Among the recent suggestions, I propose banning Lethos on short maps. Because I have been convinced many times (and I myself have played as Lethos) that he is too strong in early game rushes. And by the way, why isn't the "Mysterious City" map included? In my opinion, it's a good map to play with two players, not four. I think that's all.

I want to suggest the "War of Survival" map! In my opinion, it's a good map for playing with two players, and it's quite balanced!

Although I won't be participating (because of the Olympiad), here are a few points.
1. All the modded templates were balanced for hero difficulty. Trust me, there will be enough resources and money. Besides, they were balanced for a specific size. The thing is, when you set a smaller size, it generates stronger monsters and races (heroes) with a weaker starting advantage start to fall behind, and again, the machines, etc., gain an advantage, which is what we were trying to avoid - imbalance. The medium size with an underground is recommended by the creators (including Moz) for the "Smile" and "Chaos" maps. The others listed are large with an underground (which is not very good) - the only one I need to clarify is the "Sun" map - I don't remember. At the same time, if both players don't want to focus on developing for a long time (there is room for that), the first encounter between the main heroes usually happens no later than week 6 (usually - but there are always exceptions, and the templates are different).
2. I haven't even seen it yet. But in principle, it could generate a cartographer - we need to ban it. Everything else is fine now - it doesn't generate water, and the fort on the hill is guarded.
