Over-rated. One of my favourite games of all time, it gets the power/loot to God status right but it is not as replayable as HoMM3.The attribute that HoMM3 has that sets it apart is replay value.

>5 had the least cartoony
You mean MOST cartoony.
It's literal WoW ripoff in terms of art style.
6 was actually considerably more realistic than 5 in its art style but still very much fantasy like, if I were to compare it to something I'd say it's something akin to H2 if it was in modern 3D.
H7 went for even slightly grittier look than H6.
Unfortutnately town screens in 5-7 are full on cartoony shit.

compare an angel in 3 and 5 and tell me that 5 is more cartoony. 3 was glorious but it was like a childs imagination. 5 was far more mature while still retaining the wonder.

HoMM7 after patches is a completely different game than what it was on launch and most importantly, they still keep supporting it. Same devs as M&M10 so basically it's a flawed gem with potential.

First time I played AoW1 I heard it as a mix between Warlords+Homm.

I don't think they're that similar.
The economy isn't there in the same way.

Armies only move with the hero, and you go and collect units more than continously train ramies.

Also where you might max out an army in AoW, that isn't really a thing in the same way in homm.

If you have 250 dragons, they all move together in one unit.

>>344308605
Romero and King are gods.
At the moment I'm more curious if H7 will get the second expansion with Inferno or not. Since the H7 OST has Inferno and Fortress themes on it as they were part of the community vote for which factions should be included as they had limited budget. Inferno lost to Dungeon and Fortress lost to Sylvan. Romero still composed town screen themes for them though and included them on the OST. We already know his Fortress theme is being used for Fortress in the upcoming expansion in August.

I really hope they end up making 2nd expansion with Inferno. I'm also curious if the expansion will have any new music, H5 and H6 expansions did.

Damn this town was made just at the last moment after the forge fiasco. That feel when even Thunar and Erdamon are the same character just with different graphics

I always thought conflux was thematically obsolete.
The academy already kind of fill the role of the highly magical vaguely arabic civilization, I just don't get the point of Conflux.

>>344312572
Conflux is not meant to be arabic though, it's elementals based.

At least the guy making the H7 incarnation is making it work differently from other towns, in that it's going to be purely Elemental town with only elementals (4 base ones + light + darkness) with Phoenixes being ultimate unit.
>>
>>344312572
Tower wasn't very arabic.
Genies, then nothing arabic.

Conflux was arabic in architecture, and not much else.
One faction of wizards, one faction of elementals.

Bad at keeping distances which is important in a tactical combat screen.

But that's not true at all. Hexagons were only used due to limitations of 2D space. They have no place in 3D.

This. Campaigns were amazing in Heroes 4. I also don't think the game sucks. In these threads I sometimes feel so alone about that and doubt my own opinion. I enjoyed the hell out of Heroes 4. I think Heroes 3 is still the better one but 4 is pretty close. Is there no one who agrees with me?

Not our fault that M&M, and all first person RPG of that time for that matter, are not that good.

In a way I'm mad too. But considering I was one of them I still believe they went about it the most catastrophic way possible. Had they tried a campaign with Corak or Sheltem instead of fucking chainsaw zombies and naga tanks, it most likely would have caused less of a fucking culture shock.

Really, they only have themselves to blame, and no one else. HoMM fan reaction was perfectly understandable and anyone with common sense should have been able to predict it.
>>
>>344315208
Is it because of those reasons: >>344312229

If so then you don't have a reason because you don't know the meaning of the word.
If you can't come up with a good reason you should accept that game isn't clunky.
>>
>>344315358
Problem is Corak and Sheltem don't work since they were already dead by that point in time.
>>
>>344315557
We killed Sheltem so many times it hardly matters. Have someone necro him back or whatever. It's not like the series has one of the most well-known necromancers in vidya history or anything. And Corak is a time traveler, I'm sure they could come up with a fairly acceptable asspull.

Forge was fucked on the conceptual level. It was drastic even by MM standards. The problem is, if you want to convince a new audience that sf is a core part of the series, you don't do it in a way that WILL make them freak the fuck out. You do that by bringing in characters who you can maybe, possibly introduce without causing mass panic, even if you previously killed them off. The fact that they are a big part of MM lore gives them legitimacy, simply saying "MM was always sf, although not quite like this" is not enough.
