I don't think so. I played a demo version long ago and it didn't impress me.

And very illogical units. In HOMM2 there is some logic in which units belongs to which faction. None of that in HOMM3.
Btw I don't like the HOMM3 units.

There is some hint inside HOMM2 saying it was already planned but got disabled...

How can it be larger than the screen ? Units are smaller, aren't they ?

HOMM2 extension also has new heroes.
What are the HOMM3 specific skills ?

A lot of them were already not very useful in HOMM2. Worse there, eh ?

And the game is much slower.

HOMM2 musics are good too. Do you have CD tracks of it ?

Did you know that THERE IS a random map generator in HOMM2, too ?
Some versions (like mine) have it disabled (probably was buggy) but try HOMM2 at least V2 on the PC and have a nice day.

I play homm 3.5 too, like Tom256 pointed out. It's homm3 with even more ameliorations, but even the single homm 3.0 is miles ahead of homm2 for me  |
Mile ahead ? For me it's a regression !
Btw isn't there an HOMM4 game on the PC, too ?

Well, convert the x86 code to 68k and we'll see
