Why H4 and not H3?

This thread isn't to challenge anybody, but it's mainly for dedicated Heroes 4 players.  What's so good about heroes 4 that us heroes 3 players should consider converting towards?.

main reason? an obvious progress from the great H3 to great H4, those 4 years of programming weren't in vain
...but you cannot feel it until you are very deep into the strategy that H4 can offer. as i remember from my beginning in that game, you need patience to learn and not get discouraged by losses or even that single issue that i consider it annoying to H4 - the transfer.

the comparison is totally unapropriated considering the time of releases, the fact that both games belong to the serie and they respect same TBS line.

I know that everygame looks better if you look in the past, it's just a matter of time passing that marks our lives, not the game itself. it happens with all stuff, what was long ago got a special fragrance. same thing will happen with h4 in 2-3 years, but you , first , should live with it for awhile.


have a nice day

Heroes 4 offer more avanced strategy and provide more cheap laming tactics

like no troops in you army and town gate jumpers and so on

the ones who played h4 well can easilt go in for h3 the ones who played h3 very well can't get a thing in h4 and strat to hate the game for being so complicated

 no troops in your army may well be a cheap tactic(combat hero etc) but is only going to be effective against opponent if game is short.there are far more tactical options than this "no troops" thing you keep talking of.

Have you seen MSG-2? When is he going to evolve to stage 3? I have heard that he is still looking for a clan.

I can offer quite a challenge ... I have improved my skills. I played hot seat a lot. Now my turns have become very long. Guys went to have dinner while it was my turn on week 2 day 7. when they came back it was still day 14 and I was almost done.

Part 1: The ranger upbringing. His younger days og glory!

I remember the first time I played the_teacher. Such an experience it was. Amazing. I was unbeatable. Chaos. Such power, I can still taste it on my lips if I try to recall the day of battle.

Chaos, black dragons, 9! black dragons. What could possibly beat me? Spirits raised and bloodlust at a peak after slaying the_teacher's younger romanian brother, I marched into neutral territory.

The_Teacher was Life. Fitting. Pure, holy, and there for the ultimate honor, to revenge his bloodkin. It would soon be clear that he was going to "teach" me a thing or two about h4

More to come!

P.S: Don't mind me rambling, I was in the mood

I love stories
i have one, quite interesting,  with the Ring of power (for the specific location) that shined under the FULL moonlight rays, hmmm... spectacular.
It was some kind of turning point, i know someone who should agree with that , even if he won't admitted public

i'm not so skilled as nordics in reproducing the exact flavours of those times, and i try not ro ruin the image.



have a nice day



P.S. memories are keepin me alive
