It's a decent game. It's different from other installments, but that doesn't mean it should be discarded.

The ability to rotate the camera + zoom in/out + improved old creatures + the building system from the 3rd installment = ideal (not to be confused with the 5th installment):cool:

ladies and gentlemen, allow me to share my opinion as well. I never played Heroes 3; I started with Heroes 4, and it was this installment that made me fall in love with the series forever. Only my family and close friends know how much joy, sleepless nights, and frustration I experienced while playing. When Heroes 5 came out, it didn't completely capture my attention. THESE ARE DIFFERENT GAMES IN TERMS OF TACTICS, STRATEGY, AND SO ON!!!! Some people like one, some like the other. I enjoy both.

I started my journey with the Heroes game in computer clubs, playing version 3...
Then I switched to Heroes 4, and now I'm a devoted fan (for all time)...
Heroes 5 didn't appeal to me at all... except for the visuals during battles!

snowflake;

In Heroes 4, and specifically this installment, I fell in love with the game forever. The amount of enjoyment, sleepless nights, and nerves when things didn't work out are known only to family and close friends.

Ah... I completely agree with you because I have the same feelings about them!!!!!!!!!!

Try playing Heroes III for at least a month... You'll probably like it more! (I hope so, unless things are really bad).
And the fifth game is a mix of the tried and tested (Heroes III) and the new (Heroes IV).
P.S. Just listen to it: Heroes III, Heroes III!!! But here it's Heroes IV, the fourth part... Ugh!

I've played through all the games in the series. I strongly suggest you "play through" the fourth one.

P.S. Just listen to it: Three, Three-y!!! And then here is Four, the Fourth part.... Fie!!!

Ossified fanaticism or, otherwise, a matter of taste.
Four isn't "fie." You just need to play without muttering under your breath every three minutes: "Three-y... three-y... three-y is the best..."

There's also this point: when you really like something, you move to the new one with great reluctance; it's always hard and always unpleasant to play at first. I started with two and four, and I got used to three, although at first many things drove me crazy.
You need to play it, preferably forgetting for a moment about your "beloved three-y" — then, I am sure, a multitude of interesting moments will reveal themselves.

I'm playing Heroes 5 at a leisurely pace (I've reached the Elves...). But I don't like that heroes get defeated on the fourth turn...
Also, the fact that troglodytes guard the gold mine for life (I don't know, maybe all the maps I play on are like that...) – 4 squads of 150 units each – it's not much...
The fact that creatures increase in number every day... it's a questionable decision....
I tried to understand Heroes 4... and I'm still trying, but so far without success...

Well, you need to nurture and protect your heroes, and choose suitable opponents for them in the early stages...

As for the troglodytes... That's strange... ))
Just play, and get used to the new features. It's just a slightly different approach.

What are you talking about? Either all the maps in Excalibur are like that, or I just got unlucky...

"I mean... either all the maps in Excalibur are like that, or I just got unlucky..." -
Excalibur is a terrible pirated version, as far as I know. That is, like in many amateur companies, there are probably a lot of glitches.

"Well, there's also Winds of War!!!! It's the same thing..." - "Winds of War" is installed on my computer, but I haven't played through the "Winds" campaign. As for the maps... It's just some random thing, a coincidence. And also, a gold mine... Trogolodites... constantly... Honestly, it sounds funny.)))"

I don't know why that is for you, gentlemen, but everything is fine for me. Excalibur is installed and the gold mine is guarded by any creatures (level 2 of Chaos and Death power).

Don't pay attention – it's a bad mood + not the best evening playing not the best game...
I don't know what's going on... I can also send you a save from the campaign... You defeat the key enemy hero, and then they tell you that Red lost Marina (his key hero, he shouldn't be lost either)... Then there's a defeat cutscene... and hello, main menu!!!!!!

The fourth installment isn't perfect, but it's not the worst in the series either. The game is quite different from the previous ones, but once you get used to it, you'll appreciate it. MY OPINION - IT'S A REALLY DECENT GAME!
