1. What's so heretical about the new castle?
2. Wouldn't you like a "Eraфия style" option in SoD (minus the Conflux and other things)?
Why not? Hota is a complete and balanced game (not perfect, of course), and it doesn't need to pretend to be part of it or another game.

1. Style. Setting. After all, there is a classic Might & Magic universe with its worlds - from Enroth to Jadame, refined and, in a good way, conservative, and is there enough reason to deviate from traditions? To defile the magical world with firearms, to cram historical figures from the 18th century (pirates) into it?
1, 2. After all, the community formed during the heyday of SoD. The set of castles, monsters, magic, artifacts, and objects on the map - all of this has become an analogue of a set of figures and rules in chess, which can no longer be uprooted from individual experience. It's like a programmer being uncomfortable with another programming language because his fingers are used to the old combinations.
Let Hota be complete and self-sufficient, but... I would like the same advantages for SoD as well.
