It really does seem like a cult – the lack of optionality and the inability to disable the new features of HotA (as it was implemented in WoG – the ability to play WoG under SoD).
Although, it would seem that this would only benefit the entire community.

HotA has a template editor where you can disable any objects (including all the new HotA ones). But it's easier to complain about the lack of optionality and the inability to disable the new features than to try to figure it out. This is what I call being a fanatic and being unwilling to accept anything new.

Can you also fix Fly?

You can't fly, but you can disable the marshmallows, factories, graveyards (and generally any objects), Heroes of Might and Magic art, and even the dock.

After lengthy debates about the lore of the heroes and so on (allegedly "accurate" graphical changes), a new bug appeared: you can't fly over a pot of mercury (yes, the flight should be possible).

HotC has a template editor where you can, among other things, disable any objects (including all the new HotC ones). But it's easier to write about the lack of optionality and the impossibility of disabling innovations than to try and figure it out. This is exactly what sectarism and an unwillingness to accept something new are.

Hmm. I didn't know that. Can you provide a link to the manual?
So, if I understand you correctly, it's possible to remove any objects for any random template, right? And the map in the game itself will be generated without them?
Then why not implement enabling/disabling objects with simple checkboxes directly in the game during map creation?
In HotA, what personally bothers me most is the clutter of new objects. If they are removed, it becomes SoD without bugs, with adjusted skills, convenient buttons, etc.: everyone would be for that.

Yes, that's correct.

The editor itself is the RMG Template Editor.exe file in the game folder.

Is it possible to remove any artifacts using the template editor?

2. You can prohibit the Dock everywhere, there will be no villages or hidden locations, but the Dock's units will remain on guard.
