Armagedda
Auto-translated
A few thoughts regarding the subject from someone who has some connection to the popularization of TE :). Firstly, it will not be possible to turn TE into SoD with a TE interface because the exe has been modified. So you'll have to at least accept that changes such as these will remain (quote from the TE manual):
- Some "peeking" during another player's turn, which was possible in network play, has been disabled. To achieve this, the ”Next Hero” button had to be disabled, so it currently does not work in TE.
- The Altar of Sacrifice is now insensitive to the type of visiting hero; all heroes can sacrifice both artifacts and troops.
- In the Skeleton Transformer, cavalry and unicorns (non-upgraded!) can additionally be converted into black knights.
- With expert summoning of water and air elementals, their number has been increased to 5*Hero_SP.
Secondly, I agree with the opinion that such a "castration" of TE will lead not to unity, but to an even greater division of the same Community. Those who want to switch to TE are switching. Fans of SoD continue to play it.
Thirdly, I want to share my vision of the reasons why people do not want to play TE and prefer SoD. In reality, there aren't that many.
1. Simple laziness. The main and most common reason. Too lazy to figure it out, too lazy to install it, etc. As a rule, nothing can be done about this :).
2. Bruised ego :). Like, who are they to ruin such a great game? And not only did they ruin it, but they didn't ask ME personally :). How is that possible, slow on the second level? By what right? :) Since I wasn't asked when they were reworking it, I won same play it.
Moreover, often judgments about TE are expressed by people who have played against the computer a maximum of one and a half times. And then they discuss balance and so on.
By the way, for those who cannot understand what motivates the TE developers and what priorities they maintain during development, I suggest reading at least the manual, not to mention the official game forum... Yes, yes, Nagan, that's for you :). And your reasoning about Chaosleague, Antala, chaospatch was amusing :). The chaospatch, by the way, completely removed necromancy from the game. By the time TE started gaining momentum, chaosleague had already practically collapsed. Nevertheless, players like Stinger, DVStranger, and Andre enjoy playing TE.
