A couple of days ago, the open alpha test for HD mod 5.0 (online lobby for HotA) started.
Modest video presentation (video tutorial)
Download offline update to the fifth alpha
Download HW_rules 1.40 plugin
What is not in the video:
1. Access to the lobby is currently blocked for foreigners (more precisely, for the English version of HotA on a non-Russian Windows).
2. The minimum resolution to enter the lobby is 830x664, but the higher (wider), the better. The lobby window interface is adaptive, but it is more optimized for widescreen displays.
3. Plugin HW_rules 1.38 (and earlier) is not compatible with the game through the online lobby! Plugin HW_rules 1.40 is fully compatible.
I will also reiterate that the offline update must be applied only to the installed HD mod 4.208 RC4 or RC5.
Come and hang out, play, invite your friends. Have fun testing!
For any problems and suggestions, you can write here.

Yes, I forgot to say:
1. For SoD 5.0 Alpha, it is absolutely identical to the current release version,
so you can safely play on it in SoD without any risks.
2. On the 5.0 alpha, you can perfectly play HotA via TCP/IP (through Hamachi, etc.) against a player with the latest released version of HD. They are completely compatible. The risks are no greater than when switching to a new release version.
So don't be afraid to try it.
Everything works fine in HotA.
