Posts from AnotherGame is a mod for ToE 3.1. Auto-translated

In your understanding, "balance" won't be affected, but in the understanding of many other players, it will; and they will be angry that you ruined the balance of the game by killing off choices.

:eek: And what does balance have to do with it? It will affect something else, the game itself ;) Don't lump everything together again. Isn't balance and diversity the same thing? No. Ruining a weak upgrade really won't affect the balance much.

Unfortunately, the developers made too few upgrades that are really worth using at different points.

I'm just explaining a more general concept of balance, and you keep insisting on your narrower point of view. Call it balance whatever you want, just keep in mind that others may understand something different by this term than just "overall equality of forces."

In particular, the meaning is clear: your price balance is disrupted, which will make housing conversion an automatic action (without a choice). The same thing threatens your warehouses and mines if you leave cheap warehouses that give significant discounts, encouraging the mass construction of warehouses and mines.

If you think that automatic housing conversion and widespread development of warehouses and mines is good (i.e., a change in gameplay, not the addition of new, balanced features), then that's a different question.

The developers have made enough upgrades, but they are poorly balanced. What prevents focusing on this hot topic, rather than controversial changes to the overall gameplay? Although this niche is already occupied by my mod, I won't refuse good competition.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: balance should only be adjusted after all the new features are implemented, not developed from the start while maintaining balance.

1. City conversion - against (it encourages larger, more homogeneous armies, and blurs the difference between the types of captured cities)

2. Dwelling conversion - against (for the same reasons)

3. Mine development - against (it's more interesting to find new mines and resources when needed, rather than developing old ones)

4. Ten shots for the tent - against (it encourages prolonging battles for resurrection, in the style of Heroes 6)

Developing mines will be a mutually exclusive alternative to the capitol. I’ve decided to try both for now. But this is not a final decision.

The tent is expensive, and engineers don’t have it initially ;) Try buying it to boost development... :)

But not converting dwellings is just a tribute to the city conversion.

As far as I understand, there is no mutual exclusion. You build a warehouse in a non-capital city, gaining access to mine upgrades, and that's it.

Just say it directly - it's a tribute to Heroes 6. Even in HoMM 3.5 WoG, city conversions didn't include housing conversions, if I remember correctly.

If you wanted to strengthen the tent in this way, then it will work for breaking through, at the cost of longer battles.

Yes. There's still a second town to reach. Why are you ignoring the gameplay on the map itself?

Is a long battle a bad thing? Sorry, but I want to be sarcastic, but that would be off-topic :)

Or are you stuck in IRMG for months without a second town?

A long battle where a player deliberately prolongs the fight to resurrect again is not just bad, but terribly bad, in my opinion. It requires minimal tactics and takes up a lot of time.

I apologize, but I want to be sarcastic, but that would be off-topic, as it relates to another mod.

The tent has low Initiative. It won't allow for as effective resurrection. And the AI also has various armies, and if you buy a tent for the hero at the start (which also requires a forge), hmm... some races simply won't have enough starting money due to the triple price.

But, for example, IRMG is very rich in resources, but one may never appear; it has happened. Improving mines will help with this.
The opponent may get a free native city, and I may not; conversion will help with this, although it is indeed expensive.
The wrong dwellings may appear; converting dwellings will help; neutral dwellings, of course, cannot be reconverted; they are there.

In my opinion, it would be easier for you to play on well-balanced, non-random maps, because what you are doing is nothing more than trying to fight against the element of randomness.

Ask Moza how he overcomes your problems, because he plays on IRMG in TE.

Each faction also has an additional building. This allows for focusing on increasing army size or other strategies.

You don't understand what I'm talking about. What does the balance of whether it's advantageous or disadvantageous to buy and the strength of the tent have to do with it? I didn't write anywhere that your tent became stronger.
Your tent definitely performs weaker due to the reduced initiative, but in order for it to perform better, the player is forced to prolong the battle. Are you striving for that?

Mod Name: AnotherGame
Status: Development discontinued
Version: 1.0a6 (beta)
Heroes 5 Version: only 3.1
Scope: Standard multiplayer maps and maps created by the Heroes Map Editor with a special modified version. (For the mod to work on fan-made maps, the map must allow scripts if none exist)...

Dear Dyrman, could you tell us why you decided to stop working on this mod? In my opinion, the idea is original. In particular, I am pleased with the possibility of improving standard mines, converting cities, and the fact that the number of heroes to choose from for each race has been increased to 10.
