Posts from REWORK for the Academy. Is it needed or not?

What made you laugh so much? The fact that people will be able to dig out the needed spells from the first guilds? Slow, Bless, Haste, Blind, Dispel, etc. I don't think it would be a pity to spend wood and stone for Slow, isn't that done in VT, and only rebuilt for control? There is a certain charm to it, sometimes people in FB wonder if the opponent has a specific spell, I'll Blind him, does he have Dispel, I'll Haste myself, does he have Slow. Everyone has encountered this. And rebuilding can open up some possibilities, getting spells for Griffin Conservatories, some Dirt, the scoundrel :D, will come up with a tactic and with guaranteed spells (Force Field, etc.) will break Dragon Utopias with crap. To some extent this balances the game, to some extent it kills the spirit of the old Heroes.

The problem (if considered a real problem) is solved, for instance, by making rebuilding available only after full construction.

On topic.
Balance in Heroes is certainly peculiar—it is achieved not by equalizing individual parameters, but by stacking randomness: due to the vast number of random factors, their distribution becomes more or less even.
That is, in general, reducing the number of random factors will lower the probability of their even distribution among players and worsen the balance.
But the above holds true only for factors that do not significantly outweigh all others in importance—i.e., for factors that can be countered in one way or another.
Control can sometimes be obtained fairly easily and (when the opponent lacks it) is not countered by anything. With Hive+Underground this is a 99% win, with Surface+Underground the percentage is not much lower.
Are there other factors in the game with such or even close percentages of influence on the outcome? Griffin Conservatories, Dragon Utopias, Dragon Fly Hives, battle parameters, external dwellings, doubles, free artifacts, a good skill tree—all of these lag far behind control in significance and are countered by one another.
It would be very useful to do something about control, and so far nothing better than rebuilding has been proposed.

Slow, bless, haste, blind, dispel, etc. I don't think anyone will mind spending wood and stone for slow, especially since that's how it's done in Warlords, and it's only for control purposes, right?

The balance in Heroes is certainly peculiar; it's achieved not by equalizing individual parameters, but by piling on RNG — due to a huge number of random factors, they are more or less evenly distributed.

and make pyramid spawns universal, at least 1 per respawn))))

Exactly. If both players have guaranteed access to control, then it comes down to who got how many Dragon Fly Hives / Griffin Conservatories.

The problem (if you can even call it that) can be solved, for example, by making the upgrade available only after the building is fully constructed.

Oh yes, I forgot to add – the developers will get a $100 bonus – Cobriiii will pay $50, and Kostik and I will each contribute $10, and the rest will be $5 each from those who sympathize – something like that.

That's a cool twist, I wouldn't have thought of that:D

Those highlighted in red were active in the BT chat. In my opinion, the picture is very clear. I don't remember you, but let it be. I think it's hard to come up with a more illustrative picture.
And there's no need to force morals and other things. It's not dignified.

:confused: What's the point of distributing votes among participants from the CIS?

Well, it's like, if you get off your butt and go somewhere to play in a club, then you're a cool guy. And your opinion really matters. But if you only play on the forum, then you're just an average noob, a loser, plankton, dirt from under your fingernails.
