What would you change in Heroes of Might and Magic IV?

I don't know about the game being drawn out, IronAxe, I haven't played it.

Well, you can logically deduce that. The more you can upgrade, the more money and minerals you need, and therefore the more days it takes to complete these tasks. But the fact that the player is given an extra choice – like, you can choose not to upgrade, win without upgraded monsters – I think that's also a plus for the third game. The more possibilities and functionality a game has, the more playable it is. Take chess, for example. There are few pieces and a small board, but how many combinations are there due to the different functionality of each piece! That's probably why chess is considered one of the most interesting intellectual games.
