Suggestion about saving and loading in battle | Forums

[neonek90]

Hello all,
On start I want say sorry about my bad english So I have hope, you will understand me.
I want suggest something new for HoMM V, It was in previous parts. This is saving and loading during battle. Why we can't load game, when we know our lose with enemy? We must surrender, then in campaign we must exit to menu and there we can load game ... why this operation can't be simpler?
What do you think people about this suggestion?

I whole heatedly agree... we need a load function from battle. Or, at the very least, a quit function. At least, I haven't been able to find one. It's very annoying when you know you're going to lose a battle and don't have a tavern, meaning you have to play through this long battle you cannot win.

This game REALLY REALLY NEED a SAVE AND EXIT Button in combat...

There IS a way to add the feature to your input.cfg file, located in your My Documents/username/My Games/Heroes V/etc. etc. folder.

This tip courtesy of Paradox from the Elrath.com boards:

Open the input.cfg file and find the line that says "// combat - fight mode".

Under it, add the line:

bind input_combat_load `F3`

Voila. Hit F3 in combat and load a game. The devs obviously thought this was an easily abusable feature so they decided to leave it out on purpose.

I personally like having as much control over my game as possible. This isn`t a console game, after all.

There is a mod that puts in a load button(the scroll) and a save button(the little arrow) on the battle wheel during combat. It is at the Elrath.com boards along with a multitude of other fixes and stuff like wait button, and using cleric model instead of inquisitor,original treants models, Artifact desriptions, AI fixes/enhancements(no cheating ai) etc. etc. Almost everything I hear people complaining about can be found as a mod there. Except for the map editor that we will have to wait for. Installation is easy for them you download and put the *.pak file into the data directory of Homm5. Simple!
