P.s. I also liked the way heroes gain new ranks, for example, a Dark Priest gets a vampire attack:)

My opinion about the fourth game is the same as most fans of the third game. Yes, it's convenient to have the hero move around the battlefield so that the units can fight without the hero and the hero can fight without the units, but that's not what makes it a "Heroes" game! It's something else entirely.

That "something else" is HEROES V.
There is no continuation of the Heroes series.
There are no familiar characters.
There are no familiar creatures, i.e., there are, but they are completely different.
And so on.
P.S. There is no Kenegham.

Let the fans of Heroes 3 criticize Heroes 4, but still, Heroes 4 is REALLY COOL. The fact that the Hero himself participates in the battle speaks volumes.

They will become familiar to us after the release!! I hope so. But as for now, I completely agree with you.

In my opinion, something else is exactly the Fourth installment – this has been discussed hundreds of times!

Fourth – it’s also a new world, with different creatures and races. I think the editor in the Fourth installment is the best – it offers a lot of possibilities.
Fifth – it’s something different compared to the Fourth: they removed the hero from the battle, and the creatures resemble those from the Third...
Besides, no Heroes game had such a detailed backstory, and the developers are working on it thoroughly.

Fourth — also a new world, different creatures, different races. The only thing I consider "rule" (great) in Fourth is the editor — that's where you can really let loose.
Fifth is something else compared to Fourth: they removed the hero from combat, the creatures look like creatures from Third...
Moreover, none of the Heroes games had a backstory, but the Nival people are carefully developing one.
But there was a plot there, the same characters (from HeroesIII), and here :confused: :confused: :confused:
Creatures look like they're from 3rd :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Ha-ha and once more ha :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
In 3rd, was the gargoyle a nightstand?:rolleyes:
In 3rd, was the angel female? :rolleyes:
In 3rd, was there a Castle-Dungeon like the one in Fifth?:rolleyes:
In 3rd, was the phoenix a mix of a lizard and a bird?:rolleyes:
In 3rd, were there such terrible elementals?:rolleyes:
etc :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
There was no backstory in Heroes I, II, III, IV?
What do you mean? There is one world. All the heroes are the same. Biography. Demo. Campaigns. Everything was clear in that

Yes, especially since the same world was in both Thirds and Fourths :). Also, NWC and 3DO came up with a perfect setup: the world began to collapse (for what reason, I wonder?), and everyone escaped by fleeing shamefully. And after that, they created SUCH a mess that the world collapsed immediately, and the Ubisoft-prophets arrived and cooked up a new world.
In Thirds, is the hydra a sausage like in IV?
In Thirds, is the minotaur a naked bull like in IV?
In Thirds, are the nagas Japanese with blades?

Compare the heroes: take Ajit (Chaos), for example. In Thirds he was a lord, but in Fourths—a thief?! Ivor is a monk, there he's a priest (lower status). How can anyone even perceive same Fourths as a continuation of the series.
BUT: If Fourths had been released under a different name, it would have had more success, IMHO.

Yes, especially since the same world was used in Heroes III and Heroes IV. And NWC and 3DO came up with the perfect plot: the world began to crumble (what kind of nonsense is that?), and everyone was saved by fleeing in disgrace. And after that, they created SOMETHING that caused the world to immediately collapse, and the prophet-UBISOFT arrived and created a new world.
In Heroes III, is the Hydra a sausage like in Heroes IV?
In Heroes III, is the Minotaur a naked brute like in Heroes IV?
In Heroes III, are the Nagas Japanese with swords?

Compare the heroes: take Ajit (a Chaos hero), for example. In Heroes III, he was a lord, but in Heroes IV, he's a thief?! Ivor is a monk, and in Heroes IV, he's a priest (a lower status). And how can Heroes IV be considered a continuation of the series?
BUT: If Heroes IV had been released under a different name, it would have been more successful, IMHO.
Why did the world begin to crumble?
Simply because Gelu obtained Armageddon's Blade.
And he was going to take the Ice Blade, but the Ancients knew that if the blades were combined, the world would be destroyed. So they sent Tarnum
to stop Gelu. He stopped him and captured the city where the Ice Blade was located, but the blade had already been stolen by Kilgor's wife and given to Kilgor. THEN the end of the world occurred, but portals to other worlds remained (probably those portals that needed to be activated in Might and Magic VII).
Ajit was a lord of the Underworld:mad:, and after the end of the world, he started accumulating wealth, which is why he became a thief:). And when he steals enough, he will become a lord of the Underworld again. And the second reason is that he is in the Castle of Chaos, and they don't create anything, they destroy. And if he were a lord, he would have to maintain order, which is a different race.
And I wrote about the monsters because you claimed that they are identical (in Heroes III and Heroes V):mad:.
And I didn't say that the monsters in Heroes III and Heroes IV are similar:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:. The Minotaur in Heroes IV is better than in Heroes V:cool:. The Hydra is not a sausage in Heroes IV, but in Heroes V:rolleyes: :rolleyes:.
The Naga is normal!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I didn't claim they were similar.
So, in the fourth game, the Hydra has six sausages:)
And in general, mixing factions is not a good thing. We need to understand that everyone crammed into one portal, and then everything got mixed up, like "you enter the portal with a shotgun, and you come out with a leg:) "? Swamps + Dungeon + Inferno = CHAOS? Why didn't they do the same with Haven or Humans?

Horn, no offense, but the second part looks like blatant advertising for Warlords of the West and Titans.
For example, I don't like either of them. I prefer the classic Heroes and find them more appealing. And, in my opinion, they have better balance than Warlords of the West and Titans. IMHO.

Swamp + Dungeon + Inferno = CHAOS? Why didn't they mess with Order or Humans instead?
It's very simple. Here's a brief historical overview.
Humans - they are humans everywhere. They could only be what they are.
Order - completely transitioned from the Tower. If you played the campaigns, you saw Gavin Magnus and Solmyr in action – the main characters from the Tower in the third game. So, they simply preserved those who were loyal to them.
Chaos. And they all perished.
Tatatia became slaves to Erathia.
The K'hara were destroyed during the time after the War of the Necromancers.
Dungeon - lost the war against Erathia.
As such, these factions no longer exist. They had their time. Something new had to be born. And Chaos became that.

Ivor - monk, there - priest
Specialization in elves. Both in the third and fourth games, he's a ranger.
Night
In the third game, is the minotaur a naked bull-man like in the fourth?
We also have the Might and Magic series. In the dungeons of Nighon, there were indeed such naked bull-men, but I wouldn't call them weak monsters. They are the foundation of the army, both in the third and fourth games.

Sorry, I didn't mean that one.

We also have the Might and Magic series games. In the dungeons of Nighon, there were exactly those naked beefcakes, but it's hard to call them weak monsters. The core of the army in both 3 and 4.

But why aren't they naked in Three, and you could hardly call them beefcakes.

But hydras still look like sliced sausages. You can't even call them formidable:)
