DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

Dear Prince. First of all, I want to say that the main points of these rules were written not in one year, but by many (hundreds) of professional players. Therefore, no one will change everything at once, because most players are satisfied with these rules.

1) Cancel scrolls altogether!! If they interfere with the passage, you can take them but not use them.

Regarding the use of scrolls, we have found a way to ensure that randomly finding a good scroll does not give an obvious advantage over the opponent.

Fight only with your own units!!! NO FREE WYVERNS AND ANGELS!!! If they are given, disband them or exchange them for resources.

I would have laughed at these words before, but recently I learned that on some resources, they play exactly like that, for example, the Poles. But: in my opinion and in the opinion of most players on this and other resources, this is uninteresting and meaningless. After all, it's random: someone is lucky with the spawn, - a bunch of hiding places, utopias, and so on, and how can another fight against such a large number of units? In my recent game, I collected half a hundred minotaurs in three weeks - how is this worse than the same half a hundred wyverns or several angels?! Minotaurs breed on their own in hiding places, but you still need to be able to take hives and angel nests without critical losses.

Cancel the LOGISTIC and TACTICIAN heroes!!

Well, I can understand the logistics, but I'm hearing about tacticians for the first time :). Maybe we should also ban attack and defense, and especially expert slow? I'm tired of repeating the same thing: what's wrong with Tazar compared to Kirra?

restart ALWAYS if a stone and wood mine is not found within 3 days (if the player agrees to continue without a mine, it is his right)

According to the current rules, each player has two restarts. They are given precisely for this and for strong blocks, and not for "guessing" a fairy-tale spawn. A wood and ore mine ALWAYS exists on the spawn (at least, I have never had a case where they were not there). You just need to search well ;).

make the time limit for a turn as short as possible!!! (1 minute!)(well, 2)

no comments... The current rules were designed to have as few restrictions as possible. And in the worst case, if they don't suit you and my arguments are unconvincing, then no one forbids you to play according to the rules that you agree on individually with your opponent. There is such a clause in the rules ;)
