I got HOMM4 two days ago and started quickly. The case you noticed is really true; magic is much more important in HOMM4. Instead in my opinion might was changing everything in HOMM3. lots of changes I only can see...

You want Might? Well I don't think you're going to find it in HOMM4. Things like Might and popularity seem to come and go with the even and odd numbers. HOMM1 was not very might-based, nor spell-based. It was sort of based on strategy more than anything. HOMM2 was a little less mighty, but got a lot of attention. HOMM3 was very mighty and too easy. HOMM3 was slightly less liked than HOMM2. Now that we're at HOMM4, it's based on using both might and magic effectively. It is th only TRULY balanced game of all the Heroes games.

Even though HOMM4 is more balanced than all the other HOMM installments. I am still inclined to think that might rules.
This is due to the fact that only heroes (and maybe farie dragons and genies) can cast the really useful spells. Even if you have two lvl 58 archmagi's, if you have a weak army and come up against an army based on might your heroes aren't going to be enough to win the battle.
I think that no matter what 3DO or NWC or whoever do, they can never totally balance the might and magic in HOMM installments - as the might will always be that much better than magic.

Don't insult magic Ghost_of_LordTitan! Do you remember "Armageddon"? Now THAT was a powerful spell! Looked realy stupid in HOMM3 though. I haven't seen it in HOMM4 yet, although that may be because I haven't built the Sorcerer's Guild Level 5 as of now.
Speaking of powerful spells, is Elemental Storm back? It was one of my favourite spells in HOMM1 and 2.
