As many have noted, online tournaments often feature a compromise version within the current pool of mini-Nosta templates, where rather non-interactive and also one-sided games are observed.

It is already too late to change templates in the ongoing tournament, but this is possible at an offline event. I suggest another compromise version of the L+U template Boomerang. It has been played before in the Game of Thrones-2 tournament. It's not popular in the lobby (but what else is popular there besides Jebs, 6LM, and Mirrors? :D). But that’s not an argument; MiniNosta and Diamond aren’t particularly popular either.

The template scheme is somewhat similar: it involves dividing into halves, picking computers (the outcome of the games depends on finding the Grail). However, all treasure zones are interactive, with relics present on the ground. Accordingly, we get a more interactive template with competition for treasure zones in the second week, with some randomness (but not as much as on Diamond). Building up the Mage Guild and controlling the map are also required, IMHO.

It's still the same kind of randomness, plus red units being overpowered, right? Interactive, yes, but hero players don't really like interactive heroes.
