Posts from What would you change in Heroes of Might and Magic IV?
Mugais, continuing our conversation... This isn't an argument, but just an exchange of opinions, so don't be alarmed if something seems off to you :)
1. You don't always need to fortify the Castle. The AI attacks me either in Campaigns or when there are about one and a half Earth Elementals in the city. The AI generally behaves somewhat inadequately in this part.
Here, I think, there is a lack of experience playing the 4th installment. Or maybe it's just not enough? After all, you can play not only against the AI... The AI behaves "somewhat inadequately" everywhere. You can only get real action and excitement by playing against a human.
2. I don't recognize difficulty levels above average. Beyond that, it's just plain masochism. Especially if you allow neutral armies to roam around - then you won't be able to leave the Castle.
This is one of the reasons why the AI is slow. On the "novice" and "apprentice" levels, it's not very interesting to play against the AI. It's clear that the AI attacks less and you have more strength. It's just not interesting. And it's very difficult to truly experience the game.
In my opinion, this is where a lack of experience with the fourth game comes into play. Or maybe it's simply not enough experience? After all, you can play not only against the AI... The AI behaves "a little strangely" everywhere. You can only get real action and excitement by playing against a human.
And that's one of the reasons why the AI seems to be struggling. On the "beginner" and "apprentice" levels, it's not very interesting to play against the AI. It's clear that the AI attacks less and you have more strength. It's just not interesting. And it's very difficult to truly experience the game.
Where am I going to find a second person to play with? :o Should I teach my dog or my mother how to play Heroes? :D I'll teach my clone to play against the AI as soon as I grow one. The strangest thing is that in the third game, the AI on the Normal level behaved quite normally and even occasionally gave me a hard time.
I don't know. I tried higher levels, and it just turned into a frustrating experience. I spent a couple of weeks gathering troops just to try and conquer something, because the mines were guarded by simply monstrous hordes of creatures. Then I ran into an AI opponent who, apparently, wasn't bothered by neutral armies at all. It had an army three times larger than mine, and I was simply crushed. So, the highest difficulty level is for complete maniacs. I play to relax, not to prove to myself how awesome I am :o

Thanks... now I'm also some kind of maniac. The Champion level isn't that scary... you just need to think more. Weigh every step. At least Master or Magister, if that's the case.
Regarding the clone and mom. It's a good idea. I also have problems with online games, but sometimes (now more and more often) I manage to play over the network. It's much better. You play for days, without rushing. On large and interesting maps.

Can you tell me where you play? Maybe we can team up, because OptiMAL almost always beats me. Or give me a link.:smile12: :smile12: :smile12: By the way, I also only play on the maximum difficulty level on my computer. It's just not interesting on easy (you just walk around and bully the poor neutrals, and after a couple of weeks of leveling up, half of them just give up).
P.S. Maybe we can create a thread on

Not quite;) Sometimes he defeats me, sometimes I defeat him. It all depends on the faction (we play with random factions). As for creating a topic, it's a VERY good idea. Who's in?

Hmm... that's a difficult question for me. I'm not very good at this. I play with my friend. He has two computers.
P.S. Maybe we can create a topic on our forum. Something like "Let's Play".
There's already a topic like that. On the neighboring forum, which is called "Heroes 4 - Might and Magic 4 - Tournaments", I think...
It's in the "Tournaments for the 4th game" section and the "Let's chat, arrange, and play" topic.
:D

One not-so-great aspect of Heroes of Might and Magic IV is that the hero fights like a regular soldier.

I think it's the opposite that makes the 4th level unique... that's the whole point... and it makes it not just a soldier, but a super soldier (depending on the build!). :)

I think it's the opposite; it makes the fourth game unique... that's its charm... and it doesn't just make him a regular soldier, but a super soldier (depending on the build!).
When I played the fourth game (I hardly play it anymore, I've switched to the fifth), I really enjoyed this feature. In the campaigns, starting from the second or third mission, I mostly fought with just heroes (meaning without an army) to speed up the gameplay. However, even then, I started to think that it was almost like cheating – when one guy, even if he's a super-duper hero, takes down dozens of dragons and other high-level monsters... You have to agree, it's not very believable. Now, after playing the fifth game, I think that this possibility is implemented better there (at least more realistically): if you want to swing a sword, go ahead; if you like to cast spells, that's fine too, but even the coolest hero can't kill more than one (or maybe two) dragons at a time. That's more believable. But overall, I like the fourth game; I'm not one of those who criticize it, especially not one of those who do it without having played it much.

Yes, I also really like the feature about heroes.
I don't like it when, after recruiting a new army, the hero's turn is reduced (especially when you've been waiting for it for so long... it's a real letdown!), but this doesn't apply to cases with a ship.

Yeah... And you want him to just sit in a bunker, trembling with fear, and only give orders? That's outrageous.
Believe me, any reasonably competent commander, at a certain level of military technology development, would sit on a hill and, observing the battle, give orders to the troops. And that's not outrageous; it's just foolish to allow yourself to die from a random bullet/arrow (Napoleon, Kutuzov, for example; if either of them had died in the middle of the war for no reason, we would be living in a different world).

Well, it's a "Heroes" game, and heroes are heroes everywhere:D But I agree with you about the lack of competent commanders, but in battle, all soldiers are important! And it's simply necessary to get to the hero, because if a unit doesn't have a general, that's already a defeat. And in Heroes 3, you can't even get to the hero. And I was also annoyed that the units can't move. Why? They're not chained to their generals! (For example, for scouting). One unit can do the same job as a hero who is used for scouting. And losing a scout unit won't be as painful as losing a hero.
