I posted this in the Heroes 5.5 Mod subject, bit haven't had a reply yet, so I thought I'd repost it in the General Heroes section....
Loooong time H2 - 5 player here. Despite owning these on original CD's, I bought the series again in the sale for my new pc. With H5 I also downloaded and installed the 5.5 mod (RC9b). It seems to run ok so far, but naturally has a lot of differences. My concern is that it has hijacked ToE. I was expecting to be able to choose either the original ToE or 5.5; Instead, whether I click on the GoG ToE icon, or the 5.5 64bit Icon I get the same splash screen and game (5.5). Same if I try to launch the game direct from the ToE.exe in the Bin folder.
Perhaps I was spoiled by H3 and WoG which gave me a choice between standard H3 or H3WoG.
It's not a serious deal, just have to learn some new strategies.
However, I wondering if this is correct, and if there is a way to have both?
Thinks....perhaps if I reinstall ToE to a different location? Currently ALL my GoG games go to default C:\GoG Games folder. Perhaps If I created a "GoG ToE" folder in Gog games and reinstalled ToE there? Would I have a problem with saves etc?
