The latest expansion pack has been released. Now, certain things are clear.

I completely agree with you, although you might be exaggerating a bit about changing the game's core elements.

2 Olga is here in the chat, and some people are saying that their father got them hooked on the 5th installment of Heroes... This is somewhat different from your opinion. And believe me, there are quite a few adult fans of the fifth game on this forum.

Adults, excuse me, what age are we talking about? I'm 26 and I like the 5th game. Am I a child?:smile13:

I'm sorry, but you're nitpicking (and you're not the only one). Yes, a huge number of adults play the 5th version – no one is arguing with that. The point is about the trend that if it continues to develop according to the scenario proposed by Olga: "We'll soon end up with things like Teletubbies and Pokémon," then the question arises: "What will adults do then?!" But you've latched onto the words without context and are trying to relate everything to the fifth game...

In general, the whole topic is about a trend, and you're discussing details. Whether it's good or bad that the world of HoMM is losing its originality is up to each person to decide (for some, it's like "new blood," and for others, it's a "loss of identity"), but I think it's foolish to deny the existence of this trend.

I, like many others, have been playing since HoMM I. I consider HoMM III to be the most successful (by many criteria) (I haven't played HoMM IV because I couldn't get into it). I play the 5th game with great interest and pleasure, and I will play the 6th if it ever comes out. But that doesn't stop me from thinking that there are problems with HoMM V, that some things could have been done differently, that many things weren't thought through as they should have been/as I would have liked, and that we'll end up with a game that's called HoMM and has the same principles as HoMM, but in itself, it won't be HoMM anymore. But I don't rule out that it could turn out even better? We'll see.
In any case, they can't take away our III.

P.S. How can you explain to someone who started with the 5th game what the spirit/atmosphere of HoMM is?!
How can you explain why HL2 is worse than HL?! (I won't even mention Doom...)
