heroes of might and magic 7 vs age of wonders 3

I'll stop here and let you guys continue. This might be improved in future DLCs or expansions of the game. There is almost no need to build magic guilds in more than two or max three towns. Setback-1) The number of spells per school in Heroes VII is too low. It makes moving around a little bit more interesting since you will like to try to flank your enemy while not being flanked yourself. Improvement-4) The new battle mechanic with flanking is nice. Heroes VII has an option to make skill picks random (haven't tried it yet) so it seems to me that it covers both preferences and that is a good thing. I like to be able to plan out the advancements of my heroes and thus like the predictable skill wheel much better. Improvement-3) In Heroes III what skill you get to pick from is random. It prevent resource sites to change sides individually, thus you can focus on defending your towns and not all the individual resource sites. Improvement-2) The area of control introduced in Heroes VI is in my opinion a huge improvement. This prevents a lot of save-before-battle-and-see-how-it-goes-oops-reload-and-try-again moments which are necessary in Heroes III. Heroes III does not have any tooltip or help when you are about to attack another unit.

I'll start with what I feel are improvements over Heroes III, and then continue with what I feel are setbacks compared to Heroes III: For this discussion, let's forget the bad release of the game and the remaining bugs, and focus on game-play mechanics. What is it specifically that makes this game so bad? I am enjoying it a lot and think it is a huge improvement compared to Heroes III HD (the only version I can play on Window 10).

Like the game is bad or worse than its predecessors. I have read a lot of negative criticism about Heroes VII, but often fairly vague.
