Which campaign is the hardest?

>> No.5813718

>>5813558
Well, if anything HOMM2 seems much harder than HOMM3. Or maybe I simply suck at this game. I am notoriously running out of cash, my armies are getting destroyed by ridiculously big stacks of neutrals and enemy AI is aggressive as fuck. And I thought I have HOMM series figured out after playing god knows how many hours of HOMM3.

I love the pixel art unit graphics. Beast HOMM3's fuzzy scans and renders any day.

Never understood why 3 > 2 became an accepted fact all of a sudden, I always thought 2 is better and I love 3. I also hate how 1 never gets any love.

My exact thought the second I first saw HOMM3. It's still a great game but graphically it looks like shit compared to HOMM2

For me 2 is simply a much better realized game. HOMM 1 was very wonky in its execution. It's good for what it is, but I would never pick it over 2 or 3. It didn't age that well I think.
Also, I wasn't a big fan of HOMM1 graphics. HOMM2 hit that sweet spot of fairytalesque and "serious" fantasy. HOMM1 units looked childish in comparison.

The second mission of Wizard's Isle campaign is also hard if you don't use exploits.

By the virtue of the online scene, modder attention and wealth of downloadable maps, as well as being instantly recognizable, most likely.

I think 3>2 in general, but I return to both games all the same, so whatever.

Retarded Russians for one. I mentioned HoMM2 to a russkie once and he went apeshit about how ugly the art style is compared to 3 because its "generic fantasy" while HoMM3 is "grounded"
