Posts from Do you still play Heroes of Might and Magic III after the release of Heroes of Might and Magic V?

It will definitely be difficult to show.
I can describe a couple of points:
1. The races are very strongly divided in terms of development... as a result, there is a greater dependence of the army on the hero and vice versa... for example, the point of making a "non-native" hero strong is lost.
2. More complex calculations of magical action - slightly off-putting.
3. ATB scale - a great idea, but not for everyone (see point 2)
P.S. In general, it seems to me that the balance in the 5th game depends more on luck than on skill, although I haven't played it much yet, so I might change my opinion :)

I think a lot depends on skill here. Play more, and you might like it.

Well, I'm planning to get back to Heroes 5 soon... especially online... I already have one person who I promised to play with, so maybe you can be my second opponent... ;)
P.S. But I'll probably stop playing Heroes 3 only when I stop using the computer altogether (addiction) :)

Why isn't it captivating? Many people would disagree with you. I'm one of them. I found it captivating. And if a game is captivating and has good graphics, is that a bad thing? I like it.

....And in general, after 10 turns in Heroes 5, you just want to destroy everything :) It gets boring very quickly - there's no action, it's been completely removed (can you really capture 3 castles in 3 days in the 5th part? - unlikely). In the 3rd Heroes, everything is simple and brilliant, and it's fast :)

It will definitely be difficult to show. :)

Well, because the heroes in HoMM 5 are the same as in HoMM 3, only much worse.

I play the 5th game, but I don't forget the 3rd, and I think about how to add the best features from the 4th game to the 5th game. In the next game, they should combine all the best features from the entire series (the graphics of the 5th game and the unpredictability of the 1st game).

For me, the action in turn-based strategy games (specifically in Heroes 2 and 3) is the use of spells like Portal to Town, Dimension Door, Fly, Walk on Water, View Air, View Earth, and a few others. That is, spells without which it is almost impossible to play. Well, the biggest action is, of course, the Dimension Door spell. With it, you can run around the entire map, capturing Castles – that's what makes Heroes 3 and 2 such great games. In them, you can REALLY play! (but that's just one plus, and there are so many more in these great games)
In the 5th part, you can't really "play." Moreover, the game can end abruptly for no reason. For example, when some elf comes along and has 4 creatures of your race that are sworn enemies. This is what really surprises me. Or what is this Dark Elf Castle, or whatever it's called? It has the strongest creatures, it's obvious. At least, it did before the expansions. I don't know anything about the Dwarf and Orc races. Maybe something has changed. There is no desire to play such a boring game. In the 4th part, there was a lot of new stuff, but most people didn't like it. And in the 5th part, it's all the same as in the 3rd, only worse (except for the graphics), and since Heroes 3 is a cult game, people liked Heroes 5 more than Heroes 4.

PaXaRb, I support you in everything! I think the same! Besides the graphics and the "Tribes of the East" expansion, there's nothing else good! I still play Heroes 3 because it's more interesting, even though the graphics are inferior, but the cities are very beautiful, and the battles are at a high level! And I've been playing Heroes 3 for 7 years now, and I know that there's nothing better than this game yet. It's a pity that the company went bankrupt... We can only guess what they would have done if the company hadn't gone bankrupt... HEROES 3! ROCKS!
