I'm not a player myself, but I often watch Heroes (SOD) streams and can appreciate the usefulness of the online lobby and online battles. I'm a programmer myself, and I understand how much effort has been put into this project. It's surprising to see people who only consider the server maintenance costs and don't account for the enormous amount of time spent on development (time equals money; even for an average programmer, 8 years is worth tens of thousands of dollars). As a viewer, I'm willing to donate to Baratortch and can suggest that streamers support this initiative by adding some information and a link to donate specifically to Baratortch. Even a small amount will accumulate, and it will be a nice gesture. This way, at least viewers will learn what makes the online battles and lobby possible; I, for example, found this topic by chance.

On the official website of the mod, there is a donate section.

Sometimes I see how some patrons of Heroes 3 donate 20, 30, or even more thousands of rubles to so-called top Heroes streamers on Twitch. Do you think Baratorch collected comparable amounts through donations in a year? I don't think so. And if that's the case, we can now better understand the essence of his outrage regarding the support for the project.

Money is money, but is there a way to announce on the forum when the lobby server is down? For example: "Today, the lobby server will be offline from approximately 8:30 to 9:00 Moscow time." For those who find it very difficult to play via TV/Hamachi, this would be extremely helpful. Thank you.

Do you think Baratorch collected comparable amounts in donations over a year? I don't think so. And if that's the case, we can now better understand the essence of his outrage regarding project support.

The comparison is incorrect, and you're the one who's upset, not Baratorch, it seems.)

The comparison is incorrect, and you're just being overly sensitive, not the "baratorcha," it seems.

That's right. If the patrons hadn't forgotten about "baratorcha," he would have been completely satisfied with the situation and wouldn't have introduced monetization for his project. And now, everyone will have to pay a subscription.

Has even one streamer put a link to the developer's donation page in their profile?

I think you know the answer.

Well, start streaming and post it, what's the problem?

So, yesterday I was playing with OH, he skips his turn as Red without taking a restart, and I do the same as Blue. Both timers are running, but nothing happens. Is that how it's supposed to be?
Also, I noticed that when you set, for example, medium and fast roads, only medium roads are created. Someone takes a restart, and a replay is created without exiting the game. Medium roads are always created (the same happens with fast roads). If not always, then almost always.

Baratorch... create another thread like that... something like "give a friend a 'dad' account" for a month. Because sometimes an opponent doesn't have enough Honor Points... and there's no way to get them at the moment... but if you could just give them an account for a month... that would be nice).

So, yesterday I was playing against a player with a high Honor Points score. He skipped his turn with the red faction without taking a restart, and I did the same with the blue faction. Both of our timers were running, but nothing happened. Is that how it's supposed to be?
And I also noticed that when you set, for example, medium and fast maps, only medium maps are created. Someone takes a restart, and a rematch is created without leaving the game, and medium maps are always created (the same with fast maps). If not always, then almost always...
I've also noticed this with medium maps.
And in the rating, the player Bolo has a 33-0 score, but I played against him and won... it seems like he left and didn't acknowledge the defeat. Such ratings are not needed; they mislead newcomers).

Baratorch... create another thread like this... something like "gift a friend a 'dad' unit" for a month. Because sometimes an opponent doesn't have enough gold... and there's no opportunity at the moment... but if you could just gift it to them for a month... that would be great.
For now, there's the following possibility: a friend clicks on a link from the game to their personal page and sends you the address of that page. And you, in turn, pay through that page. Judging by the logs, some have already figured out how to do this.
And in the rating, player Bolo has 33-0, but I played against him and won... it seems he left and didn't acknowledge the defeat. Such ratings are not needed; they mislead beginners.
Yes, the rating is not very reliable yet. But it will only be absolutely reliable with human judging. Of course, I really want to and have been planning for a long time mechanisms that prevent leaving without acknowledging defeat. But it's very complicated. First, we need to implement game tracking and statistics. Most likely, developments in this direction will be implemented in the fall (provided that the Sod lobby remains active). I will reset Bolo's rating.

After the game twaryna vs FTS had slow roads 7 times in a row, we also started to suspect something :D :D :D
