replyNot even. I shouldn't have bought the game to begin with, but I was foolishly mislead by promises of a solid return to something more like H3 than H4
... which the combat was, but the AI sucks, and more critically, no map editor! This from a series that's had an almost obscene amount of awesome fan related content created for it.
Ignoring that, the multiplayer options and maps were a complete trainwreck - I wasted many hours in the past playing Heroes with friends on a lan, taking turns stomping around the world, but this game had forced fixed starting locations, forced alliances, and a paltry number of included maps (and again, no map editor!)
That plus some annoying performance issues (in a turn based strategy game, awesome), and a fiddly annoying camera added up to a lot of no fun.
Beautiful graphics, and the factions and especially tactical combat are very solid, but the other issues are just too annoying.
Now they're trying to shovel out an expansion before they even finish patching the main product? I'll pass, thanks.
