Maybe we could try switching the SoD group to a chess timer? )
7+3+1 as an option?

This is too big of a change to implement mid-tournament. Besides, the development is recent, meaning it hasn't been thoroughly tested, and there might be some bugs.

Here, even HDmod isn't listed as a required version.

Also, the latest HDmods don't include TE hotkeys, so personally, I'll be playing on 2.98.

In general, I played on Diamond, as I promised imkhan: a poor, unbalanced parody of Spider! :D The same huge number of roads for one and almost none for the other :) The only questionable plus, besides (the undeniable - connectivity...), is that the timer doesn't allow you to fully utilize "chocolate" strategies, and losses in battles and on the map are inevitable :)

No one promised balance on the L size, but you're wrong about the roads; the balance regarding roads is much better here than on most other maps, and much better than on Spider.

You're right about the timer.
