Summary0000747: Creature Banks - In H3, the upgraded stack was in the bottom-left corner of the screen, in VCMI it's placed center-right
DescriptionHonestly, I'm beginning to prefer where we have the upgraded stack in VCMI. It somehow makes more sense to have the upgraded stack located somewhere central.

In fact, I believe H3 had the upgraded stack there *because* of the basic principle according to which "the stack of neutrals which should have a random chance of being upgraded, should be the middle one". This looked good for normal battles with Adventure Map monsters, where the middle stack was central-placed. But perhaps the principle was then just badly applied at creature banks where, according to the order of action, the bottom-left stack is the 3rd out of 5, hence the middle one.

So my vote goes for keeping the logic as it is today in VCMI, but the topic is of course open for discussion in the comments area below.

I think it's just the question of supporting gameplay purism. There are some HoMM3 (not even WoG) RPG-like maps where every little peasant counts and every battle must be perfected. In teh end, I'd keep new behaviour as a default one and make it into an option only if someone really requests for it.
