Alright, let's move the discussion to the Heroes of Might and Magic III section; there's no need to go off-topic here.

You made me laugh! Heroes 1: No dragon upgrade. Heroes 2: Two dragon upgrades. Heroes 3: One dragon upgrade. Heroes 4: No dragon upgrade. Get it? The fourth game has degraded to the level of the first Heroes! Up to the third game, the number of characters increased. And then the terrible fourth game came out, in which the number of characters suddenly decreased, and the heroes lost their individuality! The quest scenarios are good. I completed them all with pleasure and interest. But after completing these quests, just to experience their scenarios, there is simply nothing to do there.

According to your logic, the degradation began with the third Heroes, because the second game had more upgrades.

Yes, I understand that the person simply doesn't like the fourth game because it has tigers.

On the other hand, the "man with a knife" in the fourth game is the scariest predator. He can not only defeat a tiger in a one-on-one fight, but also a squad of dragons.

No, he's not wielding a knife. He's kicking with his feet.

"According to your logic, the decline started with the third game, because the second one had more upgrades." - This only concerned DRAGONS. Therefore, the third game was better than the second. More heroes, more castles, more units. Yes, fewer dragon upgrades. But that's the only drawback. And I expected the fourth game to have more castles, units, and heroes than the third, and maybe more upgrades. But it turned out to have less. Only the scenarios were good. So, I finished all the campaigns and started waiting for Heroes of Might and Magic V, playing Heroes of Might and Magic III in the meantime. But it turned out to be even worse...

I don't even know how to make a funnier comment about this. Maybe I just feel like playing Heroes IV.

But it turned out to be even worse...

However, it has only one fewer town, but more types of specializations and one and a half times more creatures in the castles. And more skills.

The fourth installment of Heroes is a step back.

The same can be said about the third game...

Sure thing. Let's move this discussion to this thread or this one. Including the posts… The latter even better reflects the essence of the conversation.

Good, keep going.

Well... Basically, it's a simple, unfinished piece written during one of my sleepless nights. I intended to write a short story, but something didn't quite work out.

"On the corner of a narrow street, gently sloping downwards from a small square and framed by a wall of buildings looming over it, stood a small, two-story house. It had been built here quite some time ago, and the relentless passage of time had left its mark, but it still partially retained its original appearance. The ground floor was made of stone, already worn and crumbling; the outer walls, already covered with a fine web of cracks, were four feet thick. They supported the entire weight of the second floor, which appeared to have been recently renovated. The windows were set deep within small arches, framed by an architrave; columns on either side supported a frieze and cornice, which in turn supported a projecting pediment.
From the two windows facing the dark street, a soft, dim light poured out, dispelling the darkness and leaving elongated streaks on the cobblestones. In this light, a lone lantern standing near the house cast a shadow so long that its tip reached the house across the street. Through the dusty panes of these windows, one could see the vague outlines of two people.
In the room on the second floor, it was bright and warm. A fire blazed brightly in the fireplace, and from time to time, the whitened logs crackled as flames crept and danced across them. In addition to the fireplace, the room was also illuminated by a dimly burning lamp, standing in the corner of a small table and casting a flickering light on the faces and figures of the two people nearby..."

“In the sky, like two pearls, shine two suns, creating a scene that makes the heart stop with delight. The first, A-Mira, burns with golden light, like molten gold, casting rays that embrace the world with warmth and life. Its brilliance is reminiscent of the first rays of dawn, reviving the world after a long night. The second sun, Al-Mira, emits light of a completely different kind – cold, but no less majestic. Its light seems almost magical, with a slight hint of turquoise or silver; it does not warm, but illuminates, revealing the beauty of the night even in the middle of the day. When these two suns meet in the celestial vault, they create a dance of light, where golden and silver rays intertwine, forming endless patterns on the clouds. Their presence turns every day into a spectacle, where the sky becomes a canvas, and every moment is a new work of art. At this time, you can see how the shadows of the clouds play, as if alive, creating pictures of light and shadow on the ground, where every color, every shade becomes deeper and richer. During sunset and sunrise, when one of the luminaries gives way to the other, the sky is painted in incredible colors – from purple to orange, with iridescent hues that cannot be described in words. These moments, when the two suns seem to say goodbye or meet in the heavens, become a time when the world seems especially magical, filling the hearts of all who observe this spectacle. But, unfortunately, those distant times have passed, and now, the two celestial luminaries, as if chasing each other, make the day brighter and the night darker.”
