Oh and the tablet version crashes to desktop if you try to attack a ballista with a melee unit... Sheesh. Those can be annoying!
"Loving it so far. I miss the Conflux and combo artifacts about as much as I expected (i.e. not at all).

Not missing the munchkin artifacts of the SoD expansion. I might be a veteran player, but SoD, after a while, stopped being fun and became a mad race against the AI.
"I'm so happy to find out that Heroes III is still as relevant as it was back in 1999. Despite the crude animations, it still looks quite fine and most importantly, it's still a lot of fun."

I think it's the complexity and yet simplicity of the game, and that the graphics are colorful and the designs simple yet interesting. Something that Ubi has yet to grasp - creatures should have a simple, unadorned design that you can embellish in smaller details maybe, but not over-do just because you have the CPU speed to make it happen - we are doing overhead battles, they have to look recognizable from above.regarding the below - check this screen: https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0004/p ... _1_HUD.jpg What can you tell about who is battling whom? Little colorful blobs with big number tags... In HOMMIII you could see which unit was which easily.
