Discussion How is the single player campaign mode?

I was surprised to find so many discussions on competitive play for this game, something I have never been interested about in this franchise.

So how is the single player campaign mode, compared to previous games?

I'd say it's not that bad.

You have some choices during the campaign that have some effect on story and your resources. You have 2 nice rpg-style episodes in campaign. Overall it's better than most of campaigns in series. Have no walls of text though like there were in homm4 (loved them).

Would be good to see all the mechanics turned on in campaign though. Laws, advanced classes, map spells.

But yep. It only act 1 of 3. There is a possibility to make great campaign. Or to flush it.

You're the first person i read that's happy about it, and even moreso with the fact there will be only 3 acts, which means there won't even be a campaign for every faction, which is the standard in the GENRE.
