Making their infernal abode on blasted lava terrain, the demons are the primary antagonists in the game, led by Urgash, the Dragon of Chaos, and their evil overlord, the Demon Sovereign Kha-Beleth. Inferno A dark kingdom of demons from the underworld known as Sheogh, the Inferno is a faction which uses "Gating", a method used to summon additional, though temporary, reinforcements onto the battlefield. Their main Heroes are young Queen Isabel and faithful Godric, the king's uncle and the top general for the Griffin Empire. They are the primary protagonists of the game's campaign missions.

Arising from their military tradition, they have the ability to train their soldiers, promoting them from one level to another. Haven Haven is a faction populated by humans and ruled by religious warlords the Holy Griffin Empire propagates "Law and Order" and faith in Elrath, the Dragon of Light. Additionally, the game's expansion packs added the Fortress and Stronghold alignments. There are six factions in the game: Haven, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Sylvan and Academy. During the game, the camera flies through the 3D environment. In addition to the three levels of skills that apply to regular skills, the racial skill can reach an ultimate level when a certain artifact is worn by the hero.

Each racial skill culminates in an 'ultimate ability' that can only be gained by learning a very specific set of regular skills and abilities. All heroes from a faction learn the same racial skill and racial abilities. The racial skill that a hero learns is dependent on their native faction. An ability is not immediately learned when the hero increases the corresponding skill level. That is, a hero with Basic level of a skill can learn one ability, Advanced level two, and Expert level three. Each level of skill gives the hero a chance to learn one ability under the skill. Each skill is associated with three to five abilities, depending on the race of the hero. Skills are divided into four levels: Basic, Advanced, Expert, and Ultimate. A hero can have up to five regular skills and always has the proper racial skill. There are two sets of skills available to heroes: racial skills and regular skills.

#HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC V SKILL LIST SERIES#
The game features a campaign series that covers six factions from Ashan, along with stand-alone and multiplayer scenarios. Like the other games in the series, players take control of "heroes" (leaders with magical abilities) who provide their services for a faction, recruiting an army from settlement strongholds, such as castles, out of various forces (humanoid, undead, monsters, and so forth) and then doing battle against roaming armies, enemy heroes and rival factions. Following the closure of The 3DO Company, Ubisoft bought the rights to the Might and Magic franchise, and used Heroes V as a means to reboot the series with a brand-new setting, called Ashan, and no continuity to previous titles. The game was released by Ubisoft in Europe on May 16, and then in the United States and Canada on May 24, 2006, with the publisher guiding Russian studio Nival Interactive in its development. Heroes of Might and Magic V is the fifth installment of the Heroes of Might and Magic fantasy turn-based strategy video game series.
