Waiting For Heroes V [4/06/06]
As activity goes down in Homm3 & 4, both new players and veterans alike wait for the release of Homm5.  Once news arrives that the game has gone gold, ToH will close for 2 weeks to prepare for Homm5.  There will be a new look & some modified automation when it opens a few days before Heroes V's release.  ToH is expected to burst with renewed activity, with a tremendous influx of new players, and veterans returning to the scene.  As for the art contest, submissions will remain open (extended) until ToH closes for its new look.

ToH Homm5 Art Contest [3/01/06]
With Heroes V's release no earlier than May, ToH is preparing for the new game with improved automation and a new look.  Inspired by Nival's art contest, we are looking for some good artists to submit homm5-related artwork for the mainpage image map, and subtournaments.  As for a general idea of what we are looking for in a mainpage image map, simply look to the mainpage image above, or our older black dragon image for the past season.

Prizes are $500 if the image is used for the mainpage, and $200 for every image used for subtournaments.  The new look will revert to a 'darker' feel with a black background, so keep that in mind, as well as keeping the image not too cluttered, as space will be needed for text and menu buttons.  Contest ends on March 31st, and payment is made via check or western union.  Contact admin@toheroes.com for any more details & artwork submission.

Some amazing talent was shown in Nival's art contest, and it would be nice to have some original work applied to the upcoming Homm5 ToH Season.

The future of ToH and Online Heroes Gaming? [09/20/05]
Players have asked as to what will become of ToH when Homm5 arrives.  Well definitely a lot of good things, the site will once again have a new look to it, along with a brand new season that should usher a tremendous amount of new activity.  

The automation for this site was designed to handle a lot of traffic, but the dissapointment called HeroesIV never allowed ToH to rise to its full potential.  Now with HommV we have high hopes of a return to the days of Season III where 100s of games were being played a day.

Right now the player database has nearly 22,000 members, with all records & history intact.  So when the move is made to Heroes V on its launch (realistically sometime around February 2006) all veteran dragon/wyvern icons will follow through for those concerned (along with Caesar titles).  But we expect a tremendous influx of new players by that time...

Looks like Ubisoft will have its own matchmaking service (like zone, gamespy) so most if not all ToH gaming will go on there.  It is also rumored that they may have their own ladder setup as well.  But ToH is where its at... we promise :)

Ensuring Heroes V Will Be The Game We Want to Play! [1/25/06]
According to the community of Beta Testers and Fans following the development of HommV, there is a lot of balancing, bugs & gameplay changes needed before the game is released.  But the corporate pressures to release the game on time before March is up may risk the quality & playability of the game.
So the communities have set up petitions to hopefully get enough pressure to direct the attention of the powers-that-be to extending the development time.  Here is a list of the forums supporting the petition:
