Love both games, played the franchises for thousands of hours. Sadly, HoMM 3 lost it's original development team and it makes the huge damage to the Heroes legacy. Compare it with Age of Empires 2, that gets updated with new civilizations, maps and cool stuff from the development for decades.
Of course, there are fun modes that do a huge impact, but still it's because of a giant community. What if Olden Era team gets HoMM 3 in their hands? Or could someone make a HoMM 3 inspired game in real time strategy setting... Imagine mix of Age of Empires: build base, area control, huge fights etc. Share your opinions!
