Heroes 6 - Discussion

The fourth installment is tactically weak and more like an RPG. And the overpowered Necropolis faction completely ruins it.

O_o lol
In the fourth game, a single battle offers much more tactical diversity than in the third or fifth.

And, for example, crossbowmen have 50% armor penetration.

Without a hero who can negate their shots through friendly fire, they are not very useful.

But after the strong AI in the fifth game, going back to this feels like a huge step down...

In all parts, the AI is not capable of opposing an experienced player who understands the game.
The AI's mental abilities are not a good indicator, because Heroes is primarily a multiplayer game.
