If Heroes of Might and Magic had the ability to emulate a client-server system (bot), where all saves are stored on the server and become available only after the game is completed, it would be invaluable for conducting more or less serious competitions.
This is what we should strive for, and it will definitely happen.
Message from Dirty_Player:
That's some interesting logic. And how do you prevent players from taking Pandora's Boxes from under a shifted guard? How do you remove this possibility? Because the temptation is great. What if they don't get caught? How do you remove the ability to use scrolls of level 4-5 without building a Guild Hall? Is there a temptation to teleport with a scroll? What if they don't get caught? Any player who does something against the rules understands that they are doing it at their own risk, and it doesn't matter if it's teleporting with a scroll or using Tazar in the Dungeon. There are just rules that need to be followed, and that's it. And people with weak willpower and a penchant for small temptations will not be prevented from opening a map or save file, which is much more serious.
Kostyan, I think I told you (or you participated in that conversation) that this can be solved very simply, but by creating a program like Mikogo, but less resource-intensive. If you want to play for a rating (any significant one), turn on a program that will write your display to the server (let's say the video will be stored for 12 hours and erased, overwritten, so as not to overload the system), and saves will also be stored on an independent server. And there will be no cheats.
