I was a bit tired of the routine of porting HD to a new platform and, out of curiosity, explored the following directions:

In the tournament module* for HD 3, there will definitely be:(as always, everything is optional):
- displaying the chat in the city window (there might also be the ability to type, I'm not sure yet; it already works for me, but intermittently :) )
- continuous display of the remaining turn time in the format (hh:)mm:ss, regardless of which window is active (even the message window).
(In principle, I'm just a step away from implementing a chess timer)
- starting the turn timer after clicking on the "OK" button in the message preceding the turn.
- a wider selection of turn duration (I'm not sure how to do it: either any time from 1 to ?, or just add 3 minutes)
- alliance selection with a user-friendly interface in the original style.
- new fixes for original bugs: refugee camps, admiral's hat.
- the calculation of a hero standing on the outer market will be removed when quickly summoning the market.
- a number of options will be transferred to the game and will have a graphical interface.

I don't know if it's necessary: - it is possible to increase the waiting time for a response from a player, after which the game writes: has left the game (you have become the server); it is possible to add a dialog box with a question: unable to..., try again?

...

* functionality that does not involve high resolutions and minimal expansion of the game interface will be separated into a separate module. (inviting a hero to the tavern, fixing game bugs, choosing paths, etc.)
a number of options, including options for existing fixes for game bugs in HD 2.9x, will only be available when playing HD+module vs HD+module.


Compared to password-protected saves, everything else is secondary! :)
