Repeated intro
Hello Heroes, On November 19th we released MMH7 patch 1.5 to introduce additional content to the game and enhance the stability of multiplayer experience. While we hope you enjoyed the new maps and the improved multiplayer, we identified a critical bug affecting the spells and skill window. Unfortunately it is quite random and has a low occurrence rate, explaining why it escaped our QC teams vigilance. We have spent days to reproduce it on our end, and now are pleased to finally confirm that this bug has been identified and will be fixed in the upcoming 1.6 patch! Players who have experienced the spell/skill issue should note that those save files will continue to be corrupt even post 1.6 but any new saves made will work as intended. We apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. We wish to extend our thanks to you all again, for your support, by providing numerous logs and saves with us.

Now the signs are here for all to see, and only the most delusional still dare denying them: the world is undergoing a drastic climate change, and it's too late to do anything about it. As the world freezes over, all nations begin a desperate struggle to control the remaining resources."
Official Tutorial Map Even if most of you are veteran players of the franchise, a game such as Heroes might be a complex experience at first sight for newcomers.
