Kilgor, in my opinion, is not a very bright person who doesn't understand the balance of the game at all. And you are exactly that kind of person, since you are yelling about a bugged quick battle feature. The advantage is obvious, and if you think that "the arguments are scattered," then think for yourself who they are scattered by.
My post is aimed at those people who know how to use the human function called "logic." Many people have this hardcoded, and unfortunately, for most.

Leader, the fact that I know this information gives me an advantage only in the sense that I use my brain and am interested, while those who can extract this from pseudocode do so because they have a brain! Are you saying that, for example, Pete has an advantage over other players simply because he plays better? Nonsense! Nonsense!

I won't talk about isolated cases. Quick battle really speeds up the game, and I used to use it myself, but, however, if one player has this advantage, it will lead to a cheating outcome. And don't tell me that you only use it to speed things up. I'm sure that it is used by everyone to avoid wasting mana in battles, to avoid losing an angel in a confrontation (and if I get into at least a tier 3 battle, quick battle will lose even with 10 angels), to avoid making mistakes with neutral creatures, and so on. I've heard all this enough, it's not serious. If there weren't unscrupulous players, there wouldn't be any problems with introducing these features. Only a few know how to make the terrain invisible in incognito mode; I, for example, know, and in 2.98 it cannot be fixed, but in 3+ it is detected, and you won't be able to start the game. All this whining and so on, like "I'm saving time" – leave it for bedtime stories; I'm one of those who thinks with their head, and I won't be convinced by this nonsense.

I came from the 5th Heroes game, and for me, it's "wild" to play without a "re-playable quick battle" and simultaneous turns. And if they can't implement the second one (hopefully, only for now), then I can't understand why there are so many conservatives who come up with some "advantages" and so on. As I wrote above, everyone should be forced to play on HD, and then there will be no problems (at least in tournaments). And if someone doesn't want to play on that mode and really wants to speed up the game and make it more comfortable, why should other players suffer from this?

Here, your problem is only with those who play in tournaments. I sometimes have the same problem in casual games, but that's not the point. No one forces you to play with those who use bugged versions of HD that give advantages, with those who don't use HD at all, and so on.
