the game engine in Heroes is also a bit strange: titans, knights, and leprechauns stand unnaturally on the battlefield. And there's no point in even talking about Cerberuses: they're bald and look like Chihuahuas.

What does the engine have to do with it?

This is more about the animation of the creatures and their designs than the engine itself. And what's unnatural about how these creatures stand?

Perhaps what's unnatural is that a chihuahua doesn't have three heads :D

I also don't like the simultaneous attacks in the 4th game. While simultaneous attacks are understandable, it's strange when, in a single moment, titans retaliate with the "saliva" of a medusa. If this process were sequential, there would be no issues.

All the creatures I mentioned look as if their "spheres" are too large.

Wouldn't a group of archers stand under fire? In reality, they would try to take cover from the arrows and fire back. In the game, of course, no one will "evade the barrage," but the fact that the creatures fire back adds a certain realism.
However, such a synchronized exchange of fire is unlikely to occur.

Maybe their "balls" are indeed big, like those of bad dancers - but there's no way to check. As for the archers, it's quite realistic - a unit won't be able to dodge or defend against a volley of arrows, but it will try to shoot first to inflict damage and reduce its own losses. Unlike infantry, archers have both hands occupied, so they can't hold shields.

Guys, what is inside the prison?
It's a city jail for defeated enemy heroes. Your opponent can reclaim the prisoners by capturing this city.

The outer prison (an object on the strategic map) contains a unique hero. Free him, and he will serve you.

DUNGEON

An external dungeon (an object on the strategic map) contains a unique hero. Free him, and he will serve you.

The dungeon on the map contains a hero by default, i.e., a level 1 hero. And the mapmaker (if required) assigns the unique hero himself. Or do level 1 heroes not always appear by default?

...a unique hero is defined by the mapmaker (if needed).
Yes, I'm talking about that. You can customize any hero in the Dungeon on the map.

Because the game was released in an unfinished state. The project failed due to poor management by the company 3DO. That's all.

The fourth installment turned out to be much more engaging than the others; it's a real gem.
