it is great to have no rules, but .. sometimes we just need them, if you don't agree.. say it..
I say , that We set rules.. we do it because we need to balance the game... that is all
sometimes, some of us .. do it when they player a better player to try to limitate the "skills" by forcing him/she to accept some rules.. might sound stupid, but that's just the way it is..
anyway rules might be welcomed and not welcomed.. it depends
heh that was my 2cents

I guess I am a little late on this topic..
But I the No necro thing is pretty fair lol.. Not because of the legions of skeletons or anything like that ...
But players that week 2 day 2 will have 4-5 necro heroes running with 2-3 vampire lords each killing hordes upon hordes of creatures to build skels. This bores me.. a 10-15mins turn here and there is expected.. but to do this everyturn for an extra 500 skels by end game is BORING.
Also one thing I do not care for about necro is the ease in which they can do things.. Such as COnservatories. Tell me one other town that can do 200 griffons week 2 with merely a external lv4 dwelling. And quite possibly without.
But really I think someone told me once that I always thought funny.
"Fear or Love of Necro" <----Sign of a total newbie
Anyway stupid rules lol
1. No double Building... this one cracks me up.. I can claim a lv7 dwelling, 3 topias, and a couple libraries.. But I'll be damned if I can have a 2nd castle!!
hmmm prolly the rest have been said.
THe one rule I really enjoy using is No born Diplomacy.
Not because I find it cheap or silly.. but just because the minute I see Ryland sitting in tavern one day the whole game changes flavor. I now know I need to have diplo to stand a chance.. and that sucks

Just what it says!
If you don't have a wood or coal mine in your area after 1 week of scouting game restart.
This was a standard rule I used with players such as MidnightWraith and Joetheloser otherwise if one got them and the other didn't it was basically game over.
Unless you've found a way to build without them please let me know lol......DH!!

Ahh...I misunderstood!
But there is a wood and ORE mine near castle on every map.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Do you mean it its blocked?...then sure restart.
But if you miss a mine from bad scouting then I disagree.
Also, if you have view earth you will know where most mines are on map immediately.

Blocked or not within a weeks scouting of your castle.
This is a rule we came up with and were happy with.
As the people I play are trustworthy, sometimes, if there is enough free wood and coal lying around, this rule is sometimes wavered by one or the other anyway.

Yeah, wood and ore mines...
I don't mind restarting when they're blocked, but I also hate restarting for bad scouting, even in a limited hero format like Native Hero or The Hero.
Especially when you have a game where your opponent has been charging hard down the road (instead of exploring), and you know he's been fighting a lot of battles with day one and day two troops that might have been better left for a couple of days.
I often explore heavily to start, especially with limited hero maps. By not having to buy troops every turn, I can focus on building based on the resources I'm uncovering and only buying monsters as I need them.
Of course, that is one of the interesting things about this game...sometimes fighting for every step is the only way to go!

Sorry, i have to disagree with u here. So if my path or w/o mines are blocked by horde of lvl 3+ it's not fair to restart ?
And yes "No necro" on random maps is a good rule not because of legions of skel but with enough power + knowledge and animate dead u can take almost everthing on that map (including utopias ) within 3 weeks.

Hi,
Why have any rules?When you play the computer in a single game you get no rules to make,you attack when ya want and you get to build what ya want,have any heroe so on.This to me makes it fun i could never remeber all these crazy rules.To me it just plain stupid to hit another player with all the rules your so busy trying to remeber all the rules the other has possed on you,you have no time to think what your doing in the game but trying to remeber what you are allowed to do or not allowed to do.Where is the fun in that?

I disagree
No rules is fine for a ToH map for instance, when you know the map is well balanced.
But for randoms a few simple rules can help even out an otherwise unbalanced map.
Not hard to remember No Carto/grail
If you want to sharpen your scouting skills, play a few Native or The Hero games on Random maps.
Grey is right on the money!!
Main objective is Castle build and Not charging for another town.
It can be quite challenging to find wood/ore mines + main precious resource mine required for castle type, with only 1 or 2 heroes first week.
Regarding Necro,,,for me it's either No necro or All necro.
What other Castle type can begin taking Conservs wk 2 day 1 with Lvl 4 creatures with relative ease?

Again, I say all great games were ruined by rules!! look what rules have done to football. Players get a little rough and awww Ref to the rescue with there little yellow flag. Pretty soon heroes is gonna have a Ref with a little yellow flag as well, this game is mostly based on luck so I say see who has the luck forget restarts play what your delt!! Just my opinion tho

meh......
rules or no rules each game you play will have different circumstances causing you choose a rule or loose a rule.
Say you get owned by Solmyr on an open map so you change your situation by saying no 4th lvl heroes. Then all of a sudden you get owned by a lvl 20 hack and you know you could of won if you had hit and run with solmyr a few times so omit your own rule.
I personally play with no rules with people I know well enough that most of have certain understandings about certain tactics other than that its bare fists With people I dont trust or dont know well enough I play with no hit and run but thats about it. I am normally the person to have rules forced upon such as no lvl 4 heroes (blah like i would use those wimps anyway) or no lvl 4 level (first and last time i played him and his friend in season 1)
another funny rule i saw was..
1001 ways for fawk Vesuvius (wonder what that means?)
