Qurqirish Dragon, whenever you start H4 you're probably seeing the Winds of War main screen for H4 (not the mention that the Winds of War title theme plays at the background). The WoW main menu & title music are actually worse than vanilla H4's main menu & title music. I highly recommend cha...

Nope, I have an ATi card. I know that many prefer Omega drivers, but I'm currently using Catalyst 6.12, and trust me, these drivers work surprisingly well.

My Top 5: (in no particular order)

* Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings

* Civilization III (much better than Civ IV's intro)

* Diablo II

* Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

* FIFA 99

For those people who have frame rate issues with H5, I recommend installing a different set of drivers for your video card (uninstall your current drivers first). H5 seems to be very sensitive to video card drivers. Recently, I tried playing H5 with the latest drivers (for my video card), but surpri...

I was disappointed with Heroes V and I stopped playing it a long time ago, but to be honest, I'd imagine it would be a good game to recommend to people who have never played a HoMM game before. Heroes V would give them a general idea of the series.

What..? In all previous games you could guess. Even in the case of same speed units if you had played a bit. What was unexpected was the extra action due to good morale ;) Yes, but still, there were times (albeit rare) when you were not 100% certain. And there is no initiative bar in previous games...

This is probably just me, but I didn't like the new initiative system and that initiative bar. Sure, that bar is quite useful and fits well in H5, but it took away the "surprise" element to a certain extent. In previous games there were some times when I couldn't guess who would take the n...

Prince of Persia (1989) - It was a brilliant game at its time. Definite classic, no question. Prince of Persia 2 - It was graphically nice, but frustratingly hard. Overall, it was a decent game, but nowhere near the original. Prince of Persia 3D - Haven't played it. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Ti...

Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with ThunderTitan. Heroes IV is by no means a perfect game, but it brought fresh new ideas to the series and it was a step forward, really. Disregarding these changes is purely conservatism IMO.

Besides, I'd take Gauldoth's story over any other HoMM story any day.

On a side note, I just wanted to add that Heroes IV is not a "real 3D" game. The graphics are all pre-rendered 3D, so you don't necessarily need a "good" 3D graphics card to play it.
