Rom, as always, you have so many complaints about EVERYTHING. Have you yourself done anything useful? Or at least suggested something worthwhile?

Nah, I didn't watch. But either way, interpreting it as a "rest after an encounter" is a failure. And continuing with the hero's dismissal is a good option, in any case, it's better than a "rest after an encounter."
Not to everyone. I played here, and I don't have the desire to do anything useful. No one needs to be added; you're right, there are no people, and there's also no point in keeping people who don't fit. They also influence you; with your tolerance towards them, you sometimes accept things that you wouldn't believe if someone else said them. The conclusion is that you and Pete would definitely handle it better than this team, and I think there would be more trust.
How can you use "buggy passages"? On the campaign map, without breaking the Guard of the Gate, you can't go from your starting point to the opponent's starting point, so without breaking the guard, they couldn't have met. They couldn't break the Guard of the Gate on the first try, so what "rest after an encounter" are you talking about, Kostya?
