Personally, I like both 4 and 3 about the same; right now I'm tired of 3, so I'm playing 4. I completely agree with LeSHiJ-MaX—there is more realism. The fact that there are many detractors is simply due to the difficulties of transition; 4 just didn't catch the wave... thank god they removed flight. You sit here peacefully developing and leveling up, and then out of nowhere an army flies over the mountains and captures your Castle—I mean, what is that? Where is the tactics? And in 4, there are different movement conditions depending on the terrain, and one's progress depends on the units' speed; overall, I think the game turned out to be more tactical. In contrast, 5 is just a project for the masses—even a small child could play it. Overall, I advise all the detractors to play it longer and not compare, just play without listening to anyone's opinion)))
