Ah, I wish the expansion would come out sooner! I really want to see the gnome faction! I hope it won't be worse than the other factions! Although it's hard to mess up gnomes. By the way, does anyone know when the expansion will be released?
Also, regarding maps - there's an article on mapmaking in the November issue of Igromania. I haven't read it in detail yet, but it seems to be very well written.

The add-on will be released on November 14th, it seems.

2 goodman There is one answer to all your complaints... what version do you have??? If it's 1.0, you should look for patches up to 1.4 and the add-on... most of what you listed has already been implemented there.

Goodman, the AI is okay, even if it's a bit dumb, but it offers a real challenge: I play on maps with many opponents, and it's terrifying to watch – the AI attacks the nearest enemies incredibly quickly, and by the time you're ready for a real war, it already controls half the castles on the map.
The maps are very small – there's not much room to maneuver! In the fourth game, you had to search all over the map and explore half the hidden areas before finding an opponent, and there were cities everywhere – I've seen up to 18, but here, there's a player sitting right behind the next hill! :(

I completely agree, but with their graphics, you know how long you'd wait for a turn? On a huge map the computer already moves slowly, and you definitely don't need many castles—can you barely guard your own? And it's a waste of money on neutrals.

What nonsense are you talking about?! You don't need many Castles?! You do need them!!! Right now, the maximum is eight Castles!! You can't play properly!!! If you want the computer to move quickly, buy a decent computer (sorry for the tautology). On my "huge map with a Dungeon" for eight players, the computer takes no more than 3 minutes to complete its turn (I mean not just one opponent, but all of them together take 3 minutes). Difficulty: "Hero".
P.S. There's no need to say "definitely". You're presenting your personal opinion as the opinion of the public!!! You're like Zhirinovsky...

I think one Castle and one neutral town is the maximum. It's important to protect what you have, rather than running around the map trying to conquer Castles that will often end up being empty. My computer runs the game well, no problems at all, but not everyone who bought a computer this year is so lucky and has the ability to upgrade it every six months. In my opinion, the length and slowness of Heroes 5 is also a drawback; time flies by surprisingly quickly and unnoticed.
P.S. This is just my opinion, of course;-)))))))

Time flies by incredibly quickly and unnoticed, not because the game is long, but because it's interesting! And you can (and want to) play it for a very long time! But in the fifth "Heroes," this doesn't happen! And don't think that I don't do anything but play "Heroes." I played "Heroes" (before the release of the fifth part) on weekends. And if you want to play quickly, then strategy (especially turn-based) is not for you! Judging by your statements, you are not a big fan of "Heroes" and, perhaps, you haven't played "part three" at all, or you haven't played it much.
