Red Orb (Sphere of Prohibition)

to make balance out of imbalance

We are still trying to do this with the rules.

TP vs. DD, Berserk vs. Hypnosis, etc.

offtopic: Hypnosis in SoD is very strong :D

You also say that someone will never realize that such a SoD is bad, or that the Orb is bad. Let me reveal a small secret: awareness is understanding that a person simply prefers either VT or SoD, and not understanding that your desires must necessarily be desired by others.

Let me reveal a secret to you. The point is not at all in my desires, which must necessarily be desired by others. And not at all in the fact that some people like VT and SoD more or less. I'm tired of repeating this.

But in the fact that the understanding really comes with time. The choice of what you like/don't like is not made randomly. But based on a series of events. Perhaps games. Perhaps analysis. It's hard to describe. I didn't say that you can't understand this in principle; play another hundred games, new situations will arise. You will remember this old, forgotten topic. And maybe you will radically change your opinion.
Of course, there are old-school players who realize all the "charm" of the Orb. They say we like it this way. We love SoD as it is. But if you dig deeper, why does this happen?I'm afraid to suggest that it's in order to keep everything running according to established patterns. To use the classics. Tazar + Red Orb, and so on. They don't love "SoD as it is," but rather these rules that they are used to playing by. It's not for nothing that they are different on every site. Even though SoD seems to be the same. We have one set of rules, the Westerners have another, the Chinese have a third.

And I wasn't saying that SoD is bad, but that, in my opinion, these rules with the Red Orb are far from perfect. (although they strive for perfection). It is they that are bad, as they limit magic and mages when there is a massive imbalance in the number of warriors in the game. And I insist that when you say SoD, please call the original SoD without restrictions SoD. Only it is such. And SoD with rules is no longer SoD.

and think about it:
why were the rules invented?
why don't you play without rules?
why are some rules introduced normally and without problems, while others are difficult


don't answer right away

The topic can really be closed:) The main question has been resolved, and it's good that most people are in favor of the Orb.

well, thank you for the permission, captain. I think that's what one of the moderators was waiting for :D

that's all from me. I'm tired of repeating myself.
