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

- On restarts, it is recommended to ensure there are at least 2 roads besides the GO.

Is this a rule or advice? :)

On Nostalgia, the same rule applies regarding the GO as on SM - if the only road leads to the GO, then a restart.

Restart at the player's discretion if their only road leads to a treasure zone guard

This rule seems unnecessary to me - 12500 is not such a serious guard to be a blocker. Besides, it doesn't block the respawn; you can develop and break through on the second day. I don't recall such a restart ever being used on Bay or in the Chaos League.

If we are to adopt such a rule, then Spider should also be mentioned - there are exactly the same 12500 guards in the zones adjacent to the player, and they can also block the only passage.

For players who like to cling to rules when losing and look for minor formal violations in the opponent's actions that did not affect the game in any way, and judges like Pavel Dubrovin who consider such complaints to be correct and justified, I propose to write in large red letters an approximate text at the top of the rules - "Player complaints about rule violations that did not affect the course of the game may be rejected at the judges' discretion" or something similar.

Actually, the measure of punishment is not specified in the HeroesWorld rules. That is, issuing a tech loss for violating the rules is a personal initiative of a specific judge.
