Let everyone love what they love... But why do fans of Heroes 3 always feel the need to visit the Heroes 4 forum and try to prove something here?

Well, you could also go to the Heroes 3 forum and do the same. 😉
Although I like Heroes 3, but only sometimes.

Well, I don't know, I really don't know; personally, I like the fourth installment of Heroes of Might and Magic the most. Firstly, they have fewer glitches; secondly, they feature phoenixes, mantises, and other creatures; and thirdly, I found them very easy to understand. The only drawback is that you can't upgrade units.

Horrible. I think it's awful! I played it a couple of times and that's it... Awful!!!! Heroes 3 is the best!

A balanced opinion. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's terrible. I don't enjoy The Sims either, but I know there are people for whom The Sims is more than just a game. People who will only have fond, happy memories of The Sims. And that means The Sims isn't garbage. People, for the sake of developing your minds, don't be so categorical. I like number 4 the most. Not just like or cool, but specifically like. I get pleasure somewhere inside, similar to an erotic feeling. That's it. It's a shame - the AI is weak. But there are things in the world that are even weaker - for example, the brains and judgments of user 65RUS.

To be honest, I didn't enjoy it. I played it a long time ago, and my computer couldn't handle it well. I think I should try it again sometime, because I don't even have anything to discuss about it. But I still like the second, third, and fifth installments more.

I don't like the building system in the castles, the hero skill tree, and the unclear factions. But everything else is great – it's cool when a hero participates in a battle. And it's even cooler when units move on their own. And the funniest thing is riding on zebras =))).

Yes, Zyobry are awesome! It's a very fresh idea! I find them very amusing, especially when I saw them for the first time.

Well, I don't know, I really don't. Personally, I like the 4th installment the most. First, it has fewer bugs. Second, it has Phoenixes, Mantises, and other creatures. Third, I figured it out very easily. The only drawback is that you can't upgrade units.

I don't feel the same strong love for the 5th installment as you do, but I do play it sometimes. Today, I was just playing with Draga (Life vs. Order). And regarding the bugs... you're wrong, there are plenty of them.

The hero participates in the battle - that's a bad idea. The hero will always be targeted by archers, and if the hero is a mage and you've put all your bets on him... The fact that you can move troops without a hero is also not a great idea. There are a lot of experiments in the fourth installment.
But still, if people play it and enjoy it, then it's a good game.
P.S. Tastes differ...

Well, in my opinion, there aren't enough castles. And I don't like some of the creatures. I also don't like the idea of alternative building options. But overall, I haven't had a chance to fully appreciate everything it has to offer yet.

In my opinion, the worst idea is to have a counterattack happen simultaneously with an attack:mad: There's no point in building melee units – even with a significant numerical advantage, someone will still get killed. The best tactic is to simply shoot them down...

Well, that's actually more realistic. We have to admit that. A warrior wouldn't just stand there and wait to be attacked!

In my opinion, the worst idea is the retaliatory strike that happens simultaneously with the attack:mad: There's no point in building melee units – even with a several-fold advantage, someone will still be killed. The best tactic is to simply shoot them down...

Where have you seen a war without losses and without mutual fighting? There are no such wars:)

The hero participates in a losing battle; the hero always gets blamed, and if the hero is a mage and you've put all your hopes on him...

That's the whole point. My husband, for example, plays in a very interesting way: he levels up his heroes as much as possible, gathers them into one army, and goes around defeating everyone without any creatures. About 4-5 heroes and 0 creatures. You have to admit, it's original, right?
And, by the way, I think it's more realistic that a hero participates in a battle rather than standing on the sidelines like a coward, watching his army get slaughtered.

The fact that you can withdraw troops without a hero is also not a great idea,

But I, on the contrary, think this function is useful. You don't have to run to the city to get your army or hire an escort hero, which takes a lot of time, and the army comes to you on its own. In my opinion, it's great!

There are a lot of experiments in the fourth game.

100% agree!) The fourth game is very experimental; you can come up with a lot of tactics... It's an interesting game...

The Zebra is awesome! In general, the graphics in the fourth game are so fantastic, like a painting... it's as if you've really entered a fairy tale...
Oh well, I like the fourth game!
The only downside is that there are a lot of bugs. And I haven't quite figured out the mechanics either. Like, dividing the army into N parts to pass through a small gap between mountains... It's complicated... :confused:
