If Van Caneghem (or whoever is in charge of that, I don't know) released patches for Heroes, there simply wouldn't be any attempts to cheapen it with so-called "balancing" changes and additions.
What kind of war is without diplomacy ?!!! What are you talking about ?! Diplomacy is more than half of any real war ! Wars are won precisely through diplomacy, precisely thanks to it one manages to gather forces superior to the enemy. How would the USSR have fought Germany without the military and material aid of the allies? And how would Cortez with his hundred warriors have captured the multi-million-strong Aztec state? Only through diplomacy.
And through the efforts of all sorts of shady individuals, Heroes turned from a Game into a pop trainer for bespectacled nerds. Who hate Mullich so much that they banned him. Ban the best hero !!! That's just tyranny; in all eras, outstanding heroes were cherished and nurtured, relied upon; finding one was considered an achievement.
Suvorov, for instance, led his troops through the Alps and inflicted a crushing defeat on the enemies. If the rule-makers of HeroesWorld ruled Russia, they would have banned Suvorov — imbalance, dammit ...
And the shifted guard rule ! Who even came up with such nonsense ?! In all eras, the ability to capture a key object without a fight was considered the pinnacle of a commander's talent. Such commanders were loved by soldiers, respected by kings, and highly valued by contemporaries and descendants. The Germans, for example, in 1940 simply bypassed the Maginot Line and captured France almost without a fight. Because they didn't know about the shifted guard rule. If they had known, they would have fallen there during the assault and gone down in history as some sort of fools.
And the bans on using engine bugs ! There are no bugs in life, only features. For instance, the chain reaction of uranium nuclear fission — that's clearly a bug. Such a little box, yet it blows everything to dust for hundreds of kilometers around. Definitely a bug and an imbalance. It's just that those in politics are by no means the authors of HeroesWorld rules, so they use this ... hmm ... "bug" for their strategic purposes — either applying it as intended, or using the possibility of its application to pressure the minds of their neighbors.
Do you think you are smarter than Caneghem ?! You are not fit to lick his boots; you only know how to whine about imbalance, that the enemy, through his wit and valor, united half the map against you in war, while you only exploited the population of captured cities and plundered neighboring territories.
I resolutely demand to return Heroes their original spirit, to abandon that castrated version practiced on HeroesWorld!
