it.
I wouldn't call any of the Heroes of Might and Magic games AAA. All the
New World Computing games were in 2D, which you'd expect in 1995 when the
first game was released, but but the time the fourth game was released
in 2002 it made the game look pretty dated. By the comparision the Might
and Magic games had moved to "good enough for an RPG" 3D graphics in 1998.
Not AAA either, but still would have had a bigger budget.
The Ubisoft HOMM games were also not big budget games, nothing like the
Assassin's Cred or Far Cry games. It's not a series that would really
benefit from being AAA, and aside from maybe HOMM3 never really had the
sales to justifiy it.
The only strategy games I would consider AAA are the Civilization games
and the later Total War games.
