Problems with Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

basically in this game potions lose their significance, the hero's goal is to buff their own, debuff the enemies, cast a couple of mass spells, summon some folk and make a heroic exit. There is absolutely no time for drinking.

you can drink a potion before battle too, especially immortality) I hope they didn't remove this in 3.51; but generally a leveled-up hero with a bunch of potions....death to the enemies, especially if combat is fully upgraded and some kind of magic, except Life actually, it's good of course, but more for the army than for the hero, unless there are at least 3 heroes, and each is at least level 20... well that's a rarity, you can only do that in Campaigns... how I tormented the enemy in "Gathering Storm" in the final campaign, five heroes, each no less than level 27... a fairy tale :D
