How many template choices are there for XL with under?
From my rmg.file i have removed all named temps(except DT), all 8's, 4smod, 2sm4d.
I tried to host a Necro vs Necro on XL with under and the comp couldn't make a map?

well, splexx, that could have some different reasons. Easiest would be if you sent your rmg.txt file to haile_g@gmx.de (preferably zipped)
As for Oceans Eleven, having recieved some feedback from midnight (thanks for it  ), I slightly modified the template: Added one connection and made guards to middle zone a (little) bit tougher. Anyone interested should mail to the email adress given above. Maybe we can even upload the file somewhere, in case anybody likes it.

conserve reduction
rather than banning treasure stacks between 2250 and 3250, I've expanded that to 2000 to 3500 since a few conserves snuck through. Since then I've only had conserves combined with other items.

one is, like u say, completely random where there are utopias everywhere, # of towns is random. allow as much of everything as you want. this is map u would like.
Close, but not 100% accurate. 
I like it when there is chance of conserves, topes and 7th dwellings, but I donīt like the maps 25000 50000 20, I like them 600 50000 10 600 25000 10 600 3000 10.
Where everything and anything can happen. Not an orgy of high worth structures, but rather not knowing what kind of map it will be.
Adapting to fit in a new environment is more fun the less you know about it from start. Thatīs why I like listening to the radio instead of playing mp3:s, or when I play them, always randomize the list.
If I know whatīs going to happen, my imagination is more efficient than RL means. RL is for surprises, love, and beauty, and thereīs not enough of it to waste on playing with a script.. Thatīs why I like my randoms ULTRA-random!! 
YES! GO! RAAAANDOM! WOOOOOOOHHH!!
YEAAAAAAH!! HAHAAAAAA YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

it will be fun to play no doubt, ur exploring the other end of the random spectrum than me, so that is a good thing. btw u will get heaps of topes with those settings. utopias kick in after 10000, if u have 500 50000 or 500 25000 u will get loads of them. Interestingly it is the 10000 to 20000 range that gets most of them, after that the big boxes seem to be more common.

the 30K limit
at over 30k u can get boxes with every single spell in them. if u look at the 3do templates, none of the stacks r set at over 30k. Only way to ensure u dont get the all spells box is to make all stacks under 30k. If u think this box would be a cool part of the game then make stacks as big as u want

some templates to test
I've compiled a few templates to play with. I'm interested in feedback from ppl who have played a full game. I've done lots of week 1's etc. so more interested in how the mid to end game works out. I'm hoping ppl need to take a few risks to win rather than just sit around doing double builds.

Midnight and all who have made rmg files
Can you stick that thing in a zip file and send it to raven@toheroes.com so I can take a look at it? I am interested in this and would be interested in posting the templates for people to download but I don't really know much about how to do them myself so I can't just look at your page and make my own, hehe. One of these millenium when I don't have anything else that desperately needs done I will sit down and learn how to do this, but that won't happen anytime soon. You guys just keep me too darn busy!! (and NO I am NOT complaining)! Anyway if someone is willing to steer me in the right directions I would definitely be interested in setting something up so let's communicate !

May u never succed in taking out conservatories!!! may all yr efforts end in failure !!!
Conservs are alot what randoms are about. the roads and guards will never be fair in terms of disstance or speed of block creatures. So taking cons and hives away, just makes less options for the player with the less good area logisticly, to catch up in my opinon. the more ooptions the more fun and the harder to get it all done.
sure u get screwed time from time by opp having a couple of cons or hives more than u but thats fun trying to deal with..
Let them live!

ya me sees this as a "removal of creature banks conspiracy" by the very mean "town builders!!! oh wait, im a builder too =P
Nah but what archie says makes sense too me, randoms are about adapting to what you get and if you for example dont get resources needed for a good build you need other ways to catch up. If some of us "builders" try to close this option down i will just see it as an attempt to remove what they lack in skill with. Im not a good bank taker yet, but i still want it to be an option (if nothing less i can always blame my loss on it ) to trying to catch up.

that discussion if cons should be banned or not are kinda ridiculous to me. if you like cons: play templates with em - if you dont like cons: look forward to the templates without em. i say the more different templates the betterthat " i-allways-had-cons on-randoms-dont-take-that-away-tossing" makes no sense at all.

well offcourse it makes sence.
if u have to many alternetives and to many player preferences it will get impossible to get a game.
we allrdy have like those who like no diplo no necro etc..
(the rules ppl me included) and the no rules all is allowed ppl. lately we have the ppl who want rmg and the ones who dont rmg, lets not also have the ones who like no cons rmg and or no cons/hive rmg zzzzzzzz

Great Job, Motor !
I've made an updated version of Oceans Eleven (did I send it to you already?), which makes guards a bit tougher and adds a zone link.
Also (as you told me), Gimli's Revenge needs some fine-tuning still. I might be able to do that in the next week(s).

egg sucking
geeze u trying to tell me how to suck an egg archie I know how to use conserves in game mate ;P
One thing is for sure, as soon as relics removed, the conserves and hives will win the game, so if u gonna remove relics u need to slow down double builds, and thin out the conserves and hives. Panic is the only template like that, and will get hives and conserves, just not so many.
i dont agree at all that it is gonna get harder to get random games. The biggest problem i ever had with randoms was spending an hour doing restarts before the game got going. Now with the custom templates there will be much much less restarting. Consequently it is more attractive for ppl to play them.
and just to keep u happy, it is impossible to get rid of conserves

Why donīt u just remove everything?
just make 2 zones with 1 of each mine, 1 town with fort, and nothing else. Then its truly a test of skill..
OR you can play Jebus cross and deal with the maps that the game creates. No bannings, no sissy play, no removing this and that but not that stuff and keep that..
I like my randoms with everything on!

sissy lol I slap your heathen face with a chain mail glove 
u dont get it bjorn, it is not about banning, it is about getting more variation. That is the irony, u r wanting everything "on" so maps will all feel the same apart from the size of blocks u have.
I dont ban anything as a blanket rule, not even 30K+ boxes that give u every spell in the game with 1 battle (check Triad or Reckless).
So if ur not arguing with me u must be arguing with ur vivid imagination
