Haha.
Are you serious? Do you think that after the release of the 5th installment, the developers will unanimously start working on a 2D version of the 6th game?

How can 3D ruin everything?
Only if it's poorly implemented.

By the way, your colleagues claim that not only 3D will ruin the game, but also the magic school, the ATV scale, the battlefield, the cartoonish heroes and units, Town Points, and so on. The list could go on forever.

So, the game was irrevocably ruined about a year and a half ago....
.....for you. :)

Haha.

And I will play the beautiful, new FIFTH installment with a feeling of euphoria and divine delight.

And you can keep playing the gray, albeit pretty, 3rd game and wait for the 6th game, although I think you should wait for Heroes 8 - it will definitely be 2D. :)
