But it's quite possible to do rough balancing, so that there are no situations where one player has several consoles and the other has none.

The changes are, of course, good. But when will they finally fix the AI's experience gain? I'm tired of constantly losing to them and ruining the whole pace of the game...

1. I am against balancing the map in the way it is proposed. I understand that those who have spoken here are simply worshipping angels, which is fundamentally wrong. For example, on popular map templates – Jebus, HL+U – the number of such structures may not have any significant meaning. If a player finds 6 conservatories on their starting location, that is not a reason to be overjoyed, thinking that victory is guaranteed. As for balancing the skirmish map, I am skeptical about the possibility of balancing it in principle.
2. I am against increasing the experience gained by computer players (I haven't heard any convincing arguments in favor of this yet). I played several games with 200% HL+U, and I didn't notice any particularly serious problems. The lack of experience will lead to the computer players becoming like plush toys, busy building economic structures; essentially, this is a UNION.
3. An alternative would be to create some specific map template where such changes would be implemented. In my opinion, mirrors are sufficient, but it is, of course, possible to try to create something in between a mirror and a normal random map.

The experience gained from fighting companions is a perfectly reasonable compensation for the lack of morale in neutral creatures and the lack of experience for our troops in battles against un-upgraded neutral creatures. Removing experience from bots would make the game too easy. It's not that difficult to get used to the fact that attacking a bot after turn 114 carries the risk of taking damage.

The excessive experience gain for computer opponents in Warlords (and it's "excessive," as there was also experience gain in Trials, but not as fast) sometimes leads to unfortunate situations, for example, when there's only one path from the spawn point, and right after the exit, there's a computer opponent's spawn point, and you can't pass by without engaging. You enter, and at level 112, you're killed in the field without any chance of maneuvering, by a combined army with 3-4 upgrade levels. Yes, this doesn't happen often; in most cases, issues with the computer opponent are resolved more or less normally, but encountering such a situation in a tournament is not a pleasant experience. That's why I'm in favor of returning the computer opponent's experience gain to the Trials level.

there's no point in rushing headlong along the paths without thinking; send scouts ahead. For some reason, the computer never manages to defeat me completely, leading to a surrender.
The game is already sometimes frustratingly easy; let's make it even simpler!!!

I've only had problems with camps due to my own greed. There's no need to change anything, IMO. I think trading all the resources gathered during the first week (which is usually the average amount collected when meeting at the end of the week) for a castle with partial upgrades is more than fair. Moreover, this way, the later you get to a camp, the more advantageous it becomes.

Who says to "remove" it?
Super-boosting the computer opponents in Warlords (and I mean "super," as there was also boosting in Trials, but not as fast) sometimes leads to unfortunate situations, for example, when there's only one path from the spawn point, and right after the exit, the computer opponent's respawn point begins, and you can't pass by without triggering it. You enter, and on turn 112, you're killed in the field without any chance of escape by a combined army with 3-4 stars. Yes, this doesn't happen often; in most cases, issues with the computer opponent are resolved more or less normally, but encountering such a situation in a tournament is not a pleasant experience. That's why I'm in favor of reverting the computer opponents' experience to the Trials level.

No one is suggesting completely removing their experience gain. I was talking about fixing it to a more acceptable level. I'm not saying it's killing me in my own castle, but it does deal significant damage. If their level is currently set to impossible according to the Heroes of Might and Magic III settings, couldn't it be reduced to at least expert?

There’s no point in rushing blindly along the paths; send scouts ahead.
But what kind of scouting is possible at level 112? There might be blockades there. Gather an army, break through the blockades, send in scouts, and then, seeing the enemy, pull the army back? And all of this at level 112? That’s fantasy.
For some reason, the computer has never defeated me to the point of surrender.
Well, you’re still young... :D

In Warlords, I left the computer’s experience settings as they were, without changing anything. I simply removed the settings that allowed me to control the experience.
I launched the Town Editor, loaded the Role-Playing settings, and the computer’s experience is set to default, tied to the game’s difficulty level. Since we were playing on 160% difficulty, the computer’s experience was set to Expert. In Warlords, the settings were removed, and now the experience seems to always be Impossible.
I suggest restoring the settings and adding another level, “absolutely impossible,” specifically for Kobra :cool:

I launched the TE, loaded the RP settings, and the computer experience is set to default, linked to the game's difficulty level. Since we were playing on 160% difficulty, the computer experience is set to Expert accordingly. In the VT settings, this was removed, and now, it seems, the experience is always set to Impossible.

I've assembled a new version - 0.51.
Today, I'm doing it manually, but tomorrow I'll enable auto-update.

I've added another feature: now all links open in the default browser.

Opened the script, checked it, and the level is always set to 160%
....
Due to numerous requests, I'm changing it to a lower level, corresponding to 130%.

asm, if you want to please everyone, you can add an extra option regarding the AI's experience (it was actually like that before, if I'm not mistaken). Forcing questionable innovations doesn't add value to the new version.
I repeat, I've played HL templates at 200% difficulty several times – not just with 8-unit armies, but also with LM and HM, where contact happens earlier, and I didn't see any extra difficulties, quite the opposite, it requires precise movements (which, in my opinion, is a plus).

asm, I reread the last 5 pages again, and I still don't understand: is there a plan to eliminate classes and fix the specialists?
