What?
First time I'm not sure about you.. Do I understood?
But Sprite has 1hp..
Now I teach you: 1 Gnoll vs 1 Medusa.. Only you needed to waiting, and then Medusa shoot a Gnoll.. But if hero vs hero.. You haven't a Magic Arrow, so you must shoot a Gnoll for good Morale hopings.. Amen! Yes you count a damage to Medusa's HP, so Fortress belonged to Water.. You cast a Teleport.. Do you understood? Amount of Gnolls..
You can test and learn a new trick:
Advanced
7 Medusas vs 1 Troll..
Hmm is ok that is a lots of Lizards vs 1 War Unicorn..
5 Pegasi vs 1 War Unicorn..
7 Pikemen vs 3 Green Dragon..

The balance between might and magic was better in H1/H2.
Phoenix H2>H3
Archmage H2>H3
Iron golems H2 >> H3
most of the undead units: H2>H3
Where is my catapult artifact in H3?
But the biggest downgrade in H3: Ultimate artifacts >>> that boring grail 
And I don't give a xxxx about balancing between factions. I only play single, weaker factions are just one more way to increase the difficulty.

Homm II mass spells are better
Homm II art is better
Homm II whimsy is better (from art, but also things like backpack full of very unique artifacts, all dragons combined, some units having no upgrades, some having 2, less consistency (like fliers moving across whole map), animals not having riders, and the massively asynchronous gameplay is also very whimsical.)
I also think no wait option is probably better overall, though wait has a lot of advantages. Songs of Conquest gave certain units the ability to wait if I recall correctly, which might be a nice compromise.
I'm also going to give Homm II music a slight edge, though it is close.

I agree about the Barbarian town being better. And for me the Wizard town too...
LordCameron makes good points as well.
And, not a big deal for most, but I liked how in HoMM 2 you could have a captain to defend against a siege if there was no hero present.
The Genies and Ghosts were cool in the first two games. Not sure if "better" but surely more fun as special units 
About the ultimate artifact vs grail, I'm undecided. And Fortress is certainly memorable for me but we all have different tastes.

The wolf grew quite a bit from 3hp(kb)
Boar's aren't meant to be ridden.. it would hurt the rider more

It has but is not that one. Dragonflies are off the chart, best scouting unit and baiting unit.

HOMM 5 something are better
Heroes of Might and Magic 5 has many things like HOMM 3, and also many aspects that are better than HOMM 3, such as creatures not having to go to the battlefield, more skill combinations, and new gameplay, etc.

Suggestions for HOMM 8 Olden Era
It would be even better if new game elements could be added like those in HotA or D2R, but not too many, and the cost for players to relearn was not high, making it easy to get started. It is recommended that the initial version reserve room for subsequent updates, improvements and expansions. If players give positive feedback in the future, we could consider releasing an expansion pack or something like that. It would be great if the smoothness, ease of operation and turn passing speed could all be on par with HotA, and the game wouldn't crash and pop up from time to time.
