the homm3 and homm5 both look very good. I picked homm5 though due to the prettier graphics. :D

Homm4 looks horrible. I don't see the connectin with inferno at all.

Damn WC3 graphics. Damn Blizzard. Any other game/company and no one would say it looked good. :disagree:

Tis true that I love blizzard-style graphics. Honestly I will admit that all blizzard games are very dated and could definitely use a boost in graphics. However, the art style and the excellent blizzard support is what made them the gaming company they are today.

I'm not fond of the old heroes art to be honest and nival in that sense is taking a step in the right direction. Anyways heroes 5 did quite well for itself and I partially believe its due to the new art direction they took.


Although with their current level of support I think their expansion will sell significantly less copies. I mean how can you sell a game that brags about multiplayer then doesn't offer promised simultaneous turns. So now we have to wait until the expansion to have a playable multiplayer? Oh great...

Though blizzard has an interesting style,though SC looks amazing even now,and WC is great,this is not something that is transferable to other games.Especially not heroes.

SC still looks good. WC3 never did. I liked the game and really didn't care untill everyone else started copying it. Badly.

I'm going with H3. Even though the H5 Inferno is visually stunning, the buildings are too plain and similar to each other. The overabundance of fiery elements is also something that makes Inferno less appealing, to me at least.

I can hardly consider the H4 candidate as an Inferno candidate, since it's mixed with the Death element. The devil building is great, though.

H5 wins here. H3's inferno has too many building styles, and H4's just look terrible, like all the town screens in H4 (not to mention, I don't know what they were thinking putting inferno and necropolis in the same town - what a dumb idea).

Voted Heroes III

Really, it's the original Heroes Inferno and very hellish. Too bad Heroes IV mixed the Necro & Inferno alignments. And I just don't like the Heroes V one at all.

Heroes 5 got the picture of what I was thinking of a hell-like town - in the hell. Although H3 was nice indeed, if we take of the Grail, it loses most of its touch (IMHO!), while H5 seemed like hell all the time, and structures go well with the main building.

Heroes 4.... :disagree: *taking a big desperated breath :drama:*

Heroes 3, no question. Heroes 5 Inferno looks monotonic, the buildings are impossible to distinguish. Heroes 4 doesn't even count.

Would also like to know what the special necropolis unit in the necropolis army you see is :D

i know its scripts, but those 2 looks good :D so maybe you got a link or something?^^
