Whereas in HoMM you'd have just 1 stack of 6 Swordsmen. in AoW a Swordsman counts as 1 unit, if you want 6 of them then your Hero's entire roster will be 6 stacks of 1 Swordsman each. Combat is totally different since the field of battle is huge and you don't stack units in AoW like you do in HoMM. Things are vastly different in AoW compared to HoMM. then you go and capture other people's towns. That said Age of Wonders is similar in the sense that you have Towns you use them to make buildings and Troops. Personally, I prefer HoMM 3 over 5 simply because I liked the Lore/Factions/Units in 3 moreso than 5. The rest, especially the latest ones, are just not that good. Heroes III and Heroes V are, IMO, the only good ones in the series. There aren't all that many games that have done fantasy turn based strategy very well, but III and V does it very well.

Standard boilerplate legaltext: Everything in this post is of course just my personal subjective opinion, keep that in mind if my post ignites a burning desire to tell me how wrong I am. That's not really saying much though.Īlso I disagree with above poster that the praise of the series is just because of nostalgia goggles. It is at least not quite as buggy and bad as 6. Some say Heroes 7 is better, but I haven't really enjoyed it that much, myself. Steer the heck away from Heroes 6, broken buggy game on all levels. Which is a shame because V is easily my favourite in the HoMM series. Its barely playable for me still but framerate can drop into single digits, which obviously isn't very enjoyable. And by modern I mean anything after Windows Vista. I would recommend HoMM V, again with the expansions, unfortunately it has severe performance issues on modern operating systems. If you want to test it out though I think the classic complete version is the way to go instead of the HD remake on Steam, which only has the base game with none of the expansions. HoMM 3 is a really old game that has aged pretty well, imo.
