How can you even compare it to the Stronghold? After reading it, I thought, "half-baked" (in terms of richness), and after playing a few generations, it's immediately clear that there's nothing in common. First, it would be good to find individual, DISTINCT differences for all templates and "warn" players. Second, each template should be "tested" by a certain number of participants. Suggesting it for a tournament is fun, but not serious! Tournaments turn into mass starts, and their value decreases.
Everything should be different...
P.S. I also don't remember any mass re-matches, although we played at 160%.
