To me,Heroes V came the closest to being perfect.Sure it had several bugs and annoying AI but at least it was well made.
Also it has a lot of H3 elements so it can be considered a rebirth to the roots in 3D era.
H5 is competent enough, gameplay-wise, I just feel it lacks the charm and simple interface of its predecessors.
The factions are stylized after Warhammer, campaign stories were too melodramatic, even the music I felt lacked variation.
Also this:

they took the map 'hero' to be the actual hero, rather than figuring out that he was an icon for the army, which gave us the rather idiotic image that the 'hero' could move perhaps 50 feet a day.
Of course, different opinions and all that.

Ubisoft also completely screwed up the atmosphere, they took the map 'hero' to be the actual hero, rather than figuring out that he was an icon for the army, which gave us the rather idiotic image that the 'hero' could move perhaps 50 feet a day.
I think the main difference there was that up until H4, the adventure map was more symbolic than anything else: every icon there represented an object that was disproportionate to the world in which it was placed. In H5, they changed this to be more life-like, which gave some weird conceptual issues with distances.
This is so true. It's useless to have super-detailed creature models if they are so small Not to mention in Heroes Online is even worse....
Ah, I miss the immersion of older Heroes

Is anyone here still playing?
I have started yesterday again and well, the game is very fun
Started custom map against 3 AI yesterday, everything seems in place now - artworks when hiring creatures, beautiful music, lovely town screens, good variety of factions and creatures and all those new adventure map buildings...If only the game was released in the state it is now in..
Overall the atmosphere and gameplay is very engaging and dynamic. Some RMG would be nice though...
I would love to play some multiplayer(well, try - was out of sync problem ever fixed?) in some spare time.
Much better then HOMM5 in my opinion, couldn't play that game at all..

I also returned to Heroes VI 2 days ago playing on my map. It is very fun and difficult.
Hermes why don`t you try it out too?

Returning to activity
I plan to start on Vein's last mission tomorrow and I look forward to seeing the conclusion of the whole thing. And then I have only Crag Hack left to play with. Yeah, it's embarrasing to admit I'm not even done with the campaigns yet. 
I wish I had played more since the expansion came out but this autumn I've had to use my computer time for studies and writing applications. And that's also why I haven't been active on this forum since october. I hope to be more active here this spring.
Natalka, your Jungle Fever map with all those inventions is also at the to-do-list. Maybe in multiplayer some day but I guess I have to practice in single player first.
The best Heroes game?
- ALL of them is best at something so I when I had more time I used to return to the older ones when I wanted different colours, factions, systems, music, style or stories. I'd really like to play Horn of the Abyss after finishing Heroes 6, which IS one of the best Heroes games.Hermes said:

Yes, except that sim. turns are more important than RMG in my view, it would help making it a great multiplayer game outside the duel tournaments. H6 is one of the best when it comes to world building and story telling, i.e. the campaigns rock and there's a lot of them with much content now.

Nooo these are not inventions! I just reinvented the wheel from previous heroes games because H6 lacks adventure map objects.

I played Jungle Fever yesterday and I liked both the map and the inventive new extra map objects. There are some message boxes that keep popping whenever I'm near any special object but that's a minor detail in the whole Picture.
You said "very fun and difficult" and I can only agree with that. There's a good economic pressure and need for careful planning. I started as Sanctuary with a Flood Conjurer and it's a real challenge for my priestesses to shoot down the neutrals, all are either invisible, shooters or very fast. First week I lost all sharkmen and kappas and no priestesses , and on W2D1 I reached level 5 & 6 and is ready for the tougher fights. But my bad luck with the neutrals isn't over; I see 3 groups of Black Dragons (immunity!) guarding the most important places.

I`m glad you started playing on my map.
1) The tooltip that is popping all the time is the windmill/watermill one. I agree I should change it somehow to pop-up more rarely. Now it pops up every 20 secs ONLY if there is hero nearby but it is the only way to tell you that you have visited if you forgot or loaded an old game
2) Don`t fight the Blackies until you have reached level 20 and huge army of Pearl Priestesses and Kenshis(at least 30 for tanking).
In our game that we started a few days ago we both have Blackies there and my opponent is a flood conjurer also. If you want I will share a replay when we get there.

that could be in 2 weeks ... tonight I can share some replays - full crypt and ore dwelling. If u want please start a new thread- creeping "something" and i will add links of our game.
EDIT: Blackies can be beaten with 66 Pearl Priestesses, 12 Kenshis ..I forgot I beat that monolith end of week 2.
I hope you were right in your guide and I can use spring spirits to put additional 20% air dmg on them from priestesses.

Perhaps you could post it in your Jungle Fever Thread or in this very old thread called Creeping in Heroes 6 to restart it so that a more enlightened discussion can be had?
I figured out that the key to winning over the dragons is to use things like reinforcements, waves of renewal and pressed attack, but I didn't dare to try it as early as you did. Thanks for telling what's possible.
The dragon section of the guide only mentions the activated abilities, not passives, but a quick test today showed that Blackies are immune to both soaked and frozen, but not to Challenge or Eyes of the Medusa. A big thing to miss, I'll add it one day.

Yes I don't have reinforcement at all (but it was my way for handling dragons in the dungeon campaign), and pressed attack was picked only as way to save mana against my unusually tough neutrals. I just had to get it at level 7 on a tuesday to keep creeping during that week.
I have one problem though, I couldn't respecify my hero. Not when reaching level 10 and not at 9, 11, 12 and not when reaching blood/tears 1 either. It has happened in all (4) long non-campaign games I've played. Maybe it's because I upgraded reputation before level 10? Can that problem be solved/avoided somehow?

You should have around 50 Pearl Priestesses week2. You can kill everything without mana if you have high enough spellpower on your hero. I recommend you level up logistics,tactics(essential, no brainer) then level up magic power from prime magic and air magic power. This will give u a nice boost to dmg on Priestesses and increase their healing capacity. Then I literally just press defend with Kenshis and all creeps attack only them anyway. To increase damage I attack with Spring Spirits. It is much more effective to first kill and make big damage with priestesses and then cast Waves not the other way arround. Just watch out so that Kenshis don`t die completely.
If u face shooters send Kenshis forward because you will receive half damage.
I never respecified in a heroes game. It would be extremely powerful to get rid of the unneeded skills.

No, true Heroes fans want a good strategy game with solid mechanics. Don't give a damn about 2D or 3D ...
