I'll start by saying that family, work, and other matters take priority over gaming, but sometimes you just want to play. Hotseat + UMAP isn't an option because it often takes 10+ hours of real time, involves a lot of saving and attempts to connect with an opponent, which ultimately steals a significant chunk of the positive emotions from the experience. Turn-based games, where you take turns, are faster, but the saving problem still remains.
In this situation, arena-style maps seem like a good solution. They cut out a significant portion of the game, but you can still get enjoyment from playing with minimal time commitment in real life.
First and foremost, I'd like to hear from people who are interested in this, who would be happy to play Heroes with minimal movement of units across the map, but with a high-quality endgame. To narrow the search for opponents and further develop this direction, I suggest posting in this thread.
