not often do you find a game this addictive at such a low price!

User Rating: 8.5 | Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East PC
By itachi100 | Review Date:
Tribes of the east sounds just like what it is! about a bunch of random tribes; in the east. but there's much more to it than that. it adds an entire new faction that fits right into the series! unlike the failure we know as "hammers of fate" the new faction fits perfectly like the others, and is fun to play as; not horribly difficult and frustrating to play as.

this new faction is the orcs! what's a medieval fantasy series without orcs?! but these orcs are special ones! they have other species like centaurs, cyclops, wyverns, goblins and more!

but overall, the orcs are built up like most of the other factions!

here is the layout (i forgot some of the units, there are more!)
1. Weak infantry unit - Goblin
2. Archer unit - Centaur
3. Strong Infantry unit - Slayer
4. Priest unit - Priests (lol, the priests are HOT >:D)
5. Cavalry unit - Wyvern
6. giant total domination unit O_O - Cyclops


Tribes of the east; like the other games has it's own fun campaign! can be a little hard after a while, but its fun! you will be playing 2 orc campaigns, 1 dwarf campaign, and 1 magic arabian people campaign

some of the campaign levels are extremely difficult to find your way around

and what makes a fun skirmish game in HoMM? RMG! :D (random map generator) but instead of HoF (hammers of fate) the rest of the game is fun too!

but tribes of the east has something for all the factions! it adds a third unit tier! all it really does is makes your units look cooler, nothing special.

the problem, is the enourmous amount of time you have to wait between turns; its a real pain!


with all this out of the way, ill tell you to enjoy the game if you get it! (there is more content then what i have listed thus so far; im sure of it!)

    Gamespot review is just lousy

    By arturchix | Review Date: Oct 20, 2007 | PC

    I’m truly enjoying the game but Gamespot review is just a slap in the face. First, the arguments of the Mr.Todd are contradictious. First he says that the game “features good amount of new content, including over a dozen... Read Full Review
