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

What are you all arguing about? Heroes 5 was initially conceived as a game about a different universe, with a different set of factions, and a different worldview. Only the core gameplay concept remained from the previous installments, and nothing else, and this became clear immediately after the original release. Now the last expansion has been released, so let's play it instead of tearing apart the different parts of the Heroes series. The game has lost its old world but gained a new one, adopting trends from other successful games. The "pop" element – its widespread appeal – why are all the fans of Heroes 5 so offended by this? In my opinion, it's obvious, and I personally don't see anything wrong with it. Some of my friends started playing Heroes with the 5th installment; they are happy to see night elves, dwarves, and orcs there, and you can't convince them that it should be any different. The old world died with the end of the campaign (which I also don't particularly like), but it's good that there was at least some continuation.
