Heroes of Might and Magic V cannot be called a remake of Heroes of Might and Magic III. It is similar in general, but if you look closely, you can notice many unique features that were not present in the third installment. And I wouldn't call Heroes of Might and Magic IV a strategy game.

Heroes of Might and Magic 5 cannot be called a remake of Heroes of Might and Magic 3. It is similar in general, but if you look closely, you can notice many unique features that were not in the third game. And I wouldn't call Heroes of Might and Magic 4 a strategy game.
However, the fifth game also borrows some elements from the fourth. For example, the skill development system, where secondary skills branch out from one main skill.

I agree about the fourth game. But many things from the third game were borrowed for the fifth. Even though Heroes of Might and Magic 5 is unique, I would say it is a revolutionary game in the Heroes of Might and Magic series.

The fifth installment isn't that revolutionary. It's more of a natural progression. They took the best elements from all the previous games, including the fourth one.

I don't completely agree with you; the graphics alone are worth mentioning, and the creatures are a whole different matter.

The graphics are indeed good. And the creatures – this idea has been on people's minds for a long time; it was partially implemented in Heroes of Might and Magic III.

I can't bring myself to call Heroes of Might and Magic IV a strategy game.
But I can:p!

The fifth installment could have borrowed a few more things from the fourth. Then I would have liked the game even more. But even as it is, it's a great game.

I agree (that it's great), but different creators mean a different game.

It's not that different. You can see the roots, both from the third and the fourth game. Perhaps NWC wouldn't have been able to create the fifth game.

Anyone could have done it. Especially with everything already prepared.

Well, I wouldn't say that. The Nival Interactive team put in a lot of effort while working on the fifth installment. They even delayed the release just to finish it properly. And they didn't delay it for too long!

They expected nothing surprising, and they put in the effort. If they hadn't, they would have failed.

And here, NWC seemed to be working hard on the fourth installment, but they still didn't finish it. The fourth game should have been released two years earlier; then it would have been well-received. But the fifth game came out at just the right time.

In my opinion, the fourth installment simply had too many new features, which is why the game didn't catch on... Plus, I personally didn't like the graphics and color scheme of the game.
