And I'm thinking, maybe who needs them at all?

I don't need them at all. I mean, how to shake money out of Baratorch for them, because the HeroesWorld forum is only a small part of the player base, and from a profit perspective, it would be great to come up with a model where these players also chip in.

Why do they throw all their resources into HotA, refusing money (they were offered, everyone knows about it)

"They can't compromise their principles" (quote)
Many HotA enthusiasts would gladly provide financial support to the team (because "one and a half cacti per year" has become a well-known saying), but the project is non-commercial for principled reasons. However, on the other hand, it's nice to know that there are still idealistic people around. :smile23:

Well, as for the forces, everything is quite clear; Baratorch says plainly that he's interested in HotA, while SoD is viewed as a source of income, and the person wants to get something for their work—there's nothing wrong with that. In principle, SoD is viable even without OH, but its presence will be a pleasant bonus for a player (like me) who plays HotA when there isn't much time for a full game of SoD.

.

apparently, it's from streams where people donate money; instead of playing for money, they'll be donating to subscriptions.

why even disassemble the SOD if HotA exists?

If I understand the message correctly, you (you're not going to) buy a subscription. But at the same time, you're worried about other people's money (so that everyone else gets OH for free). Is that right?:smile04:

Yes, I'm not going to. I'm not worried about other people's money, but about the split in the community, which will eventually lead to no one to play with if a third plays HotA, a third plays in the SoD lobby, and a third plays the old-fashioned way through Hamachi. Oh, and I remembered TeamViewer. Personally, OH isn't very important to me, but if I already have the opportunity to play, I don't want to worry about messages like "five minutes left" on the screen.

Those who suggest something like this, I want to ask, "how old are you?" :D
I'm just starting to imagine the process of "chipping in," plus all the associated hassle, and I just want to put my hand to my face.

I'm 29 years old. Anticipating further questions, I use online banking only once every 3 months when I pay taxes, and it's a pain and a hassle for me, and I don't want to add another session of communicating with Big Brother (I went into the army because of my beliefs).

I agree with Aive that I would buy a one-time purchase.

I don't know this word. In my opinion, SoD is better than Hota, even without HotA, but if HotA is added to it, it will be more enjoyable to play a game faster.

3 million. Why not 33? :D

I don't know that word; in my opinion, SoD even without OX is better than HotA, but if it has OX, it will be more pleasant to play a match faster.

And for me, HotA even without OX is better than SoD even with OX. And by far.

And why not? The number might be a bit inflated, but the price is quite reasonable.

In my opinion, Hota is even better than Soda, even without Overlord's Helm, and it's not even comparable.

Yes, I understand that everyone has their own priorities; I just think that if someone decides to do something and wants to earn money, they shouldn't make any demands. You can either agree to their terms or not, that's all.

Interesting discussion. Maybe this has already been mentioned, but it seems to me that the optimal solution would be the same lobby in *The Shadow of Death* as in *Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia*, but as optional paid functionality. Playing *Heroes 3* through GameRanger and Hamachi is not very convenient; a lobby would allow attracting completely casual players, in the spirit of playing against a friend while having a beer and some squid. For these people, *Online Battles* are completely unnecessary, because they play once a month, and the thought of paying for a popular game will cause confusion. Experienced players, on the other hand, will pay and enjoy playing in their own environment.

In my opinion, Hota is even better than Sod, even without Overlord Heroes. And it's not even close.

You're right, Kostya, you just mixed up the words "Hota" and "Sod" ;)

Nope, I didn't mix them up:p And all for one reason (which is why I started playing Warlords). From the start, always 3 stacks and a level 2 building, the rest doesn't matter. Restarts aren't wasted on flipping a coin (there's enough of that in Heroes anyway).

Is it possible to implement this in SoD?
