SkeleTony: Heroes 2 has better graphics and music and some of the units for some factions make more sense than some in H3 (troll boulder-throwers instead of cyclopses, Mummies as a necro unit instead of 'Dread Knights' etc.) but it also lacks a 'Wait' command in combat (which H3 added).
Tarnum: You're wrong. Wait option in battle was first implemented in Heroes II. Look
for details. And watch [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=igXnZX5xN_c]this official HoMM II demo video. I'm sure that you will discover that Wait button is present in this video.
Heroes II is obviously the best game in the HoMM universe.
Not really. The game (Heroes II) kind of put a rough version in and then abandoned the idea before it could be implemented correctly, including so the AI could use it. Thus it CAN be activated (which may be buggy as this is a fairly recent realization by Heroes 2 modders) but the AI still can't use it so... virtually worthless. Better to just wait for Fheroes2 engine to get more finished.

EvilLoynis: Wow good to know it was actually there but it still does not make H2 better than H3. H2 has to many balance issues still that have not been addressed
I still think H2's graphics were a bit nicer and the music better. However in almost every other facet H3 was the better game. I still play both games although I play H3 at least twice as much. I even play H4 for a change of pace although sadly it is not really a good challenge vs AI.
BTW - Since the Wait feature was there but NOT actually implemented I would have to say that it really didn't exist for 99% of ppl. I mean I am not going to bother downloading a hex editor just to enable it especially since it does not work with the Gog/Dos version but only the Windows one.
This^. And the RMG is a huge factor as well. If Heroes 2 had an RMG then it would at least have the replayability of H3. And yeah, the hex-edited wait feature is even more worthless to us since it does not work for GoG's version.
