I like HOMM3 and still play but I've always wished it to have more magic, map items, more uses for artifacts, deeper hero customization and graphics. HOMM4 is the answer but with one addition I hate. I don't like that hero can attack/be attacked. Lots of people like it. For me it kills the imagination. I also don't like that they didn't bring Mighty Gorgon to 4. Anyway, most of the good things have been mentions by others. My most favorite of HOMM4 is magic system. It is the best (of all other fantasy worlds/games/movies or even airbender). BTW, HOMM series has taught me that there can be so many different types of dragons. I have not seen this many types of dragons in anywhere else.
