I think that all parts are good in their own way! I started playing with the 4th part (without having seen or known about the others before!), and I just fell in love with this game! I was obsessed with it! I played day and night! I enjoyed every minute at the computer, reveling in the music! I played all the scenarios, and the campaign, although not all of it. I also played the expansions for the 4th part. I didn't even think about other series! But then I found the 3rd part! It seemed unusual to me (compared to the 4th), but I liked it very much! But still, not as much as the 4th! Then came the 5th! Which I'm playing now! It combines ideas from the 3rd and 4th parts! And the graphics are great! But there are terribly few scenarios!(((( And it won me over! I don't even know which is better, the 4th or the 5th! IMHO! I haven't played the 1st and 2nd, which is a great pity((( I'll try to make up for it! But people, agree that each part is good in its own way! And it's a waste of time to criticize the 4th! What's wrong with the fact that they decided to modernize it?! On the contrary, it acquired its own unique charm with its innovations! Is it bad that the hero doesn't just stand there like a pillar, but fights? He's needed for that, not just to carry the army! And what's wrong with the caravans? Of course, the 4th part has its flaws! But no game is immune to that!
We're just all wary of change, and we take every change with hostility! But we need to look for the good side in everything! Now you can throw stones at me!))
I play all the parts depending on my mood! But I love the 4th and 5th the most! I'll put the 3rd in second place! This is just my personal opinion! And finally, I'll say: The fact that we're all arguing so much already shows that Heroes was a great success and will remain so for a long time in any of its forms! Heroes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and all the expansions FOREVER!
PS sorry for writing so much))))
