Regarding the 8x8 template, everyone has offered some valid points, and it's hard to say that anyone is fundamentally wrong. As for how the template came about, there were several online drafts that were quite poor, but roughly 60-70% of them provided a decent gameplay experience. By the way, "Briva" made some adjustments, and it became even better.
Personally, I really like the idea behind the template, and if there aren't any harsh blocking situations at the start, it's a pleasure to play. Besides, Facebook-style gameplay gets tiresome by the second week. This template simply offers a different mindset. A fighter with "Oil" is definitely a strong choice.
I completely disagree about the Capitol. It's extremely difficult to even build a Municipality, while a Prefecture is definitely needed. Yes, you develop slowly here, and it's true that progress is somewhat uneven, and venturing into the map requires preparation. However, the ubiquitous strong guards add variety to our endless battles against various minor guards. I believe that this template has successfully diversified the existing options.
However, I would still prefer to play this template in tournaments after reviewing the judge's assessment to ensure there are no locking situations within the starting zones.
