No. You can buy 2 skills at the start. And in the bonuses, Prayer costs as much as 2 skills – it’s very overpowered.

Updated the arena – minor fixes.

I will try to hold the draw in the morning or closer to lunchtime.

Before the game, warn me. To avoid problems with lost videos, controversial situations, and so on.

THE ARENA HAS BEEN UPDATED

I suggest adding the map version number in a prominent location so that it is easy to identify when creating a game, ensuring that it is indeed the latest version.

The current version of the Arena is 1.002 (this is stated in the map description).
This is how you can check the host's version.

I’ll sign up if there are still spots available.

I can add you to the lower bracket. The draw for the upper bracket has already taken place (although someone might withdraw).

The current version of the arena is 1.003

It would be good to include a list of changes.

Yes. I would really like to see the list of changes.

The army balance has been slightly adjusted – it’s not a significant change (the specific numbers are listed in the header). Some units received additional spells as Pandora bonuses (the spells are listed in the bonus descriptions in the header).

That’s exactly the kind of information that’s interesting – how the army balance has been changed. Whether the changes are significant or insignificant, I believe that the players have a better understanding.
They sometimes calculate everything down to the smallest details that the creator of the game situation didn’t even think about.
And the closer we get to the decisive stages of the tournament, the more important the details will become.
I think that a clear list of changes should be provided, if possible. This is a common practice for any software.
Only the players, based on their own experience in the games, will be able to make the final decision about what was significant and what was not.

Latest changes on the arena:

The following bonuses have been added to Pandora's boxes (see numbers):
6 - curse, air lightning
24 - destroy undead, wave of death
25 - inferno, fireball, ring of cold
26 - bloodlust, frenzy
27 - mines, quicksand

Army balance changes:
+2 djinn
+2 golem
-2 Lords of the Abyss
-30 imps
+2 ogre

Arena updated - v. 1.006: army balance tweaked (see the list of armies in the tournament Shak).

Also made an alternative version of the arena. It is optional. And only for those pairs who find it better. Main differences:
- Artifacts are fixed and purchased one at a time for different prices (100, 200, 300 wood - 500 available)
- The army is chosen as mixed (a unit of any level is taken from any Castle). This provides more variety in choosing a strategy for the game.
- More starting skills to choose from upon purchase (+healing, artillery, luck, leadership)
- Uncheck the HeroesWorld rules
- Elemental summons, explosion, and Armageddon are present.
- You must take a minimum of 3 stacks from the race you are playing when choosing.
