Posts from What would you change in Heroes of Might and Magic IV? Auto-translated

If they had implemented everything you described, the fourth installment would have been completely unrelated to the previous parts because: 1) The monster is supposedly weak with such high attack power; yes, it's slow, but it shouldn't be weak... 2) The Champion has always been a tier below Angels, Dragons, Devils, etc., so it's perfectly fair that it's weaker than these units. Yes, Champions are weak, but there are many of them, and they are fast. 3) The Catapult is certainly a fun unit; I laughed a lot at this thing until it fired and half my army burned to ashes. But on the other hand, in the expansions to the original Heroes, they gave all castles super-units. So, who else would they make for the Life faction? An Archangel? That's too cliché. And the other options are already there. Besides, the Catapult isn't built in the castle, so you can survive it. 4) The Angel is a perfectly average tier 4 unit, not super strong, but not weak either. It has good speed, it revives units, so what more do you need? Besides, the Life faction's troops are focused on supporting the mage, on buffs, so everything is fine with the Angels. 5) I agree that the Devils are quite weak, although again, they haven't been super strong in any of the games (stat-wise). But the Devil is good because of its surprise attacks and maneuverability; it can quickly block archers or take down a mage left unguarded. Death has an interesting combination of tier 4 units: on one hand, a weak but ubiquitous Devil, and on the other, a strong but not so fast Dragon. 6) The Phoenix for Nature is fine; it's not a creature of destruction! For example, in the second part, there's also a Phoenix for "Nature" (well, for the Sorceresses, to be precise). Putting a Phoenix in the Chaos faction just because it attacks with fire is wrong. Chaos has "evil" units that represent evil rather than fire, so a Phoenix doesn't fit in there at all. The same goes for the Hydra; just because it lives in a swamp doesn't mean it should be associated with Nature. As for the Gargantua for Nature, I still don't understand how it relates to Nature. It's undoubtedly a very strong unit, but not a natural one. It would be more suitable for the Barbarians, just remove the moss from its shoulders. Any other complaints?

How can a monster be strong? It's just... weak. And its defense is weak. Maybe it's strong in the original Heroes 4, but it's weak in Warlords. Regarding Death: "on one hand, it's weak, but an omnipresent devil; on the other hand, it's strong, but not fast enough like a dragon." I won't argue with that. But don't forget about the Champions of Darkness (and it doesn't matter if they are built in a castle or not). It's just too strong compared to a Champion. Moreover, its "Terror" magic, immunity to death magic, and regeneration make it a very serious enemy. Gargantua is in its place, i.e., with Nature. If you move it to Might, the Barbarians will have five level 4 creatures (Monster, Thunderbird, Sea Serpent, Berserk Bull + Gargantua?). Wouldn't that be too much for them? So, dear ZYbr, what do you think about the Dragon King?

"only a Griffonheart can wield the true blade"??? There is no such hero in the editor!

I've never played Disciples, but I had the idea, thinking about dragons of all kinds from the third game. Like, rusty, azure, crystalline ones. Or, for example, in Heroes of Might and Magic, the monsters of the so-called eighth level.

And the idea of specialization is good; it stems from the individuality of each hero and their uniqueness.

That's right, what's the point of having a tavern with such a wonderful selection if all the heroes are still the same? Choose a more interesting biography or a prettier portrait?
And it would be great to bring back the glorious tradition of the third game of choosing a starting hero. Fortunately, this was done in the fifth game. :)

It's bad IMHO that you can only hire a hero once a week:(

skeleton mage - lich) instead of them, a creature) apparently, liches and skeletons could become too similar)
ice, dragon, and snowman - there are enough elementals))
werewolf - good) but it wasn't in any part, except for some version of Heroes of Might and Magic V))
Zmey Gorynych - king of dragons)
witch - sorceress in the add-on)
scorpions, spider - there are already many animals and insects in Heroes IV)
angel of death - devil)))
advanced vampire - there are enough regular ones)
light rider - champions) the opposite of the dark ones, only without magic and magical skills)
snake - the same dragons)
dragonflies - mantises)
demigods - I remember them being in Heroes of Might and Magic V)) no need for them) the fire elemental looks like them)
skeleton archer - no upgrades) and we don't need more of them)
high monk - the same story as with the vampire)
no need to make it like in Heroes of Might and Magic V, where there are 3 types of snipers, 2 types of monks, etc.)

the rest is nonsense)))
