What should be improved? The hero leveling system? But I'm not playing Diablo.
I deliberately don't take more than two heroes in the fourth game (and preferably one), I like it better, and I think having multiple heroes is unnecessary. They could at least set a limit, like 2-3 heroes.

Vissy theorizes while lounging on the couch. Not only is it impossible to immediately acquire seven heroes, but the experience is also divided equally among everyone, giving each member of the group only meager portions. Besides, post #869 contains a truth. In general, it has been observed that almost in all cases, those who say "the fourth game was bad, the third was great" are newcomers for whom the third game was their first.

To reach level 15, for example, the experience gained by five heroes is quite sufficient; that's generally how skills are developed.
I would rather play Heroes 3 or 4 with my friends and some drinks. I don't enjoy other game modes in Heroes 3 and 4.

I also keep no more than two heroes in one army. You won't get enough experience for all of them. And no one forces you to take more heroes than you need. In general, multi-hero gameplay is a useful thing – you distribute artifacts among the heroes, and each hero of an advanced class in one army will give it its own bonus, etc.

This is just my opinion, but it's worth taking at least 4 heroes, and each should level up in their own area of skills (like 1 runner, 1 tactician, and a couple of mages). This is very convenient on online maps; by the endgame, the heroes are almost always at least level 15, and there are 5 of them, not 1. I used to play only with a single hero, and that was fine, but the first online match showed that 4-5 heroes level up at almost the same rate as 1. One level 18 hero against 5 level 14-15 heroes will lose in 100 percent of cases, even with an army 2-3 times larger. That's all.

I love the entire series, but I still prefer Heroes 4 the most. Yes, I love RPGs, and yes, I'm completely in love with the fourth installment! I love the freedom of movement – Heroes 4 gave me that in spades.

Amazing, especially considering the number of maps... ;)

Heroes 5 turned out to be the best, although at the time Heroes 4 was released, it was awesome.

I lost interest in Heroes 5 right away when I saw the announcement of this game on TV. However, later I installed it a couple of times, tried playing – and uninstalled it, it just didn't click with me. In the Wake of Gods also didn't click. But both the original Heroes 3 and Heroes 4 are still great, each in its own way, and they haven't lost their appeal. :smile02:

My interest in the third game waned after I discovered the fourth. Although, I don't play the original, but rather the "Equilibrium" version.

I tried the fifth game, but I didn't really get it. Maybe I just didn't give it enough time. I think I'll like it if I play it properly. The fourth game appealed to me because of its clever hero development system and the lack of monster upgrades. So, I think I can also get hooked on the fifth game; at first glance, it also has a very interesting skill system.

I tried the fifth one, but I didn't understand anything. Maybe I just didn't give it enough time. I think I'll like it if I play it properly. The fourth one attracted me with its clever hero development system and the absence of any monster upgrades. So, I think I can also get hooked on the fifth one; at first glance, it also has a very interesting skill system.

It's generally interesting, but I didn't like the ATB scale. When units take turns 4 times in a row, it's not very appealing to me. But currently, the fifth one is the best for online play. It has simultaneous turns.

The music is beautiful :) The units are so-so, I'd give them a 3 out of 5, but I especially liked that there are a lot of maps :) and the editor is easy to use. So, 8 out of 10.
