The fourth game is one that, had it been released BEFORE Heroes Chronicles, could have been a revolution in the series and been well-received by fans. But as it is, they felt that NWC just wanted to make some quick money off a popular brand. If the fourth game had been released earlier, we would only be talking about it now. But it was released a bit too late.
Dude, I completely agree with you!
Maybe I'll be harassed by all the forum members for my response, but I'll say my piece! Heroes OF Might And Magic IV is the BEST!
Most people started with the third game, and that's why the innovations in the fourth game didn't appeal to them! Well, I don't mind other people's opinions!
But there's no need to express negative opinions directly, pointing out the differences between the third and fourth games!!! This transition is a Revolution (with a capital "R" :cool: )
And for some reason, the differences are judged as flaws! And now, remember which Heroes game you played for the first time!
Okay, okay! Who did I offend? Write!:cool:
(I already posted this message in the section to vote for the fourth game!) :cool:

I'm only playing the fourth game now. I've even abandoned the second game, which I used to hold in high regard.
In my opinion, the fourth game is the best in the series. I know I'm going to get flamed for this, BUT... Playing the 2.0 version from Bugisoft, I don't notice any particular imbalance... Maybe I'm just not a "pro gamer," and I don't pay close attention to certain nuances, but playing through Hotseat and against the computer, I don't have any complaints. Neither the balance of races, nor the balance of creatures, nor the balance of schools of magic causes any particular complaints.
And now let's consider the best interface in the series, the most pleasing graphics, and excellent design (the third game doesn't even come close with its plastic dolls and puppet animation - that's just my opinion), the best system of schools of magic and ranks/classes/skills, and finally, the magnificent music - it turns out to be at least a simply excellent game.
It's just that there are too many changes compared to the third game, and the fanatical fans weren't ready - many still aren't ready ))) and they keep bashing the fourth game )))
And that's not deserved...
Please remember that what I wrote is just my opinion ))
I've played all the games and a lot of them.
I agree, there's no arguing! I've played all the games myself (I, II, III, IV, V). And my opinion is that it's an UNRECOGNIZED masterpiece by most of society!:cool:

Why bother learning anything if cyclops are just stronger??? :D And in general, the strongest unit is the peasant! ;) You just need to know how to play with them :D
And I don't care that poisonous creatures are stronger in terms of stats. It's just easier to kill them than vampires, which constantly regenerate.
I'll add fuel to the fire: mages are more useful than golems, elves are stronger than tigers, and monks are cooler than paladins :D
Mages are tastier than golems, but I don't really agree with the rest!:cool:

honestly, I would still prefer angels to champions if angels had a retaliatory or at least a first strike! but as it is, even though they are not bad, champions are better in that regard!
Well, I don't know, maybe put the strength of a dragon on it? And against an angel? :cool:
