What would you change in Heroes of Might and Magic IV?

Everyone says that the 4 heroes turned out not very well. 3DO just wanted to bring something new to the HOMM series, they did a bad job, and they started to be cursed...

First of all, don't speak for everyone. And those who are not used to filtering their words and curse - they themselves cannot create anything and do not know how - otherwise they would at least show respect for someone else's work.

All that needed to be removed:
1) The hero on the battlefield as a combat unit.

This is a game where heroes also run around in the army, unlike the third installment. Either you accept the game as it is, or don't play it.

All that needed to be removed:
2) Movement of the army without a hero (it was possible to make captains who carried armies with them, but moved 50% slower and did not gain experience for killing monsters on the map).

Is this something like what they came up with in WOG? An unnecessary parasitic structure to complicate the game?

3) Separate Necropolis from Inferno.

It would be worth separating them, but I think this is related to the pentagram of schools of magic - it is very well thought out, and an extra city would not fit into it.

4) Remove the Chaos faction (or rename it).

Well, call it Disorder - the essence will not change.

5) Change the defense and attack mode of the Castle (the moat near the Castle should deal damage. Make towers that attack the enemy).

It's just a habit from the third installment.

6) Change the textures (of the Castle, both in battle mode and in travel mode. Of some creatures, such as imps and others).

Imps in diapers really don't look very good. But the Castles are quite normal.

7) There should be more obstacles on the battlefield.

At least they managed to deal with these obstacles...

...3DO could have released heroes better than the third...

...if they hadn't gone bankrupt. And that's a pity - the followers came up with a different world, in my opinion, it's much worse, and I don't really want to play it.
