I played yesterday with a player from her.bay; on that resource, the TE version of the game rules, in which spells are distributed across magic books differently. At the final stage of the game, the opponent flies over ГО and is supposed to reach my capital on the next turn. Having Earth Expert and TP, I teleport home and replenish my mana. The opponent flies, visits an overview, and a barrage of questions begins about how I got home from the underground. I tell him that once we finish the game, I'll send him the saves for the entire match—let him experiment. On the next turn, I catch up to him and wipe him out in two rounds, enjoying a rain of artifacts—game over. And then the arguments start about how I got home with an expert Town Portal! Because when the opponent loads the multiplayer game, my hero only teleports to the nearest town.
I still couldn't explain to him that because he installed TE, he messed up SoD and now TP probably works for any city with Fire Expert (I think that's how the spell shifted from the Earth book to the Fire book in TE).
Conclusion—well, I don't even know what the conclusion is—after a normal, interesting game, a 30-minute swearing match starts because a super experienced fighter (screaming in ICQ that he knows how to play!!!) doesn't understand the issues caused by different versions....
I'll also add that if the opponent who generates the map has similar version mixing, look for the Slow spell on the second tier of magic (somehow I built 4 first-level towers in game and it wasn't there, but it was hiding on the second).
Good luck in your games to everyone, patience, and mutual understanding
