A hero without an army at the start.

I'm a realist and I have a pretty good idea of what happens, for example, after a critical vulnerability in Windows is made public (if you don't live on a deserted island, you've probably heard about it). Similarly, in "Heroes": such a bug isn't just theoretically convenient – once it's discovered, EVERYONE who can will use it (and they're probably already using it)! In a single-player game for fun, okay, let it be, but now the vast majority of players are online. You can simply ban it with tournament rules (and it seems it's already banned), but it's difficult to keep track of all players to ensure they comply with the ban. Are you playing solo or against other human players, for fun or for a result? Using bugs in "Heroes" is the same as using doping in sports. Would you be happy and agree if someone kept beating you over and over again not because they're better than you, but because they're using something you don't know about and that gives them an advantage over you? Rules exist so that all players are on as equal footing as possible. If the game continued to be supported by the developers, it would be enough to simply report it to them, they would release a patch, everyone would install it, and the issue would be completely resolved. But the development company has ceased to exist, and no one has the source code for "Breath of Death" or "Complete Collection." All hope now rests on Baratortcha and his HD mod.
