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

Mugais, continuing our conversation... This isn't an argument, but just an exchange of opinions, so don't be alarmed if something seems off to you :)

1. You don't always need to fortify the Castle. The AI attacks me either in Campaigns or when there are about one and a half Earth Elementals in the city. The AI generally behaves somewhat inadequately in this part.

Here, I think, there is a lack of experience playing the 4th installment. Or maybe it's just not enough? After all, you can play not only against the AI... The AI behaves "somewhat inadequately" everywhere. You can only get real action and excitement by playing against a human.

2. I don't recognize difficulty levels above average. Beyond that, it's just plain masochism. Especially if you allow neutral armies to roam around - then you won't be able to leave the Castle.

This is one of the reasons why the AI is slow. On the "novice" and "apprentice" levels, it's not very interesting to play against the AI. It's clear that the AI attacks less and you have more strength. It's just not interesting. And it's very difficult to truly experience the game.
