My question was a bit different. It was about consciously altering the course of the game for one's own benefit.

For example, you see a Griffin Conservatory 2-4, you send a loch there. The Conservatory turns out to be 2, which is easy to take. A disconnect happens. Will you send the loch in again?
This discussion can go on indefinitely. To your specific question, I can give a specific "yes, I will." Or I can give a non-specific answer, as you did, saying that, for example, at 141 I might not remember whether I sent a loch there or not, so if this move did not affect the game's outcome, it's up to the judges' discretion... Indeed, what is the point of rules if there are judges who can correct things if something is wrong.

If you call a respected player an "ass," how can I call you?
Are there any disrespected players who can be called "ass"?

Are there any players who are so bad that they can be called "jerks"?
Well, players who drink a lot, for example, are not very respectable.

Are there any players who are so disrespectful that they can be called names?
And does his nickname actually mean something decent in Polish? Really?
I also find it hard to respect a player who calls himself that; it says a lot about his attitude towards the community.
*it actually does. But I'm not completely convinced.

My opinion is that a top-3 player couldn't have been unaware of the rules, which in this case clearly require repeating the turn as accurately as possible. Forgetting that he didn't do a second hit-and-run and didn't attack with shackles wouldn't have happened even to a noob like me. Interpreting Yara's words "play however you want" as a disregard for fair play is just a tasteless joke about "the wife giving it to the neighbor."

I recently watched a film on this topic (it's from 2002, but it's not outdated at all, it's a good film).

I wrote an article about my first experience with the game King's Bounty and its spiritual successor - Heroes of Might and Magic. In the article, I also talked about my template - Per aspera ad astra; I hope you find it interesting. Enjoy the game!

It's kind of depressing that heroes with a decent online audience these days don't have a live forum. On HeroesWorld it's been really gloomy lately. Maybe I should ask Baratorch to add a link to HeroesWorld in the online lobby? Because I get the feeling that many players simply don't know about this forum.

I haven't visited the forum in a while, and I wanted to say something. The forum is dying, and SoD is completely dead. In the ND mod lobby, there are only 18-20 people online during the day. And on the forum, there are almost no reports. There are some new mods, but is that it for SoD? (I started writing in the round table, but then I thought it wasn't the right topic, and it would be more logical to move the post here, but the previous author had already beaten me to it). One Sir Davos is trying to maintain the standard with heroic resilience, but he won't be able to do it alone. I even visited HotA for comparison, and there are 1000+ people online in the evenings. They are struggling with the load. It's funny, of course (not really). So, there you have it – simultaneous turns on a small map. Well, people have scattered, some into the depths of the game, some have simply grown up, some have played enough. But it's still a bit sad that there is no more activity.

With the introduction of the online lobby, the need for a forum as a platform for organizing games, maintaining statistics, and tracking rankings has diminished. It's now easier to run tournaments on challonge.com. This is the result.
Forums, in general, are becoming less relevant as a place for communication (I can confirm this based on other games) – communication is shifting to thematic Discord servers, etc.

So, come back to Heroes, and we'll revive it together. I have an idea for a new tournament, and I've even made an agreement for prizes for the winners (a one-year subscription to OH from Baratortch and a small prize from a sponsor). The only thing stopping me from finalizing the regulations is chronic fatigue (laziness). But I think we could easily get 30-40 participants. In fact, I'd like to hold a tournament with 24 players: 4 groups of 6 players each, followed by playoffs.

China Uncovers Largest Network of Software Developers Creating Cheats
Law enforcement estimates the criminal syndicate's turnover at $76 million.
In China, members of this criminal organization face real prison sentences. According to Chinese law, even the cheaters themselves face liability in the form of imprisonment for up to five years. Those involved in the development and sale of fraudulent game programs face even more severe punishment.

I even checked out HotU, and there are 1000+ people there in the evenings. The servers are overloaded. It's funny, of course (not really). So, simultaneous turns on a small map.

Yeah, it's sad, but what can you do... the new mod is good, if you don't include everything, SoD is still SoD...
And what is there to do on the forum now? There haven't been any SoD tournaments for a long time...

For me, the sign of the forum's demise will be the cancellation of award ceremonies like "For Contribution to the Heroes Community" and a complete shift of fundraising from the CIS region to other platforms, as this will clearly show that this forum no longer has any influence on the community leaders. And honestly, even if it dies, a huge chunk of the rather large history of the Heroes community will still be preserved here. Something like that.

 

P.S. I wonder if Kostya will organize a nomination for the 21st anniversary?
