- What are the drawbacks of Heroes 3? (What didn't you like about it?)

You're right – magic is a bit of a mixed bag. It's all useful, but some spells are just better than others. Now, to the point. I didn't like the unchanging background of castles, regardless of the landscape. And it's also silly that any hero can appear in taverns. Personally, I don't understand why a necromancer or a demon would be in the tavern of a Knight's city. They got rid of this nonsense in the fourth game. I also would have liked it if battles for things like crypts, vaults, and pyramids took place indoors, rather than in the open air. I was hoping that this would be done up until The Shadow of Death, but it wasn't meant to be.
