Open letter to Ubisoft

As you may have noticed, HoMM3 is by far the favorite game of Might and Magic fans. I can give you 3 reasons for that:

1- More factions than the other games. Heroes3 has EIGHT different towns, only Heroes5 has this ammount of factions (that's why people prefer Heroes5 instead of Heroes6 -> six factions).
2- The creatures are totally diverse in Heroes3, and that's the biggest difference from Heroes5 factions. There isn't a faction composed mostly by Elves, Dwarves or Orcs; in Heroes3 there is ONE Elf, ONE Dwarf, ONE Orc, ONE Naga. Humans and demons are the only exception.
3- HoMM players prefer (pre-rendered) sprites more than 3D models. Yes, they do. Anyone can see it on the comments of thoses photos (of the official Facebook page) showing the "evolution" of creatures in M&M. Heroes3 version is the most liked, followed by Heroes2. HoMM battles are like chess games, there is no need to zoom or rotate the screen.

With that background in mind, this is what I would like to ask you, Ubisoft:
Make a new Heroes of Might and Magic (or "Magic and Magic: Heores") the way HoMM fans like. Hire the old New World Computer team (or you can pick skilled HoMM fans like Alex-ander and Maestro, who man ake perfectly similar content) and make something similar to HoMM3.
* A light game, simple enough to be played on most PCs as well as tablets (haven't you noticed that HoMM games are PERFECT for touth-screen devices?).
* Ten, twelve, fifteen factions! Composed by a diverse set of creatures. You can
* Low price! Making a smaller and simple game may result in a cheaper game, which in turn will lead to a well-selling game.
* Easy way to create, share and download fan-made maps and campaigns.
* Sell it on your site, on Steam, iTunes, GooglePlay, PS Vita, WiiU... everywhere, especially for PCs and mobile devices.


Be sure that I (and most HoMM real fans) will buy that game!
