Heroes 3. I'm not a fan of the whole 3D thing that started in H5.

IMO, the 3D graphics are the least of their problems or unlearned lessons....
The mechanisms are so H3/H5 alike that I do not feel any difference from Heroes 3, apart from having even fewer things. It's like Heroes 3 with mobile 3D graphics, which is definitely not what is needed. But I can get over that. I'm already used to the graphics.
Another one is the number of factions. This is one of the reasons why the latest installments failed. 6 factions? In 2026??? 7 unique models × 6 factions = 42 unique creature models + ~10 neutrals? In 2026?? Same building system?! Same town screen system (hello? We had Heroes 5 with awesome details in the town screen, and it was never reproduced again by the official owners?) ?? Same class system?? Same battlefield/siege features?? Same adventure map? (Ok, they improved the dialogue system... whateveerrr).
I wanted reforms, new mechanics, new gameplay, not the same things previous installments provided us with, and even better and more accessible from a resource POV. It is too basic, and we already have these games almost 1:1.
For h3 modders, they can focus on stories and small modifications (but even they do a better job than the official owners). But for the official owners, with a team of developers, to do this 1:1 copy of a game that has already been improved by fans is laughable.
I do like the story/lore, though. But even for me, a lore enthusiast, it is not enough. I am far more interested in the VCMI stuff, like new magic schools (as opposed to the 4 magic schools in Olden Era, again, lazy much?), the large mines that provide double resources per day, ~20 new decent factions, a ton of new neutrals, commanders (credits to the WoG team).
So far, I still think that VCMI is the future of the saga. Congrats to the team. Too bad everything moves at a very slow pace because they work for free. I thank them anyway, it's just an observation.

Yeah DD!
The live poll has shown a new number to us.. We don't know what UbiSoft would say.. We hope the live poll is still active.. We can see that AI art has created stunning Heroes 3 graphics.. So AI would make a Heroes 3: Last Man Standing..
