« Restriction on Hit_and_Run » – when this option is enabled, the hero cannot flee/surrender from battle in the first round if they used any magic.
does this apply only to the attacking hero? or any hero

This applies only to the attacking Hero and only in the first round of battle. I.e., just like in HeroesWorld rules, but as a setting.

Dear asm-, I propose the following idea: at the end of the match, statistics should be displayed for each player — for example, I am interested in the average real time per turn (this way a table could be compiled afterward), and other things would also be interesting (amount of gold earned/collected/captured, neutrals killed, and so on and so forth). That would be IMO very interesting.

The idea is interesting, but I'm afraid it's quite difficult to implement... not so much difficult as tedious. There was another similar idea: to write the history into a Log file, for example, Tazar with an army (...) attacked (...), Valeska takes a Dragon Utopia (2) - got such and such, losses such and such, etc., but implementing it is also quite tedious...

....

I set a longer time so that people could play and explore new possibilities... no one forbids setting a shorter one. )))
