Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Patch 1.2 and later A Steam forum reply quotes the official Heroes site as saying the console changed in version 1.2, though the commands should basically still be there. Steam Community: Heroes of Might & Magic V console discussion
- add_army syntax A Steam user reports that add_army 2,70 failed with the message usage: nTownID, bUpgrade. Magicgameworld's example add_army 5, 0 follows that form: a town number, then 0 or 1. Steam Community: Heroes of Might & Magic V console discussion
- Where autoexec.cfg lives The Steam poster says the game reads its settings from files in My Documents rather than the program folder, which is worth checking if the console line seems to have no effect. Steam Community: Heroes of Might & Magic V console discussion
- add_gold and add_money Magicgameworld says add_gold zeroes your other resources, while add_money sets them all and gold to 1,000 times the amount. Magicgameworld: Heroes of Might & Magic V cheats
