What is the fundamental difference between SOD and TE? I, for example, don't see it.

I'll chime in.
Since I'm currently playing on SOD and have started to clearly understand the difference between the two.
In SOD, there are "difficult castles" that are risky to take due to the starting army. For example, Inferno and Swamp (very random starting army).

In TE, you can safely choose and know what you're getting into.

What Invisible and LeBron said +1
The real-time aspect of TE saves a lot of time, and what could be more important? :confused:

Right now, I'm in a SOD tournament on Jebus. The starting imbalance is so great that I'm just in shock. If the army doesn't spawn correctly, there are no restarts, and that's it, GG, there's no way to catch up.
