I was expecting something different from the fourth installment, but what I got was a surprise. However, I actually liked what they came up with even more than I expected. It's a revolution, an attempt to look at the world of Heroes from a different perspective!

I was definitely hoping for improved graphics, but I thought it would be a copy of the third game or follow in its tradition...

There was nothing like that, and the factions are the most absurd in the series! What the hell are demons and undead doing together? Why are harpies with the Barbarians? And so on.

You're just used to the factions from Heroes 3, but Heroes 4 is a completely different game, and in my opinion, it doesn't have any significant flaws.

:D

In my opinion, Heroes 4 is completely different from Heroes 3, so I would ask the organizer of this thread to add this option as an answer:smile12:

Completely?! What about the turn-based gameplay? The resources are the same, there are dwellings, etc. Only the gameplay has been slightly changed in the 4th installment, but everything else remains the same.:smile10:

:D

If you evaluate the fourth installment as a standalone game, it's simply excellent. But if you consider it as a continuation of the Heroes series, it's not very good. For example, the action doesn't take place on Xeen because it was destroyed :( I thought the fourth game would be dedicated to Yadam (M&MVIII). And in general, the entire gameplay is noticeably different from the previous installments... I can only praise it for its powerful map editor. I'm currently working on creating a campaign :cool:

The fourth installment actually deserves praise for many things. The editor is indeed powerful... But that's not the only advantage. It only has one drawback – it doesn't appeal to fans of the third game (mainly because of the storyline).

Leshiy, don't scare me:rolleyes: There doesn't seem to be anything complicated here. Well, it's about "Gameplay," or the "flow of the game." And the "flow of the game" includes: interest, various events, development, etc. And everything else should be clear...;)

I was looking forward to the fourth installment... I really was... :rolleyes:

I wasn't expecting anything good, because in my opinion, it's hard to make something better than the third installment of Heroes, and it turned out to be even worse than I thought.

I don't remember what I expected from the 4th installment anymore. :)
But considering my then-pragmatic pessimism, I was probably expecting just a commercial project, a kind of 3rd game with slightly improved graphics, created with the sole purpose of extracting money from fans :D
Instead, I got something completely different... A very good and original game! The fact that it's not like the 3rd game is actually a plus: there's no point in making dozens of identical games, and NWC did a good job by deciding to experiment... They just didn'

What bothers me the most is when people start complaining, saying things like "why are there griffins in Haven?" or "why are harpies/centaurs in Barbarian?" or "where did they put the gremlins?" or "the ballista isn't a unit," etc. It's just embarrassing.

And what is there to be embarrassed about? People are simply upset about such a blatant redesign of the game. Moreover, it seems to me that most of the new features are in the spirit of "let's sew a fifth leg onto the dog; it doesn't need it, but it will be very original."

The fourth game isn't bad or good; it's just different.

In the fourth game, at least the old heroes were present, but in the fifth, they are all new.

Be strong. Believe

I can’t say I expected much from the fourth installment. This was the first game that introduced me to the Heroes series. Now I’m hoping for a sequel.
