Max, sorry, that's just nonsense. I'm not starting a war, like Warlord vs. True-Sylvan players. I made a specific assumption: HL+U templates are much more advantageous to play in the Warlord version. So, if you're trying to argue with me, your position should look like this: I prefer to play HL+U templates in SOD rather than in Warlord because:
......(I like having 10 gnolls at the start when playing as Swamp, for example) ......
even a beautiful and most wonderful Warlock (censored, equivalent to - to hell with it) won't be needed.
Bravo! A wonderful phrase! :D R55Max
So the versions will remain on opposite sides of the barricade.
Bravo again. Finally, it dawned on him. That searching for a golden mean is like searching for the golden Rune.

Here's something else I'd like to say:
Our resource wasn't always, um, how to put it without offending others — let's just say "leading" in the post-Soviet space. When I first came here, we were firmly behind "bai" in terms of gameplay quality, and behind the portal not only in gameplay quality (though not as much as behind "bai"), but also in terms of numbers and activity on the resource.
Times have changed — from "bai" only the glorious name and the dinosaurs remain, who periodically prove their professional competence. But even they will die out sooner or later. HP has also lost its position.
I tried to analyze why this happened — many factors certainly played a role, but the main one, in my opinion, was that HeroesWorld somehow managed to find a balance that took into account the interests of different types of Heroes players. Democracy, I guess, even though I don't like that term.
"Bai" doomed itself to extinction by abandoning SOD in favor of the much more progressive and balanced TE — as a result, newcomers didn't come, and the old-timers were destined for the path to poker.
On the portal, it somehow wasn't even possible to grasp how, but the line between the interests of different layers of Heroes players was lost.
For the survival of a resource, especially a resource for a game that's already prehistoric by modern standards, what's important are not tournaments, gatherings, debates, discussions, etc., but the influx of fresh blood. Sooner or later, even those who can already be called veterans will say goodbye to Heroes, and their places need to be taken by newcomers.
Damn, that came out awkward and pompous, but screw it. Anyway, what this all boils down to: if you set some rigid frameworks, restrictions, and in this case don't take into account the interest of the majority, then the forum will slide back to the same level it started from, if not just write "gg"

Javdet, your broad perspective and sound judgment are impressive! WT is well-suited for online play. SoD greatly improved the HD mod. It's great to see foreign players participating in the tournaments. SoD is the foundation, and it will remain so.
Max, sorry, that's just nonsense. I'm not starting a war, like WoG players versus SoD players. I made a specific suggestion: HL+U templates are much more advantageous to play in the WoG version. That is, if you're trying to argue with me, your position should look like this: I prefer to play HL+U templates in SoD rather than in WoG because:
......(For example, I like having 10 gnolls at the start when playing as Swamp) ......
It's better with specific examples.
No, Pasha, this isn't nonsense. By saying that it's more advantageous to play WoG, you're suggesting not to play SoD (even within the framework you described), implying that WoG is better than SoD in the variants you proposed.
What does "advantageous" mean? I play SoD and don't play WoG not because of any advantage, but because I don't like WoG, and conversely, I prefer SoD in comparison. You know all the differences between WoG and SoD better than anyone, so take them all together and write them down on the forum; it will be a long list that changes the game. It shouldn't matter why SoD suits me, but the biggest reason I don't like WoG is the gameplay: people are constantly fiddling with things and tweaking everything over and over again, and you can't keep up with all the changes. That's why I love the old, good, always consistent, and single reliable SoD :D
And 10 gnolls aren't the problem. If I don't like the starting distribution, I'll look at the map and decide whether to play or restart. In short, I've accepted the "drawbacks" of SoD, and I'm happy with it. I see more drawbacks in WoG; what they are doesn't matter, there's no truth here, and there's no accounting for taste.
I suggest everyone play what they like best and stop with these pointless comparisons of versions :smile28:
Finally, it clicked. Searching for the golden mean is like searching for the golden Rune.
That's right :)

I play SoD and don't play WoT not because of any benefit, but because I simply don't like WoT, and on the contrary, I prefer SoD. You know all the differences between WoT and SoD better than anyone, so take them all together and write them on the forum; it will be a long list that changes the game.
As far as I know, those who have learned the intricacies of WoT haven't spoken badly about it afterward; quite the opposite. Dubrovin is a prime example. He used to insist more than you did that WoT was not for him.
And as for the list, I don't know. Otherwise, it will turn out like in the joke: "Two Jews meet: — I heard the Beatles, and I didn't like them. They slur their words, sing off-key... What do people like about them?! — Where did you hear them? — Moishe sang them to me..."
Someone will bother to list all the delights of WoT, and in the end, due to the difficulty of perception, it will turn into Moishe's song. But you need to listen to the Beatles in the original, and not just once, so that you have the opportunity to appreciate them. Why am I writing this to you? It's an old story; I'm not the first to tell you that you should try it first and then say whether it's good or not.

