There is one major problem I have with HOMM 5 and it's that some of the scenarios (single player) don't seem to be well balanced. In particular, the one scenario that made me shelve the game until a later date involves defending 5 or so border gates at the same time. You aren't allowed to go beyond the gates where enemy heroes are running around building up their armies etc. Problem is, you don't know where they are going to strike first/next, aren't entirely sure when they will start attacking and you lose the scenario if you lose 2 of them IIRC.
This makes your mission pretty damn hard since you are dealing with limited resources. You can reinforce the gates but you can't know which ones to focus on.
