Оценка HoMM V Tribes of the East

Then it will be a completely different game (like Heroes 4).

Well, don't touch the poor Heroes 4! :)

And how do you imagine a hero taking damage in return if he doesn't even have a stat like hit points (HP, health)? If you introduce such a stat, it will be a completely different game (like Heroes 4). In general, it's good that the hero has his own initiative, moves like the other units, and not like in H3, where the hero can cast spells at any moment in the game. And regarding the fact that he attacks (with a sword, not magic), this is a debatable issue. In my opinion, the developers did everything right - it looks logical... BUT! if the hero is not a mage or archer (Knight, Orc, Dwarf), then how does the hero run across the entire field to the enemy archer (whom the enemy placed in the corner) to hit him with a sword, and then magically returns to his place, it looks... kind of strange...

That's what I don't like... He can attack himself, but he doesn't take damage in return - it's illogical. But the fact that the hero has his own turn is a plus. In fact, now it seems to me that the idea of Heroes 4 to bring heroes onto the battlefield is a good one, but it is extremely difficult to bring it to fruition in such a way that there is a balance between hero vs. unit. And as a result, in Heroes 4, there is a drawback, such as overpowered heroes and battles fought only by heroes. The developers of Heroes 5 approached this issue more cleverly, on the one hand, and more carelessly, on the other, IMHO. One thing is to leave only the casting of spells, and another is to introduce a full-fledged attack (which, by the way, also strongly depends on who it is applied to, and the damage range is somewhat strange). By the way, an archer would look just as strange, because then, logically, the question would remain: "why don't the enemy archers shoot at him?". Therefore, it's all a matter of nuance. In general, it is not worth comparing the last 3 parts of Heroes with each other. They are very different, even Heroes 3 and Heroes 5. In my opinion, Heroes 5 is just as good as Heroes 3 and Heroes 4. There are pros and cons. And most importantly, it is undoubtedly part of the "Heroes family".
