Round table

And I almost always try to ban in such a way as to leave a non-standard pick, but things like Rampart-Dungeon are always easy to ban. My preferences: 1. Dungeon (one of the few factions with which even I can do a decent rush) 2. Fortress (a rather unpleasant town if you play almost without losses; by the end you get an army that is very hard to kill) 3. Rampart (usually nobody wants to ban it, so there's a chance to play for it, or leave something like Rampart-Tower) 4. Castle (read too many reports, lost to Invisibility, and now I try to play a Necro hero when playing this town) 5. Inferno (just like it, despite everything, and yet if the choice is between Inferno and Castle against Rampart, I'll take Castle :)) 6. Stronghold 7. Tower — this is if without Conflux and Necro. With them, they are in 1st and 2nd places respectively. Almost always don't mind playing Inferno if I ban second and the opponent doesn't mind banning Rampart, Dungeon, and Necro, but that rarely happens. I don't really like Barbarian and Tower, and since the first one is often eagerly taken, I try to leave it.
