What I don't understand is why are you bringing this "unit choice" thing into the conversation in the first place. And by the way if I don't like the units, I can blame them as much as I want. I'll never claim that my opinion about them is the Holy Truth or, to use your expression, a "fact".

this has gotten progressively worce with h4 and h5. besides if you run it on a new rig it crashes. maybe you would not know seeing as you have to compare to pre 2005 machines.
Heroes V has the worst and the slowest AI in the series, who's disputing that? Are we still talking about Heroes III? As for the rest - my current PC is some 2 years old, the config can easily run recent games like Skyrim, The Witcher 2, etc. on high settings, it has a 64-bit Windows 7 on it. Heroes III Complete has crashed for me only once or twice for these two years. And seriously - a 1999 game not made fully compatible with operating systems released 8-10 years later? What were the devs thinking?!

I don't need screenshots, I have the game installed and I can see the pixels. I can't say the same about your point.

SO just few notes on the topic
For those that say H3 is stable. My original copie crashes my PC in the matter of minutes (hope it is a problem of My machine) but it happens.
For Those who dislike pixelgraphics. All is made in pixels, we just make a lot more of them at this time. And the difference here is if you like more hnad drawne art, or realistic art. (or 2D or 3D)
And now on the ropic of some designe choicec
5 towns -> why not. better the have the same lineup over and over agein. My nect wish, a vanila gae wihtout a humon faction.
4 resources -> Well implemented change. I like that it makes you think and use more mechanics (market place). Also, if a map is well made, you have a need for atleast 1 resource every time of the game (The gold income should be reduced)

you may not like my way of logic but it is certainly not flawed in the way you are trying to show. i can once again redirect to strawmanning wich seems to be all the new hype.

exactly wich is why it is a choice of preferrance that will make you favor ether h3 or any other heroes for that matter thank you for proving my point.

The question is however if you are still running Heroes 3 in original condition. but when a game cant be played normaly becouse it crashes that dous make for a bad game. windows 7 tends to make the game crash alot.

The heroes 6 Graphics are better you may not like the art style but they are better. more shiny more detailed more frames ebber edges.
now better graphics dont meen a better game by default. but if you put h3 directly opposite of h6. the graphics are simply no match.

Well it's not like Ubi is any better.
But maybe they intend to change their approach, who knows?

FWIW, I'd take H3's 2D graphics and presentation (AS IS) over the modern 3D graphics and presentation of H5/H6 any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

And I would take H5-ToT without a doubt. Don't know why they call its graphics cartoonish. None of them are cartoonish for me except for Slayer. There also are many cartoonish units in H3.

Artwork is artwork and simply a matter of aesthetics. But there's a functional aspect to 2D vs. 3D, and I think 2D presentation is far superior for a TBS game with board-game like style.

Well, what's that function that 3D lacks and 2D has?
I always prefer 3D game-play in games except for fighting games. It must have 2D gameplay but 3D graphics like SF4 and MK9. But in every other game type, 3D is my preferance.

I guess it's a matter of oppinion also, but I never really understood the fuss over H5's 3D. 99 % of the time, I just had the camera locked in traditional north/south position, and it didn't really make any difference from a 2D game, so I don't understand why some people found it to be a major problem.

3D severely limits the adventure map capabilities. Just think about an XL map in H3 vs H5. The ultimate solution would be, IMHO the H3 adv. map with full 3D battlefields like in H5-H6, but that's probably never going to happen.

I don't know about you, but if the view I have from my car when driving passed suddenly to full 3D I would find it rather dangerous and annoying. Same for Heroes games, I never could adapt to all those rotating cameras, why? Does you strategy gets better or more options come to your mind if you see your hero also from back side?

Because 3D serves no functional purpose - it's mere distracting eye candy, put in there because there's the expectation that modern games need to be 3D. It's superfluous and unnecessary. Functionally, what does 3D add to the game? If it adds nothing, why is it there? The game can still be beautifully rendered in 2D, so the aesthetic argument isn't really tenable.

Ehm ... ISN'T the view from your car 3D? The world I live in certainly seems to be 3D.
Rotating cameras ... That's a different story. Keep them fixed, if you don't like it.

I loved the rotating Camera's btw. During my first H6 battle I tried several times to change the perspective, but sadly, it didn't work. I love that feature ;__;
