Quite the opposite!
The goal was to make SoD playable on any template, including HL+U. In this campaign, both Tiamath and Wulm ended up on one-sided maps in games against me, which led to them being immediately discarded as unusable templates in subsequent games.
Personally, I believe that restructuring the GM is the most important factor, even more important than necromancy and monoliths. However, I've come to the conclusion that for playing on HL templates, there is VT, and the rest can be played quite well on SoD.
