Hello everyone!
I've created a template here. :-)
I haven't touched the zone contents; the changes only affect the transitions. More on that below.
Diagram:
Changes: The transition from zone 1 to zone 2 has been removed, and consequently, there is no more Guardian Tower there. Now there are two Guardian Towers, one located between zones 1 and 4, and the other between zones 2 and 8.
The goal of this template is to eliminate restarts caused by encounters on this template and to make passing through the Guardian Towers mandatory. In other words, the game will now be noticeably longer.
Unfortunately, the imbalance in the paths has not been fixed; I couldn't come up with anything. After 50 generations, I didn't find anything that could interfere with the game, so I ask you to test it.
And yes, of course, it no longer quite resembles any of the three standard maps, since there is no transition from 1 to 2. I thought about it and decided that, in principle, the Guardian Towers are broken through so rarely that either you have to get lucky with the starting resources, or the game will last at least a month. Therefore, a perfectly logical assumption is that everyone gets an equal start.
The only problem is that each player can go to, let's say, another player's treasure. Therefore, I suggest removing the transitions from 3 to 4 and from 8 to 9. What do you think? And maybe then something will change with the paths...
