The fifth installment is gaining popularity. And I haven't played the third one in a long time. To truly understand all the depths and nuances of the game, you need to focus on one thing, and the fifth installment is more interesting in that regard...
But with each expansion, more possibilities are appearing...
The third installment is good because it requires fewer computer resources. It is also very well-designed... Besides, we know that Heroes will deviate from its usual traditions in the Hammers of Fate expansion. There will be an alt upgrade.
I think that Heroes 3 and Heroes 5 will be on par... and not higher or lower.... These are both independent products worthy of the attention of fans!
