    A lot of the same, but nothing remotely new, which, with this title, is not such a bad thing.

    And while the campaigns are challenging and engaging, it comes down to the fact that it’s really just more of the same. Then again, if it isn’t broken, why fix it?

    Tragically short of some fundamental or at least far-reaching updates, this title will only be of any real interest to the hardest of hardcore Heroes fans.

    Extremely similar to the previous games, but if you care more about the series' engaging turn-based gameplay and colorful presentation, you'll find enough in Winds of War to keep you busy for some time.

    Offers enough value to justify its purchase. However, it does not improve the original game, and only fixes some balancing issues that were introduced by the first expansion.

    The additions are more serviceable than inspiring. [June 2003, p.87]

    For a campaign it's a ok DLC, but very average.
    Major flaw is that they add only a few new units without new castles... What ?
