[quote name="fabio"]Tried a little more and it requires a ton of reading on how stuff works. The game might be better than HoMM 6, but not 3. Doesn't help that the mini-map is awful. The main map desperately needs huge obvious icons to identify stuff. Given how much more precise What's really pissing me off is the independent armies. At least the overwhelming neutral armies didn't move around and capture cities in HoMM 5, and it's not like Civ where you can control barbarian spawns with culture borders. It seems like it forces turtling on you since you absolutely can't leave cities lightly defended, even if they're nowhere near enemy players. Independents will just magically spawn out of thin air and take it. The problem is compounded by each unit costing upkeep so production and development is stymied by having to guard against the damn independents.[/quote]
