In this template, you can only get an army of creatures from levels 1-5.

Different cities can use different strategies. Castle, Rampart, Tower can play through diplomacy, Inferno – through demoning, Conflux – through Moon, Necropolis – through necromancy. Dungeon, Fortress, Stronghold – simply through "brute physical force" of Crag, Tazar, Miner.

4.1.1. Main features of the template:

A special algorithm guarantees that in each generation:

• In the player zones, the number of army units from levels 1-5 will be sufficient to break through the ГО (Guard of Order).
• The armies that can be obtained in the player zones will be approximately equal in strength to each other.
• The sources of the army are cities, outposts, pandoras, hermit huts (always generated in the same zone as the desired artifact), as well as "Diplomacy", "Necromancy", "Demoning".

• Naga: 1,600.
• Royal Naga: 2,400.
• Hydra: 3,200.
• Chaos Hydra: 5,000.

4.1.3.5. The "Raise Dead" spell can only appear after 1-2 rebuilds.

4.1.3.6. The "Town Portal" and "Dimension Door" spells always appear after 1-2 rebuilds.

4.1.3.8. In the central zone, both cities have a castle and a built level 1-5 creature.

4.2. Added the "Clash of Dragons (Fresh Mod)" template.

For all "super-treasure" zones, a neutral faction type is set.

4.3. Updated the "RAI" template to version 6.

4.3.1. All restrictions on summons, resurrection, and the presence of the "Explosion" spell have been removed.

4.3.2. The number of cities in the orange/green AI zones has been reduced to 2. At the same time, the central city is fully built from the start (except for the Grail).

Templates in the folders "6lm10b", "Jebus LTE", "mt_Jebus (Fresh Mod)", "RAI", "Clash of Dragons (Fresh Mod)", "Jebus Cross (T1-T5)", "6lm10b Army Balance" are replaced with each mod update. Therefore, you need to create separate folders for your versions of these templates.
