I'd like to clarify this so we don't have unnecessary arguments later: what specific settings are meant by the phrase "VT with SOD"? For some, it's just VT without experience and classes, while others want their favorite morale bonuses, naval artifacts, and scrolls, and of course, an unbuilt 2nd-level building – otherwise, it's "not cool," you know... I suggest that everyone share their opinion on this and, based on the "average," we can decide. :cool:

My version:
- roads everywhere except for Castle, fast (8mm6a should already be safe from early encounters, right?); on Castle, medium (or play pre-generated maps for Castle and Jebus, then everything is fast);
- neutral morale disabled;
- the upgraded stack for neutrals can be left as is (since you can already see it on the map), but it's better to disable it;
- bank, tax disabled;
- scrolls replaced with gold;
- guild rebuilding enabled (although it can be disabled);
- unit experience disabled;
- classes disabled;
- naval artifacts disabled;
- 2nd level from the start for everyone;
- chupacabra banned, I'm willing to argue about the cloak, I would leave it...
- of course, chess clock without stopping in battles;
- regarding the spells Vision and View Earth/Air – I don't think it's critical, I personally don't care, I would leave them in the guilds to make it easier to find the opponent, which is the same – in general, to speed up the game...

I think that covers all the important settings.
