Posts from Complete+HD mod: units move slowly during combat. Auto-translated

For the past few years, I've only been playing Hota+HD, and I've gotten used to many of its features. Then, someone suggested I try the Paragon2.0 map. I started playing it on HOTA and got stuck on the part where you have to walk on water and use a bug to fly over to the fountain. I had to start over, but this time on SOD. In the very first battle, I was almost shocked by how slow the combat was. The units take an eternity to move, even with the maximum speed setting. Is there a way to fix this and increase the combat speed?

NEVER play these maps on HotA or WoG or any other mod that changes the gameplay!!! The map author wrote about this in a message at the beginning of the game - don't say you didn't read the text! On HotA or WoG or another mod, the map may become unplayable.
Play this map only in SOD or Complete Collection. The same applies to other RPG maps not intended for HotA or WoG.

You might as well start playing Heroes of Might and Magic I with 6424...

The map author himself wrote about this in a message at the beginning of the game – just don't tell me you didn't read the text!

I was also watching a recorded stream from Майкер:smile26:. Майкер said that the game itself might crash or glitch, but I didn't experience any crashes, and at the beginning, I was given a ring with -1 to morale, so I didn't want to start over. Considering that I explored the map and all the secrets (up to the waterfall and the book of water), I literally completed it in 2.3.6 (3 hours of real time), took all the red castles, and defeated the main Orc hero with 52 archangels (92 creatures/~250 orcs, the rest is not important) :D

Thanks, I found it in the attached topic here; it's strange that the creator of the HD mod didn't do this.

But the person really put in a lot of effort; the maps from the campaign are so poorly made that 90% of the SOD campaign is passed using the Dimension Door spell.

The main thing to remember, and why you shouldn't play SoD RPG-style maps in HotA or WoG: in these mods, the rules and gameplay differ from SoD, and in some aspects, they are fundamentally different. For example, in HotA, if a spell is globally prohibited on a map, it won't even appear in the spellbook of the corresponding element or with the Wizard's Hat. There are also differences in water movement: for example, on another map ("Ray of Light"), there is a garrison behind the water, which can only be reached by walking on water; you can't disembark from a boat there, and we don't even have a boat at that stage of the Challenge. The garrison is located right at the edge of the shore; you need to reach it, defeat it, and stop. In SoD, everything works normally, as intended by the author, but in HotA, it won't work because a free cell is required. And in WoG, there are many things that change the gameplay, WoG settings, and even the possibility of WoGifying the map at the start: in this case, some objects are replaced with others (WoG objects). There are many such examples, but people keep stubbornly running into these problems.
Maps specifically designed for HotA and WoG have been created. If you want to play with the objects and rules of HotA or WoG, play those maps.
Finally, regarding Mike's stream of "Paragon": I took the time to find this video. From the very beginning, it's clear that he has a FULL SET! Where exactly does he say that the map can be played in HotA or WoG?

the maps from the campaign are so poorly made that 90% of the SoD campaign is completed using the Dimension Door.

Where did you get the Dimension Door from? What the...? I'm too lazy to delve into the standard campaigns, but if it's not in "The Rebirth of Erathia," then Flight and Dimension Door are definitely disabled there (in the editor of the "Rebirth" version, it wasn't yet possible to disable individual spells).

They probably disabled Flight and Dimension Door there.

I can confirm. I completed all the Platinum campaigns right before the new year – I didn't find Flight or Dimension Door anywhere, including in the Warlock campaigns. The exception is the first mission of the second-to-last campaign in The Shadow of Death (where you start as Oleg, level 25).
