2Piterius: I want to hear some sound arguments in favor of cheating. Just one. So far, it's either all sorts of nitpicking or an admission of own noobness. I still maintain that in this example, we aren't even talking about so-called "intuition," but simple game logic.
Let me explain my position: naturally, I wasn't there and cannot claim that maphack wasn't used. Theoretically, it's possible the person revealed the map and then made a very logical move, which could have been made even without it. I only want to say that based on the logic of the blue player's actions, you cannot talk about maphack at all! Furthermore, out of all possible options in online play, the most profitable one was chosen (obviously for a case where the map is unknown).
And what do those who are fostering suspicions have right now?
Example: supposedly the blue ГГ has a chance to get beaten up by Nela.
Let's consider what unpleasant surprises Gurnie might encounter (considering going to the center or his own treasure zones as alternatives):
1. Second shackles - it's stupid to rely on this; with second shackles, switching to a passive tactic is doomed to failure from the start.
2. Strike magic - that's not scary; with such CS, Nela can be answered with Implosion, or Mass Slow and then Implosion in the second round and buy-out; the trade apparently turns out in Gurnie's favor.
3. Exotics - like AOTD and a red orb, Alliance and a red orb. Unlikely; in this case again, a passive tactic won't save you.
4. A large number of angels and Mass Haste - the worst-case scenario. But even here, hoping that passivity can save you is utopian.
And now what can be expected to be gained:
1. Scouting the territory. Most players underestimate its importance. Although there's a chance that via ДД one could reach the main underground treasure zone, finding a castle with a high-level Mage Guild along the way—the ability to plan for a draw if things get really unpleasant.
2. The possibility of catching the red army (partially) - this is quite likely.
3. The possibility of catching the ГГ - unlikely, but it happens sometimes.
4. Finding an uncleared treasure zone. An untaken Utopia, Pandora's box with the necessary magic, or even just some breastplate +6 to CS. After all, it's obvious that on mini-nostalgia people often ignore less important artifacts, hoping the opponent won't appear in those areas.
5. It is reasonable to expect a profitable trade upon meeting, especially if the opponent isn't very skilled in FB. After all, Implosion rules.
In general, such nonsense—how terrible this move on 147 is—I don't even want to discuss it.
That's about it.
I suggest closing the topic!
Все в ней нулево и кукольно.
