can't you set a normal one?.....
why not SoD? for the same reason. We're speeding up the game. For those not in the know, a 2v2 match at best lasts about 6 hours, and on average stretches to a full 12, I don't think many players can afford that much time.
Also, based on the experience of past tournaments, none of these aspects spoil the game at all; instead of classic matches, we get a mega-driven game with ГО breakthroughs on 1 and skirmishes in the center, plus team moves, which is what it's all about.
As for the choice of towns, we thought about it for a long time and arrived at this original model) I even considered a more radical option, but for now we decided to organize without fanaticism :D this issue, by the way, is open - make suggestions)
