My idea:

Why not to introduce non-humanoidal heroes?
Till now we had men, orcs, elves, gnolls, orsc, dwarves, ogres, trolls, minotaurs.
The only exception was Mutare, but she was depicted as a mounted human too.
Introducing centaurs, dragons, sphinxes (both Aegyptian and Greek - winged ones) and other non humanoidal beings as heroes can add an additional visual flavour to the game.

I got an idea of introducing "riots" or "disorder" status in towns. This status would last a few days after capturing the town. Logically thinking just after the battle the castle is not fully functional. The effect of riots could be:
:idea: No or 1/2 of gold generated
:idea: No creatures spawning
:idea: No possibility for creatures recruitement
:idea: No possibility for building constructions

What irritates me in fantasy games is nearly no difference between male and female characters with respect to their abilities.
Equality is not identity.

My proposal for Heroes V is the following:
Let the male and female heroes of the same class be slightly different.
Men can be stronger (better attack), women more agile (better defense);
women can be wiser, but men more intelligent.
And so on.

Browsing the newly started debate of tactics in Heroes V I have spotted two very clever ideas that are worthy for sure to be mentioned here. They are:

:idea: Micromanagement tool by jOjO
This is for speeding up things tahat players do at the beginning of turns.
A player could schedule what is to be done at the beginning of each turn, each week etc. When this moment comes a majordomus (or something like that) appears asking "Do you want that-and-that to be done?" The player may accept and run the scheduled actions, decline and does not run them, or edit the list for further use. The key here is leaving no decissions to computer but pass the execution to an automaton.

:idea: Melee order by hadżdżi Dawud az Gossarah
This is about fixing the problem of melee. Both H1-H3 solution (attacker strikes first) and H4 one (simultaneous strike) have some flaws. By introducing for each unit "attack melee sequence" and "defense melee sequence" the game engine could determine the order of hits by comparing the attack factor for the attacker with the defense factor of the defender. The unit with bigger number hits first, when they are equal they strike simultanously. As example champions should have high attack initiative and low defense order factor, and pikemen low attack sequence and high defense one.
