No, I don't think so. I think the graphics of the creatures are much better. At least the vampires in the third game are simply unbearable to look at, while in the fourth game they are amusing.

I don't honestly remember what the vampires look like in the fourth game, but I definitely remember what the dragons look like (which should be the most beautiful creatures) - they are fat cows with large behinds and wings (exaggerating). It's disgusting - they look better in the third game.
And in the third game, the vampires are normal, although I didn't pay much attention, but the overall impression is positive.

Funny... hehe)
I don't like these vampires. In costumes... Where did they get them? They all wear armor and cloaks, but they... they're rich....)
In the 5th game, at least they have armor, but it's still not ideal.
I like them in the 3rd game, even if they're beast-like. It suits them (the dead deserve it). IMHO. And their clothes are normal.
In the 2nd game, they're so-so... they look like Dracula, a bit gray-haired too, but they're well-wrapped in a cloak.

What's wrong with a costume? They're wealthy, they've been accumulating wealth for centuries. They have a big house with a fountain... it's a shame they didn't have enough money for plumbing... the green color is scary, you probably can't drink it, but otherwise... In my opinion, vampires should be strong and stylish.
Although their attack... it's strange.

I haven't played the campaign, to be honest, but I would definitely explore the artwork (assemblies rather than combinations). And most importantly, I would make the system of choosing 1 out of 2 buildings less frustrating; it would be at least 10 times more interesting, at least for me. Some buildings within the castles (like the magistrate = capitol). As for the story, I won't comment; I haven't played the campaign, so I can't evaluate it. But I would bring it closer to the Chronicle of the Ice Blade, as they seem to be connected to the fourth game.

What about dragons (which, in theory, should be the most beautiful creatures)? They look like fat cows with big butts and wings (I'm exaggerating).

But why? In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, there are 3 main types of dragons: Chaos Dragon, Magic Dragon, and Bone Dragon. Of these, the Magic Dragon is the most beautiful (compared to Heroes of Might and Magic III, where the Magic Dragon looks like some kind of weirdo or hypnotizer:D), the Chaos Dragon is about the same, and the Bone Dragon in Heroes of Might and Magic IV looks better, in my opinion. The upgraded Bone Dragon in Heroes of Might and Magic III looks like torn underwear:D

P.S. As has been said a thousand times, I'll say it 1001 times - everyone has different tastes:D

:D

To be honest, I meant "Chaos Dragon" when I said "cows," and I also don't like the magic dragons in Heroes 3, but the bone dragons are good in both games.
But the dragon example was just an example :). There are other creatures too.
In general, I wouldn't say that the graphics of the creatures have changed dramatically. They have changed, of course, but it's not a revolution (do they smell like roses? oranges? :) ).

My father saw the Champions of Dungeon in Heroes 4 and said, "What are those shelves?" Personally, I think they're fine, but they could definitely lose a hundred or so kilograms."

In my opinion, these are the most graceful CREATURES, and you have to spend a lot of resources to acquire them, and their STOMACH:D is normal:D.

Overall, I don't see many drawbacks in the fourth game. Although, I would improve the appearance of some units and the interior of the cities (castles), perhaps adding some trees or something, because right now it's just earth and buildings, and it feels a bit empty. Everything else is fine, I would leave it as it is.

In Heroes 4, there are bugs, shortcomings, and the balance suffers as a result. Some units could be made simpler; for example, take the harpy, which requires a Stronghold, or the ballista, pikeman, which require a building that is ready from the beginning of the game. Some heroes have incorrect skills; take hypnosis or berserk for Haven, if there is no resistance to Haven, it will stun 100%, and there are many other things as well.

....take, for example, Hypnotize or Berserk from Haven. If there's no resistance to Haven, it will work 100%...

Have you tried increasing magic resistance? Just the regular kind? This is for heroes; a cloak with resistance would work for the army units.
It worked for me, maybe not 100%, but the spells didn't trigger. Arandor can confirm; last year, we played a tournament game: he was Haven, and I was Sylvan. In the final, he tried very hard to cast various nasty spells on me, but it didn't work.

Well, there are many things I like about the fourth game, but I think it would be good if they added creature upgrades. But, to be fair, there is a certain charm to it, as it prevents wasting money on unnecessary upgrades. By the way, it wouldn't hurt to increase the castle income to at least two thousand, because sometimes I don't have enough money for the army, but otherwise, everything is fine))).

but it seems to me that they could add upgrades for the creatures.

IMO, this is unnecessary. What's the point of upgrades? Everyone will always choose the improved version. Look at Heroes of Might and Magic III. Although, in the last add-on for Heroes of Might and Magic V, this is implemented more effectively.

It would be great to add simultaneous turns! It would be amazing!:smile54:

P.S. and about the upgrades in the fourth game - don't mess around:smile38:
I think everything is good here - almost four times less building and creature selection. That's the whole point - to choose from two options exactly what you need for a specific game;)

...actually, there's a catch to it; no extra money is spent on their upgrades, by the way, it wouldn't hurt to increase the castle income to at least two thousand...

It's clear about the gold; even if the magistrate was built for free, I wouldn't spend a day for +500 on many maps.
And about the upgrade... Are you suggesting making the upgrade free?

I wouldn't touch the core idea because it's actually quite good; I would just improve the graphics. The graphics are a major drawback in this game, but otherwise, it's decent.
