    Tribes Of The East is more than a mere expansion. It elevates the original games quality to much higher standarts and with this expansion the game becomes a better game than the most fans' favourite HOMM3. An epic game all in all.

    An excellent buy. It boasts a variety of new creatures and even better graphics. The new Orcs faction and alternative upgrades add a new dimension to the gameplay. Highly recommended.

    The last great title of the Heroes of Might & Magic series. In my opinion, this stand-alone expansion put the game on par with Heroes II and III, the best in the series.
    Heroes VI and VII failed miserably, so if you want to enjoy the last epic title of the series (and the only one worth playing in 3d), then go ahead and buy this one!

    This is the climax to the Heroes 5 series. The new faction is one of my favorites to play, the single player is the best in the series (which isn

    This is going to be heretical for some hardcore HOMM fans. Tribes turns 5 into a game that is BETTER than III. 5 on its own is not as good as 3. It has similar mechanics, dodgy camera angles, a "meh" campaign (with some difficulty spikes that are legendary) and a lack of a decent skirmish mode. Tribes fixes this. The game now offers upgrade paths, it flows better, the maps are simplyThis is going to be heretical for some hardcore HOMM fans.

The game now offers upgrade paths, it flows better, the maps are simply excellent. I love III it plays really well on my old laptop and its methods and gameplay are like second nature. It's quick, precise and smart. However - with 5 - if you can handle the "World of Warcraft" style graphics - and get the Tribes expansion - it's arguably a better game.… Expand

    Jus when i thought it couldn't get any better after Hammers of Fate, i was proven wrong by this expansion. Again, a new faction with completely unique features, like shattering magic or blood rage, new campaign, and third level of creatures, which brought new life into the game.

    Best expansion in history of Heroes. It not only carries over all of the best parts of the series, but also adds a long waited change to the classic formula - alternative unit upgrades.

    Great expansion and a general improvement, but playing the orc campaign seems a bit too easy for me after the hard-ish main story line.

    Well, HoMM 5 is the last of the classic Heroes series, you know :D
    Imho it combines the gameplay of Heroes 3 and unbeatable design
    of Heroes 2! Tribes of the East completes the game and seals it as the
    last best HoMM. Tired writing, I gonna go play some Heroes myself!

    Maybe the plot of this part of the trilogy is worse than the first, but the gameplay is completely completed. More even delayed additional campaigns in which it could play for several weeks. Of course 10.

    Это отличная колборация 3 и 4 части героев с хорошей боевой системой, которая заменила мне 4-ку. Но к сожалению сам сюжет в этом дополнении баганный

    this expansion really just made the base game (and also the second DLC) 100% complete, it added a ton of new stuff including the alternative unit upgrade option which is honestly such a great option to have, it makes the game more unique

    Tribes of the East is easy to recommend to players who missed the core game and want to check out what Heroes of Might & Magic is all about. The stand alone nature of the pack and its thirty-dollar price tag makes it an easy buy.

    All of which amounts to new levels, harder difficulty, and not much else. This is pretty much the template for second expansion packs these days, so Tribes of the East is at least somewhat trendy. Nevertheless, you can't praise this mediocre add-on for fitting in with the cool kids. Nival should have finished the Heroes V series on a higher note than this.

    A solid follow-up to an already engaging franchise. Players with a lot of time invested in Heroes of Might and Magic V are going to appreciate the engine tweaks and thoroughly enjoy giving it a go with the Orcs.
