It's been a while since you've been around, so I'll be responding to older messages as well.
1. There was no campaign editor in the third game from the very beginning.
2. In the fourth game, there were initially fewer maps than in the fifth, and they were less balanced. Besides, there was no Multiplayer at all (a ridiculous thing for such a game).
3. You're really getting on my nerves with your complaints about the Academy. I could start yelling about how terrible it was that after the second game, where this race was a mountain-desert race, they stuck it in the snow, ruining the whole atmosphere, units, heroes, Castle, etc.
4. "Why did they need to release the game?" They released it because millions of players will refine the balance much faster than a couple of dozen testers. (Regarding the uselessness of Djinns, go to the section where they discuss the Academy; I've written about their advantages there many times).
5. If you say that the fifth game didn't appeal to you, then that's just your opinion, and you should perceive other people's opinions objectively.
6. The only thing that really disappointed me was the disappearance of the Barbarians. 8((( That's sad.
P.S. And if you're complaining about the unfinished state and lack of balance, how can you play the fourth game????????
