You seem to have a very poor understanding of the minds of the majority of Heroes players if you think they switch to the HD mod just because they are being "brainwashed." Do people switch from old button phones to modern smartphones because they are being "brainwashed by Apple and Microsoft"?
It's funny that if the "brainwashing" with the HD mod (in reality, people are brainwashing themselves) is a joke, then with smartphones, it's actually the case. And with credits, and other delights of the capitalist "paradise."
This analogy is very appropriate because, compared to the original Heroes, the HD mod is significantly more convenient. For me, the top 3 advantages of the HD mod are:
1) You can use hotkeys to split units into single units when trading with a merchant to whom you want to leave one goblin, for example; you don't need to manually split the stack of goblins, the single unit is automatically selected during the transfer.
This is obvious; I also use it.
2) The HD mod runs significantly faster.
This is unlikely. The graphics in the HD mod often seem to load in parts. I turn off HD+ - the lag disappears when switching from the starting screen to the scenario manager. I turn off HiRezCore - the lag disappears when loading the city screen. I remove the HD mod - everything runs perfectly! ))
Seriously, tens of thousands of lines of code in the HD mod is no joke. Naturally, this puts additional strain on the computer and leads to slowdowns.
It is because of these changes that I can no longer play Heroes without HD. When I remember that in the original Heroes, I had to split units into single units "manually" in every early battle, wasting an extra minute on this boring task, while in HD it is done with one click - no, thank you.
By the way, igrik, who posted here above, created his own plugin for WoG to automate these operations.
