[Tournaments-SoD+FreshMod] Favorites, to battle! - 12 - The Battle of Favorites! - 12

So, you prefer the old feeling of emptiness and observing mountain ravines?)
It seems that 5 years ago, at the dawn of HotA's appearance, the Sod-masters (though, for that time, it would be better to simply call them research-masters) complained quite a bit about how worthless, from a gameplay perspective, HotA-Jebus seemed to them, and how difficult/unpleasant it was to play due to the complexity of assembling a unified battle stack, since in Sod it was much easier to get a breakthrough army for ГО — a bunch of Hives, 2-3 cons, and a primitive army is ready for the outing. (In HotA, as you probably already know, value is distributed across different objects, and the result can often be a "mixed salad", which is much less comfortable to fight with than a pair of Archangels.)

Back then, some players thought this change overly complicated the gameplay, and now a comrade argues against "decadence", implying that playing will be too easy, and it seems nothing pleases him.
The reference above suggests that people of the same class held opposite views on the issue of changing the "density" of objects and its impact on gameplay, solely so that some pseudo-correct difficulty of the game process would remain the same. // in other words, so that everything would be as it was before.
Meo, why on earth did you sign up for the tournament if the fresh air is so sharply unpleasant to you?
If the key changes to the generator already cause a feeling of nausea, is it worth violating your conservative organism?
