I played on TE...
since you're so interested, listen to me too:)
TE is definitely adapted for online play, it's very convenient, and neutral creatures don't have morale, you can't use diplomacy, Solmyr doesn't have lightning, and there are all sorts of fancy mods with tents...
but if a SOD was created with the TE interface, I would only play that.
I really didn't like how they treated the Necromancers in TE, most of the free heroes, and they reworked a lot of things in general, invented classes (so that schoolboy-like or keen-eyed skills would be more useful) - I don't understand this:smile32:, Slow 2 doesn't work on cursed ground, tax, creature experience (it's very annoying when an enemy's tier 6 Gremlin has the speed of an Obsidian Gargoyle, and therefore it defeats your tier 6 creature with an arrow, which is marching with a larger army, fully confident of victory...) how can this be called "the same SOD"?
Perhaps the most important thing I don't like about TE is that they prefer SOD or Platinum, promising the same SOD that wasn't even close to being there.
But overall, TE is a good thing...

The main goal is cooperation, mutual respect, and support, as I understand it? I registered on your forum today, but I'll warn you right away, everything that is said about my level of play is shameless flattery, not corresponding to reality. Let's respect each other, help each other, and of course, play:)
