KB is single player rpg - heroes are TBS. if you want AI opponents go play TBS game. but to say that KB lacks AI opponents is like saying that Duke Nukem 3d lacks castle building

Of course there are important differences but I find them to be quite similar games. KB blurs the line between RPG and TBS and fighting which is by far the most important aspect of the game is purely TBS. The riding around on horses gathering resources and buffing stats; the spell mechanics are all very similar and castles are quite reminiscent but without the building of them ,etc. I think KB improved on HOMM but it is the closest game to HOMM that I know of.
