Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion]

Goodman, the AI is okay, even if it's a bit dumb, but it offers a real challenge: I play on maps with many opponents, and it's terrifying to watch – the AI attacks the nearest enemies incredibly quickly, and by the time you're ready for a real war, it already controls half the castles on the map.
The maps are very small – there's not much room to maneuver! In the fourth game, you had to search all over the map and explore half the hidden areas before finding an opponent, and there were cities everywhere – I've seen up to 18, but here, there's a player sitting right behind the next hill! :(
