"Actually, there are many level 4's that grow at 4/week.  Hydras and champions are the two I know of for sure... in any case, though, the thunderbirds are rarely going to be grown for long without that breeding pit, and as that's the case, I have to include that in any example of thunderbirds..."

No, there are not. Study the numbers again.
Champions grow with 4.
Thunderbirds grwo with 3 (4.5 with Breeding Pit)
Behemoths grow with 2 (3 with Bredding Pit)
Black dragons grow with 1.
All others grow with 2. (Hydra, Dragon Golem, Titan, Faerie Dragon, Phoenix, Angel, Bone Dragon, Devil)

Mantis grow by 1 from the portal, but two if you flag an external dwelling. I believe you're prevented from buying Sea Monsters altogether.

You can increase the growh with Nobility but I believe we were excluding that from the numbers.

And Devils don't suck. They're phenomenal in your own army.

1st graphic: is not good at all (it is year 2002 now) water looks like blue grass no banks what so ever, all towns looks like squre fence with no diference exept for like skul in the middle, tha good thinh that town changes on the map then you build it but it still looks stoopid.and the creatures is total disapoinment i can mention couple here, 1st of all it is HOMM so it is not suposed to have creatures whitch is fun to watch for you 3 year old siter because it looks like something she saw on nickelodion expl:
LEPRCHAUN = looks like green uncle sam or some idiot from st. patrics days parade. SATYR = totally gay stupid face again to close to reality looks like NWC who ever made this creature hated somebody so they took their pic and made satyr. WHITE TIGER = any1 saw whinie the pooh?. UNICORN = no more grace looks like monopoly token. order creatures looks little better exep nagas has fat ass and titans skirt like a school girl.also all dragons looks like reptiles not dragons fat and stoooopid. SQUIRE = definately has somethin up his as* then walking. ANGEL = cant realy fly so uses his leg o help him. CEREBUS = also a cartoon charcter i would say angry pudel, then fire goes on looks like awar winning chiau-chiau. VAMPIRE = also as a fag. DEVIL = notdevilish.
CENTAUR = cherokee indian mixed w/ horse.HARPY = ........
NOMAD = lawrece of arabia?. BEHEMOTH = MICHEL JACKSON.SEA MONSTER = plug it into the outle and you dont need christmas tree.

*****
That is exactly my point.  I will not argue saying that graphics are completely horrible (although after starring at the game for 5 days I was tempted to), they are however a definite step down from HOMM1-3.
*****
2nd balance is not that bad. what i realy hate is that they put towns together why alchemist has dwarfs, treasury and inferno mixed this realy pised me off.

3rd lack of multiplayer is ok we need time to fish campains (i we will because it is preaty boring) hot seat that is what made homm so cool even than you have multiplayer you still play hot seat (turns) i still remember 4 sleeples night then i got homm2 and the same with homm3, now i can sleep no problem or try to think of how to modifie homm3 for 2002

4th sound is better than in homm3 but agree that best was homm2

******
Sound is crap on HOMM4 on my system.  And even if it does work for some people, it just means that 3DO did a poor job of testing the game.
******

5th there is no question that game is laging, and there is no problem runing anything else, by the was i have 5 pc's and i tried to put it on all of them same results game is UNFINISHED i have 2 notebooks p3 & k62, celeron 400 compaq, athlon 650, and athlon 1.4 all desktops is made by me and has no roblems with ny software on my athlon xp i have 1.5gb ram and gforce ti4600 and 3hdds 80/120/180gb so dont b*lsht that i it not enought for any game i run win me (xp sux) and linux for my ftp server

*****
THANK YOU.  Same problem here.  People who rebuke this argument by saying that they have P4 1.9 Ghz systems, are fools.  Look at the game requirements.  Why should I buy a new system that is 4 X required system just to run a crappy game (which I beleive memory leaks).

P.S. If you want to talk about beatiful game graphics and awesome gameplay look at Wolf3D, JediKnight2, or Freespace2.
Neither of those games crashed on me yet and I had them for a while.  Even with complex graphics my friends are able to play them on 56K with little or no lag.
*****

6th battle screen is preaty confusing as well as sensitve one click and you ranged creature is going somwhere i miss hex, hex gave ability to count you move very far ahead here you just do something, ranged retal is ok with me, preaty stupid that you cant ast spels if creature blocked though

7 agree 1000% all town similar building similar in the same place, totaly stoopid tha only thing i liked was caravan it is cool, on the other hane if you take the city and he has caravan ariving it arives and stll and belongs to them

8 creatures stoopid lev 4 is best i think but sti no money in this game, also creatures travels 3 time more than hero, last nite i was runing after computer hero like 6 turns and i ad gloves he didnot it so anoys me turs it too short

******
I still think that 4 is not enough.  There is a huge gap between creature levels and that makes it very hard to counter upper level creatures.
******

in general i dont car about 40 $ i spent but i am waiting for homm5 or homm3/2003 i will play for ecause i have to get tru it just for my love for homm but it was bigest disapointment in a decade 2002 is the year of LEPRECHAUN stoooooooopid

******
Hopefully HOMM5 will replace HOMM4 soon.  Funny, if they had only changed some towns, added the new Heroes system and new creatures to HOMM3 and renamed it to HOMM4 I would have bought the game in an instant.
