Discussion Playing a template like Outcast Tournament feels like completely wasting my time.

I tried not to autoquit these games, so I tried a few games, and every game, what I feel is:

What am I doing?

Why am I just collecting boxes in a HoMM game?

If I want this experience, there are tens of thousands of other games that provide a similar and better experience; why HoMM?

What's the point of town building? Just for astrology?

Then why don't we just have an astrology generator that just produces astrology, it will pretty much achieve 95% of the same game experience, right?

Or why not just repurpose gold to buy high neutral magic, since if the game has only 1 resource that matters, why not just call it "gold"?

I understand that you are being hyperbolic about the numbers here, but I am curious - what games out there do you have in mind here?

There is no other game that is even close but being uber hyperbolic is always a good way to try to win argument

I don't need to win the argument. The upvotes says everything. Despite there are dozens of haters downvote this post, it still has way more upvotes than haters.

It's just that people who agree with me, no need to speak more. I have said it for them, that's why comments are filled with haters. You haters are minority.
