So SP is way to go for this series, but something new would be nice : Death match - PvP match in arena, prior what players have same choice of gold/runes/units/spells/items and test against each other their tactics/ideas. making whole campaign MP would be disaster, but this kind of matches should be enjoyable i think.

Arenas would be cool I admit.

You said there is no need to make this in some kind of HoMM clone, but here you list : maintaining castle, hiring units to defend against attacking enemy (what attacking enemy) , wandering heroes (what if wander in your path to main quest and get you stuck with 15 more lvl then you, and army 5 times larger, because it simply wasnt planed for you 2 to meet that early in game), taxes form new areas (when you discover new area there are much treasure lying around, more enemy to defeat=gold, quests = gold) so i ask why adding taxes on top of all that? (if you mentioned mines of gems, and mercury laboratory i would get suspicious about references to simmilar game with h.o.m.m. letters in it`s title).
There are many options to improve game (every mod i played tougth me that), it just question of who will be fan enough to sit and make it happen

You're just trying to find faults in my ideas. I'm sure you would know solutions to those problems even yourself.
