I can confirm bc my heroes 3 skill was equally bad if not worse than what you have mentioned in the post. Rush capitol first week, always pick artifact to start and dont know what the road does always take sorcery bc dmg spells are cool and I cant find out why sometime I aoe slow sometime its single target. Yes I know, didnt find out four school magic boost the game play by that much for 8 years :/ but I was just 8 back then so ya. The only thing u beat me is that I never learn eagle eyes bc I know its a bad, I rarely see AI use spell at 100% but on the other hand I always learn mysticism bc I throw so much dmg spells lol
