I didn't say that in other parts, the stats of creatures don't match their appearance; it's a fact. Please, don't nitpick individual phrases.

I just hinted that I think the match between the appearance of units and their stats in other parts is no worse than in the 5th installment.

The first thing that worried the developers was commercial success, not the depth of the game. Although the 5th installment turned out to be a pretty good part of the series, its focus on the masses has not been canceled. Therefore, its main trump card is precisely the graphics; it must be at the highest level, otherwise, it will not attract new players. And after the graphics comes everything else...

Hmm... I don't think that any part of the Heroes series wasn't aimed at commercial success. All Heroes games are aimed at the masses.
In the 4th installment, there was also good graphics for its time... otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted new players, perhaps even more so than the 5th installment does now. ;)
Graphics are unimportant... I play on the lowest settings anyway (it lags at higher settings...) and that's fine. The graphics in the 5th installment are far from the most important thing. Very far, VERY, and VERY far.
And I also played the 4th installment on the lowest settings...:smile43:

its essence is a FAIRY TALE!!!! a fairy tale, do you understand?!

Hmm... what is a FAIRY TALE?

The fourth installment was a step in the wrong direction that didn't pay off. But, as they say, you need to learn from your mistakes. That's why we have the 5th installment, whose developers took the best from previous parts. And making the graphics like in Heroes III would have been ridiculous at the time when the 5th installment was being created. Attracting buyers with good graphics is never a bad thing.

Are you saying that if you don't play it, then it's terrible? "Didn't pay off" is nonsense; what should the 4th installment have "paid off" with?
And the 5th installment is not at all a collection of the best from previous parts; it is a DIFFERENT game, just like the 4th, the 3rd, and whatever you think, also the 2nd and the 1st.

what is the first thing most people remember when it comes to the 5th installment? Isn't it the graphics?

I haven't seen a single player of the 5th installment who would praise it only for its graphics. And if we talk about those who bought the disc just to look at the beautiful picture on the cover... well, there are plenty of them in the 4th and 3rd installments too...
