After the patch, I was pleasantly surprised to see that if you cast Suggestion or Berserk on a single unit from the enemy army a couple of times in a row, the AI figures out to protect it with Antimagic...

I've even had instances where the AI casts spells on the fastest creatures during a battle, resulting in them taking almost two turns. So, that's a plus... Although I've only seen this happen twice... But it's a step in the right direction...

And Phantoms, Berserk, and Mind Control can also be quite effective in combat... However, they often end up simply attacking the units on which they themselves have cast Mind Control...

In Heroes of Might and Magic V, the AI is worse than in Heroes of Might and Magic III. That's for sure!

how many more times would they rework the third game???

In the fifth game, the AI is really good!:cool:

The AI is as dumb as a doorknob! The only thing that saves it is cheating!

Just TERRIBLE! The AI is just STUPID!!!

Nothing saves it at all!:D

Yeah, whatever, it's still garbage; there are no differences between the difficulty levels.

Dude, if you're playing against Inferno (Hero difficulty), press ~ and you'll see that the AI is building a "Temple." So, at the beginning of the game, it can ALREADY RECRUIT 7th-level monsters! Moral of the story: remove the AI's cheating!

I don't like having too many heroes either. But I liked the fourth game, where a hero could move around without an army (does Ilya Muromets really need a page?). And having many heroes running around is a tactic to keep things interesting; try to understand his point of view. He gathers resources and artifacts (although not immediately), probably following the principle of minimizing losses.

I have a question about leveling up a hero: each skill has almost 5 abilities, but there are only 3 slots. Do I need to choose, or can I add more abilities at a certain level?

Yes, the AI is as dumb as a doorknob! It constantly sends small detachments of its army with heroes, usually level 5-6! I gain experience, and it wastes its army!

And I'm still waiting for the moment when the enemy will finally start retreating, instead of fighting to the last...(((

oO Mine often flees the battlefield. But overall, the AI is the most problematic aspect of the game, which is a shame.

How is that possible??!!:eek: I haven't experienced that even once.

I'm actually surprised – what did you expect to see? Heroes is a complex and multifaceted game with many tactics that change depending on the situation. It's physically almost impossible to create a truly brilliant AI, especially considering that Nival doesn't have as much money as, say, EA Games.

I was wondering who would do a better job, EA or Nival? In my opinion, EA... Of course, I'm not a fan of them, but they make very high-quality games.
