Is this the HoMM-like game with most unit variety there is? It is quite catchy indeed.
Heh. I have great/bad news.
Great news first. There is very good mod for original Eador called New Horizons. It's balanced, has decent graphics that blends with original game very well (I was very surprised actually), has tons of new content of great quality: units, items, abilities, spells, events, races, pictures, tweaks etc. It's like massive content expander for the original game without loss of quality. "Must have" thing for anyone who likes original game, total conversion actually. And it has some patch to alter campaign but I didn't try this patch yet, or campaign.
Bad news. I don't know if there is an English version or plan of translation - I'm playing like there's no tomorrow right now. Again

This sounds like something that would make me consider getting MoTBW (i've been sticking to Genesis so far).
I just wish they would make some kind of tiered system for the random events.
Having a province attacked by a Troll, a bunch of Harpies, or finding an epic item very early, impact your game too much and promotes savescumming.
We've all done it, don't lie!
Proof that the AI doesn't actually follow the same rules as the player, or even "play" the game for that matter.- AI building three shipyards in one province.

Well, it's two games, depending on the difficulty.
On lower difficulties, it's a poor man's HoMM/AoW/etc. - you'll get bored of it very quickly. Not much variety to look forward to once you've completed your first big map.
On higher difficulties (expert and above), it's ... very hard for a newcomer, in a good way - not really "breaking" AI or anything - just fair tactical play. You'll learn how to win vs. overwhelming odds by exploiting every little spell, every little advantage possible - very satisfying feeling. Sort of a "cult status" game for a small Russian-speaking community... well, it'll grow, hopefully, as more fans of the turn-based genre discover its potential.
Too bad that the failure of Eador 2 may have ruined its reputation for years to come.
Then I will start playing my first non tutorial shard as expert it seems. The tutorial boss was hard as balls on one of the easiest difficulties though, that kind of makes me worried.
Stop playing it like homm just because it has a hex battlefield and it wont be hard anymore
Well yeah, of course they do play differently but it wouldn't be unfair to classify them under the same genre. It's but a mere simplification.

Just makes hours disappear.
