Posts from DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

- Using "Wings of the Angel" and the spells "Fly" and "Dimension Door" when moving from one zone to another is only allowed if the guard between them has been defeated.

Differences for Jebuss:

Or is this even a difference? It seems like it's not allowed according to the rules.

5.12. It is forbidden to enter neighboring territories without breaking through the guard stationed at the passage (i.e., if it is moved). If two or three guards are scattered along the road, any one can be chosen to break through.
If there is no guard at the passage, including if it is moved, it is allowed to freely move from one spawn point to another.

So, "penetrate" means to cross, not to fly through or teleport? :)

The concept of "penetrating" includes the concept of "flying through" or "teleporting."
But with Wings (Flight, Jump), it's not necessary to break through the guard at the spawn point (applicable to many map designs, in particular 2sm4d(3)).

The meanings of the first and second sentences contradict each other. :)
The first implies that it is impossible to penetrate in any way without breaking through the guard. The second implies the opposite.

Guys, who created the rules? In my opinion, there are some flaws in them, specifically point
5.12 states that you cannot move from one respawn to another without killing the guards. So where did the idea come from that you can jump or fly over on angel wings in CM? I started arguing and it turned out I was wrong. Maybe there are other rules besides these edited ones? /topic/3515/ If not, I think it would be worth writing this down and making it public so that there aren't any unnecessary questions. For example, I am a beginner, and based on the rules, I believe that I am right and that it is impossible to move from one respawn to another without defeating the guards. Try to convince me otherwise, based on the above rules. This concerns breaking ГО when there is an opportunity to go around instead of going directly, but still bypass ГО and break through from the other side of the respawn.

Actually, if there's a dispute, this point in the current Rules states that you are allowed to do so, because:

5.10. "Wings of the Angel" can be used without any restrictions, as long as it doesn't contradict section 5.13.

This has already been discussed extensively, I repeat:
The new version of the Rules will explicitly state that it is permissible to enter other territories without breaking the Guard, (in particular, on the 2sm4d(3) template).

The point about wings was described very subtly. Or perhaps point 5.12 then. It's clear that someone who has recently been playing according to the current rules will always understand that under no circumstances is it possible to pass through without breaking it down. They should have added something about wings there. Again, according to 5.10, only those with wings can pass through, so where did Dimension Door and flight come from?
And in the new edition, will it be possible not even to attack GO? (if you can simply go around it)

And another question about the "check" system, why would I want to "check" if I enjoy playing as a specific faction and would like to play as it?) Judging by the tournament, people don't seem to be fixated on overpowered factions, and the distribution is more or less smooth.

Any changes to the rules are allowed with the mutual consent of the players...

I would remove restarts (except for situations with more than one starting castle, no fort, and several cities), in my opinion, it's much more interesting to get out of all sorts of difficult situations, which will add a non-standard element to the development.

– if a player has more than one castle at the start;
– if there is no fort built in the starting castle.

So, if an empty enemy castle is captured on map 116 without a fight, is this grounds for a restart or not? This is a fundamental question when trying to avoid a restart due to a match.

Subjective restarts:
each player has the right to take a restart/restarts, that is, start a new game with a map regeneration. It is possible to take either 3 restarts on the first day of the game (111+111+111), or 2 restarts on the first and second day (111+112 or 112+111), or one restart on the third day (113).

Subjective restarts:
each player has the right to take a restart twice: on the first day of the game and within three days, that is, start a new game with a map regeneration.

What do we prefer? Either we can vote, or introduce it experimentally for the winter season (111+111+111 or 112+111 or 113).
