Will you still play HoMM3 after HoMM5 is released?

My buddies and I love playing the 3rd one "hot seat" style. And imagine how long you'd have to wait for loading and reloading if you played the 5th one. Besides, everything is more abstract and simpler in the 3rd part.
Generally, we love to get creative with hot seat. We take a large map (specifically Apocalypse), edit them on equal terms (the opponent and we have equal chances + all artifacts), divide into teams, and go for it. Right now we've set creature growth only for level 7 (i.e., weekly growth of about 23 creatures) — and let me tell you, it becomes a total bloodbath...
With this kind of gameplay, we don't even think about the 5th part...
I don't like HoMM 5 because of its elaborate graphics and other reasons. I have parts 2 and 5 of the 3rd game installed. Just thinking about how long it would take to load the 5th game makes me shudder, and I click the mouse on the 3rd part.
My friends and I like to play the 3rd game in hot-seat mode. And imagine how long you have to wait for loading and reloading if you play the 5th game. Besides, everything is more abstract and simpler in the 3rd part.
In general, we like to mess around in hot-seat mode. We take a large map (in particular, Apocalypse), edit them to create equal conditions (the opponent and we have equal chances + all artifacts), divide them into teams, and let's go. Now we have set the creature growth to only level 7 (i.e., weekly growth of about 23 creatures) - and I tell you, it turns into a real mess...
With this kind of game, we don't even remember the 5th part...
By the way, I have the same opinion - turn-based strategy shouldn't take so long to load!:mad:
And I, myself, played the 5th game a little, and then returned to the 3rd!

Yes, and the map editor of the 5th game, in terms of simplicity and convenience, is NOTHING compared to the map editor of the 3rd game!:D

What did you expect? The old world has burned down - so there are only about 20 maps left:D
What about the 4th game?:eek: There wasn't any Armageddon there, and there were a LOT of maps!:cool:

I meant not the NUMBER of all maps, but the SIZE of ONE map in Heroes of Might and Magic III is quite large, while in Heroes of Might and Magic V you can see the "enemy's heel" on the first day:):):):):):):)

My friends and I like to play part 3 in "hot seat" mode. And imagine how long we'd have to wait for loading and reloading if we played part 5. Besides, everything is more abstract and simpler in part 3.

It's a pity that the third Heroes game doesn't have a button to buy all creatures at once, like in the fourth game!
This button is only available in WoG, which is a shame... :(

It's a pity that the button to buy all creatures at once wasn't implemented in Heroes III, like in Heroes IV!
This button is only available in WoG, which is a shame...:(
The lack of this button is almost the only drawback of the game!
