We all know that Heroes 4 was a major failure for 3DO. Let's discuss what could have made Heroes 4 better and saved 3DO from collapse?

I think the blame doesn't lie with 3DO. They wanted to add something new and remove the old. You can't improve units, there are far fewer possibilities, and I didn't see a good engine as such, the plot is boring. But overall, the game isn't bad if you remove these minor flaws.
Well, firstly, the developer is NWC, and 3DO is the publisher, and 3DO bought the rights to Heroes in 1996. The company's problems started even before Heroes 4, and Heroes 4 was an attempt to recoup the money, as was Might and Magic 9, but nothing worked out. So, it wasn't because of Heroes 4 that the publishing company went bankrupt.
