Yeah, that’s exactly what happened). Because from 1 to 4, the castles didn’t change much (some units moved from castle to castle), and there were veteran heroes, but in 5, all of that was erased… It’s like taking the history of the world and rewriting it from scratch, while still keeping the same nations and peoples. You’ll get the same result.
Also, you can take the appearance of units, buildings, and objects as an example… and it’s not about the 3D graphics (because you could have made it similar and good), but about a complete redesign.