Actually, I've tried playing enough; it's not for me. Or maybe I should probably keep playing until I like it, and then after a thousand games, I'll understand all the charms of VT and quit SoD.
It seems the problem here is in the heads of those who don't understand. It' same when one person cannot believe or comprehend how someone could actually dislike this! Like, how can anyone play that mess when there is such a "majestic work of art." The stubborn refusal to understand that there are views and preferences "not like yours" is simply endearing.
Maybe someday I will enjoy playing both versions or switch to VT. But for now, it is what it is.

Okay, for now I'll list the main features of WT from what I can remember, as there are quite a few. Maybe SoD will get some of them someday, but I don't think it'll be soon. So:
1 The most important thing - the ability to rebuild the Mage Guild 2 Magic balance - unlike SoD, there are no trash magic schools. Also, spells that clearly didn't match their levels have been reweighted 3 Built 2 dwellings in the town 4 A normal starting army, i.e., the absence of 10 gnolls at the start 5 No useless skills (although one could certainly be stubbornly insistent and say that there is a certain charm to obtaining Keen Sight even in SoD) 6 Anti-cheat. Not a panacea, but still. 7 Logistics and some imba heroes have been fixed. Exception: Brogh. 8 A more normal balance of castles than in SoD. Exception: Taver. 9, 10 etc. - for those who like them - potions, disabling morale and stacks, spells, unnecessary artifacts, timers, etc..
At least the first 6 points are worth looking into. It's foolish to deny that they improve gameplay, and significantly so.
As for the rest, you're right. Driving a Lada or a Subaru is a matter of individual taste.

R55Max, let me put it this way, so you don't get offended... you see, many players don't care which version of the game you prefer, or, say, I do... it's not about that... everyone left Soda, don't tear your shirt apart, don't bombard the forum with tearful pleas that you will never betray Soda – no one needs that, believe me. There's just a problem, and no one is solving it; they're pushing it into the back burner. The words were that the opinions of the strongest players are not only not taken into account but are not even considered. And notice, these players aren't spamming the forum like some do. Everything will come down to the fact that it will really turn into a sandbox championship, as Oelm put it. Do you personally want to participate in this?
P.S. If you're going to reply, please don't copy and paste my entire message – I'm not stupid; I'll read your reply and figure out what's what.

I'm not saying that I dislike everything or find everything wrong with WOT, you mentioned the smallest things. If we start comparing versions now, it will turn into a long discussion, which I think is inappropriate because the goal should be to decide which version to play, and I have already made my choice. You've certainly come up with some wild ideas about cars. A car has value – primarily monetary value, so naturally, a person will choose a Subaru. But we're playing a game that we enjoy more. Right now, I want to play SOD, then Counter-Strike or football, then WOT. I don't understand how this relates to things that have material value when we're talking about internal feelings. It seems like you can't force yourself to love something, just like you can't force yourself to love a game.
Regarding the "bombing" of the forum: actually, if you haven't noticed, I'm trying to close this pointless conversation. By the way, for the future, I'll figure out whether or not to write to you without any advice, okay?

Here's something else I'd like to say: blah blah blah
but here's how it actually happened roughly speaking, around 2005 there was only HP and everyone went there because there was nowhere else to go. then part of the portal split off and went to BUY. later someone from the league came there as well. that's it, there was no further influx of players. players still went to HP. then HeroesWorld appeared and newcomers suddenly started going to HeroesWorld. why? it's simple — when a newcomer searches for heroes3 online in Google, the top results are HeroesWorld and HP, HeroesWorld has a pleasant blue background while HP has an ugly design. for this reason alone, players went to HeroesWorld until 2011, after that they went there because all the streamers are on ГГ and SC2TV from this resource.

