How to install:


1) First, you need a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic 5, which is an amazing game despite its older age, and the last good game in the Heroes of Might and Magic series. And which is currently 50% off for only 9% on GOG! https://www.gog.com/en/game/heroes_.....magic_5_bundle


2) Download and install the latest version of the HoMM5.5 mod, which is quickly and easily done. Just download it, and the installer will do everything. This mod adds a lot of small quality of life changes to HoMM5 and is a must! https://www.moddb.com/mods/might-ma.....es-55/articles


3) Download the .pak file in the following link, and copy-paste it in the Data folder of Heroes of Might and Magic 5. The PNG images Step 1, 2, and 3 in the same link explain where to find the Data folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/fold.....j-K3dSGeyKKAQ5

4) Be sure to join the Might & Magic Heroes 5.5 server, where you can download maps compatible with 5.5 from the # compatible-maps channel, as well as ask any questions https://discord.com/invite/G7jadyp

Just follow these 4 simple steps, and you can gain the Spirit Caller units within your army while playing as the Sylvan elven faction. Normally you can only recruit units from the buildings within your settlements, but the Sylvan work differently: There is a skill that only the Ranger and Avenger heroes can get, which is called "Leadership". For each rank within the Leadership skill (Basic, Advanced, Expert) among all of your Sylvan heroes, you gain 12 free Spirit Caller units at the start of each week in each of your settlements! Don't worry, this is very much balanced, as the Druid hero (and the spellcaster heroes of the other factions) have a similar mechanic where they gain free units (Water Elementals for the Sylvan) after having invested into skills within the Summoner skill tree. As such, this mod will hopefully enhance the already amazing experence that is HoMM 5

DESCRIPTION

Spirit Callers represent the common elf within Sylvan society, all of whom to some extend share a close bond to nature and the spirits around them. This allows them to commune with the spirits, and ask them for their aid in tasks such as farming, at which they then excel with terrifying efficiency. While their Spirit Communion is not as powerful as the chants and bond with nature that the druids enjoy, it is more consistent, and there are many more of them. Most Spirit Callers prefer to use their Spirit Communion for their day to day tasks, but they can be persuaded to join the battlefield by leaders who are sufficiently skilled at leadership. There, they can ask the fire spirits to decimate their enemies, ask the earth spirits to protect them from harm, ask the wind spirits to shield their allies from incoming projectiles, and ask the water spirits to heal the injured and even bring them back from the brink of death. They work well with dryads, whose siphon mana ability energizes the spirits around them, increasing their communion. They are not battle hardened combatants however, and elven leaders often prefer to keep them safe as taxpayers in order to maintain the elven war machine.
