Let me explain why. Firstly, I personally don't understand the complaints about the graphics. Guys, it depends on what you compare it to. Compared to the third and fifth games, I like it more!!! :) It's an optimal option: it's neither too primitive nor too exaggerated. Secondly, the control panel. In the fourth game, it's very convenient, unlike the third. Everything is provided for. Thirdly, and most importantly, which can be expanded into many more positive points. This is evolution. Everything is very well systematized!!! Starting from the most global aspects - races and castles, continuing with hero development, and so on. This is evolution. It happened peacefully, through the efforts of those who conceived it. And the revolution is

The fourth game does have its merits, but it's not loved by those who seriously played the third game before its release. Everyone expected the fourth game to be a continuation of the iconic third game, but that didn't happen, so don't criticize it too harshly. The fourth game has a reason to exist.
I disagree... with the first part of the post... :D
I know many people (and I myself, for example) who played both the third and fourth games, you could say simultaneously...
And I am very saddened that so many good things from the fourth game were lost, not making it into the fifth game....
In my opinion, the fifth game should

The fourth installment is truly a treasure trove of various good ideas. It's a pity that the developers of the fifth game ignored most of them. If you approach the fourth game with an objective point of view, you have to say: "There is much more good than bad." It all comes down to implementation and approach.

A perfectly normal part, I have no complaints. And the music there is really good.

It reminds me of the good old part two... :) Also, the city view is better designed in this game: if you're standing on volcanic terrain, the screen will show lava. It reflects the environment. In part 3, it looked quite funny. A tall tower stands in the middle of ruins and magma. You click on it, and suddenly there's snow all around:D

Well, what can I say, the balance wasn't fully finalized... that's why everything fell apart... it's a shame...

Yes, the only problem is the balance. But on the other hand, why not use the ideas from the fourth game when developing subsequent games in the series? Although, it seems they are at least promising to bring back caravans, which will make things easier.

Besides good graphics and many other global changes, the developers endowed the fourth installment with a huge variety of bugs, which made the gameplay much easier! :D :D :D

Yes, the developers definitely went overboard with that. But, on the other hand, there are just as many bugs in the fifth installment. And at least the fourth game was a continuation of the series.

For example, if you don't want to play, go to jail - the game will kick you out:)
Want immortality? Take an elixir, and only monsters will be able to kill your hero:):):)

Yes, these kinds of bugs ruined the overall impression. But, on the other hand, the game was still interesting to play. There was no need to worry about visiting all the windmills or all the outer dwellings within a week. It was a more enjoyable game. You only needed to think about battles, like a true hero. And there was no need to hire a dozen heroes just for running around.

Absolutely true... The ability to mark mills and other structures with a flag in Heroes of Might and Magic V could have been kept... Caravans were also a good feature... And there were many different types of magic...

What a laugh! I just found out that this is a well-known bug – when you go straight from the dungeon to Windows. And I thought it was just my disk that was faulty. There was even a scenario where you had to free a hero from the dungeon of a conquered castle. But it seems no one ever freed him...:rolleyes:
