Is it because top players don't want to play Soda if they lose the template trade?
Has the option of trading for something other than gold been considered (gold trade – for the castle and hero), a timer trade for the version?
This could be implemented by allowing the second player to access the computer or by tracking the change in the time bar of his turn after the start of the game through the traded time x2. (sold for 4 minutes, a timer of 23 minutes is set, the buyer of the template starts their first move at their 15th minute).
This time bonus would slightly complicate the life of the player playing the comfortable version and, conversely, give a few extra minutes to the player playing a potentially less comfortable version.
