Yeah, people like you are the ones bringing that moment closer, the moment of Heroes 3's demise. Because SoD is a dead-end branch of evolution, as there is no development, and there won't be any. But with each new version of TE, the balance will improve, and the number of bugs will decrease, making the game more enjoyable and interesting. As far as I know, the next version will even feature a new city called "Bastion." Whether you like it or not, the fact is that SoD is doomed. :smile16:
By the way, it's usually the underdeveloped "branches" that get developed.
Chess, for example, has remained almost unchanged throughout most of human history (since its inception) – and yet it's still a great game and sport... so, "to each their own."
Everyone plays what they enjoy... I don't feel alone in my beliefs, and that's enough for me. As for the TE players, promote your branch, but do it with something good, without bashing other branches. IMHO, the worst way to stand out is to insult your opponent.
