Simply because the SoD community is sluggish and amorphous.

Don't you think that if you have something, you ask questions to clarify something, and you don't get any response, you can just give up on such an interlocutor? Because the esteemed baratorch only replies to those messages and those individuals that he deems necessary. For example, I've given up on everything above 2.98 because the author ignores some perfectly reasonable questions (specifically from me) and apparently considers this to be correct.

The very concept of baratorch's development lately, unfortunately for me as well, is proceeding without considering the opinions of the SoD community, to which I belong. This doesn't mean the concept is bad, but it does mean it doesn't suit SoD players and is, in principle, extremely hasty in decision-making for the SoD environment. Hence the scant harvest of feedback regarding the implementations.

HEY HEY HEY, guys, when resolving any issues, we need to take into account which part of the geographic map we are on...

First of all, there are places where one or another part of Heroes players is concentrated (HeroesWorld, portal, LoH, WCL, WT, and others). When creating your own product, you need to target one or another concentrated-diluted layer of gamers (whichever is closer to the author).

Each resource has its own rules regarding the original SoD. These rules are paramount for everyone there, if any tournament is organized, and tournaments are certainly the dominant assessment of the need for innovations. Everywhere (probably) there is a certain set of rules for organizing tournaments. When organizing a tournament, it is necessary to ensure that players play the same version of Heroes. The differences in the mod, which has spread and even "infected" (given the incorrect injections) directly affect the ABSOLUTE majority of players. Let's go back to reading reports. How many reports exist where games were razor-thin, where a bit of mana, a few ones, and other things decided the outcome.

Why are even minimal version differences not taken into account? There definitely needs to be some base version, and all changes should be secondary. At this point, it can be said unequivocally that version 2.98 has become the very best for the majority in its various forms, and that's what we need to start from.

Most people won't follow every update; there needs to be a BASE that will be minimally altered. Otherwise, the HD mod will simply split into many fragments, which is undesirable, but the process has already begun. Everyone will play the BASE, and renegades from the BASE will play the base versions. So, society has already roughly defined this BASE; it's 2.98. There's no need to prove anything to anyone here; you simply can't force your "ideally perceived model" on someone else.

- Further, starting from the BASE and based on the opinions of players who have accepted it, changes should be introduced, but extremely delicately.

- From the start of the tournament to its middle, a ton of mod changes were unleashed into the world. Starting from 2.9... up to the current state. It's simply unrealistic to play tournaments on all versions in a row within a single tournament (I foresee a critical problem in choosing versions and options in the future). Reading the differences, advantages, choosing one version or another depending on what your opponent has at the start of each match is just nonsense. We need to run away from that as fast as we can.

Regarding the quick battle:it should be unwinnable, but bug-free!

often people will deliberately stall for time, in retaliation for the opponent's long turns or just to get on their nerves.

There are also situations where people stall so the opponent thinks everything is going well for you and there are tons of battles, all for the sake of getting a restart.
