"Who dared to try and interfere with me expressing my important arguments!?"

Well, in reality, you're gentle, and you're just pretending to be strict).

To be honest, I think the forum rules regarding off-topic posts need to be tightened. For example, if a thread 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 thread, but with the addition of assigning penalty points for deleting these posts.
There are too many "smart" people with their exclusively "significant" opinions.

If you haven't noticed, the thread is not at the top of the section, therefore it is not important, and anyone can freely express themselves in it. Your opinion about tightening the rules is also very important to us (not really) and is not off-topic; you could have described the essence of the problem and methods for solving it in another section, where you could have done so calmly, instead of creating off-topic posts, otherwise you contradict yourself.

In general, most of the key people have already expressed their opinions. The position is clear; now we need to find an external programmer, persuade him to start working on Asma OH's developments, and at the same time raise a large sum to pay for his work.

You're exaggerating a bit with that 3.5 million.

It's clear that this is too much for developing an OH (Online Hall).
This is the amount I'm willing to sacrifice my reputation for, argue with the Hota team, and forget about Hota. These are the funds that could significantly improve my financial situation. Although, we can still negotiate here. ))

If those interested can get Sav's approval, I'll create an OH for Sod for a much smaller amount.

Well, now at least we see that creating an OH (Online Hall) in the SOD (Stronghold Online Dungeon) is quite possible (which is definitely a good thing), although before, if I'm not mistaken, we were being persuaded otherwise.

It's clear that for the development of OX, this is too much.
This is a sum for which I am ready to sacrifice my reputation, fall out with the HotA team, and forget about HotA. This is money that could significantly improve my well-being. Although even here, one can haggle ))

If those interested manage to get Sav's consent, then I will make OX for SoD for a sum an order of magnitude smaller.

In some sense, we are all "for sale"; receiving a salary, a fee, or commissions/profit—it is normal to receive some reward for your activity. I see nothing unnatural here.
It's another matter that you cannot sell your reputation for any amount of money, let alone announce it publicly. It is practically impossible to restore afterward. It's like losing your entire army on 141 by being a noob in Dragon Utopia; basically, you have to start a new life:)

I'm really laughing. :smile40: baratorch, no offense, I just remembered a relevant joke.

Not relevant. I'm not selling anything. What "no offense" are you talking about?

Well, now at least we see that making an overhaul for SoD is quite possible (which is a good thing), although before, if I'm not mistaken, they tried to convince us otherwise.

No one said it was impossible. But it can't be done with a snap of the fingers either.

In general, nothing is impossible.
In principle, any desired features can be implemented in Heroes. The question is one of interest, effort, and time.

If you're asking me to make an overhaul for SoD, then it so happens that you also need to ask Sav about it. Ask him how much he values his work. Maybe you can make him an offer he can't refuse.

***

I am constantly offered to implement features for money, but I constantly refuse, primarily because I simply don't believe that anyone can offer me a significant amount.

Basically, all questions are resolved by stating the price, presumably something like this:
A good developer (it's pointless to work with others on this) costs 1.2-1.5k rubles/hour.
A small request takes 10-15 hours of work,
A medium request takes 50-100 hours,
And large changes take from 200 hours,
Global changes, like those for a new faction, take even more...

baratorch, sorry if I offended you. I deleted the post. I was referring to reputation.

if I fall asleep for 100 years and then wake up and they ask me what's going on in Russia... I'll answer:
-They drink and steal...:rolleyes:

Are simultaneous turns working in SOD? Does Simultaneous Turn mode work in Heroes III: The Shadow of Death? Or is it only a feature in Horn of the Abyss?

only hota

It would be great if we could place bets on all matches and use the winnings to develop heroes.

Guys, for those who still haven't figured it out: talk to Asm and see how he values this project. You can tell people that a freelancer was found on the site (maybe some will feel better about it and won same be so salty), it makes no difference; the result is what matters. Plus, Asm knows his stuff unlike random programmers—he has experience.

It's obvious that motivation is needed. Time = money. These are adults with families. (And some are even ludomaniacs »). It will take a lot of time to focus fully for the fastest possible result.

In short,

1. Agreement yes/no.
2. The price point.
3. Timeframe. Within what period should the finished product be expected? (Coding + debugging).
4. What we want. The objective.

Clearly, Sav won't bless Baratorch because HotA is his brainchild, and they have chosen this tactic of political pressure and blackmailing players in the struggle for online numbers. And that is a weakness. A fear of competition. You are targeting a wider spectrum of players, thousands of single-player fans etc., so what's the problem?
Grow your own community, make it trendy, so that SoD players want to play it and show off their skill. Maybe you'll win them over, rather than forcing it upon them.
Not like it is now: "you want OH? here is HotA; don't want HotA? - fuck off!"

Look at history. Where are the TEs now? The same method of imposition was used. (There was also a stereotype back then that people playing SoD were mentally retarded. I won't point fingers at the preachers)
Indeed, hotkeys back then were a revolution on the level of today's OH.

Guys from HotA, purely technically you've done some really cool things, like OH and the lobby; that is truly progress one step forward, evolution, etc., but HotA itself... thank you very much, good luck to it and all the best! (burn in hell with bright flames). If I were to write down all my feelings about it, it would be a long—very long post, full of swearing, and I'd get banned. Although for the most part I don't give a damn, it wouldn't change the essence of the matter.

I am creating a Lobby server with OX for SoD.
The service will be paid.
