Thanks for the link, but it rather confirms my point of view:)
the difference between hard and impossible (130% and 200%) lies only in the hiring of heroes, which is not critical, because the computer's strongest starting heroes are already hired and sitting in castles. The absence of one or two extra weaklings on the computer's side has practically no effect on the computer's expansion, as there are simply too few objects to respawn.
and "AI is extremely cautious about moving heroes into danger." - they are less inclined to go into dangerous places. Which does not speed up their attack on us. The only reason for a faster arrival by the method of exclusion is greater resource income and nothing else.
But I didn't understand the point about the metataxer - why in quotes?:)
Because there is no such word as "проходитель" [passer-through], it's a light irony, perhaps not friendly (we don't know each other), but still good-natured! Your walkthrough was just too epic (no jokes here)! :)
