Modding, copyright, and related issues.

Well, maybe they're absent because of a monopoly? Think about it, how can I compete with 5.5 if, no matter what I do, everything will automatically be absorbed into 5.5?

Regarding combining different mods, I have nothing negative to say. But can you briefly explain in what specific ways does 5.5 increase the modifiability of the game? I'll admit, I'm not very familiar with the functionality of 5.5, but I suspect it's just another huge collection with a lot of things thrown together. For example, I genuinely dislike the approach of Eva because "twenty recolored minotaurs" is a real sore spot for me. And in general, I've always preferred quality over quantity.

and all of this will already be 99% analogous to WoG! :smile13:

I've already said that I'm not for WoG, but for HotA.
I'm not interested in a project that consists of 90 percent of a large amount of miscellaneous stuff thrown together. I would rather see a neat, high-quality project made with attention to detail, even if it's significantly smaller. But, unfortunately, in the current climate, this is simply impossible. Any potential HotA will now be brazenly absorbed in its infancy by your WoG analog, i.e., 5.5.
That's why I say that these guys are creating a monopoly.

And frankly, I'm still amazed by the indifference of our small community.
Large groups and streamers publish mods without links and attribution? Who cares, why would anyone need to write anything.
They steal big, well-known mods, everything that isn't nailed down, thereby preventing smaller projects from gaining an audience. Who cares.
Let's create our own resources to develop? No, that's not necessary.
I'm already losing hope because of this reaction. Am I really the only one who cares about all of this?

Moreover, sometimes they even praise such things.
Groups that steal resources without indicating authorship are good; they're a good replacement for dead websites.
5.5 is good; it's WoG. Look around, this attitude has led to the fact that there is nothing left but 5.5.

At the same time, it's not difficult to do everything differently. 5.5 can publish links to the mods it uses and create optional patches for compatibility. Groups and streamers, as Remix and the admin of this group have already proven, can publish mods with links to the authors.

This is important. It's important that people who like mods for the 5th game know that our site exists and that we are here. And that modding for Heroes is not limited to Dreadnought and his 5.5. Why am I explaining obvious things again? And how can I make you care about the development of our community?
