Posts from SOD vs TE

The leader is already a full-fledged player) :)
And are you still using the regular SOD? :smile34: Then we're coming to you :smile14:

This post by the respected Forrest prompted me to start (which one in a row?) a discussion about the advantages of TE and SOD.

The Bay website has the following points on why TE is better:
1. Instant troop exchange between heroes
2. Splitting of units
3. Movement planning
4. More heroes to start the game with.
I will add:
5. The 2nd level of troops is always built.
6. Heroes come with three stacks.

I will be grateful for constructive additions/discussions :)

Now about SOD.
1. Lighter allows for instant exchange.
2. The Chinese program allows you to split units.
3. - is it necessary? -
4. Personally, I could start with any of the heroes listed below:
- Castle - usually start with Val, but she rarely becomes a strong hero
- Rampart - Kir, Ivor, Mephala, Enova
- Tower - Nela, Torosar, Astral
- Inferno - Pir, Kalh, Marius
- Necro - Galtran, Vidomina, Isra... any other, including Stracker
- Dungeon - Shakti, Gunar
- Barbarian - Kreg Hack, Gurnisson, Gretchin, Dessa
- Swamp - Tazar, Bron, Vistan
- Conflux - Moner, Grindan, Luna, Brissa
5. Is it possible to use a text file in the data folder to always get a built 2nd level?
6. If SOD always has three stacks per hero, the strategy will change significantly. For example, people will want to play Dungeon/Shakti, Necro/Galtran, and Swamp more often.

I think the idea of the conflict between SoD vs TE is already outdated.

Once Asm correctly implements simultaneous turns, I personally will play WT only.

This post by the respected Forrest inspired me to start (which one is it?) a discussion about the advantages of Town and Castle Development (TCD) and Stronghold of Defense (SOD).

Hmm... is this old news?

It's time to start discussing WT vs. SOD/TE.

It's time to start discussing WT vs SOD/TE :)

Yeah, debates have already begun in instant messaging. I hope it doesn't escalate into a flame war :)

I think the idea of a conflict between SoD vs TE is already morally outdated.

A great topic:D :D :D

Yes, the idea of simultaneous turns is simply a revolution in the Heroes series.

Author: boyanist, let's move this topic to the top.

Captain vs All World. Is it just me, or is this about as outdated as SoD vs TE? Aren't you tired of it?

SoD forever. TE, go to hell!!

Captain vs All World. Am I wrong, or is this as outdated as SoD vs TE? Isn't it getting boring?

I asked for constructive feedback, but all I get is pointless chatter. Many people don't know that: 1. The "lighter" feature appeared – it allows for instant troop exchange between heroes and splitting of units. This was the strongest argument in favor of TE. 2. All World plays on SoD. And All World is much stronger than players from the CIS. For example, the Chinese almost completely dominated us ;) - and that wasn't even their first team (their first team doesn't know English). There are also Poles, Koreans, Bulgarians... By the way, there's an international tournament going on right now on a Polish website... the main contender is a Bulgarian, and second place is given to a Pole... our players aren't even being considered ;)
Because we're a local "All World" :) On WCL, Black Knight was the king – he probably beat almost everyone, now a Dane is the king there. Therefore, I ask for constructive feedback. Honestly, I'm interested in the question of how a fully built 2nd-level unit appears in SoD... it's always fully built in secondary locations... it seems like this can be done using text editors.

On WCL, Black Knight was the king – he probably beat almost everyone, now a Dane is the king there.

That's definitely not true, Sanek!
Stinger was constantly beating him, many to zero.

I don't think Alex played against him; I, for example, didn't play.

By the way, what arguments will the supporters of SoD have for not playing in WT?)))
I think there will definitely be some.

2. The entire world plays on SOD. And the entire world is much stronger than players from the CIS. For example, the Chinese almost beat us ;) - and that wasn't even their first team (their first team doesn't know English).

Sasha, have you looked at their replays?:D Analyze the replays of Stinger, Bayazet, and others, and compare them with the Chinese))) Maybe you'll change your mind;)

Dear Alexander, you often use the argument like "the whole world plays...blah blah blah." Allow me to ask, from what moment did this "world" start playing SoD? From the moment it was released? A week later? A month later? And what was happening before that? They were probably playing Heroes 2. (Correct me if I'm wrong).
So, Heroes 3 came out. Did the whole world immediately rush to play it? Again, I dare to suggest that there were both supporters who immediately accepted SoD (Heroes 3) and opponents. It is possible that these very opponents used the same arguments like "the whole world..." blah blah blah.
Such "arguments" are associated with the concept of "fashion" for me. That is, not what is "better," but what is "more popular."
As for the fact that SoD already has all the conveniences and Light won't surprise anyone here... I'll say this: let's say you need a mixer. You can buy it, or you can use a drill and a fork. It's up to you. I just don't feel like doing things in a clumsy way.
