Heroes 4 plusses!! I like it more in multi!!
I am currently playing a game with Poelzi in Austria, me in California. Playing on Gamespy, I have 56k, He has cable. Ping was 537 last time I looked and I was not optimistic....
I expected Poe to host with his cable connection but he said that the slower connection should host!
Playing Barbarian Duels, no computer player.
This is playing just as fast as Heroes 3! I am a happy man!!
The save game with password is awesome! You both need to enter password to open the save up!!
The Thieves guild is very cool! It will almost eliminate trainer players cause it's realtime! If the guy adds a few Dragons or something for a tough fight you can see it go up and down on the Army strength.
I complained a lot in the past about this game but now I am sorry. They did a LOT of good things that only show up in Multi.
Anyway, I wanted to post a thread saying that I have been converted! Heroes 4 rules!

Ditto that Cragster!
I have been sucked in to MP, and it is fantastic.
So much to learn, and its alot of fun.
I found it a little slower than h3..but mainly because i have no idea what everything does.
Map size is not comparable to H3 IMO. seems like a M map, plays like a L H3 map. It takes a while to get where you need to go.
And no more chaining, that is fantastic.

there was a missunderstanding :-)
the one with the slower computer should host, cauz the computer turns would be calculated not on the host but on the last player.
the connection speed does not count, regardless which connection u have, sending and recieving can only as fast as the slowest connection (my cable can recieve only at 56k speed from craig cauz he can not sent faster anyway, and i can not send faster cauz craig can not recieve more than his bandwidth)
please ppl read the readmeīs. this is covered in the multiplayer.txt which gets installed with the patch

Some people just take a single player heroes 4 with no patch for half a yr & say oh this game sucks but once they made thier mind thats it.
What they fail to see is that heroes 4 multi is a new gaming exp.
Fun facter is at least by 80% I keep telling people in zone that even for me single players sucks arse but Multi is just a whole new game

When it came out, I played H4 multiplayer (hot-seat) with a good opponent. Itīs true that I didnīt have any patches, but the reason why I disliked the game wasnīt the bugs. Bugs can be fixed.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the old H3 game, for beginners and veterans, is the build-up. By use of gold and resources, a small village was slowly turned into a huge castle.
In H3, you basically have three paths:
1) Creatures dwellings -> upgraded level 7
2) Gold production -> Capitol
3) Mage Guild -> Mage Guild level 5
... all of them becoming gradually more and more expensive, at the top requiring among other things 10000(+) gold or more than 50 precious resources.
If we leave out all kinds of special buildings and certain town specifics, in a regular game with Tavern and level 1 dwelling prebuilt this resulted in
1) 13
2) 7 (Town Hall to Capitol with MG 1 ignored)
3) 5
13+7+5=25 different building steps.
What do we have in H4? The income can be raised from 500 to 1000. Level 2, 3 and 4 creature dwellings must be built. Weīre done, resources are not needed anymore and traded for gold (or kept back in hope of finding a second castle).
Just one aspect of the new game that I find very dissatisfying and broken beyond repair.

I find more strategy in H4 than H3..but maybe cause I feel I mastered H3? aside from my opponent, every aspect of H3 I found simple after 3-4 years of playing it.
I somewhat agree with Lews about the building...but the other aspects about H4 that I like greater outweigh the building to me.
I have to admit tho..Im not highly addicted to H4 as I was to H3 when it was out, but I blame it on me having less free time and havin to pass up playing when i only have about 3 hours free
