Oh yeah I totally agree. Heroes 3 is still one of my favourite games. Yeah with Ubisoft it was always going to be a good game but I always felt like they never managed to emulate the experience of Heroes 3. Maybe it was all the 3D, I think they really went overboard with it.
Well, to me Heroes is an all-time classic, and I had started playing from the 3rd game. Besides, with the touch of Ubisoft, H5 got on a whole new level of variety. I really wished that some creature abilities had tooltips, though.
