Saying that L is a map that is played based on time, just like HL, is nonsense and absurd...
damn, one more time for those pretending to be stupid -- ARGUMENTS!!! and not just baseless statements... especially statements from those who claim to know Might and Magic 6 very well)))))
if you don't go (delve) into the Treasury on Castle Map, but immediately pressure your opponent, not letting him go there (don't confuse this with early rushes, which also work on Exile maps))), then in principle the game is faster on average.... but when both players like to "fatten up" (accumulate resources), and it depends on who gets more lucky with resources, then there is no difference.... yes, you can also prolong the game on Exile maps, but this is extremely rare, as I already wrote :)
...... and those "without experience" on a familiar Castle Map template have a great chance to defeat those "with experience".
and I'm ready to repeat, to prove the absurdity of the quote -- I wrote above that I am ready within the framework of a tournament to play Castle Map with anyone, and before the tournament, I can also do a test drive with anyone who wants on Might and Magic 6, with a post-game analysis... the offer is still valid)))))
