1. The lack of a random map generator (they say it will be released, but that won't save the situation);
2. "Small" map sizes!!!!
The word "small" is in quotes because I can't even call the map sizes small. You can't even call them tiny; they are simply NON-EXISTENT!!! What can I say if, on the "very large" size, the distance from one castle to another is 3 (maximum 4!!) moves??!! They say that large map sizes require a lot of RAM. Okay, then they could have made the graphics simpler or (forget it!) I'm willing to agree to 3-4 GB of memory, but the map sizes should be at least comparable to the "L" size of the third "Heroes" game!! If some add-on or patch, or anything with a NORMAL map size (even with much higher requirements) doesn't come out, I'll throw away the disc of my once-favorite game!! I'll have to go back to the third "Heroes" and the WOG versions.
