Posts from What is your opinion about Heroes IV?

At first, I thought that the fourth game had individuality in the form of advanced classes, but what about the third? And then, after a glass of beer :D, it dawned on me what individuality means in the third game. And, in my opinion, this specialization is nowhere near as good as the advanced class system.

By the way, the battlefield in Heroes 4 is generally the best. Neither 5 nor 3, and certainly not any other part, can boast such large dimensions. The cramped, square arena is another big drawback of the fifth installment for me. In general, I believe that the larger the battlefield, the better, as it provides more room for maneuvering.

You shouldn't criticize the hero specializations in the third game so much. If you saw Shakti (if anyone has forgotten, she's a specialist in Trogols) with three Trogol dwellings near the castle... :smile04: Kill everything!

...I won't even mention Kirra with her enhanced logistics, which is banned everywhere. And the unstoppable Tazar with his specialization in defense doesn't need to be introduced...

But calculating the Line of Sight, direction of attack, etc. is extremely inconvenient. The isometric view does get in the way.

What if there are no dwellings? :rolleyes:

I remember that, I used to like them in Price of Loyalty :D.

I'm not judging by the strength of the bonus :) But by the system itself, its versatility and mobility. In the third game, everything is linear in this regard :( it's understandable, that's what specialization is called. But still, the advanced skills system on large maps (in terms of the amount of available experience) allows, for example, to use a good ninja-assassin tactic. In the first week, a ninja with a bow is the best, and in the final, that same ninja, with successful development, already has a +3 speed bonus. Or on the recent Iron mode :) crossbreeding with Order really helps in the rush, giving you the ability to summon 3 Phoenixes instead of 2. Look at that spot... an entire map is "built" around the advanced Lord Commander class. The advanced class system itself allows you to "play" with these classes, combine them, and that's where the interest lies.

I actually like it. You stand in a slightly unfavorable position, and you're done for. It adds randomness to the game. And it's not as annoying as a wrong click. It brings it closer to reality, well, not in the full sense of the word :D

How do I feel about it? Like it's a good RPG (I love creating maps like this in the fourth game...). I'll keep repeating that the strategy is terrible compared to the third game.

It's clear that this person didn't read the previous discussion and doesn't even understand the game.

No, I haven't, of course. I played it once, and that's it.
I played it enough to compare the third and fourth games.

But reading 40 pages of the same thing seems unnecessary.

If you played enough, you would understand that the consistency in the fourth game is much higher than in the third.

There's just too much progress between levels 3 and 4.

Any expansion needs changes. And they should always be beneficial. It's just that there's too much progress between the 3rd and 4th games. It could have been done more gradually: in the 4th game, allow players to take two heroes, in the 5th – as many as they want, and in the 6th, release the heroes onto the battlefield. Then everyone would have applauded.

No upgrades – a step backward ;)

in order to utilize some special feature of a creature, which isn't always necessary, I have to build something, spend money, bring creatures to the town, and even pay there.

believe me, there are plenty of places to spend resources even without upgrades, and it forces the player to think in a more interesting way.
