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

In my opinion, the situation isn't that critical. Shemonyu made a mistake and lost. Oldboy skillfully used the terrain. No matter what anyone says, the situation is similar to the impossibility of a faster unit catching up to an attacking unit, or even more so, it's like a battle where the defender in a castle destroys a catapult, while the attacker only has infantry units. Even if the attacker's army is a hundred times larger than the defender's, they can't get past the castle walls. They either need to occupy that cell or have magic to kill the opponent in such a situation.
