King's Bounty Vs Heroes V

[Gatts]

Homm V
+ Multiplayer
+ map editor
+ random map generator
+ various level up/hero scenarios, interesting skill tree
+ many maps available download
+ you can create maps that would exactly meet your player / skill level (as soon I thought I have exploited all hidden bonuses and found a way how to use them on full extend -> I just created DUEL MAP where I enjoy how AI is stuck before 300 black dragons and I could defeat them with minimum loses... still I fear that HOMM V AI cheats somehow... if AI hero defeats a very difficult stack, I realize he bears minimum loses)
- balanced

- You may spend more time in map creator, instead of playing the game
- scenarios are quite linear, as you find out when and what army will pop up before your main hero -> you just reload few turns before and you can totally prepare
- campaign can looks like too difficult for starters, boring for second time players
- apart of general balance - if you are lucky, you get the right spells with the right skills and you rule... you can defeat 20x stronger enemy neutral stacks 10x stronger enemy heroes...5x stronger enemy human player (artefact that negates all mind imunities, frenzy + control, you cast frenzy on one unit, control mind on another, blind also is good combo -> so even if enemy hero may counteract with dispell, you can level up your hero that she will cast faster/quicker/more often than enemy hero - you won the map
- town portal can't be exploited -> blame me - I have reported due beta test, that if you place heroes the castles you don't want teleport to, town portal will bring you to the nearest empty castle (like cheating) now if you place hero in the nearest castle - town portal does not work at all

I played HOMM V for a long time... but it is because I could create mapst to my likings... I have finished only one campaign and found it boring (but I am not campaign guy at all - I didn't like any campaign, since Homm 2, where I loved to play first for good, then evil, than for only evil for ever and ever
