No, it's not related at all. Once you figure it out, you'll know it for life. And what does it have to do with several years? It takes 10 minutes, and even without starting the game. You look, there are 2 portals, one is 50, the other is 100, you right-click and see the monsters. That's it. What's so complicated? Well, sometimes it's hard to determine the strength of the monsters, but that's the case for everyone, especially for me, and it doesn't prevent me from navigating. You look at the danger level, if it's the same, you send part of the army, and look again. Of course, this is only if different portals are expected. But there's no stupid generation of relics and mentors at the castle.
Okay, let's not argue. In any case, I just wanted to say that a tournament on standard maps would also be interesting, and I'm not arguing that TE is better; I personally enjoy playing in TE, but objectively, an experienced TE player will always be stronger than a novice, in my opinion.
