Thank you, Dirty_Player, for the detailed comment. Perhaps you prefer a slightly different playstyle than I do, but that's what makes Heroes 3 great – everyone can find something they enjoy.

Indeed. Everyone is free to play as they want and create maps of any level for themselves. It's just that the majority of players are used to playing at a fast pace, so that intense action begins from the very first days. So that they don't have to spend weeks accumulating resources, but instead fight off various guards from the very beginning. Personally, I would like to be able to hire dragons in the first week of the first month, and in the second or third week, have a glorious final battle with a bunch of dragons and finish the game. :smile14: But I repeat, it's up to each player.
