No one has definitive proof that one version is better than another, because they are different versions of the game. It's pointless to argue about which is better. Russian bandy, rinkball, and field hockey are essentially similar games, but they are different. Take tennis, for example. On grass, much depends on the serve (the ball slides quickly across the surface); on clay, it depends on speed and accuracy (rather than the power of the shots); and on hard courts, the ball bounces better, etc. On grass and hard courts, games usually end faster because the rallies are short; on clay, they are often long and tiring. Essentially, these are different versions of the game, but no one says that clay is bad and grass is great. There are clear leaders on grass or clay courts. But on the opposite surface, they are nothing special. (Many don't even play on a particular surface simply because they don't like it.) But there are players, such as Nadal and Federer, who play masterfully on any surface. Mini football and regular football, as well as beach football, are different versions of the same game—different surfaces. Of course, there is a big difference in everything, but that's why they are different games, and it's pointless to say which is better. As for SoD, I'll say that luck favors the strong, and that's absolutely true. No matter how much you talk about morality, etc., in 80% of cases, when players of different skill levels play, the stronger player will win! But if you remove those 20%, what will you get? Nonsense, I'm sorry (programmer battles) and disrespect for Napoleon Bonaparte. By the way, Wicc, someone wrote about the deserved victories of commanders, capturing empty castles for free, etc. But how can you not admire luck? After all, there are hundreds of cases in history where you can only hope and pray that your cunning simply works (the Trojan horse is the same; the SoD morality here is that the Trojans took it, even if it was through deception). You need to hope for pure luck! Apparently, Athena was a SoD player, and Priam was a Warlords player. (Some thought that morality wouldn't work, while others hoped it would.)
