First Snow

As an observer:
It seems that most people ignored the explanation of the main idea of the tournament:

0. In this tournament, all games are played with the Tower Castle.
The goals of the tournament:
...
2. To increase interest in the Tower Castle

That is, you need to play specifically as Tower heroes, with Tower troops, with all the features (and difficulties) of developing this race! This tournament aims to determine how well someone can play as the Tower. Your Cap.:)

In my opinion, for this purpose, it would be better to use a specially selected template or even a ready-made map where all cities will be Towers. Otherwise, there will be what has already been suggested here: switching to Necromancer / Swamp and so on. And it will be like in the recently presented report by Maretti, when he was playing as the Castle with Galthran, and the outcome of the final battle was decided by skeletons!:)
