For example, you'll only encounter Ogre Magi guarding objects on the map or in pre-determined armies, but almost never in troops of your multiplayer opponent, just like venom spawns, Nagas or Minotaurs. Many creatures and tactics are never used. The patches corrected those, but, unfortunately, they stopped there.Įven now, the game, scripting engine, and artifacts are still plagued with bugs.
Of course, players noticed them, but hoped that developers would at least fix the global problems.
While gamers were complaining about lack of multiplayer, memory glitches and such, less important issues were not well accounted for. Also, 2 official add-ons came out, which contained a little bit more than just patches to versions 2.0 and 3.0 respectively: new creatures and artifacts. Patch to version 1.2, then to 1.3, to 2.0, next to 2.2 and finally 3.0.
There has been 5 offical patches that solved various problems. That resulted in many fans of Heroes series returning to play Heroes III. It had quite poor AI, missing mulitplayer mode (in the beginning only Hot Seat was functional), continuous memory leaks and crashes during the game which made it run slow even on some powerful machines, absence of a combat grid, wrong descriptions of some artifacts and many more issues arose. Heroes of Might and Magic IV game was developed in a hurry, and rushed to the stores too early.
