A THREAD FOR NEWCOMERS!

1. Are there any templates without teleports?

If you want absolutely no teleports, the first thing that comes to mind is Jebus Cross. But this is not a good example :D because it leads to Jebus Cross addiction :D :D

2. Are there any decent templates for single-player mode? I tried the built-in generator and several tournament templates – at 160%, they are too easy and uninteresting. At 200%, you usually spend a week or two locked in with one hero, then the computer arrives and kills you, or you have to hide further in your Castle. At 200%, you can only develop on rare maps.

The strength of the AI does not change depending on the template. If you want more difficulty, try 8x8. But there, the difficulties will be less about the AI and more about the map itself, as difficult blocks are often generated.

What's the point of playing against the AI anyway? It’s just a dumb set of scripts.

//I don't know of any specific ones for playing against the AI

3. Is it possible to enable an option that shows whether external dwellings and mercenary camps have been visited this week by right-clicking them, like in all other locations?

This is not available in SoD.

5. Which rules are correct?

For online games, these are the relevant rules:

6. If I read the first link correctly, "hero eco-farming" is allowed, isn't it? That's almost cheating.

Offline games are different. Speedrunning games. Games against the AI, but people measure the results ("who kills faster") among themselves. This is practically an extinct type of game today.
