Template Questions
I just started using templates for generating maps. So far I'm using Jebus which seems to put resources closer to the town. Can someone give me a breakdown on templates and suggest which ones is best or pros and cons, please!??

A template is what the random map generator uses to create maps. The maps are random, but maps made from the same template have many things in common. For example things like how rich it is, number of towns, number/type of artifacts, the strength of guards, the number of zones, etc.

The AI has it's own templates built in. It chooses the template randomly based on the choices you make when you set up the game.
If you want to decide yourself which template to use, you take the template and put it in the heroes/data folder. If the program sees a template in that folder, it will ignore all internal templates and use the one in the data folder.
All templates have different names so we can tell them apart. But to use them they must first be renamed to RMG.TXT. For example rename balance.txt to rmg.txt and place it in the heroes/data folder.
Each template has certain limitations such as number of players, size of map, etc. If you make choices that are not supported by the template, you will get an error. If this happens, try a different set of choices.

Ok this seems to be a thread with a reasonable name for this question (after 5 years) :
Can anyone explain what those numbers and letters in template names mean? I've heard someone saing "anything with 2 in it means too early meeting", but that's about it. And templates with higher numbers in it seem to have more utopias and sulfurous lairs. But what about things like 8mm0? I'm sure the first and second number mean something.
Edit: Ok I made a bunch of games with 3 and 8 players with default templates. It seems that the first number will never be smaller than the number of players, thus suggesting that it's the maximum number of players  Like with 8 players the first number will always be 8. With 3 players you will never get a template that starts with 2.

Another template question
is it possible to block fly/dd via template; in a way it just doesn't show in guilds?
