I remember when this came out and how muched i loved it. i think ubisoft did a great job with the fifth game and their first heroes game. they kept the things that heroes 3 was good at. and saw the possiblities that the fourth game took forward. liike the skill system is awesome and it was great that they saw the possibility for it. and i think it heroes 4 that helped that idea for heroes 3 have no skill system. it's basicly chose this, u become better at what u piced. but in the fourth game you choose this and this and then u get this to. like there was combinations and heroes 5 did this to wich was great. when the last expansion came for the fith game then they added two diffrent uppgrades and i loved it. cause the moment you add more choice to the game the better it gets. the more choices the better the game. at least thats what i think. like it would be the best heroes game. but yes here is the thing that killed this game for me. U NEED TO WAIT 1-2 MINUTES A TURN. thats right, if u play an 8 player game with ai. it will take forever until you can do your turns again. this gets worse when you make your own map to. and worse throughtout the game. this was fine at first but youll get there when it just bouther u to much. and ive played this since realese so im just done with this game. i play heroes 4 and dream of a better version of it.
I started playing heroes with my uncle when i was little, we played heroes 3 and might and magic 6 most of the time. but i remembered when he got heroes 4. it was just a world turned upside down. i always thought it looked stuinning for it looks so real. like now adays othere games just seems so toyish. but in heroes 4 it looks like living breathing things. if 3do didn't hit the dust and followed this path. i can't even imagine what would happen but it would be beatiful. it added classes to the game, they added choice to the game. and heroes can fight, and being in the spirit of might and magic it realy felt great to have ur hero actualy do something, and hell they can do much to. summon 24 devil with one spell, can become increadeble strong in compareson to creatures. and lvl 4 creatures feels like the best creatures. like when you get ur first level 4 creature in a game. everything changes for you. artifacts are insanly better than any other heroes game, it is the same with spells. and they have decription for everything. wich just shows how much love they put into this. and now just imagine with all the choises and classes in this game, and think how cool it would be if they build more on this in future games, wich will sadly never happen :( like if they added uppgrades to all the creatures and still have that choise between two of each level. and what if, what if! they made a choise for 2 diffrent uppgrades as well. like there would be soooo many possibilities! it would be insane and what if they did the same for classes. like more combinations when u have that skill and that skill with the hero. it would be wild and i would have played it forever. it would become a treasure for me and it is why i treasure this game so much cause of all the posibility it showed us.
