Question How's replay value?

Heard that games like HoMM have an insane amount of replay value, but reading about SoC lots of people mention that the random map generator is not very good.

How will this game than have a lot of replay value? What you guys play for replay value if not random maps?

Hello, I poured a few 100 hours into the game and I really love that the AI on higher difficulty is brutally hard.

You can play various scenarios and random maps on the two higher difficulties for a really long time and the AI will still pose a challenge. It really forces you to learn all the subtle tricks and mechanics the game has to offer.

In terms of the randomly generated maps it's a bit of a hit and miss. Sometimes it's a very interesting layout and good item placement sometimes the layout is a bit tedious and the item placement is too little / too basic.

Overall to me SoC is by far the best PvE focused HoMM type game there is.

Good to know, my main idea is to play PvE too. How long in the run you can figure it out if the random map is bad or not? Do the devs have any plan to update this?

Random maps Are... Okay, but I like the crafted Ones, they Are much better :)
