Dominions 2: King of Turn-Based MP Games

Agreed. Heroes is plain awful in multiplayer (even with only two players)

Except when playing cooperatively with a friend in hotseat mod, against AIs.
This way you get a rest between turns and enjoy watching your friend play.
Though other than that, MP is terrible in HoMM.

As far as MP goes, the best I've seen is Dominions.

Space Empires IV. Particually the SEIV since I still bounce back and forth between that and Dom2

I'll second what Gandalf Said. SEIV is a great "Offline-Simultaneous turn" game. The SEIV mods are really help the game shine, just like dom2.

Dom2 rocks.

I've always done HOMM_3 over a home LAN... which works fine. HOMM_4 had so many problems it only lasted about 3 weeks on the computer. HOMM_3 still lives on my computer.
