The difference of offline play in Heroes II and Heroes III.

#8
Auto-translated
a) In 2, if actions are repeated exactly in combat mode, the scenario of the latter remains unchanged. In 3, there are a mass of options.
b) In 3, the hero uses the Dimension Door spell a maximum of 1-4 times. In 2, the spell has no limit and works until all mana is used and the hero's turn ends.
c) The computer's combat algorithm differs. In 2, shooters are attacked first, then flyers, then infantry, with the stronger unit being targeted. In 3, the computer's behavior is more complex: dealing maximum damage with minimum losses, blocking shooters without necessarily attacking them, damaging multiple units when given the opportunity, etc.
d) In 2, regardless of a flying unit's speed, it reaches the opposite enemy camp.
e) In 2, a portal can be blocked by your hero, which is very useful for online play. In 3, however, a collision and battle occur.
