Something is wrong with the resurrection in HotA; it doesn't work as it should (SOD). Please revert to requiring air element, otherwise, a mage can heal an opponent, and the opponent resurrects without air.

In HotA, resurrection has been moved from Air to Fire. Sorry, we didn't have time to reflect this in the changelog; we will fix it in the coming days.

in the code, so that the resurrected creature remains after the battle, you need to advance Air. It was a surprise that it doesn't work that way in HotA.

Maybe we misunderstood, but in SoD, when you resurrect with mass earth, it dies after the battle; to make it stay, you need to advance Air (which is how it works in SoD).

I was most concerned about these moments; perhaps the context of his messages is hidden in the links below, and the Heroes-related topics generally don't carry any meaningful content, as is clearly evident from his questions or statements, especially in his latest message. Therefore, I'm not surprised if in reality he is not a programmer, as he once claimed, but just an ordinary member of a cult. :cool:

Why not add functionality to the library for diplomats? For example, a ring that reduces the required level by 2, a medal by 3, a ribbon by 4, and a toga that removes the requirements altogether. This wouldn't create a significant imbalance in the game, but it wouldn't be completely useless either – for example, you could use the library to level up a weak diplomat wearing a toga to gain the necessary knowledge, and so on. The main advantage is that it would increase the logical consistency and harmony of the game: the Burial Urn and the Fist of Ogre are excellent in this regard, so why not bring the Diplomat's Toga to the same level?

I suggest adding a "Novice Set" to the game (Axe +2, Shield +2, Breastplate +1, Helmet +1) with a small but pleasant bonus. Examples of bonuses (as I see them): 1) +1 to speed, +2 attack, and +2 defense for all level 1 units - this complements the fact that it's a novice set and provides a boost to level 1 units (some variation across levels is possible). 2) Give an additional +1/+2 to all stats. 3) Similar to other sets, cast a single useful spell at the start that isn't available in other sets (e.g., Blessing, Joy, Luck, or Sorrow). This addition could be a good help at the beginning of the game and also add possibilities for simplifying second-front pushes in the later stages, making the game more dynamic when collecting this set.

I suggest adding "Seth Lakerca" to the game (Prophecy Cards, Dove of Fortune, Clover of Fortune). Bonuses:
1) Luck triggers every time during an attack.
2) All potions become maximum.
3) Changes the hero's name to Aiwe.

I suggest adding "Set of Luck" to the game (Prophecy Cards, Dove of Fortune, Clover of Fortune). Bonuses:
1) Luck triggers every time you attack.
2) All potions become maximum.
3) Changes the hero's name to Aiwe.

4) You still lose in 20% of cases, regardless of your army.

Come on, they added the Mantle of the Diplomat, Amulet of Reflection, Golden Goose, and Iron Fist armor. Why not continue and introduce a Beginner Set, a Devil Set (sword +6, shield +6, breastplate +5, helmet +5), and a Chaos Set (Staff +4, Shield +4, Breastplate +3, Helmet +3).

Well, for the Swamp set (+4/+3), it would be great to have a function like "casts mass shield, mass skin, and mass air shield."

It is obvious to me that in order to create a proper tournament version of Heroes, we must continue working on everything that "sticks out."

1) cut the percentage of imbalanced special abilities that have no equal — offense, armor, log (if in a duel between equals one gets a hero from this set and the other doesn't — most likely гг because "he just got lucky, Tazar walked into the tavern")
2) move TP/Resurrect (or both) out of the Earth school, DD out of the Air school (in magic, more absurdities could be reconsidered)
3) buff useless special abilities (this was done in WT, and it improved the game).

It is not necessary to make this part of the official HotA "for the plebs." I am talking about something needed as a Tournament Edition option (I really like this term).
Why specifically as an option — for the same reason why not everyone plays HotA. Because it's hard for people to master the changelog. And it is clear that just as CIS tournaments were started by the TE crowd and continued by WT — such events should be played on the most hardcore, highest-quality version of the game from a balancing perspective.

And for the Ogre Fist – mass bloodlust, mass execution, and mass accuracy?

Bloodlust is already available... Executioner-Gloom-Accuracy as an option...

And, it seems, not for the Fist of Ogre, but for the Devilish Set +6/+5 (we still need to come up with a name).
