I actually agree with Timur; it's very silly to give the option to choose a template and then force players to place their city according to the chosen template. This is a significant advantage, but the advantage of the red color is debatable. Statistics are useless in this case, as there is a large skill gap between opponents in most of the early rounds.
I agree; it's much more enjoyable to play as blue: you get to choose the template, the castle, and the layout is easier to manage. However, everyone is on equal footing – today it's red, tomorrow it's blue.
