Posts from your questions regarding the game rules (improving the interpretation).

Dark made a completely logical move by using wings,

Is there also an option to rewrite a specific rule? Because following the current one, if there were additional guards next to the wyverns, Dark could have done it anyway—so what is the fundamental difference here?

Movement points are an important resource on Jebus Cross, especially for the main hero. It's quite logical to save movement points by ignoring the rules governing GO breakthrough on Jebus Cross.

I understand the rule for breaking through a double GO like this: the player, having control, can fly or jump to a convenient GO for the breakthrough. BUT the breakthrough itself must occur from the side of the player's spawn. In this situation, the breakthrough happens from the treasure zone side; he saved about 600-700 MP with that action.

You're not understanding correctly; it's not always possible to break through a convenient Guardian Outpost (GO) from your starting point. That's the first point, and secondly, we're not talking about interpreting the rules, but about a clearly defined possibility within them for a specific action without any ambiguity, right?

No comments, just wishing you a speedy recovery :)

You probably still don't understand what happened in your case with Heroes of Might and Magic (HoMM)? (The rules are written for a "normal" map generator; while it's "like this," the judge's decision is that everything is within the rules – flying from your zone along the shortest path to the guard protecting the passage without crossing other guards' paths).

P.S. The topic is starting to go in an unclear direction, and no one needs clear formulations anymore. Maybe we should go back to discussing interpretations. Here's another flaw we found.

There is an analysis of such a situation in the comments to the rules


It says there: The passage from the Tower's starting zone to the center is guarded by two control points – Golden Dragons and Sultan Efreet. The Blue player has the right to break through any guard he chooses. He can go out onto the sand and pass by the shifted dragons to attack the efreets. Also, Wings of Angel, Flight, or Dimension Door can be used to attack the efreets.
Goblins can be taken from an external dwelling without breaking through the control point.

Nothing needs to be changed in this rule; it should only be added that control can be used in this case only to avoid fighting one of the control points, while moving across free cells of the treasure zone before breaking through your own control point is prohibited.

In this picture, the control point - Efreets are also moved further back.
II.2.6.2. If the guard of the passage between zones is shifted into the neighboring zone, then passing into this zone is allowed to eliminate it.
Therefore, I believe that you can only walk along the empty cells of the treasure zone for two sand cells to the left of the efreets.
Using wings to fly over the Hive and Imp Nest on the sand to reach the Efreet control point is prohibited.

...the result clearly still bothers you.

And now a question: what is the reason for exactly 2 cells on the left, why not on the right?

Because this is the shortest path to this ГО on foot. The General Rule for breaking through such a ГО is written for situations without control. Using DD - you can jump to the cell to the right of the efreets. And with flight/wings - one should move along the shortest path within their own respawn - in this case, via the snow cells that are blocked by gold dragons.

Why should it be?))) What made you think that's how it should be?))) On what basis is there such a restriction on the strategy and possibilities of the player? After all, this is also an element of strategy – where and how to position your hero the day before breaking through the GO (General Objective), staying away and seeing several treasure zone cells (which may not show anything at all). At the same time, you still spend movement points running along roads without penalty or at the GO itself, spending nothing, and then decide which direction to look with flying units...

Typical quibbling... and yes, I'll join Vic, good that you're not judging... Dark made a completely logical action by using wings, and the stories about him incidentally seeing 5 cells of treasure zone - that's already too much coldness and a desire to nitpick in order to snatch victory where you lost... If it comes to that, wings themselves are wildly imbalanced on Jebus Cross, especially if they are on respawn, let's ban them
