It was interesting. Had a roleplay vibe to it, although I personally could never really get into it. So I just stick with Heroes III. Big Grin

What is your favorite part about it?
Two things: campaigns and campaign editor.

The Heroes of Might and Magic IV campaigns have some of the best stories I've ever played in a video game. Characters are well-developed with compelling personalities and back stories, especially Gauldoth in the Half-Dead campaign and that girl from the Pirate's Daughter campaign. The plots of each campaign have powerful themes and are extremely thought-provoking, with special regard to Price of Peace. Whoever wrote all the text is a genius, with arguably the storytelling abilities equal to many other great fantasy authors, and should be a novelist.

The campaign editor for IV is also very powerful, it's almost like its own game-making engine. There are some scenarios made for IV with insanely difficult battles or extremely innovative plot and gameplay design. Properly made maps in IV can feel like games straight out of RPG Maker.

III was a very fun game as well. I especially liked the difficulty of its AI (which is known to be cheating and aggressive) as well as the largely orchestrated soundtrack, with special mention towards the battle themes as well as some of the castle factions. I did feel, however, that the stories of its campaigns were vastly inferior to IV's and all boiled down to the old Life faction vs. Death faction theme. The Complete edition had some more intriguing scenarios and campaigns, specifically the battles against Sandro. I thought that his story was a lot more interesting than the original campaigns about the restoration of Erathia. Armaggedon's Blade expansion also had a very interesting campaign, Dragon Slayer, which is famed for its fucktarded difficulty.
