Every installment of Heroes has its flaws (as does any other game). For Heroes 4, these include hero imbalance (I emphasize imbalance, not just their presence on the battlefield), the lack of hero specialization (the initial individuality is lost, and as a result, favorite heroes and their stories become less important, which diminishes the spirit of the heroes), and the Castle of the Dead (demons and undead have different ideologies, although their goals may be the same). There are, of course, other features that, in my opinion, spoil the game, but they are not as significant. But despite all this, Heroes 4 is still Heroes, and I consider it worthy and interesting, and I can only feel sorry for the classic fans of Heroes 3. Because of their own stubbornness, they are missing out on a lot of enjoyment from a good game!

Exactly, finally, an accurate and fair opinion about Heroes 4 has been expressed, and all I've heard everywhere are complaints!:mad:
and regarding the enjoyment – that's true! I myself played Heroes 4 and all its add-ons and remained satisfied!;)

I myself played the fourth installment and all its expansions and was satisfied. Moreover, the graphics are five points better compared to the third game. And the buildings are more interesting. In a way, it's also simpler – just move around.

There is an imbalance between the heroes, and it cannot be avoided... But there are good aspects everywhere! Here, each race is unique and has its own style of warfare, unlike other games in the series!

It's difficult to write a truly interesting sequel to the third game, and as someone rightly said, only the person who wrote the third game can do it, or those who first fully understand the third game and then write everything from scratch, following the strict rules of the third game... I'm not very sure that such people can be found.
If we're talking about the scenario, then Erathia has already been completely exhausted, although there is still one continent left - Carigor. And Heroes 5 doesn't have the old scenario because John Van Caneghem sued them for using his works.

John Van Caneghem sued them for using his works.

He was upset because Ubisoft insisted on his non-participation in the project.

"Ubi insisted on his non-participation in the project" - this is just one of the reasons why I don't like them...

Of course, they insisted, adding comments like "you've already bankrupted one publisher - we don't want to be next"... 8))

It's unclear why they fired him...
After all, the storyline in the fourth game was very good, and I played through the campaigns several times, especially as Goldot, the half-dead hero!
If they had let him write the scenarios, everything would have been fine!:D

That makes sense. In all the Might and Magic and Heroes of Might and Magic series, I liked the storyline the most. They could have kept the original author on board (even if only part-time)...

Well, it seems to me that he, as an author, lost some of his spark towards the end.

It would be great to "re-recruit" him to write a scenario for Heroes V!!!
Then the plot would be something like this...:cool:
Half-Life would be jealous!;)

It would have been nice if they had kept him, but Ubisoft said he refused, saying he was starting over, although his scenarios were good. Of course, it's a pity about Emilia; they could have healed her, and it's a pity about Magnus; why did they put those bugs in his head? But apparently, he asked for too much money.

It would have been good if they had kept him, but Ubisoft said that he refused himself, supposedly he had a relapse, although his scenarios were good. Of course, it's a pity for Emilia; they could have healed her, and I feel sorry for Magnus; why did they put cockroaches in his head? But apparently, he asked for too much money.

They could have given him a little more money, and the game would have been even better then...:rolleyes:
But as it is, Ubisoft is greedy and LOL, for driving away a talented person...:mad:

Maybe because of my answer, I'll now be persecuted by all the forum members, but I'm going to state my opinion! Heroes OF Might And Magic IV is BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!

Most people started their introduction with the III part, and that's why the innovations of IV didn't appeal to them! Well, I don't mind other opinions!
But you shouldn't express yourself negatively in plain text, pointing out the differences between III and IV!!! this transition is a Revolution (with a capital "R" :cool: ) )
And for some reason, the differences are judged as negatives! Now remember which
Heroes you played for the first time!
Anyway! Who did I offend? Write back!:cool:

Something is wrong here with the voting! :confused: I can't find it!
I'm just a newbie here, haven't had time to scout everything out yet!
Tell me where I need to click to make it:COOL, BEST and so on.! :cool:
HMM4 The Gathering Storm : BEST!:cool:
