DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

The person who created the terrain for the game probably didn't anticipate such a situation, especially in online play. In my opinion, it's a flaw in the developer's design, cleverly exploited by Oldboy. In any case, the situation is resolved either by the judges or by the player's own sense of honor. The judges' position is 99.99% predictable.
