[ANNOUNCEMENT] Heroes 3: World Tournament - an add-on for tournament games.

Isn't that like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole?

Well, who knows... the significance of a gold rebate heavily depends on the template. For instance, Swamp feels perfectly comfortable even with a large rebate; on Jebus Cross, you can have a 10K rebate and not lose much pace.

But a timer-based rebate has a more consistent effect. Swamp, starting at say 500+500, almost certainly loses a day, sometimes even two. Additionally, it levels the playing field in terms of starting positions—you simply may not have enough time to capitalize on a rich layout.
