Another thing. On Balance there are no guards between two central zones. Also, there are no guards between desert zone and central zone(s). I think this should be mentioned. I dunno how experienced on Balance Russians are, this may confuse them.

I actually prefer to have the option to choose as far as Sod players are concerned.

So who ever is comfortable to play Balance or Jebus temp at that time can choose rather than keep it very limited. It will help us as well as our opponents.

Well, alot of things are still unknown. What is the exact format of competition? How many games should be played? I guess Russians also have their rules and templates. What are they?

Ok, they play 2sm4d3 L+U, we play Balance L. But what format of competition is used?

Example. Match between WCL and HeroesWorld. Each side has 8 players.
Lets say there will be 8 matchups. Does all players play Balance WCL rules one game and 2sm4d3 Russian rules 2nd game? What would happen in a case of 1:1 result then?
Or half players play WCL rules and map, other half play HW rules and map? Or something completely different?

Or you must take opponent's town with necessary Magic Guild level (it's not necessary to visit this town by magic specialist).
b) You visited any place where you could learn this magic, or took it from Pandora's Box or Magic Book.
This heroes can use their special magic against any neutrals.

I dont think so. 2sm4d(3) is different than Jebus and allowing your opponent to start with Shakti there would be suicide, IMO. Lets say it will be tower vs inferno.

Not much better, is it?

Removing 1 or 2 towns (flux, necro) is one thing, but removing 6 or 7?...

Wouldn't it be much easier to just play chess then?

All depends what you eliminate. Noone says you have to eliminate the best towns first.

Besides that I see many weaknesses in that rule set. With some luck good games will happen anyway.

Edited by SAG at 16:01, 14 Mar 2010.

some more details:
we setup different rules/teams to play with different leagues. Currently setup for match with HeroesWorld (HW) will be the following:
SOD team:
 WCL rules:
    -  Maretti
    -  Lord of TajMahal
 HW rules:
    -  Paladin H3
    -  TheVinz
TE team:
 WCL rules:
    -  Liophy
    -  Fank
 HW rules:
    -  Protos
    -  Black_knight

I suggest Balance for TE as well? or what do you propose?
We sould assign pairs for HW players on their rules:
SOD - Aldegir, NumOne,
TE - Pit, Britvo4ka

I suggest:
Paladin H3 - Aldegir
TheVinz - NumOne
Protos - Pit
Black_knight - Britvo4ka

By default only 1 game. If BOTH players agree - then by 2 wins.
Rules with other leagues to follow later.
