What difference does Equilibris make? THis seems to be the main criticism levelled at 4 - the balancing.

Hi.
I'm new here, but your site came up quite a few times on Google whilst I was searching for reviews.

I played Heroes 3 (Erathia) a lot Hot Seat, and although I am no expert I do know how to play the game.

I've got a bit bored with overplaying it, and I want to buy another Heroes game.

I need to choose. I believe Heroes 5 is not coming out for a while, so it seems like its between a Heroes 3 expansion pack and Heroes 4.

As I said earlier, my main interest lies in playing it Hotseat, although I do look into online multiplayer every now and then.

I have gathered that Heroes 4 is quite rare, but if it is worth it I will try and get it.

Could you advise me whether to get an expansion for 3, or 4 instead?

Thanks .
One good option would be for you to go for SoD expansion or heroes complete as these will enable you to add WoG expansion which is free. This game has enough new options added to H3 to keep you interested for  keeps, with the added advantage that it is an ongoing project and always adding new stuff.

lol.. the n00b bought heroes4.. talk about the mistake of the century.

The AI is crap, the graphics makes you want to puke and the game has no addictive feeling to it whatsoever.

Listening to heroes 4 n00bs is just boring, heroes 3 is by far the more active online game out of heroes3/heroes4.. makes you wonder doesnt it concidering how old heroes 3 really is.

Id check if there is any refund possible as soon as i could if i were you.

I agree saying it's better to buy Heroes 3 expansion pack
SoD so you have 2 expansions at the cost of one (Wog is free)!
In addition I think that computer AI is better in H3 than H4 for combats! (Enemy heroes don't exployt combat skills enough...)
H4 can be rent somewhere from your friends or be bought from great stores at a cheap price (economic edition from ubisoft)!

If you really liked H3 then you'll love the expansion.another good thing if you buy H3 is that you'll get SoD, AB and WOG(free)! I recomend you buy H3 if you didn't already bought it!!!!!!

Hm, so if more people play game A than game B, then game A is better?

So the best game is probably some minesweeper or patience?
And of course poker is way better than bridge, right?

Heroes 4 is played less mainly because it was killed by 3do (got to the market incomplete).

Heroes 4 is waaaay better for multiplayer. Deeper, there is more strategy in it, etc.

I have bought HOMM IV for a really low price, and HOMM 3 for even less, so the price is in both cases no porblem.

Heroes 3 is a great game and generally more liked, and this comes from someone who loves Heroes 4.
But I find heroes 3 gets boring faster than 4.
In heroes 3 the AI is harder so if you have a computer player you can't just sit around you have to move and hit him. So every game is sort of the same. Its basically a race.
In heroes 4, I've had games go on for much longer, because the AI isn't as good so you can sit around and do other stuff, fight neutrals, etc. When the enemy comes around you can usually deal with any army size, if you know how and have the right stuff. I heroes 3 if you sit around and wait the computer will come along and you will get squashed.

If you like lots of creatures and creatures and in your battles and the idea of upgrading, go with Heroes 3. If you like the idea of heroes in battle and having more than one per group, go with heroes 4. There are also other things that are different but thats a main one.

They are 2 rather different games with different strategies, but both are great games in their own way.

P.S. This post isn't just for the guy who made this post as it was started years ago, but just more for in general about H3 vs H4 and for everyone to read.

H3 WoG has the same anti-boredom factor as IV to me.