Pit for LM
Lately, our main Tournaments, both FB and OFB, haven't been very exciting. First. Do we even need these Tournaments? Or have they become boring? Or should we hold them less frequently? Or should we come up with new rules each time to add variety? For example, should the next Tournament be All-Random?
Tournaments are needed. I think they should be held less often, once a year. Pit for LM
Second. Regarding the default version for both Tournaments. Lately, we've seen a lot of activity in Tournaments on SoD, but the last OFB didn't generate much interest. Could this be due to the default WT version? We currently have many players who prefer SoD. On the other hand, the recent MP showed that WT specialists feel very uncomfortable on SoD, which is not good in the long run for future international Tournaments.
Here, in my opinion, it would be better to have a mix of versions from SoD, WT, and TE-Lite. Then both SoD and WT players can play. Although there will still be those who say "ONLY SoD" and "ONLY WT." On the Portal, I held the 4th and 5th qualifying rounds with a mix of versions. IV (summer-autumn 2010). 45 matches: 24 on WT, 17 on SoD, 4 on TE-Lite V (winter-spring 2011). 43 matches: 19 on WT, 19 on SoD, 5 on TE-Lite
It's impossible to say definitively which version is better. Compared to the Lite version (SoD with possible WT settings), I don't like the following in SoD: 1) Lack of chess clocks 2) Lack of 2nd-level building upgrades 3) Presence of a pre-set stack 4) Presence of morale for neutrals 5) Lack of scroll replacement with gold 6) Presence of one-sided monoliths I like Oelm's position on versions. I think it's better not to play HL templates on SoD. Pit for LM
Third. The format of the FB Tournament. Actually, the division into two Tournaments - Qualifying and Final - was made specifically to hold a round-robin in the final stage, which gives the most objective result. But round-robins are complicated by withdrawals, both for objective reasons and due to a lack of motivation after a poor start. If we continue to hold it as a bracket system, then we could combine OFB and FB into one Tournament: group stage - OFB, some participants advance from the groups, and the finalists from the previous FB are added, and then Full Double Elimination.
Therefore, we decided to conduct a poll and decide how to proceed based on its results. Please vote and express your wishes.
I think it's better to keep the round-robin format in FB. Those who lose the first matches still have the motivation not to be eliminated from FB. Perhaps something needs to be changed with the qualifying round. The group tournament is very convenient because, with a 2-week deadline per round, you can play 3 matches in a week, take a month off, and continue the Tournament. But after several defeats, a player loses motivation and withdraws from the Tournament. The bracket (including double elimination) and Swiss systems are more convenient in terms of motivation. But it's not always possible to find a common time with an opponent in 2-3 weeks. And you have to make decisions that are not always correct. In a round-robin system, if a registered player doesn't want to play, they don't play against everyone. In a bracket and Swiss system, it's more difficult to determine who to give a "technical win" to.
P.S. I saw the topic late, so I couldn't vote for WT.
Everything would be fine in SoD on HL templates if there were a Mages' Guild rebuild. In SoD, it very often happens that one player cannot get DD, and as a result, loses. For HL templates, this is still very critical.
R55Max, we can argue as much as we want about how SoD is more familiar, native, popular, played by foreigners, etc., but it's foolish to argue that on HL templates it is inferior to the BT version.
On M and L templates there is no dispute; one can play normally in SoD.
As far as I know, those who mastered the intricacies of Warlord Tactics (WT) didn't speak negatively about it afterward, quite the opposite. Dubrovin is a prime example. He used to insist more than you did that WT wasn't suitable for him.
Roma... Dubrovin apparently mistakenly thought that WT and Tactical Elements (TE) were the same thing. The WT thing turned out to be better not just than TE, but also than SoD. It just took him a while to realize it...
And the fact that Dubrovin insisted that WT wasn't suitable for him – I can't remember it, could it have been me? :smile29:
Roma... Dubrovin apparently mistakenly thought that VT and TE were the same thing. The VT thing turned out to be better not just than TE, but also than SoD. It just didn't dawn on him right away...
And the fact that Dubrovin insisted that VT wasn't to his liking - I can't remember for the life of me, was it really me? :smile29:
Dubrovin, have you completely lost your memory because of Jebus? ))
