Exactly from what I've been reading and seeing... they're not trying to make smarter AI, better balance, more unique structures, more monsters, etc., . Instead of adding improved content they're focusing on how pretty stuff looks.

On the same note... who's going to by the newest and best looking sportscar when it gets half the horsepower, no A/C, no radio or DVD player, thin tires, and less gas mileage. That's what I've seen happen with game sequels way too often.

And who can blame them?
Check out the HoMM Community, everyone there idolizes the 3rd game as the ultimate game (in the series, and in general). I think its quite obvious to Ubisoft the best way to please its fanbase is with a game that is "True to its origins".
Also, you have to remember its their first game in the series, they just recently purchased the rights to HoMM, and therefore would probably want to take minimal risks and make minimal changes on its very first realese, a game which will leave a "first impression" on all future games on the series.
