“Heroes of Might and Magic V: Tribes of the East”

Do you have a strong dislike for good games and a penchant for bad ones? I can't even imagine how bad the butchering of the third installment could be, considering that the third game is a disfigured version of the second.

A little late, but here's my answer:
The flaws of the third game lie in:
a large number of new units
3 new cities
improved graphics compared to the second game
improved design
a large number of new spells
a large number of new heroes and buildings
a large number of new artifacts
a much more developed plot

Now let's compare the fifth game and the third:
fewer units than in the third
fewer cities than in the third
graphics - yes, it's better!
design - I don't even want to talk about it; rare good ideas, like the female angels and beautiful cities, are overshadowed by the clunky gargoyles, smoking skeletons, etc.
plot - completely new, unrelated to the previous installments
But I thought, okay, maybe they'll at least introduce orcs, maybe a glimmer of reason will appear, maybe a sense of style will prevail over greed, but Nival immediately refuted my anti-political thoughts - they attribute African culture to the orcs! No comment.
