HoMM3 HD is a mod (add-on) for the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

This bug has long become a feature. I think it's not very wise to fix it and thereby make changes to the soda mechanics, especially without finding out the opinion of the community on this matter (which, I am sure, will be negative).

I share the same opinion. This has long become an element of the game's balance (and is also officially allowed by the rules!), especially relevant on Jebus, where using strong GO scouts with GS (like dragons or archons) has become the norm and is actively used, including by top players on streams.
