Modifications
Might & Magic: Heroes 5.5
Heroes 5.5 is an ambitious, massive Total Overhaul mod, calling itself an "unofficial expansion pack" that rebalances the game, changes the skill system, combines all 3 Campaigns and allows for playing the game at 64-bit which heavily improves stability. Furthermore, it fixes many bugs left in the first and second campaign while also improving and extending it.
