There was no reason to prohibit restoring the last saved position in a game, as it's ridiculous.

The first part of the post contradicts the second.

In Heroes, it's impossible to remember everything very precisely due to the huge number of saved games and the long gap between them, as well as the variety of templates and maps.

By the way, in chess, the entire board is in front of the players' eyes, and almost all players, even not particularly strong ones, can accurately play games of 60 moves or more over the phone with their eyes closed, possessing phenomenal memory. They can even reconstruct childhood games from memory with extremely high accuracy. Therefore, there was no point in banning the restoration of the last saved position in a game, as that would be laughable.

But seriously. I don't think I represent the majority here, but I genuinely enjoy it when my opponent plays as well as possible. And if a game is paused, I'm even happy if they do something they probably wouldn't have done under time pressure, and conversely, it's unpleasant when an opponent starts playing poorly because they couldn't review the save beforehand. And those who happily write about winning because the player made a mistake or broke a Ranked Realms rule make me sick.

Nothing prevents it if he really wants to (although I can watch for half an hour).

By the way, during the 8-minute countdown, you can take all the necessary screenshots. The barter mod aims to make the 8-minute countdown start only after pressing the "end turn" key. As a result, you'll have an extra turn to study the map, plus the opponent's turn, until you press the "end turn" button. That's the whole idea.

I press F2 instead of F4, and they tell me that he is busy studying the editor. In general, what should be written if the opponent is cheating? I saw "map editor detected".

Fair Play
The most important point: players must play fairly and respect each other.
- It is forbidden to use cheat codes and all kinds of "bugs" during the game.
- No one is allowed to open the save file of an unfinished game, except for the judge/tournament organizer or a member of the arbitration committee, and only in the event of a controversial situation in the game. If, at the moment a controversial situation arises that requires opening the save files, there is no connection with the judge/organizer/arbitration committee, the game must be interrupted and saved by both participants until they can connect with the judges.
- It is forbidden to open the map in the editor on which the game is being played until the game is over.
The game is considered finished when one player has completely destroyed the other or one of them has surrendered, which must be confirmed via ICQ. Only after this is it allowed to open the save files and view the map in the editor.
Players who agreed to play are responsible for all actions that occur on the players' computers during the game and/or related to the unfinished game.

The purpose of the timer seems to get lost in this picture...

You yourself were once screenshotted with something like that. I even have a screenshot somewhere :)

?

Under no circumstances should you open a save file, not even to examine it, try out different combinations, or send it to someone else, and keep Cobra away from the computer by at least a meter.
