Ok...
...so I tried it. I played with Rampart (Gelu) on impossible difficulty and got to finish it in month 3, week 3, day 5. Not ideal I know, but I had to chase that Adrienne all around those swamps. Damn Pathfinding!!!
Got 442 points for that. Also not so great, but this is due to not finding the grail myself and not taking that Conflux I scouted on some island.
About the grail issue. I agree with malkia here. In this game Necropolis also got the grail; luckily I conquered it pretty early before they began to make troubles (we are talking still early game here).
It was an early breakthrough with Gelu and Sharpshooters, straight to the Inferno towns (it proved to be the middle later on). Necropolis followed pretty closely, and when I got backup I finished Dungeon towns in the north. The rest was a child's play.
As for Gelu, he finished level 23 (162066 exp); with expert archery, leadership, tactics, diplomacy, armorer, offense, wisdom and earth magic (logistics wouldn't hurt I know - I got Kyrre for support - level 12 I think); primary skills being A12 D17 P15 K18 without any artifacts.
A fast map. I liked it, but the AI allies were good for nothing as usual. None of them ever got to fight except the wandering monsters. Too bad. Ever considered making a non - ally version. Should try it first though, I know

Maybe you could if you copy / pasted it from some ab or sod map (via editor). I had heard somewhere that this had worked. Who'd know?!

One more thing - I've noticed that Stronghold (barbarians) got Behemoth Dwelling near them, while Fortress (lizards) didn't get any Hydra dwelling. May be one should be added to be more symmetrical. Can't remmeber now for the other races/colors how it was.

U make a mirrored map and people complain because its mirrord so its no variation in it.
U create a balanced map which is not mirrored people complain because some ppl has certain mines/dwells closer.
U create a map thats not balanced so each place has its good&bad sides ppl complain about their bad sides. (or the other one´s good sides)
U create a open map and people will complain that its open.
U create a closed map and people will complain its closed.
U create a map with banned heroes/arts/spells and people will complain about those heroes/arts/spells that is banned.
U create a map without banned heroes/arts and people will complain why those arts/heroes/spells isnt banned.
I could go on with this for while, its just lucky that all ppl have some maps that they like.
What im trying to say is that u cant please everyone. Make a map that you are satisfied with then its up to the rest of the folks wether they like it or not.

Yes, it can be done, and that's exactly what I did.

Yes, I agree. Especially when it is a two - sided alliance we're talking about. The other two alliances are three - sided, so some advantages here would probably be ok...
Anyway, just an opinion

Someone want to try my map? or perhaps help me do the balancing part? (i don't have enough time yet to test all towns).
Honestly, this is my first XL map. 
http://www.ghproduction.f2s.com/downloads/h3sod_map.h3m
Cost to create this map is over a week  , since all trees, hills, and other objects are placed manually (Without using "obstacle-tool").
Wait you're telling me there is an obstacle tool. What does it do?

There is a n obstacle tool in the map editor. It changes the map's looks acording to your wish. You can set it from rare to often (or sth like that). This will only increase or decrease the quantity of terrain obstacles on the map.

Yes, that Behemoth Dwelling for balancing the alliances . Any other idea?
To Targon
Thanks for Rampart information. And about non-allied map... hmm.. i think im too lazy to make it. Doesn't have enough "free-time" to try it.

If it's okay, I'll try and modify the map. It's easy, just disable teams and put something between the towns.
