The topic was created back in late 2005, by which time the fifth installment and its expansion pack had already been released, but I still prefer the third game... until a new generation of the fifth game emerges, the third game will remain the best in the Heroes series!

It's more interesting to play the 3rd installment because it has both large and small maps, and random maps, while the 5th installment only has small maps and no randomness, and there are fewer artifacts. I'm not arguing that the graphics are great, but until a more flexible version (in terms of maps, etc.) of the 5th installment is released, it will be difficult for it to compete with the 3rd.

As everyone knows, Heroes 3 successfully outlived the fourth installment in the series and even continued in Homm 3.5x.

Will they survive Homm 5...?

Nothing has ever been better than 3, and most likely nothing ever will be – it's a masterpiece!
4 is unplayable garbage, and 5 is already Demigods, not Heroes; it's a completely different game.
The developers should not have made silly sequels; they should have improved and updated 3, adding, for example, new factions, artifacts, neutral units, and magic, and that's all; everything else was already perfect.

Hmm, what does "only small maps and no randomness" mean? Maybe you should take a closer look at the fifth game instead of just criticizing it. There are four map sizes, and there is a random map generator... And there will be more artifacts, including composite ones, after the second expansion (just as not all the variety appeared in the third game right away).

The fourth game is unplayable, and the fifth is already more like Demigods than Heroes; it's a completely different game.

But why make the same third game again? I've been playing it for eight years and I already paid for it. And I don't want to wait four years to get the same thing plus two castles (no matter what kind). When I launch the fifth game, it's a new game; yes, it's similar to Heroes, and I don't have to study manuals to learn how to play, BUT it's a new game, and I really like it.

I don't acknowledge any other parts of the series except for Heroes of Might and Magic III!

I didn't like Heroes of Might and Magic IV, and Heroes of Might and Magic V is just a bad variation! I think the whole series was ruined!

Heroes of Might and Magic III is the best!!!

All three and five are good heroes. Each series is interesting in its own way, and I just finished the fourth one to check it off the list. I didn't really enjoy it.

Currently, in Heroes of Might and Magic III, I'm only interested in the 7th and 8th parts of the Chronicles series; I find them interesting because of their storylines. I really love campaigns of all kinds, but I hardly play multiplayer (just a couple of times). However, the future still lies with Heroes of Might and Magic V. With the release of large expansions, the game is becoming more diverse and tactical, which is undoubtedly a plus. And some creatures, especially from the Necropolis castle, are simply wonderfully charming! Playing the campaign as them is a real pleasure!

I haven't played much in the campaign mode! I didn't finish a single one because I wasn't interested... there's not enough freedom, everything depends on the plot.

Maybe I should play now =)))

By the way, the second game was just as good. I remember spending hours playing it at school... I just fell in love with it :D

The second Heroes game is very similar to the third, but it always confused me with its gameplay logic. Unfortunately, it got boring quickly...
As for Heroes of Might and Magic III? They are timeless. Otherwise, you wouldn't call them "Absolute." Sometimes you play, and it seems like there's a flaw here, a shortcoming there, but that's where all the charm lies. The overall balance, it turns out, isn't that important!

I grew up on Heroes III... it's sacred to me...
the future belongs to Heroes V... the past will always be there, especially if it was made with heart.

I completely agree.

At the moment, I think the third installment is the best in the entire Heroes series, especially when it comes to gameplay. Although the graphics of the third game are already outdated, it has become so familiar that I don't want to change it.
