Let me reiterate the main idea: 1. Consolidate players in the Heroes community under a single version. 2. Create favorable conditions for players, such as a unified ranking system, to provide a simple and accessible way to have additional motivation for playing, all in an international format. The Heroes community is already divided into two camps that constantly argue. If HD puts players in such conditions, it won't be any better, even considering the optional nature of the changes. Regarding Tournaments on the Heroes community platform, I don't think people in China or many other countries know what the Heroes community is, and I don't think they will accept it because there are many mods, and they will have their own people who will feel that Heroes needs to be modified according to their vision of the game's development, which will not coincide with ours. We either talk about Tournaments within the CIS and Bay area, or we talk about attracting other resources and countries to these Tournaments. But I agree, two versions are playable, and everyone should enjoy their own version. An idea that is understandable to everyone and in all languages: Announcement: HD mod is a really nice and important mod for HoMM3. It's compatible with HoMM3 SOD/Complete versions and is easy to install. It doesn't change gameplay (http://www.heroes-iii.com/). I think it will not be difficult to convey this simple thought to all other resources. If, in the end, we add ** and indicate that, according to certain parameters, even with good intentions to fix bugs, the gameplay will be changed, this will cause heated discussions on various forums, and it will simply no longer be posted with a recommendation. I think Baratorch is not just wondering why people don't install version 3.xx because even the Russian Community, which communicates in the same language, cannot fully understand the "harmlessness" of the changes. If HD was intended to improve SOD but not change it, it makes sense to move in this direction, seeing its spread. This, it seems, is the key to success.
