Original campaigns were not holy scriptures, they had their own flaws and restricted visions of a game. They can be improved with balance changes and wouldn't lose flavor.
HOTA fixes exploits. Original campaigns are winnable without exploits. In my opinion it makes the original campaigns even better.
Remember back then patching wasn't a thing. Playtesting wasn't a thing still they manage to get things right.
A good game is where every skill ,every creature has some use and strategically viable. Some better than others but still not brain dead choices.

Not entirely true - playtesting was a thing, but it was less developed and formal than now, and patching was a thing, but it was in the transitional period between 'patches via expansions' and 'integrated patch downloads' (note that NWC in that time period were not strangers to delivering patches via the internet).

Pretty long shot but any chance the Hota template editor could export to SoD format?
I can import SoD templates just fine, maybe an export can happen too?
Right now I just create a template in Hota editor, open it in excel and delete the new columns, and it generally works.
