Wow, what intense battles are happening here! It's interesting to see how it will all end.

What is the fundamental difference between a checkbox and a new template "for SoD"?

The fundamental difference is that you have to manually rewrite all the existing templates. And in each folder, there will be 2 .rmg files, which is not very convenient. And they won't be in the standard Heroes of Might and Magic collection; you'll have to download them manually from somewhere. But adding a button would take a maximum of an hour.

But in any case, it's much easier than rewriting everything from scratch for SoD.

Well, it's obvious that no one will play this, but since they asked for it, here you go :)

update: Vatya, it's not a fundamental difference.

Gameplay on such templates will be far from SoD, as many HotA changes are not disabled at the template level. For example, changes in castle balance, starting armies, skills, etc.

I suspect it will turn out like "WT under SoD" — neither side will like it.

Even TE-Light didn't catch on, although there were practically no differences from SoD gameplay. To be fair, that was in the pre-HD era; now it's easier with interface add-ons.

As for "writing your own Heroes engine" — there is a project called VCMI where people are doing exactly that. You can study their experience.

It has long been known that historical events tend to repeat themselves. :D

And this is what the TrueSoD fans want to keep. They are mainly bothered by new objects/artifacts/units. Well, as I understand it, it's what is visually noticeable.

You understood the words written by some of them, but you didn't understand their thoughts.

It is well known that historical events tend to repeat themselves.

I would put it differently: sooner or later, something always "goes wrong" :) Contrary to popular belief, the Universe is unstable, although everyone is used to thinking that it is stable. Things around are born and die, like soap bubbles. People come and go, what is considered important today turns out to be empty and loses its significance tomorrow. However, something in this flow remains unchanged. And this something is what we are all here for. Everyone deep down is looking for exactly this, but out of ignorance, they cling to things that will eventually dissolve, thinking that they can find themselves in these things. Hence, all these disagreements and divisions arise: "SoD players," "HoTa players," "Wt players," etc... It's not that important; SoD will die sooner or later, HoTa will die sooner or later; these are all temporary phenomena. We have forgotten about the most important thing - what does not change, the "background" from which, observing all these squabbles and battles, is nothing more than childish foolishness. True intelligence and creative energy come precisely from this background, and not from attachment to things, clinging to versions and nuances. Only by becoming an "observer" can one bring something new and fresh into this world, and into the hero world in particular. As beautifully said in one book: "You are here to let the Universe unfold, that's how important you are!"

Thank you for your attention :)

To be honest, I think we need to tighten the forum rules regarding off-topic posts. For example, if a topic has a "Important" tag, posts that are not related to the topic and do not carry any meaningful content should be deleted, similar to what Romantic tried to do at the beginning of the topic, but instead of just deleting these posts, assign penalty points. There are too many "smart" people with their exclusively "significant" opinions.

If you're talking about Marcus's post, then it's probably the only intelligent post in the topic. I saved it for posterity.

There's a very pronounced sense of superiority of opinion. Maybe you should create a topic for the two of you and keep quiet about high-minded things there.
