Perhaps something needs to be changed in the tournament scheme to add interest and dynamism.
Or maybe nothing should be changed at all, and we should play according to established rules.
However, the idea of having a different selection of templates for the game is worth exploring.
Competition on XL-sized maps attracts players with the opportunity to experiment with the map and the variety of possible developments and strategies. And the well-known and declared XL templates for the tournament – 8mm6a, 8xm12a, 6LM10a, 8xm8a, Spider – are quite well-tested and do not present any particular problems for players when choosing directions.
To make this more challenging and demonstrate skill in orientation, the following options are offered, which are reflected in the corresponding poll:
- when playing without a template list:
1. Play with the rmg.txt file containing all signed but only regulated (the name of the template will be visible in the starting description of the scenario - see the picture in the red rectangle) templates.
2. The same option, but play with the rmg.txt file containing all unsigned (the template name will NOT be visible in the starting description) templates.
In addition, for greater variability
3. Add one incognita (unknown) template from those that have not been used before in tournaments to this list (and there are some, and they are quite playable).
And accordingly then
- when playing with a template list:
4. Add a sixth template as an equal member of the existing list of regulated ones under the name random XL, which will actually be this new set of templates in the rmg.txt file. This means that six templates participate in the selection – 8mm6a, 8xm12a, 6LM10a, 8xm8a, Spider, random XL.
Options for answers are allowed – yes and no, to smooth out the range of opinions. That is, these are the first eight points in the poll.
And, of course, options for choosing castles are also being discussed.
5. Random pair + trade for castle choice
6. Castle choice by drawing lots
7. Random castle choice with color change after subjective restart
===========
Important!
The vote allows multiple selections.
You need to choose items 1 or 2, 3 or 4, 5 or 6, 7 or 8 - regarding templates.
And items 9 or 10 or 11 - regarding cities.
