1) The topic "Rules for Online Tournaments in Heroes 5" :), the first post contains a link to the "non-tournament" rules (ranked games). Thank you for correcting me. 2) I didn't say that 2 minutes is normal. I just remembered games with such a time limit per turn. 3) VV and I are currently arguing about Diplomacy and joining neutrals. In theory, you could not hire troops in the castle at all and fight with the joined neutrals. Another question: what prevents the opponent from trying their luck with neutrals? If one race had an advantage in this regard, for example, if neutrals didn't join Necropolis, but every 2nd unit asked to join Haven for free, then there would be an imbalance. P.S. What does fairness mean to you? If it's absolute equality, then even with the same race, absolutely identical neutrals, and the same hero level, it won't exist. Because the initial troop placement on the turn order scale, morale, and luck will play their part.
