Posts from What were your expectations for Heroes 4?

Actually, I'm not even sure if the balance in the third game is that bad. There were even more mods for it than for the fourth, as far as I remember. I recently read posts on the forum of players of the fifth game, and there was an opinion that there will always be some "imba" race (I'm not very good with the terminology, but I think it means the strongest race) at the start. They were talking about the extremely fast start for Orcs and Necropolis. Maybe it's true, I don't know. In the original third game, it seems to me that the fastest start was for Sir Mullich from the Castle and Solmyr from the Tower.

Hmm... I don't understand why there are so many inappropriate responses. It feels like everyone is experiencing some kind of disappointment. "Oh, I was expecting better graphics, and I didn't like 3DO, and everything is so bad."
If you don't like it, why play it? And why create such an inappropriate topic... By the way, why isn't there an option like "I liked everything, the game is cool"?

I almost liked everything; the game is really cool, but the catch is that people post the downsides of the game in this thread. Every game has its downsides.

I don't understand why they need to be created... it just creates unnecessary negativity. If some "drawbacks" of the game bother you, fix them, create new patches to make everything work properly.

Didn't expect anything. I played the fourth installment first, and only then the third. The fourth one is better. But it seems to me that the developers went too far; in the early levels, the hero is too weak, and in the later levels, he can single-handedly take out an entire battalion.

well, you still need to reach the last level; in regular battles, levels 10-20 are usually achieved, which is good for buffing, and in the early stages, you don't need to fight any strong opponents.

didn't expect much, although I started playing with the third installment
but I wasn't disappointed

at the beginning, the hero is too weak, and at the end, he can single-handedly defeat an entire battalion.

you can reach the maximum levels on large maps and, of course, in campaigns
and I wouldn't say that the hero is that weak at the beginning
for example, even low-level heroes can gradually defeat armies by running away from them into the castle :D
I recently figured this out :lol: - now I often use this strategy at the beginning
{...while the army accumulates in the castle...}

Here is my opinion about the game: I got really into it because of the cool superhero-like heroes. But the graphics are terrible, and I don't like any of the creatures. There are some good ideas, for example, the caravans, which were successfully reworked and used in the add-ons for the 5th installment. It's convenient. You don't have to run around to every dwelling every week...
I can't think of any other important advantages right now.

I didn't expect anything, but I got a game that I can play endlessly. I was drawn to the hero's independence; you can play the game almost like an RPG (and I'm generally an RPG person). Many consider this a drawback. Caravans, independent army movement, I've always loved the music (except perhaps the wailing in the Chaos and Necropolis castles), and I absolutely adore the autosave system (there's nothing like it anywhere else). In general, I love the game in all its forms. Heroes 3 didn't have that much freedom, but it had many other advantages, such as upgrading buildings and creatures. In short, I could list the pros and cons for a long time, and I could complain about this topic for a long time. :)
It's just a shame that the third and fourth games will never be combined in the way I want... I was already disappointed with the fifth, and I simply don't believe in the sixth.

I expected more people to play it, especially online.
