Posts from What would you change in Heroes of Might and Magic IV?

The fourth installment didn't become as popular as the third because it had almost nothing in common with the previous Heroes games.
So, what needed to be fixed to make the fourth game talked about as a revival of the series and so on?

I think this list has been brought up more than once.
And it seems to me that this topic was created unnecessarily, as it will most likely turn into such a flood of irrelevant comments that it's a disaster... Maybe it shouldn't have been opened? Anyway, let's see, if necessary, be ready to close it.

And here's a list of what I would change...
Let's start with the fact that the hero walks around without an army and vice versa.
A bunch of spells, and most of them are meaningless.
Of course, this is just my opinion (IMHO), and if Magnus starts attacking me now, then save me....:D :D :D :D

The spells are really good, it's a shame they removed the ability to walk on water:(

Magnus strikes!:D
The spells are really good, it's a pity they removed the ability to walk on water:(
And a hero without an army, or vice versa, is very useful because creatures that want to join disappear if there is no room in the army (as it was in Heroes of Might and Magic III), but now there is extra space:)

I don't have anything against spells... It's just that there are too many variations of the same action. For example, how many different types of slow spells are there in the fourth game????? I've even lost count... Why not have one spell with a bigger effect?:D :rolleyes:

There are some with a bigger effect.
For example, Chaos Ward and Greater Chaos Ward.

Yes, of course, but why so many???? That's what I definitely don't understand!!!
I understand that having more spells with different levels and effects increases the possible tactical options, but why so many????

Variety is definitely better. In Heroes 5, there's hardly any room to explore different spell choices. Look at Might and Magic 8, where there are also identical spells:
e.g., Flight (air magic & dragon abilities)
e.g., Charm (mind magic & vampire abilities)
But of course, too much is also bad.
e.g., in the game TES III: Morrowind, there are many spells that are identical.
e.g., Levitation and Wild Levitation, as well as 6 types of Shield spells.

I don't have anything against spells... It's just that there are too many variations of the same action. Let's say, how many types of slow spells are there in Heroes 4????? I've even lost count... Why not have one, but with a greater effect????

Then you would have to change the magic system. Then level 4 in life magic would be useless.

I'm done with the off-topic discussion:D And in general, my favorites are the second Heroes game (the fourth one is in second place).

I would add new characters, because Cerberuses and many others are getting repetitive.

And who would you add then? ;)
