what does the HD mod for HotA have to do with this?? the HD mod is a great addition that makes the Gameplay more comfortable and so on! but HotA is a completely different game!!
As for the comfort of the Gameplay — HotA is an excellent addition in terms of fixing SoD bugs/road blocks/and other things. I don't play it myself and don't intend to — but I perfectly understand why and for what reason people are switching to it.
But the thing is, the game with HD-mod is also already a somewhat different game than the standard classic SoD...
