Personally, I find SOD very interesting to play on Medium and Large maps, and on 200% maps, it's simply amazing! Honestly. VT doesn't give such intense sensations. I don't feel any need for an HD mod or anything else; Lighter is more than enough. On Huge maps, SOD is already noticeably inferior to VT. And in some aspects, VT is definitely better, such as: - reworked magic (elements, parameters, the guild's restructuring itself); - the ability to transfer money on the first day; trading is a great thing! - reworked Necropolis; - the ban on sea artifacts and spheres with cloaks (mages also have the right to exist); - and a few other nice little things, like the witch's hut, the ability to set up roads, etc. But there are also a number of serious drawbacks: - Brogh - OMG, there are no words for this. - Inferno is now SOD's Necropolis, I would say it's borderline unfair. - Quick Battle is a good feature for the late game, but it's not fair, in my opinion; - Barbarians are strong, but they have become too one-sided, but this is a matter of taste, of course. And things that greatly simplify the game: - Morale and GS - it's okay, tournaments and all that, you can agree; - but: - Experience - this is idiocy, completely unnecessary, and the fact that people have already gotten used to it doesn't excuse it; - Bank - even simpler, even more balanced, yeah; - Classes - if you remove Speedy, that's fine, but as it is, it's an imbalance (hello, Brogh). "SOD for a casual game"? Yes, because it's more interesting. :smile01:
