The idea is not bad, but the format with two versions is boring. It is necessary to add a GM rebuild to SOD, and then it would be possible to play.
I remember a game on 8mm 33+ some day (almost 4 months), the entire map was cleared, 7 GMs were built, 5 of them were Towers with a library. (at the same time, all Cyclops were eaten), a huge number of Mermaids were eaten, a HUGE army!!! Legion statue + several native castles and stolen Bears + portals from 3-4 dungeons, but DD was never found... which led to the opponent's victory, he managed to run further in one turn...
So, if SOD + GM rebuild, then VT can be forgotten:D
that is, one-way paths on 8x12 do not bother you at all? :)
If there is an opportunity to get Flight or DD when rebuilding the GM, then there is no tension at all!!! Moreover, there is always a second way out, and one-way paths only force you to change direction.
Recently, I played with an opponent VT-8mm6a with a limit of 600+300. I captured the opponent's capital, and the neighboring former computer castle of the opponent. I have more troops. But it is problematic to catch him due to the size of the map and the presence of DD, TP, and Flight in the opponent. As a result, we ran around for a long time, I got tired and agreed to a draw. Therefore, I was disappointed in large maps :), but I still play sometimes:).
I don't even want to comment on SOD with one-way paths, so, IMHO, only VT.
SOD players are afraid of experience, taxes, and classes like fire)
