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

what to do when you're in a panic and get a Pikedram at the start, or, say, 12 Gnolls?

It's elementary, you need to take a rest, considering such circumstances, that is, in 3 generations - I don't believe that all 3 will be unplayable.

After WotG, playing with time stopping in battles and a fixed timer seems absurd.

When I switched to playing with a timer, I was incredibly nervous and made mistakes, even rushing in battles, even now. So, a certain percentage of players will suffer greatly from this. [off]And the constant timer in WotG also bothers me, although it is convenient.[/off]

It's NOT NORMAL when a player in battle can pour themselves a drink and scratch their butt. The requirements of the party limit (6+ hours) should not allow wasting seconds here and there.

You're judging by yourself, well, you're an experienced player, but less powerful players need additional processing time to process information, even in battle, you can calmly think.

killing a horde of zombies with a ballista and snakes is NOT a skill, it's just disrespect to the opponent.

Normal players often warn - there will be a long turn now, but, of course, a pause when switching and/or sound indication is very necessary - well, it's not in WotG either.

I counted 3 restarts out of 113, approximately 15%.

Sorry, I also looked at the reports - and I don't remember that, I just looked at the last few pages - out of 15 mentions of restarts, there is not a single 113, so... Let some (hypothetical) percentage of 113 restarts be lost - but the game will become "more skill-based" and a little faster.

approximately 25% of players don't use rests at all, using only a couple of rests.

so 2 taken rests is 100% rest usage!!

restart on 113, which is often forced.

...which will definitely be a 112 that wasn't taken... 20-40 minutes of time.

You can turn on the sound effects in the game and you will hear when it's your turn.

can't even go to the toilet.

And extraneous sounds make you run back and forth, it's quite possible to get confused and forget (people don't play with just the sound)
