HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC 5

Enable Console

First you need to enable console. To do so for all game profiles go to
gamedirprofilesautoexec.cfg
Put this as last line
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes
So it will look like this
...
//=====
// Startup
mainmenu
setvar dev_console_password = schwinge-des-todes

Or you can enable console for only select profile by appending same
line at end of user.cfg in
C:Documents and SettingsYourWinAccMy DocumentsMy GamesHeroes of
Might and Magic VProfilesYourProfile

Then you can use some cheats ingame. Press tilde key("`", "~") to
bring down console. If it doesn't work for you because you don't have
the key on your keyboard, can't find it because of foreign layout,
whatever, you can always edit input.cfg in your user profile dir
//debug keys
bind show_console '`'
Edit this to something suitable for you then.

Basic thing console does is tell you what ai has been doing last turn.

Now, to cheats themselves.

Most complex 1 is add_skill

add_skill takes skill-id or name as parameter, you can find list of
all 150 skills/perks/abilities names and their ids in
datadata.pakscriptsadvmap-startup.lua
HoMM 5 pak files are pkzip archives and as such you can access that
lua scipt file using winrar/winzip etc(btw unpacking all packs will
speed things up since game will access uncompressed data instead of
looking in archives. You can even delete packs after that, but better
move them somewhere else and keep them since we don't know if upcoming
patches will modify archives or use overrides system).

So, for example:
add_skill Necromancy
Pretty self-explanatory.
or
add_skill 19
Will give perk pathfinding
You can add skills over limit it seems. E.g. more than 6 skills etc.
Though you won't see them in ui, but will get benefits.
