What were your expectations for Heroes 4?

> What did you expect from Heroes 4?

The poll is missing at least one option. Personally, I was hoping for a nod to Heroes 2. I didn't like the Third game from the moment I saw it, and I still don't. Heroes 2 is a rare and wonderful work of art for me. I expected Heroes 4 to bring back the warm colors of the Second game, restore some of the cartoonishness, remove upgrades, allow units to travel on their own, and eliminate the four-elemental magic system that was introduced in the Third game. Thus, a significant number of my hopes for Heroes 4 have come true.

Some things, however, did not come true, but these are mostly minor desires related to the design of the units. I also hoped that they would provide, if not the infamous True 3D, then at least the ability to rotate the map. This did not happen. Also, it seems that my desperate mind once wanted the ability to build new castles (but it doesn't anymore)... Well, it's not a big deal. Heroes 4 is wonderful, almost as wonderful as Heroes 2. I continue to consider the Third game, with its blue tables, ubiquitous upgrades, pretentious musical score, shamefully designed emblems in the style of "family underwear," and quasi-photographic hero portraits, as some kind of misunderstanding.

That's it.

BTW, it's really interesting: am I the only one who doesn't like Erathia, Blade, and Shadows?
