As is the case with most great games, you don't realise what's great about them until you break everything down to its most exploited form. HOMM4 is just that: balance in exploits. It's incredible that a game so rushed and incomplete could provide me with such immense discovery in strategy and cheeky gameplay abuse. This game has the best soundtrack in any game I've ever heard, and furthermore the stories and general charm create an atmosphere that I will never forget. Some day, games will be completed with all the human determination that art deserves. But until then, I will have to observe the limitations of the current art, and in my imagination, fill in the gaps. Legendary game regardless.
