I find it amusing how some people, instead of discussing the issue at hand, start asserting their authority. You'll be stuck in the basement for a long time with that attitude...
I'm not against asserting authority in itself (I sometimes do it myself), but when it's not accompanied by anything constructive, it's just empty keyboard-bashing.
During my perhaps not-so-polite, but still not overly sarcastic, discussion, I shared quite a few ideas regarding strategies for playing on the Underworld map (UC), and they made up about 80% of the text. But a lot of time, posts, and whining passed before I finally received a substantive response – about the "no rush 8 days" strategy and the 200% bonus, etc.
Let me explain what I do when I'm criticized:
1) If the criticism is valid, I simply take it into account.
2) If the critic is mistaken in something, I point it out to them.
3) If the critic continues to insist on their misconception, I suggest they prove their point with action (and if they succeed, see point 1). In this situation, it could be something like, "Here's a starting save, try to play better."
This approach allows me to progress quite quickly in the things I do, including Heroes of Might and Magic.
