Default to HoMM fans
Do Russians do anything but play rip offs of old American games 15 years after the fact?

That explains why the HOMM franchise got killed.

Don't even know what King's Bounty is.

And yes, HOMM was killed. 5 was so bad...

Bullsh!t. The original Jon Van Caneghem's King's Bounty was better than Homm-1,2,3,4 and 5 combined. And Russians brought back King's Bounty its former glory. KB: the Legend and esp. the add-on KB: the Armored Princess is better than any HoMM game.

HOMM II with the expansions (ie, SOD) is the best.

HOMM III has crap factions.

HOMM II has the best scenarios by far, and they are way better then the HOMM III scenarios. IV and V were abominations.

The new KB is ok, but again, it's single player, so I'd rank the new KB below HOMM I.

HoMM2

V was ok, but a bit fiddly.

Serb, I'm not saying KB:Legend was a bad game, I think it's better than the original Kings Bounty, and I think it's superior to HOMM IV (which was crap) and HOMM V, which was somewhat better than IV.

I'd rank em:

HOMM II
HOMM III
HOMM I, (if only for the Jester on Insane difficulty!)
KB: The Legend
KB:
HOMM V
HOMM IV

The games really aren't that different from one another.

You capture better buildings for kickass units in Kings Bounty. It's one of the more important features.

And I think I'm aware that King's Bounty was first, I mean you dig for the ultimate artifact!

I think we can all agree HOMM2 was the best. The Russian version, HOMM5 was the worst (synonymous with 'Russian' these days anyway).

The online version should be even worse.

HoMM3 (with expansions) was the greatest. HoMM2 was very good. HoMM4 was ****. All others are unknown to me.

It needs new ideas of some sort, perhaps more RPG elements, perhaps something else.
Two new games of King's Bounty series already have that. Especially the last game King's Bounty: the Armored Princess.

I've played the new King's Bounty games, and they're good, but not compelling. If I happen to be bored and start playing, I generally have a good time. But I don't find myself sitting around at work thinking about the game. A compelling game gets into your head so that everything is viewed in the prism. Play too much Tetris and you'll start seeing falling blocks everywhere you go. KB just doesn't do that.

Side note: Why doesn't the spell check recognize Tetris by default?
