Hold shift, click on a unit, then click on an empty space. A box should pop up asking you how many units you want in each stack.

Ha, crap! That's much easier than in Heroes3. Now if I could just make Heroes5 stop giving me the famous DirectX DLL error...

shift also worked in heroes 3,4.
any hotkeys from previous games got put into 5 also.
like E - end turn
M - move
B - build
R - recruit
...etc

No freaking joke, I was wondering the same thing as well, in 3 you didn't need to use the keyboard as there was a button to do that, I already thought they'd forget to implement it.

I really hated Homm3, perhaps few people thinks the same?
The two discs i had ended up in the trash can. :evil:
I found some magic in Homm5 that i used to love in Homm2.

Don't really understand why you hated 3 as it was the best in the series imo and most people will agree with me. And it's even stranger that you like 5 now, as it was basically made in honor of 3, most of the elements are the same as in 3 with 3d gfx of course.

I felt that 3 was just a tweaked version of 2 with bad music. Getting repetitive too. Nothing revolutionary.
I think i'm a suck up to unpopular games and rejects those that get popular.

Didn't know you could split groups, I've purposely kept 2 stacks of Archangels for ages through careful management.
OT, has anyone purchased the Limited Edition? Future Shop still has a trio for sale online (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10074578), I grabbed the last one in-store in Toronto a few days back.

Never finished any of them, but: 1 was alright, 2 was good, 3 was great, and I skipped 4.

You didn't miss much with 4 because frankly it sucked badly.

homm4 was just bad for some reason i dont know why !! didnt like it at all !! homm5 is very much like homm3 with better graphics!! it is kinda boring after awhile.... but it is always fun when you dont got anything to do :)
