First Snow

There is no greater roulette in nature than the same old Jebus Cross )
Whoever takes the center becomes a master of sport, and the time and quality of reaching the center depends 90% on the deal.

And M-maps don't have such a variance in the deal as - xxxxxxx, and on M-maps skill matters more than on - ххххххх well you get it :).
Sorry if I hurt your Jebus Cross feelings :)

Imagine talking so much trash about the most normal template among those that exist (not perfect, who's arguing, but second only to Mirror, which I haven't had a chance to play yet)! And you don't care that in fact templates with "personal" treasure zones, like SM and these beloved M-maps of yours - are already nonsense. The center (well, the conventionally richest zone) must be General if the template claims to be balanced - and this is not up for discussion. Take what's yours there (i.e., initially general!:cool: ), while simultaneously fearing your opponent and preventing them from taking it - that right there is skill, fun, and whatever else you want! That's one thing. Furthermore, regarding the deal in starting zones, let's use basic probability theory: conventionally take two decks of cards - on an M-map let's say 10 cards, among which are a couple of kings and various low cards; on Jebus - 36 cards from 6s to aces - now calculate for yourselves the probability in the first case that one person ends up with total trash while the other gets both kings, and in the second case it's the same: one without high cards, the other with everything - if dealt equally;). And generally, start playing serious games on SoD, friends - and then stop complaining about a disbalanced Jebus etc.; of course, when you're dealt blocks on captain hats and cartographers, while in Dragon Utopia they give out major bags/relics and winged boots - of course, it's Jebus's fault, but SoD is still true and same-sex for the broken:D !..
