It would have been better to bring back the Fortress castle instead of the tentacled underwater creatures, beetle demons, and drunken bumblebees...
And the fact that heroes ride on all sorts of cool creatures instead of horses is great; it's one of my favorite aspects of the fifth game. And in the fourth game, I really liked that the Sylvan faction rode on zebras, and the Chaos faction rode on nightmares. And in the sixth and seventh games, it's good that they didn't mess up this aspect.
