Patching is definitely an option. But how? Is it possible to patch a non-licensed copy of "Excalibur" at all... And with what?

We all know that Heroes 4 was a major failure for 3DO. Let's discuss what could have made Heroes 4 better and saved 3DO from collapse?

I believe the blame doesn't lie with 3DO. They wanted to add something new and remove the old. You can't improve units, there are far fewer possibilities, and I didn't see a good engine as such; the plot is boring. But overall, the game isn't bad if you remove these minor flaws.

I wouldn't say that Heroes 4 was the reason 3DO went bankrupt.

The drawbacks have been correctly noted. However, it is also worth remembering the advantages, such as the excellent hero development system, the flexible and easily customizable quest system, and the landscapes, which are quite decent compared to the third game...
Don't rush to call the game a failure; many people enjoy it.

Heroes 4 has many advantages, BUT: it has a terrible design (only Heroes 5 surpasses it with its nightstands-gargoyles and smoking skeleton-archers), a reduced number of units, a reduced number of factions, a worse city development system, and a completely new plot instead of continuing the already beloved one.
Besides, a sequel should always be better. Heroes 3 was a breakthrough, Heroes 4 was slightly above average.
That's why many fans of the Elder Scrolls series don't really like Oblivion; Daggerfall was a breakthrough, Morrowind maintained the brand to some extent, but Oblivion simply became another good RPG.

The topic "Heroes 4 as the downfall of 3DO!" has been merged with "Problems of the fourth game..." because they are essentially the same!

Maybe after my answer, I will be persecuted by all forum members, but I will say my opinion! Heroes of Might and Magic IV is the BEST!
Most people started with the third part, and that's why the innovations in the fourth part didn't appeal to them! Well, I don't mind other people's opinions!
But there's no need to express negativity directly, pointing out the differences between the third and fourth parts!!! This transition is a Revolution (with a capital "R" :cool: )
And somehow, the differences are judged as drawbacks! Now, remember which Heroes game you played for the first time!
Okay! Who did I offend? Write! :cool:

The only problem with the fourth installment is that it differs from the other games in the series.

the graphics are a problem... they all look bad. Especially the human warriors...
and the elves are wearing rags, the wolves look like dogs, and many other things.

I completely disagree with the criticism regarding the challenging design (Saruman) and the graphics issues (Arandor). In my opinion (and I'm not alone in this), it's all just a great departure from the third installment. That's where the problems lie. The fourth game, on the other hand, is a breakthrough in this regard, a process of improvement, if you will.

Elves are in rags, wolves look like dogs, and much more.
