Playing on L-shaped maps.

Damacon, I completely agree with you! For me, true skill lies in a player's ability to win while playing with any faction and using the heroes available at the beginning of the game. After all, it's interesting: in each situation, there's a unique path of development and a unique tactic! Acting according to a template is boring for me! :( "Give me a fulcrum" (a favorite faction, a favorite hero, favorite creatures, a spellbook with favorite spells...), and I will crush everyone! :D But what if they don't? :)
