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

And I would generally impose a ban on the weekly growth of any level! To make it fair! Whatever troops you built or earned - fight with those!
Otherwise, I had this two-sided case:

One game - I played as Inferno, and it was the month of Gogs, due to the growth I won, after the battle my army had 12 Gogs and several Imps left, and the Gogs could have been absent, but the personal growth finished off the opponent.
Second game - I was Dungeon, opponent was Castle, it was the month of Griffins, due to the number of Griffins, I couldn't kill 6 Griffins in melee and my shooters couldn't fire, as a result my blocked eyes died in the next round.
