Built-in autosave feature (for the TE version).

Well, why am I even making this add-on? Perhaps the phrase "because I want to" is more appropriate here.
The goals are roughly as follows:
- to create unified game rules
- to create a unified game hero space
- to continue Horn's good work and create a worthy Tournament version of Heroes
- to maximize the distribution of the Tournament version of Heroes

The goals are clear and acceptable.

Now, the second question is: why do you think that your actions will lead to these goals?

I simply have the opposite feeling.
Well, let's go through it step by step:
- to create unified game rules:
1) The fewer rules/options, the better.
2) The simpler the rules, the better.
All new gameplay elements contradict this.

- to create a unified game hero space
unified rules + chat + a unified version will greatly contribute to this.

- to continue Horn's good work and create a worthy Tournament version of Heroes
interface changes + TE-related developments and balancing + further development and support of the version

- to maximize the distribution of the Tournament version of Heroes
well, that's advertising and a convenient installer.

Fact: the version is viewed through the eyes of the TE players, although it is supposedly being made for the SOD players. As a result, there is a misunderstanding and all sorts of nonsense, such as changing magic schools, banning group stacks, etc.

The version is being made for many categories (I think I described it to you in detail in ICQ). One of the main focuses is on beginners, who, by the way, don't care at all about the slow level and other things; what is much more important is the ease of installing the game, the ease of configuration, the ease of finding an opponent, and simple rules.
And I also told you about the other categories, but I will repeat it here:
true SOD players will still not switch to the new version, because they do not accept any changes; true TE players (hello, Vic ;) ) may deny it for a long time.
But still, the main advantage of the version will be the interface.

I won't speak for everyone, but personally, I'm arguing not about the nuances that are adjusted during testing, but about the fundamental approach.

In short, the goal is either TE-light 2.0 or TE-Full 1.04. I am a supporter of the second option, and you, judging by your attitude, are of the first.

In essence, the nuances of what will be at what level, etc., are purely secondary compared to the general direction of movement.

As you have already mentioned, you want a version for the Heroic elite, and I will try to make a version FOR EVERYONE. I will certainly upset some people, but I think it will be a useful experience.
I want to take everything that is undeniable from TE, and put off all the ambiguous things for now; maybe I will introduce them later if it becomes clear that it will be difficult without them.
And in general, we simply have different approaches to modifications. I will now try to explain it with an example of your Hive upgrade:
when you made the upgrade, I was very much FOR it, and I even lobbied for this idea at the Ekb tournament (Mee will confirm), but it didn't come to fruition, and your system revealed shortcomings.
So, we have a different approach in fixing these shortcomings: you immediately thought about further improving the system, i.e., introducing new elements and modifications again, patching the hole with new patches, but I would have rolled back and started thinking about a new system, which would have MINIMUM changes.
I will repeat my favorite phrase once again:
Making something complex is easy. Making something simple is difficult.

P.S. I have answered all the constructive questions/comments; I recommend that the rest better get down to business (for example, the promised Unified Rating of the Runet)
