REWORK for the Academy. Is it needed or not?

Exactly. It reminds me of childish whims like "I don't like watermelon because it's green/striped/has seeds, etc., so I'm not even going to try it."
A child, by the way, can be persuaded through compromise or mild blackmail. With adult Heroes players, it's more difficult — they'll argue themselves hoarse without even lifting a finger to give it a taste :D

Actually, the main question should be: how long have people been playing SoD? 15 years, and it hasn't changed! But WHY SHOULD IT CHANGE??? It's one thing when there are various improvements in the HD mod for the sake of better gameplay, but it's another thing entirely to change the game's dynamics — where you go into Jebus Cross knowing for sure that there's a Slow spell for mass ground units, or go into Griffin Conservatory knowing there's a mass Haste since it's granted after the rebuild — and a completely different thing to adapt and survive

try it and you'll like it.

And your opinion doesn't matter!! Who do you think you are?! :D :D :D :smile01:

But to get to the point, are you suggesting, Tyoma, that we change the game's dynamics — specifically what I described above, where conservatories and Griffin Conservatories are taken without losses using mass Slow, is that cool, huh?!
