1. Why do you assume we don't know what TE is? I assure you, we do, and most players have tried playing this version. There have been repeated attempts to implement TE here, but they all ended in failure. Let's attribute this to our mentality; it's a kind of forum-specific national trait. Most of us play on versions 3.2 and 4.0, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. There's no need to force it; just save time, effort, nerves, and bandwidth. And arguing about what's better is pointless. As the esteemed Querty said, let everyone choose which game they want to play. Well, Hv has already chosen his game.
Honestly, it's difficult to assess and immediately understand some of the changes in TE. Some are quite easily explained, while understanding others only comes after a certain number of games. The only thing that can be said about TE that I don't think will cause complaints among the residents of this portal is that, from the point of view of the interface, TE is 10 steps ahead of SoD. It's simply more convenient and saves time to play with the buttons implemented in TE. In addition, TE fixes a number of SoD bugs, such as viewing the opponent's hero, selling artifacts for more than their actual value, accelerating an empty hero to maximum speed, and viewing the opponent's castles, which in itself makes TE very valuable. I think it would be perfectly normal to start by attracting people to play TE without any changes from SoD, only with interface changes and the specified bugs disabled.
Or do the interface enhancements also cause complaints?
