Survey of Heroes

I'm wondering what you guys like about the Heroes series and what direction(s) you'd like too see it go. Some of these options are fairly similar, and others are kind of opposites. The reason I posted this on the Future of Heroes forum is to guide what kind of topics I will post here. I see a lot of topics about hypothetical creature lineups and I'm wondering where else this forum can go beyond that. So I made a quick survey to gauge it.

Rate these things in order of importance to you personally. (from highest to lowest)

-Game experience provides excitement and anticipation
(unexpected outcomes, memorable moments)

-Players given meaningful options
(you can employ different strategies that may cause your opponents to respond differently)

-Game develops over time
(lots of tiers of creatures, spells, artifacts, heroes, etc.)

-Lots of things to do in the game
(variety of map structures, town upgrades, battles, etc.)

-Gameplay is intuitive and simple
(you can play for a few minutes and get something done, the game is forgiving to weak planning, etc)

-Presentation is fluid
(good graphics, sound, music, and story)

-Product lasts a long time
(there are good tools for generating new content over time, such as map editor or RMG)

I'll start. I'm just going to name the 3 that I feel are most important as I'm more interested in reading other people's answers than discussing my own:
1) Gameplay is intuitive and simple
2) Players given meaningful options
3) Game experience provides excitement and anticipation

How 'bout you?

It would be unfair to have to choose from those, they are equally important in a game like heroes.

Yes, rating can make it look like some of the points are less important than the others and this excuses the less attention that could eventually be be paid to them.

For me the most important thing is atmosphere..
no other game have an atmosphere as strong as in HoMM (particulary HoMM4)
Heroes 5 was weak in this point, so i would love to see Heroes6 different from 5th one
