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

Firstly, IMHO, meaning this is my opinion, which is not an absolute truth :) Secondly, there is no interest at all. I believe that meeting in the first few days is not like some Starcraft game, and as far as I know, no rewards are given for ranking.

A rush in Starcraft and a rush in Heroes are essentially the same. Some players attack from the very beginning, while others may roam the map for 3 months, trying to win through attrition. Everyone has the right to win in the way they deem appropriate (of course, within the rules), and the ranking is completely irrelevant here.
