The fourth installment of the series is excellent, the third is quite decent, but the 2D graphics aren't very appealing, and the hero doesn't participate in battles.
What kind of hero is it if they can't even respond to some creature, like in the fourth game?

And what kind of hero is it that gets killed, but the army remains?:)
Also, what kind of hero can be resurrected in any town, regardless of whether there's a guild of mages or anything magical there?:D

The fourth installment of Heroes of Might and Magic is the best, the third one is decent, but the 2D graphics aren't great, and the hero doesn't participate in battles.

What's the point of leveling up tactics if the hero gets killed, and all the bonuses go to waste?

:D :) What does "magical" mean.
In the fourth game, everything is magical, and if a hero is killed, it means the tactics were poor.

In the fourth game, everything is magical, and if a hero is killed, it means the tactic was bad.

It's not a bad tactic; it's a bad idea to send a hero onto the battlefield. :)
I wonder, don't the heroes get tired of being killed all the time?

So, you shouldn't go near the impaler.
You need to use various defensive spells
and have a larger army.

So, there's no need to attack head-on.

But if it's just the beginning of the game and you don't have the necessary skills or a decent guild, then you have to choose heroes who are only strong, like a Barbarian:( Or an Archer:(

Why? I can easily complete the game with a Druid, as well as a Mage, but I hate Barbarians because they don't have magic:mad:
P.S. And in general, I completed the campaign with a Druid.

Why? I play Druid and Mage well, but I don't like Barbarians because they don't have magic:mad:
P.S. And I actually completed the campaign with the Druid.

I agree, the Druid is the best, at least among the heroes I've played...

Exactly. If the Druid is the best, does that mean the others are terrible?:) It should be possible to play with EVERY hero without any inconvenience.
For example, the Rogue is completely unsuitable for combat,
the Sorcerer only has one spell (by the way, Chaos magic should deal direct damage, not all sorts of cat reactions and bloodlust) of Chaos, and even then, not always when needed (for example, Sparks only work at melee range, which is useless!).

And what about resurrecting heroes – is that done without magic now? Is it like using a steel mill:D :D :D?

What do they resurrect without magic? It's like using a steel mill:D :D :D.

Nope, in Heroes, it's just cloning!
And when they clone, they upload the mind, and everything is ready for battle.

Anyway, the 4th installment won't be more popular than the 3rd, unless new heroes come along, maybe the 5th or even the 6th, who knows...

I agree that the third installment will be more popular than the fourth, but we'll see. As for the fifth game, we'll have to wait and see when the finished version is released. Judging by some screenshots, especially those showing sieges, there's only one gate and nothing else visible; this is from the beta version. However, based on the official gameplay videos with commentary, it should be a masterpiece in this series of games.

I also think so, but until the release, it's hard to say what the fifth game will be like.

Remember the report on Video Mania... I think it was in January.
They assured us that Heroes 5 was created to unite fans of 3 and 4, and I completely agree with that!
Fans of 3 and 4, unite!!!!!!!!!!

A joke (remake):
- What is friendship between Heroes players?
(answer "Radio NMM") - It's when fans of versions 1, 2, 3, and 4 get together, become friends, and together... go to kick the butts of Heroes 5 fans! :D
