I'll probably drop by as well, unless it ends up like the Kyiv qualifier. That time, we thought about just playing a couple of maps against each other without any judges—it would have taken 10-15 minutes, but saved a decent amount of time... I'm ashamed to bring my laptop, it's old and patched up. As for templates—it wouldn't hurt to enable mirrors, I'm categorically against Jebus Cross (if the generation is done by an independent party, it could be included as well). Any date works. The version is obviously WT, but let the HD mod get refined first so I don't forget to deploy troops out of habit. And on SoD, you can't really run large XL templates—the one-way passages and the lack of Mage Guild rearrangement are annoying.
The main thing is that HoMM runs on the laptop ). And what's wrong with the HD mod?
