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

1) This is not a solution!!! For example: you play as your favorite Swamp faction, and I play as Conflux!! I have two Castle factions and, let's say, a Barbarian faction nearby!! I built all 5 guilds, but there's nothing good there! I go, and there's a group of Fanatics standing there, guarding a scroll. I take it, and there's an explosion!! Or Armageddon!! Or a magical jump!! Notice that you won't find such magic in my other three secondary factions; it simply isn't there!!! And if there are no Utopia or Pandora's Box artifacts on the map, and no magic books, then you have to agree that such scrolls give a huge advantage!!

These rules imply playing on random maps, where there are almost always Utopia and Pandora's Box artifacts. I've even forgotten when I last built a level 5 town. Why bother if I go to the treasure and get all Air or all Earth creatures? Then I'll have a jump spell, a portal spell, an explosion spell, and so on.

AND IF YOU'VE ALREADY DONE TWO MANDATORY RESTARTS, WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT??? GIVE UP???!!!

Wooden and stone mines are also available in secondary towns. And we mostly play on 160%, so by the time the wood runs out, you can find a mine in a secondary town if you don't have one in your main town.

WHY TWO RESTARTS???!!!!!!! IN MY OPINION, IT'S PRECISELY TO GET A FANTASTIC STARTING LOCATION!!!

Restarts are precisely for regenerating the map in case of a mine block. But many people also use them to get a fantastic starting location.

BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT SOME "PROFESSIONALS" WROTE THESE RULES, AND YOU ALL AGREED IMMEDIATELY AND ARE FORCING OTHERS TO AGREE SO THAT THEY CAN GET INTO YOUR TABLE!!!

No one is forcing anyone here :). In the current rules, almost every aspect of each point has been refined by the PLAYERS THEMSELVES. And to get into the ranking table, it is not necessary to play according to these rules. It is enough to write a correct report and wait for it to be confirmed by your opponent. And it doesn't matter what rules you played by, if you agreed on them with your opponent in advance.
Sometimes I also want to play the way I want. I look for an opponent, agree with him, and play. I might want to play as Necropolis with upgraded Vampires and level up Vidomina. We play, write a report, and the games get into the ranking. So what prevents you from doing the same? Let's play according to YOUR rules? I'm not against it for a change.

If you can't leave the town, restart!!!

That's why we have a restart on the first day.

no mines - restart

That's why we have a restart within 3 days :).

hero >1 level restart

We have that too).

I ABSOLUTELY agree with SMOKE that there are certain elements on this site that are not fair play!!!! Look at the topic that the moderator banned!!! The one about...!!!!!

It's better to be careful with such words :).
As for that case, as I understand the situation, a newbie came to the forum, went to the offline section, read that everyone uses codes for scouting, didn't fully understand, thought it was allowed, and asked that question, thinking that it could also be used in online games.
