Walkthroughs for custom maps.

Don't get it confused. There are these options: 1. Standard SOD game speed. 2. cranim.txt accelerator. It appeared about 15 years ago and has always been allowed. 3. SOD_Turbo.exe accelerator (a patched heroes3.exe). It speeds up animation many times over, and all movements happen almost instantly. Online players use it to save time. If a multi-round battle takes place with standard SOD animation, then it's just :smile35:. I don't understand how anyone can waste their time so much – it's the most valuable resource in the world.

Here. Quote: "I also cleared the Moon with harpies on auto-battle; I had about 100 of them, and the battle lasted exactly 12 hours, including the cranim with accelerated animation."

Judging by the quote, the cranim version was used there. As far as I know, TurboSOD didn't exist back then, but I might be wrong. If the battle with cranim took 12 hours, then with TurboSOD it would definitely end in about 3-4 hours.
