I agree.
But I disagree here... Personally, I think that the map shouldn't have perfect balance or symmetry... there should be at least some element of randomness.
Hmm, we got 9 with Uranus...
I have a different opinion on this: Randomness completely destroys the whole idea of player skill, i.e., due to randomness, a player can easily "lose" to a player who is demonstrably weaker (although not by much, i.e., just a little bit).
I'm working on a map called "Devil's Spawn" (I have an idea, and I'll start working on it when I have time), and everything in it will be predetermined, and only the player's skill and tactical thinking will be the key to victory.
P.S. And your criticism will help me to better balance the Shadow and create the Spawn :)

Why are all the starting skills of the red player's starting hero replaced with Expert Wisdom? What's the point if the 3rd tier appears no earlier than the second month? It turns out that there's no point in choosing a hero at all - they will all be like identical twins, only with different names ;) Oh, and I almost forgot, the blue player is deprived of this privilege, i.e., his starting hero has ordinary secondary skills. Is this how it should be? If so, why?
I'll take a look at what this nonsense is. It shouldn't be like that with Wisdom. The only thing I did was remove the Diplomacy skill from heroes with Diplomacy and, instead, increased the first skill by +1. We'll figure out what's what.
How much time did you spend creating it?
It took about 70-80 hours.

... although you can also get a slowdown.
The idea of the map is that you can only get a slowdown in the lower Castle, hmm, I'll fix this bug... that it can be obtained (slow) on the respawn :)

It's not even about the skill tree. You get horses and a Castle on the 2nd week anyway thanks to the external market.
Yes, yes... the external market with guards and a few stones and wood added... just so that it would be easier to live :) Because during testing... it was really bad without it :)
