Who balanced this?
User Rating: 6 | Heroes of Might and Magic V (Limited Edition DVD) PC
I suppose this game is okay. It looks fine. Unfortunately, it isn't balanced at all. Destruction magic is highly overpowered, especially when put in the hands of the computer. When it takes 40 or 50 turns to recover your units after a major battle, the whole experience becomes one of drudgery and boredom as you wait for the week to pass to recruit enough units to fight in the next slaughter. The computer also seems like it is cheating in terms of how many units it gets and its heroes. For instance, one spell by the computer's "warlock" can destroy 25 of 75 units that have a fairly good defense. This isn't enjoyable, at least not to me. I'm up for a challenge but single shot cheese like this makes me want to quit to desktop and not ever play it again. I like the concept but the implementation leaves something to be desired. xxxx xxxx xxx xxx xx xx xx xx xx
