Posts from Discussion of the Mirror Jebus rules. Auto-translated

I was denied regarding the timer in a private message, so I'm writing in the general topic for discussion. I, Lizard, a player who won one of the crazy blitz tournaments with 8+4+1 and has played over 30 matches on mirror Jebus so far, propose setting a timer for the mirror Jebus tournament: 24+9+2. In games with Hellight and Gomunguls (players who are far from the slowest, faster perhaps only than FTS, Dark, and Jurist), even the standard Jebus timer of 24+8.30+1.30 almost always reaches 122-123 in the zero phase, and this is with very good and active gameplay, without hesitation about "which cell on the map should I place the hut in to collect resources better." In general, solely for the purpose of improving the quality of the tournament: 24+9+2. Please don't move this to the tribune; this is an important and fundamental issue.

2. Remove prisons from the treasure generation. This can be done in the template editor right now.

3. Ban Alamar, Miriam, and Beatrice.

Not much time has passed since Lizard, discussing blitz, said there is some meaning/enjoyment/skill/value in doing not what you are best at, but rather correctly prioritizing in the given circumstances.
But now Jebus Cross mirror has come out (IMHO also the best thing currently in Heroes in terms of combining dynamism and competitive play), and now even Lizard advocates for a timer that allows for quality play in Heroes, rather than "prioritizing in the circumstances created by Vicq".

Regarding prisons – according to Lizard, the main complaint about them is that well-placed prisons create an imbalance in resource distribution, favoring red (to the point where "blue appears, and is immediately captured"), while the absence of prisons or poorly placed prisons favors blue.

I don't know how relevant this problem is; we need the opinion of the players.

The advantages of prisons include a significant increase in the game's dynamics; you don't have to trudge to all the castles yourself, and there's also the spectacle – a complex move involving clearing a large part of the map through a chain of prisons looks very impressive.

Overall, my opinion is neutral, so a simple majority of votes from the participants will be sufficient.

Regarding Miriam, Beatrice, and Alamar, the situation is much more complex... the fact is that banning the listed heroes won't fix the hero imbalance in the tavern, so the conversation might continue with "what about Tazar," "what about Craig Hack," and "what about Grindan," etc. That is, somewhere we'll have to stop, so it's important to develop a criterion – what distinguishes an overpowered hero from a hero who is just slightly stronger than the others.

In my opinion, the criterion for being overpowered should be the demoralizing effect of "damn... the opponent has Jeremy, with 117 attack." I've seen this happen many times with already banned heroes (Logistics-Luna-Jeremy), and it was actually the reason for their ban.

Is there such an effect when it comes to Miriam, Beatrice, and Alamar... I highly doubt it.

That is, my opinion on this is pessimistic, but I am willing to listen to the players' opinions on this issue, but only if more than 2/3 of the votes are in favor of a ban.
