Hey, roads, dust, and fog.

I vote for fast maps only, everywhere. Striving for balance in SoD (or HotA) is basically absurd. The only more or less balanced case in the history of Heroes 3 is a mirror x3dm1 full-VT with custom creature banks. In the case of SoD (or HotA), it makes sense to strive only for the speed of matches and entertainment for viewers.

p.s. Artem, please correct the topic title. It should be x3, roads... A great song.

I'm for fast maps everywhere, except for m200. Cool stories about the balance of medium maps. Balance at the expense of fun is not right. It's more fun to play on fast maps; if you want perfect balance, play Starcraft.
