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

I support both SoulDrinker and Dmitriy767!

of course, Heroes 3 is much better! nothing can compare to it!:smile44:

One should always respect what came first. For example, even when it comes to horror movies, in my opinion, I went to the premiere of the movie *****, and it was just nonsense, the same old stuff. The old horror movies are much better, I repeat, IMHO!

The other day, just before the New Year, I found a licensed copy of Heroes, including the third installment...
The feeling was overwhelming... even though the fifth game boasts its graphics, balance is still more important... it's not that the fifth game is more unstable... BUT everyone already knows the third game inside and out...

A wonderful game for all time! ))

P.S.: I still haven't gotten around to replaying the campaign... :rolleyes:

Yes, the third game is a classic, and I agree with Hacker's opinion.

Heroes of Might and Magic III is a classic. You can't forget or stop loving it. As for Heroes of Might and Magic V, I don't like them:smile18:

I was thinking... if in Heroes 3 there were two upgrade paths (improvements) in different directions for each creature, like, for example, the Griffin, which doesn't have any special properties, could be upgraded to a Royal Griffin, which would then retaliate against all attacks, or to a Battle Griffin in armor, which would therefore have 1-2 more attack and defense than the Royal Griffin. On one hand, this would be awesome!!! Depending on the enemy, you could upgrade your Griffins to the necessary type, but on the other hand, how would you deal with mixing them... that is, you could have both types of upgraded Griffins in your army, "oh well..." - I thought.
Then I started thinking... and... my head is about to explode! :eek:
Because then you would have to remember the properties of ALL units! :smile35:
Roughly speaking, the un-upgraded units have no properties, but the upgraded ones have twice as many! And then you attack an enemy, and you don't know what upgrade level their creatures have (I'm talking about the moment when you're about to attack).
When you only have 1 upgrade path, you know your own strength and the enemy's strength, you can assess the risk and take it, but when there are 2 and you have to choose!!! Kill me - I can't handle it! Don't you think about it before attacking an enemy and assess the strength of both sides? I do... and I would have to remember 8 * 7 * 2 = 112 (not counting the confused and freely roaming ones). 112 - that's so many, I had to count it on a calculator))) I'll definitely explode if I have to remember all of that... :confused: And risk every time I attack an enemy?! NO! :mad:
Okay, I'm done now)))
So it's better to have less and simpler than many, stupid, and ugly!
Heroes 3 rules!!! :smile01:

In my opinion, Heroes of Might and Magic V is also a great game, especially compared to Heroes of Might and Magic IV (and forgive me, fans of Heroes of Might and Magic IV), but Heroes of Might and Magic IV is the worst game in the entire Heroes series!!!

The fifth game is pleasing to the eye, while the third game is pleasing to the soul. I play the fifth game very rarely, and it gets boring quickly, but the third game... What can I say? You click on heroes.exe and immerse yourself in an unknown, magical world. Sometimes, you think, "I'll just play a little more, and then I'll go have lunch (or go to the store, or clean the apartment)," and suddenly it's evening. My wife, I think, is already jealous of my heroes. I don't have this with any other game. Heroes III - love at first sight and for life.

Heroes 5 doesn't even come close to Heroes 3! Yes, Heroes 5 introduces some variety, but that's all! I personally only played 2 games with my brother. After that, I deleted it!

I didn't even manage to play one game:D

And I'm finally starting to play through the first campaign in Heroes of Might and Magic V... Let's see how it goes. But Heroes of Might and Magic III is a timeless classic for me.

I think that Heroes 3 is timeless.)))
A lot of people play it, including me.)))
If you choose other games, you are making a big mistake.)))
Heroes 3 is a well-polished game and it's very interesting to play.)))

Not only will I, but I already am! These were the first Heroes games I ever had, and I don't plan on forgetting them.

Of course, I will. It's interesting to play Heroes 4 and 5 – a different engine, interesting and fresh ideas, but that's not enough. Heroes 3: it's the standard and will outlive all the other installments.
