Yeah, especially in the second game. There are even people willing to calculate the rating now.:smile29:

I understand your indignation, but our online Heroes 3 started in the spring of 2007, and only now are we seeing some results (it took almost a year).
HMM2 online started in the winter of 2008. I think everything is still ahead, but time is needed.

Lu41k, you misunderstood me... I don't think that incentives are not needed at all; I just came to this conclusion (precisely considering what you described... there is no sponsor... it is also not possible to implement an interesting engine...).
And we won't come up with anything better than 100 rubles on our own; in my opinion, this will only create additional problems, and it is not a fact that there will be more new players than veterans who will refuse to participate.;)
P.S. In general, I believe that games (at the level of a forum or resources) with money (a monetary prize) are NONSENSE.
Firstly, the pleasure is lost (those who have ever been involved in bookmaking may understand me).
Secondly, this is the strongest incentive for "dirty play," which has been, is, and will be.
