Posts from Simultaneous turn in a turn-based strategy game.

Good afternoon.
I think I'm not the only one who would like to see simultaneous turns in SOD (or just one? :)).
How difficult is it to implement?
Who could do it?

As far as I understand, Baratorch is not interested in developing SOD because of HOT – is this the reason, or is there something else?

If it's a matter of money, I'm willing to be a sponsor...

In general, what are your opinions on this?

If this topic already exists or the question has been raised, please excuse me, I couldn't find it.

I am for OH in Soda. This significantly reduces game time, which increases its appeal. If this feature is implemented like in HotA, old-school players can play without it, while those who want to play games faster can do so with significantly less time investment (for Jebus Cross, for example, about 1.5 times less for sure).

I'm for having both Heroes of Might and Magic Online and a standalone version, so there's a choice of how to play. And I'm against restricting the standalone version, so that all the benefits are only for the online version, while the opinions of players are not taken into account.

That would be great.

We may want to, but...

What can you do. Probably, this is a question of the developer's motivation.
Kickstarter is a good thing for increasing the motivation of the specialist(s) who are willing to spend their time.
I would join the list of sponsors under such circumstances.

But Baratorch won't do that. There was a relevant topic or answer to a question in a thread somewhere, I don't remember the details anymore, and it's inconvenient to search for it on a tablet. I'm also all for it and, if necessary, I'm ready to contribute to raising funds to encourage Baratorch or someone else to create an OH in Sode.

I hope that this is something that not only Baratortch and his team can handle. Although, we need not just a programmer, but a programmer-enthusiast who is at least a little interested in the game. "We will keep looking..."

I recently wrote to Baratortch on his YouTube channel regarding offering money for improvements to Heroes of Might and Magic in Soda. But I still haven't received a response. Therefore, we need to look for other people. And since WizarDX is also planning to restructure the guild for HotA, there are fewer and fewer people who could do this. But I would also try to gather enough "gold" for Soda... Sometimes it's easier to create something from scratch than to tinker with the resources of a closed game. You could write Heroes in Delphi, and every schoolchild could improve the game. I started working on it at one time, and there are many developments from that time, but I don't have enough time to continue (maybe in the future). Plus, this wouldn't limit or delay the overall game development. But here, there will be a problem with copyright and not only that. Therefore, it's necessary to not make a 1-to-1 copy of the game, but to take the mechanics of Heroes and make significant changes. Here's a video of those developments from almost two years ago (although some moments were completed later, bugs were fixed, a template editor was created, and there were developments on conducting battles, etc.): Video Some developments

We need to find a volunteer (programmer) first. If there are any, please contact me in a private message!

probably give a beaver to ох, me too :smile54:

Do you think an external programmer can easily jump in and do this? It's highly doubtful.

well, let's see how many beavers they manage to gather :rolleyes:

Yes, I think that no matter how much information you gather, it takes at least a couple of months for a person to truly understand it, and a couple more years to implement it. Let's hope I'm wrong...
