I registered on HeroesWorld for the first time — you can verify this by checking my IP or even MAC address.
I first got acquainted with this game when I was about 9 years old — I was upgrading Vampires, leveling Diplomacy, and blowing up max-comp stacks like a god.
This time around, I started playing roughly from the beginning of March. The reason for my interest in the game was two old recorded games that a friend recommended I watch: the 1st one by Namvan playing Stronghold, the 2nd by Dёti Pleer playing Tower.
I started with Game Ranger and noob games like "2 min only pro". I played about 15 games, never lost, and got bored. I registered on VCL and played there for a while. Later, a guy recommended this portal to me, arguing: "Great Russian-speaking community with higher skill than VCL."
yeah, and I disliked this character from the start. Watched 1 stream and became the Universe Champion in Heroes 3.
most likely he's a previously flagged CHMCH player, now logged in under a different nickname. And that's where his skill comes from. That's it.
just don't start shouting that I'm being rude or obnoxious. It's amusing already.
What makes you think I'm going to shout? At you? A guy who's foaming at the mouth for 5 pages because an opponent suggested rescheduling a game? A guy who creates a thread: "How to break the Stronghold in the second week?" Yeah, right :-D
I'm being hit with ridiculous cheating accusations, like: "You didn't take the road. You went to the bird dwelling that's visible from the start and located 1000 MP away from the town. Map hack."
And at the same time, they turn a blind to moments like: an unrevealed Griffin Conservatory under the town that wasn't found because of a block of some Magog horde. An undiscovered level-7 dwelling right under their nose. Changing the main hero's direction and wasting thousands of MP due to a suddenly scouted bonus in the depths of the respawn, and so on.
I'll repeat once more:
Guys, I understand it all, of course — it's easier to say I'm cheating than to admit I'm playing quite well. But put yourselves in my shoes, just imagine you're completely innocent, and you're being accused of something that isn't true.
I have the saves, I just forgot to archive that particular game.
If I were an unstable tryhard, I'd be foaming at the mouth spamming in caps that I'm innocent. Good thing I'm not. If this mark stays, I'll accept the injustice of human judgment and give up on this game. It'll even do me good.
