For me, the ideal would be a Warlord Tactics (WT) game with a balanced system of magic schools and hero skills, plus well-balanced classes, as discussed somewhere during the decline of WT. As for HotA, it's some kind of incomprehensible mishmash; its balance isn't much better than that of SoD, and it has more drawbacks than advantages. But the presence of Online Battles makes me play only HotA.
