 Heroes Community - Games Domain Review
The bottom line is that the changes to the HOMM system have produced a game that's a lot more like a fantasy wargame than a strategy boardgame, yet the boardgame origins hold it back and become a liability.
Heroes of Might and Magic is never going to be a 4X fantasy strategy game like Master of Magic, because the fundamental design decisions that made the game so appealing in the first place are antithetical to the kind of open-ended game progression you find in Age of Wonders or the Warlords series.
The game is as 'simple' in its concepts as the previous heroes games.
