Perhaps I will now be subjected to persecution from all forum members for my answer, but I will express my opinion! Heroes OF Might And Magic IV is the BEST!

Most people started with the third part, and that's why the innovations of the fourth part didn't appeal to them! Well, I don't object to other people's opinions!
But there's no need to express negativity directly, pointing out the differences between the third and fourth games!!! This transition is a Revolution (with a capital "R" :cool: ).
And for some reason, the differences are judged as flaws! But now, remember which
Heroes game you played for the first time!
Okay, okay! Who did I offend? Write!:cool:

Something is wrong with the voting here! :confused: I can't find it!
I'm just a newbie here, I haven't had time to figure everything out yet!
Tell me where I need to click to get: COOL, BEST, etc.! :cool:

You're wrong! I almost agree with you! Only for me, the third and fourth games are on the same level, and the fifth is just a remake...
So, the fourth game forever... and besides, it's much more inconvenient to create scripts in the fifth game than in the fourth...

It's unclear why they removed 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!
They should have let him write the scenarios, and everything would have been fine!:D

And in general, Heroes of Might and Magic IV is a WORLDWIDE GAME!:cool:
Those who don't like it can stick to their opinion, but those who criticize IV
GET A DAGGER IN THE EAR!!!:cool:

I liked the fourth game because it had a huge number of neutral creatures. Initially, I liked the development system, but over time, my dissatisfaction grew due to an unsolvable problem: I wanted to be able to recruit all units at once. Other reasons: in the fourth game, you had to think more than in the third; exploring the map was more interesting; there were many interesting spells; the editor was simple, and you could create your own heroes! :D
Negative aspects: as I already said, there was an issue with recruiting troops; in some places, the level 4 growth was higher (this applies to Might), and in others, it was lower (Black Dragon of Chaos), which caused problems with perception; I didn't like the hero development system – you can never fill all the slots: at most, 2, but there are 5! :(
In general, I liked the fourth game much more than the third, but I couldn't stand the game's constant unfairness! That's why, for three months before the release of the fifth game, I played the third game! :rolleyes:
Another point: have you noticed that when there are 2 heroes of different genders in one army, you can eventually recruit their sons and daughters in taverns! I really liked this feature! :D :D :D

Just one thing: have you noticed that when there are 2 heroes of different genders in one army, you can eventually hire their sons and daughters in taverns! I really liked this feature!:D :D :D

Wow, thanks, I hadn't noticed that before...:D

Well, the fact that the Fortress faction's level 4 monsters are built faster (more per week) and that they are cheaper because they don't have magic. And the Black Dragon is recruited once a week because it is approximately equal to, say, 2 Angels or 2 Hydras in terms of recruitment rate and cost in one week!

I know that! It just wasn't enjoyable to play that way! :(

In general, the fourth installment is incredibly well-balanced! Many people just don't notice it!:cool:

I think that Heroes 4 is a very successful game. The only drawback is the graphics. The battle mode is much more interesting than in previous versions, as it has been made more realistic.

What's that about?
I only like Heroes 4 because of one button – the one that lets you buy the entire army (it's missing in Heroes 3), and that's it!

Yes, it's a decent game. It differs from other installments, but that doesn't mean it should be dismissed.

The fourth installment was a successful experiment! But the fifth one was just a repetition of what had already been done! Luckily, Heroes 4 is something truly special!

I completely agree. The fifth game is basically a slightly modified version of the third, but with decent graphics.

Gentlemen, I urge you not to go off-topic. This is not about Heroes of Might and Magic V or III, or even about comparing them to Heroes of Might and Magic IV, but about the attitude towards Heroes of Might and Magic IV.

Yes, indeed, the fourth installment is special. Although, as mentioned above, the fifth one is basically the third, but with improved graphics and some creatures that were "poorly" made.
