You never know. But here is where we have the clash between Greek and Hindu Mythology: the Medusa/Gorgons and the Nagas, respectively. I think they would make a fine team :D .

Hmm, I suppose you're right. So long as the 7th lvl unit is a huge fucking Naga :D

What's so cool about those? I never seem to understand why some people are so crazy about Nagas...

You know, I can't honestly explain why I like the naga's. They just really appeal to me.

See here and here for some examples.

Yes,but we still have to click on windmills every week :devil:

No,she was one of the three gorgons,the three sisters.

1. The Fog of War. Losing it is a big loss indeed to the Scouting tree.

One more thing I'm glad to have back:

1. Capitols. Having to contend with 1000 gold / turn in Heroes IV wasn't the best thing and it slowed down the building of castles. Besides, it sure looks nice to have your flag flying high above your capital.

Yes,but it was compensated by really low market prices.Im not really thrilled that they are as ridiculous now as in HIII.Besides,in HIV we had lords that added quite a lot to economy.

I agree. They are awesome creatures. Both cool in appearance and conceptually, strong, and enemies couldn't retaliate against them (at least not against the upgraded version and the Heroes IV version. They always were well worth their price, and very cool to have, too.

More things:

1. Though I've yet to reach the Dungeon campaigns (slow, I know) there appears much more power in Destructive Magic compared to the other magic trees. This is definitely an improvement.
2. Marketplace :) DaemianLucifer pointed out just how useful the Heroes IV Marketplace can be. The Heroes III / V versions just cost way too much gold.
3. Flaggable Windmills / Water Wheels, etc. This is something Heroes IV has over Heroes V. It greatly reduces the micromanagement and saves time between turns.
4. Ability to use creatures alone as an army, another thing Heroes IV has that Heroes V does not. This aids greatly in early-game exploration and (at least for Heroes IV) allows you to use two heroes in an army as soon as possible.
5. Much more powerful war machines is an improvement for Heroes V.

Mod note: One thing I won't miss is all the spam that was deleted right now. Keep on topic, folks.

Fog of war and the barbarian town are the two things I miss the most. Though I'm thrilled with the simultaneous turns, not how I would have implemented it, but it's better than before.

More importantly,this liminates chaining and forces you to carefully plan deployment of your armies to the front lines.

Heroes V HoF lacks dwellings for neutral creatures (such as Death Knights, Wolves, Manticores and so on).

I miss sea decorations. There needs to more stuff to spice up the water with.

I would like to see the barbarian town brought back too.

Simultaneous retaliation.

GOW
Simultaneous retaliation would be the thing i miss the most,since i lost hope they will ever again reconsider adding heroes back to battlefield like in h4

all other posts shows how much good improvements are in h4

creatures without hero on the adventure map was also good idea,imo
