Discussion about the "Hammers of Fate" expansion.

Auto-translated

In the city, the most significant innovation was the caravans brought over from HoMM 4. A hero is no longer required to visit every outpost to gather an army. It is enough to order soldiers from neighboring cities and buildings for wagons to head toward the capital. By the way, the enemy can intercept and destroy these caravans. An excellent way to wear down the opponent's strength.

Everything is good, everything is correct, everything is great, but these elements should have been introduced in the original immediately. Now they look like a competent correction of mistakes, for which, naturally, one is not praised. Especially since they were too lazy to add the frequently used "Wait" button to the control panel. One has to be distracted by the keyboard.

Many new Multiplayer maps, artifacts, buildings, and creatures have appeared. They revived the long-awaited random map generator, whose functionality improved even further after the last update. Finally, a simultaneous turn mode was introduced, which had a positive effect on dynamics — you no longer have to be bored while the opponent deals with their hero on the map. Multiplayer was born again; it became faster, more diverse, and more interesting. And that is what matters most when it comes to "Heroes." After all, it wasn't Campaigns that won them their popularity.
Most flaws were fixed, controversial ideas were abandoned, the game was diversified with innovations, and they even blessed us with a unique dwarf race. A huge step forward.
