I didn't even have that question in my head; of course, I'll play the third game. I won't forget them for anything, but at least until I buy all five heroes.

I haven't been around for about a month, and during that time, I studied the fifth installment very thoroughly. I give it a 4 out of 5 (this is just my opinion). The graphics are good, and the difficulty is also decent. The only thing I didn't like was the camera movement. But overall, I enjoyed the fifth game, and I think it's a worthy sequel to the third! (Maybe because I haven't seen anything better). Anyway, as they say on the forum, "Good job!"

The fifth installment definitely deserves recognition as a continuation of the third game. However, the maps in the fifth game are small, while in the third game, they seem to go on forever... :)

What did you expect? The old world burned down – that’s why there are only about 20 maps left from it:D

I don't like HoMM 5 because of its over//complicated graphics and other reasons. I have both the 3rd and 5th parts installed. Just thinking about how long it takes to load the 5th one gives me same-shivers, so I just click my mouse on the 3rd part.
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 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:):):):):):):)

The Dungeon in Heroes of Might and Magic V is frustrating! The camera has so many glitches! It’s good that Heroes of Might and Magic III is 2D!

You just need a more powerful computer; yes, it loads slowly on a weak computer, but mainly you need a good processor and RAM for the game; a video card isn't that important. I have a standard computer, and everything runs smoothly on maximum graphics: P4 D805 (dual-core), 1024 DDR2 677, and only 128 Geforce 7300, and even that is a reduced version. So, guys, buy decent computers, because part 5 is worth it!

The interface even put me off when I first launched Heroes of Might and Magic V; it seemed a bit childish... I don't know... not serious enough. But things are much better with the third game!

I prefer the third game because it has no lags or glitches! ;)
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... :(

Yes, after playing WoG, I often find myself wanting to go back to it in Armageddon's Blade:(

The absence of this button is almost the only drawback of the game!

If they added a "Hero who fights in battles" from Heroes of Might and Magic IV, I would delete all my other games and play THIS one!!!! :)

That’s another option! But it’s fine as is too!
