The first or the second? Better than the second one.

The only question for now is: how will her intelligence be? The PC version is not very good in
this sense:(

Well! If there is such a level of intelligence, then it will be very cool. Almost
unattainable. And the PC version plays very, very well, imho.

Can you post a screenshot (at least in the echo)? I could give you a bunch of ideas for the subject.

The PC version plays _predictably_ and this is his weakness.
P.S. (off topic) do you know where HMM2 fans hang out? Let's chat... :)

Hardly. In a turn-based strategy, where the computer is not limited by thinking time
(as in WarCraft, for example), it could be done better.

Well, I don’t know. Even a person who has sat down to play for only the tenth time is more difficult to beat than a computer. Let's just say that the record (not mine) for each of both campaigns
(entirely!) is less than 100 days.

WarCraft is not a turn-based strategy, but rather RealTime, where time is a very
critical parameter!

Cough, cough... Wow, little things. 2 new races, 3-4 times more spells and
artifacts, a couple of times more enemies, a lot of characteristics, a change in the meaning of
knowledge, a bunch of new buildings, the ability to play against enemies together with
the computer...

Ask in SU.GAME.STRATEGY or RU.GAME.STRATEGY.

Well, these are records. But I don’t think that it will be realistic to implement even such a weak, as you say, computer game.
