HOMM IV are nowhere near as loved as HOMMIII or any 5, however, there are many strengths in the game and some of the solutions were better than in any other HOMM version. E.g. hero that's finally fully operational and can be killed (also resurrected). Heroes if developed properly are UBER powerful in the late game. Armies that can move freely and sent by caravans... The graphics might be off putting to many people and fraction differences are huge, but still, it's definitely one of my favs. Worth exploring for sure
