This is the first and most likely the last time I'll play in Warlords, because the town portal being on fire is ridiculous, since not all hero classes can learn fire magic. What a terrible balance.
Hang in there... We also plan to implement gameplay similar to Warlords...

Still, a huge thank you for your work; overall, it turned out very well.

Well actually, THIS in particular is far from nonsense. TP and Dimension Door were moved competently. Nothing more to say.

Hehe :). I guess I'll have to break the habit of only leveling up Earth magic :). In TE/WT, there's not much point in leveling it up, unless you start with it as your first school and quickly reach expert level before the first encounters. Although, they fall easily even without Earth magic.

In any case, a full list of differences between VT and SoD needs to be posted; otherwise it's a bit frustrating for me—I didn't win my first match in VT only because there was no fire for the town portal (maybe they gave it, I don't remember), couldn't catch the opponent, couldn't out-control them... by the time you learn all the nuances...

There is a TE_Manual for TE; most differences are described in it, since VT is almost TE without many settings.

I didn't win my first match in VT only because there was no fire near the town portal (maybe they gave it, I don't remember), making it impossible to catch the opponent or overcontrol them—it takes a while until you learn all the nuances...
+1! A manual is needed, since many are switching from SoD to VT, skipping TE.

All changes in WT compared to TE1.03q

On the same page, there is a link at the bottom.
Changes in TE 1.03q compared to SoD can be found here:
http://www.heroeswt.net/info/TE_Manual(rus).doc

Of course, a SoD -> WT manual would be useful, but there isn't enough time for it yet (((

It would be great if someone could rework the TE manual + WT changes :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50: :smile50:

Finally played the first game. I have a few questions:
1. There were periodic crashes from the game when I tried to transfer troops between heroes or when I entered a castle. Could this be related to simultaneous turns? In any case, when that was disabled, such cases did not repeat...
2. System freeze. When the heroes are minimized and they are passing the turn to me, a freeze occurs, and I can only switch to the heroes by pressing 3 magic buttons beforehand.

These are the only issues so far. Everything else is OK. Even the magic isn't overpowered. And it's not because I successfully ran away from Valentine ).

I especially like the reserve stack. Once I forgot that I had 20+ dendroids in reserve ).

Well, I can put together a manual; luckily, it will only take about half an hour.

Could you elaborate on this part?
By the way, I think we should start thinking about reworking the season rules to fit the Warlords Tournament (WT), as it seems like most people will switch to it soon.

==========================================
- Tactics – a hero with this skill gains the ability to use a reserve unit. In essence, a hidden eighth slot appears, and the unit placed in it does not participate in battle, does not slow down the hero, and does not receive penalties when moving through enemy territory. The reserve unit is lost both when retreating and when paying a ransom (the latter is temporary; we may change it later). It gains experience just like other units, and the player pays for its upkeep as they would for a regular unit. With basic Tactics, you can hide units of levels 3-5, with advanced Tactics, levels 2-6, and with expert Tactics, any units. You can swap units from the hero's menu or by using the Ctrl+Alt combination on the hero screen and the main screen. You can view the contents in the same way: from the menu, or by right-clicking on the Tactics button (hero screen), or by right-clicking on the hero figure on the map. In the latter case, you can also see if enemy heroes have a reserve unit.
=========================================================

WT and HW... they even sound similar.

HELP, WHAT SHOULD I DO??? I wanted to play the campaigns, but it gives errors... How is that possible? Did I download it for nothing????:D

I have a question. You can't enter cheats. So how do you analyze saves after a game? :confused:

Suggestion. Maybe increase the stats of the Conflux mages a little, because 0-0-2-2 looks too weak :( At least 0-1-2-2... And warriors have a total of 6 stats at the start.

P.S.: Is there no way to make it play in a window at 32 bits? I understand that it's a stupid question, but still.

This is most likely related to the Platinum installation; it installs perfectly on SOD 3.2 now. I hope this bug will be fixed tomorrow.

2. System freeze. When the heroes are minimized and it's my turn, the system freezes, and I can only switch to the heroes by pressing 3 magic buttons beforehand.
I don't know what to do about this yet. It's due to zdarw.dll, which allows playing in windowed mode with 32-bit color. The bug doesn't occur if you don't minimize the game, or if you switch to windowed mode – it never glitches in that mode.

The main thing is not to forget about the reserve when retreating....

Well, the most important thing is not to forget about the stash when escaping....

I have SOD 3.2.
I've never played in windowed mode, but I feel like I might have to...)

What kind of errors?
Dirty_Player

I have a question. You can't enter cheats. How can I then analyze saves after a game?:confused:
This is controlled by the Anti-Cheat option in the WOG settings, which is designed for multiplayer and disables cheats, and also controls many other things to make it easier to catch mischievous people.

I really don't want to change the gameplay thoughtlessly; some people are asking for a Tavern overview, others want 0-1-2-2 stats, but I think that Eagle Eye should be changed first... although I'm not rejecting 0-1-2-2, maybe after Eagle Eye.

This works GREAT, you need to press F4 thanks to zdarw.dll, which in turn provides new fixes

The same thing happens on 3.2. Look for it in the simultaneous turn option.
If you played with simultaneous turns, then there is nothing surprising... it is still quite raw, and I recommend playing it only for fun or for testing. Simultaneous turns sometimes create such strange situations....
