Do you want a normal game, or a great one (like AB by your definition)?
This one's easy to anser. Who doesn't love great games? So do I, and I still haven't ordered GS or WoW. But I am considering to get WoW though. For one that doesn't have GS, WoW includes 7 new creatures, new artifacts, some new structures and improved mapmaking features. And a new campaign obviously for those who like that. That sounds good enough to me, or doesn't it?

The HOMM community seems divided about HOMM4 as it is. Some like it, some hate it. It would take a VERY good expansion to restore the faith of those who don't like it.
This is unfortunately a fact. There are the ones who don't like heroes 4, there are the ones who play both (like I do), and then the ones who solely play heroes 4. I don't think another expansion will solve this as well. The heroes community needs a heroes V to bring everyone back together. A heroes 5 that takes the best out of all previous games in the series and adds a good number of new things too.

Oh and by the way, some of your suggestions in sarcasm mode are actually not far off from what 3DO originally intended to include as the Forge town for AB. Especially the zombies with chain saws, and the creatures with grenade launchers. Ironic isn't it?
I know  That's why I included those zombies, hehe. Imagine that lol, grenadelaunchers and chainsaws in heroes. It's a pity that NWC is not that little company anymore it used to be. I guess there's a price for success. Someone ought to post the Altar of Wishes on one of 3do's forums some time. I hope they keep in touch with the actual players of their game, and not only talk to investors anymore. I really hope that.

I'm going to wait until homm5 hits the stores.
Then I will buy the last expansion of homm4(one that maybe is still unown to us, or maybe WOW)...
Aren't you afraid that they will release another expansion with another amount of creatures and some other things + the things of WOW and the other expansion???
I think they will stop with making new expansions when homm5 hits the marked and then start to make expansions for the new homm5.

=> Well, if WoW includes all the features from TGS (except the maps/campaigns included in that expansion) then I'll probably buy WoW. (I have considered TGS but think it's too little for the money in it.)
My question is... Do we have any confirmation/statement about the TGS features being included in WoW?
The only indication I've seen is a building called "Goblin Armory" on one of the screenshots and this might be a TGS dwelling(?) (Or perhaps the missed map location to recruit Goblin Knights.)

I'm not too sure about that.. the 4 new creatures in TGS were only in the campaigns for that enemy wizard dude to control. Since they weren't recruitable, and I don't expect him to make a return in WoW, will those 4 creatures really be useful in WoW? Unless of course, they make creature generators for them.

Yes. I think it is a missing strucyure from TGS. And There is a Catapult's dwelling too. Look in the upper left corner of this screenshot and you'll find a very similar buiding to Ballista yard. (Look In the fog territory)

Somewhere, someone mentioned that Winds of War will include a new soundtrack. The box of The Gathering Storm advertises a new soundtrack as well. Will the WoW soundtrack only be new for people without TGS, or is 3DO composing new music for each and every expansion? Did the Heroes 3 expansions include new soundtracks?
Just a thought: You'd think 3DO would save the title/acronym "WoW" for an Armageddon's Blade-size expansion rather than a normal one like this.

but... This is only an expansion, not a new series.
Like in SoD there were only 2 new tracks.
In AB there were 6 Campaign musics and 1 town music that's all.

In H2 Price of Loyalty, they did a new opera theme in each castle! It was amazing. Now THAT's doing a lot of work. Not just 1 new title track.

I just wish they had in Heroes IV a couple of different town songs playing instead of one every time. It gets monotonous so fast

Time has passed ( ) and I now think that H3 music isn't very good. IMHO, in H4 it's even better, partly because of the opera. But in my opinion, the best music in the series was in H2, so if they make something like that again, this would be enough reasons to buy WoW for me.
