Bay of Destiny

That's the whole point: Orcs are in a less advantageous position for cooperative play, but a human player (I played as Orcs myself) will quickly adapt. You have Gotai and Kurak – if you alternate giving them troops from the capital and taking the growth from their cities, they will crush the Dwarves and Humans in about two weeks, as they don't expand their territories very quickly. So, it all depends on your skills. Try playing as an Elf or a Demon – it won't be hardcore, but it will be a rather interesting match. If two players want to test their experience and skills, they should play as factions from different worlds – a kind of war between the Dungeon and the Overworld, because otherwise the game will quickly lose its meaning. In general, thank you for the comments. And while I remember:
should I remove the Magistrates in the cities and replace them with something smaller – a Town Hall or an Elder's House in the cities on the map?
