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

In my games, the Goblin Outpost is usually defeated either in the first month or not at all, with exceptions, of course, but they are rare.

It's clear that the Goblin Outpost is more likely to be defeated in the first month, but the thing is that you almost never do it, even though you like to talk about it – you could defeat it in the second week, or even the first... In my opinion, the Goblin Outpost is defeated when it has been weakened. I myself have defeated it on the 3rd week, but this requires many conditions. In reality, I and others do this maybe 1 out of 5 times, and that's when we even make it to that point. To defeat it in the second week, you'd need something like a couple of rusty dragons when playing as the Swamp faction, or at least a Mass of Slime and creatures without immunity.

Valentin, maybe we can play Heroes for money?

Good lord, you won against me once solely because you were playing as the red faction, and you were already boasting... :o We could have theoretically talked about playing for money if we lived in the same city.
