CIS-13 in Minsk – it’s winter!!!

By the way, you can simply uncheck a box, and the neutral creatures will have morale...

That's exactly what no Warlord Tournament (WT) player wants to do, and it's a pity.
WT corrupts with its polished and simplified approach. First, you disable morale, then classes appear, then a bank, then experience, and that's it, lights out – the person becomes too "EXPERIENCED" to play on the Standard Order of Development (SOD).
The question isn't about what's better/more correct/more competitive, but about what's more interesting to play. And SOD beats WT in this regard, however strange that may sound. In the pursuit of "competitiveness," the sharpness is lost.
I can say this as a player who has played both versions extensively. At one time, I advocated for a unified version of the game – WT adapted to SOD as much as possible, but unfortunately, neither the SOD players nor, even more strangely, the WT players accepted this.
