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

Good lord, there’s so much boasting about how 4, or even 6, minutes are needed, and how anyone who plays differently is some kind of noob. I’ll just say this: I usually spend 2-3 times less real time than fairly experienced players, and whether I win or lose (sometimes it’s frustrating to make a mistake), I see that there’s no real advantage in the opponent’s development. Sometimes it’s not even clear what such a huge amount of real time is spent on; obviously, it’s spent on minor messing around with unimportant heroes, or I don’t know what else. In principle, of course, I’m not arguing; there should be a certain minimum time for a turn. When an opponent spends an average of 1-2 minutes of real time on a turn, then everything is clear with them, but spending 10-15 minutes on EACH turn is also a bit much; let’s respect our own time and the time of others, and try to minimize the turn time as much as possible. IMHO. [br][/br] Regarding the topic – 4 minutes will help people learn to play faster, no matter what anyone says.
