Problems with Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

I've found the main problem with the fourth installment. It's the "haters." I'm new to the Heroes world, but I've already read a lot of negative reviews about this game. This needs to be addressed! If you don't like this game, then forget about it and stop bashing it. As a fan of the fourth game, I don't like this, and I will fight against it! I don't understand why fans of Heroes 4 tolerate this and stay silent. I will do everything to protect my favorite installment of Heroes from unfair words and biased opinions. Just because you don't like it doesn't give you the right to speak badly about it. Even if you're new to the Heroes world, I don't like a lot of things, but I don't bash other installments or other games. You should have respect for the opinions and preferences of others!

:) Exactly. And I've played all versions and still play them, and I know what I'm talking about, so I have a better understanding than many of the strengths and weaknesses of each version in terms of playability, and I have my own opinion on this, but I stay silent, and I only start criticizing other versions when I see some overly zealous fans of the third game bashing the fourth game, and mostly these are people who not only haven't played all the versions, but I haven't even seen them have any decent results in any version or in any tournament. If I'm wrong, let these people provide links where I can see their results in tournaments. Strong players of the third game, I know some, they don't bash the fourth game (at least not publicly, and they are more careful in their statements). Opinions and preferences, as well as criticism, should be at least somewhat substantiated. Otherwise, it all boils down to something like: "I don't like the graphics - the faces are ugly - this isn't Heroes at all. And in general, I'm a noob and I can't play any of the versions properly and I'm not going to learn, so I don't participate in any tournaments!" :)
