In the very first version of Heroes 3, everything was better than in version 1.0 of Heroes 5!
Yes, probably better with a bunch of bugs on creatures, spells, without assembled artifacts, game crashes at the end of the 4th week when playing multiplayer, and so on. Maybe many people have simply forgotten what Heroes 3 version 1.00 was like?
P.S. And who made Heroes 1 and 2?
