Well, why am I even making an add-on... actually, the phrase "because I want to" fits better here.
The goals are approximately as follows:
- to create unified game rules
- to create a unified game hero space
- to continue the good work of Horn and create a worthy tournament version of Heroes
- to maximize the distribution of the tournament version of Heroes

By the way, besides simple questions (like why so few options are made), there are much more complex ones...

IMHO, if Oelm and asm were to play, I would bet on Oelm... so what now, should the opinion of a frequently playing player not be taken into account because of such approaches? It seems asm is increasingly falling into egoism, hiding behind such little words.

Asm claims that OELM plays poorly. Since that's the case, he doesn't consider it necessary to take his opinion into account. That was the meaning of asm's phrase. There is no ambiguity here. This is stated by a person who later asks for his arguments to be substantiated. But are his own arguments substantiated? Have you even watched OELM's saves, say 3-4 games? I have seen 2 games of OELM, seen some of asm's latest saves on "bai": asm plays SIGNIFICANTLY worse! Not only does asm insult a stranger for no reason, but it also turns out to be an incorrect statement compared to his gameplay. And all because, in asm's understanding, "some little-known player" allowed himself to criticize his vision of the game. Which, by the way, is very, very debatable given asm's level as a player, and due to the fact that asm plays little, it is also personally unjustified.
After asm says such insults to a stranger, who, by the way, only wanted to contribute to a good cause, asm still has the audacity to say words like "cool down, hotheads". First, learn to treat other people with respect, then cool down yourself, and then say things like that!
If you really wanted to unite the Heroes world, you would never say such words towards other players!

What if there was a match between asm and Oelm right now?

Fact: the version is being viewed through the eyes of the tech team, even though it's supposedly being made for the community. As a result, there's a misunderstanding and all sorts of nonsense, like changing magic schools, banning group stacks, etc.

Okay, let’s say we release a version and, naturally, not all of our solutions to certain problems will be good. BUT, ASM doesn’t want to release the game once and then ignore it, abandoning it. So, we’ll do things our way at the beginning. If something doesn’t work out or is clearly disliked by the majority, we’ll fix it in the next patch, in a month.
That is, testing will resolve all the problems, and it’s not a big deal if the very first version is exactly as we envisioned it, especially since our changes to the game are based not just on a superficial knowledge of the game, but on a lot of experience.

I won't speak for everyone, but personally, I'm arguing not about the nuances that are adjusted during testing, but about the fundamental approach.

In short, the goal is either TE-light 2.0 or TE-Full 1.04. I am a supporter of the second option, and you, judging by your attitude, are of the first.

In essence, the nuances of what will be at what level, etc., are purely secondary compared to the general direction of movement.

Hey Vic ;)

Let's avoid any snark, please :). I'm not one to hold back either.

Now, about the main topic – your reasoning is logical, but it is focused on the wrong situation. You are reasoning like a developer of a new game, not like a modder.

Do a thought experiment. Suppose you wrote that version that you are planning. What will happen next?

Will all the Heroes community happily rush to play it? Not really... here, people are pushing TE-Lite with a lot of hassle for the SOD community, and your version will be even more different. Just one point – moving the word to the 2nd floor – caused so many complaints, although, in general, it's a minor thing.

Next, predict the reaction of the TE players. I've talked to many, and there is no enthusiasm for reverting to SOD. As a result, people will discuss it, express their dissatisfaction, and me, Sagu, and Horn will have to create a normal TE gameplay on your engine.

That's basically the perspective... do you really need it? You'll just end up with problems; a smart person learns from the mistakes of others, and there have already been many such mistakes.

mainly newcomers.

- TElight has problems - for example, a complex installation. I am going to solve this problem.
- a very significant advantage of the version will be simultaneous turns.
I think all these factors will encourage people to try the new version.

In my opinion, most TE players will switch without any problems; in fact, I want to get rid of two things in TE - classes and experience.

It's funny how people judge players' experience)
Yes, ASM hasn't been actively playing for about 3 years, but 3 years ago, he played on par with the top players, whom no one has been able to beat in any tournament) "heroes.by vs ..."

I'm afraid they won't switch then. Or rather, they will, but only after asking someone to bring those features back into the game beforehand (I, for example, will definitely ask).
