HoMM3 HD is a mod (add-on) for the game Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

I absolutely agree that every action should cost time: using a ballista against a horde of zombies, maneuvering a single harpy against earth elemental nests, and especially when it comes to demonology.

And how many examples can you give of situations where this specifically affected your time, or someone else's? So, no need for trolling and making general conclusions. Such cases are not frequent and do not have a systemic character; at least, you won't find any mentions of dissatisfaction in reports or anywhere else. In the end, for the particularly persistent, you can introduce a battle difficulty coefficient that affects its duration. It's no longer about saving time; it's about silencing those who are unhappy under this guise. You'll end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

rebellious, it's as if he lives in a different reality and doesn't understand how critical even a 20-second loss is in a crucial turn. I understand when newbies make silly mistakes, but for you, it has become the norm... a pathetic sight. What you consider your point of view is nonsense, which is not supported by the nonsense you are spreading here.

When reality is filled with one-handed bandits, perhaps delusional nonsense is more than appropriate. You have been clearly explained that you saved 20 seconds on the timer, but lost 30 seconds wandering around somewhere. So, who needs such savings? Think, comrades, think.
