In my opinion, this is the best game in the series, and it's precisely because of the presence of heroes on the battlefield. Combining the features and skills of heroes is a very interesting activity. The army generally takes a backseat because a combination of powerful heroes can defeat any army in Heroes 4. The game's strength also lies in the fact that your skills really matter, and it's not just luck (lol, 200 wyverns joined me). If you want, you can defeat an army 1000 times larger than yours. + Heroes on the battlefield. + Extremely interesting Campaigns. + The ability to choose a castle upgrade path. + All hero abilities are very useful. + Reasonable limitations on necromancy, summoning, and diplomacy. + Beautiful and diverse creatures (the Black Dragon is a masterpiece). + Reasonable morality and luck system. + The most user-friendly interface of all the Heroes games. + Very beautiful music. + Each creature has abilities. - Cities are poorly drawn and not epic. - 4 levels of creatures, and they cannot be upgraded. - Few assembled artifacts. - Generic heroes without special abilities. - Stupid AI. - Weak balance between some races. - Not all castles have a full set of "their" abilities. ----- NO MAP GENERATOR!!! In principle, this is really a slightly different game with a greater emphasis on RPG.
