I suggest banning the use of spells from scrolls of levels 4 and 5 in the qualifying rounds, as in the Chaos rules. As for the duration of the ban, we could reduce it by a week at the start, setting it to 10,000. The reason is, for example, Alex's game against the Chinese player, and also some personal experience.
The Chinese player won fairly - he built level 4 magic, and they could have given him Armageddon there too ;)
maybe we should ban the use of level 4-5 magic at the beginning, and then gradually ban it altogether?
what are these silly desires to ban everything? - although I think it's all coming from TE, like we need game balance :)))
as an option, let's play with only one peasant in the army - don't buy anyone else. Just kidding.
