XL+U templates are confusing tedious dreary crap.
I recently played with an opponent VT-8mm6a on a 600+300 limit. I captured the opponent's capital, and the opponent's neighboring former computer castle. I have more troops. But catching them is problematic because of the map size and the opponent having Dimension Door, Town Portal, and Fly. In the end, we ran around for a long time, I got tired of it, and we agreed to a draw. So, I was disappointed in large maps :), but I still play sometimes :).
If by the fourth week you don't have 3-4 folders, 2 or more built-up towns, the mage guild isn't built, and the entire war is happening on one front, then it's hard to disagree with such statements
