New interportal.

If the problem with 8mm6 boils down solely to Pete, then I don't see a problem – let him play on his preferred map. I would like to ask you to clarify this situation, and if everything is really as described, then we can return to the original proposal of 8mm6+2sm4d(3). It is also pleasing that there are players who are willing to play on a neutral map (scorp, Aldegir). Added 11 minutes later

Why does everyone talk about some mythical "other" templates, on which it will be difficult to play, especially for Bayu? It seems to me that the total number of acceptable templates for playing Heroes 3 (a politically correct statement :)) is not that many – no more than 7. Let's list them all. Let's outline the circle of templates, so to speak. Many things will become clear.

From what I know: XL+U: 1) 8mm6 (plus modification) 2) 8xm12 (plus modification) 3) 6lm10 (plus modification) 4) Nostalgia 5) Spider XL-U 6) Jebus L+U 7) 2sm4d(3) (plus modifications) 8) Balance 9) Panic 10) Mini-Nostalgia 11) Anarchy (played in Schism) There are also many other templates for L/L+U, played abroad, but they have not really taken root on Russian-speaking sites. I have no information about their playability, but in any case, it is very difficult to create a playable template for L+U – the map size is too small to fit enough objects into it to overcome the variance of the layouts. In essence, only Mini-Nostalgia somehow manages to achieve balance in the generations, and maybe some individual layers from Anarchy.
