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

Read it, don't touch the Sphere. Does anyone think it's overpowered? Hmm. Skill will still decide everything, whether it's there or not. It would be better if they wrote about Water Elementals instead of starting another pointless debate here. If you're so afraid of the Tazar, just pick Swamp. But that's just your personal preference, in my opinion. I've played about 50% of my games as Mages against Warriors on Sylvan (you can see this in the reports), and I've won most of those games. There's no overpowered faction, there's just a stereotype.
