Posts from Amendment to rule #3: Choosing colors and castles.

Or like this: first, a standard map, the opponent takes, for example, a Castle, and you are left with the choice between a Tower and Inferno. If you don't want to play as either of those, you take a full random (lol). Hoping for Necropolis or something else. Well, this is just as an experiment, so to speak.

I suggest changing the following point:
3. Choosing colors and castles

Instead of: The player who starts drawing first chooses a castle from the three remaining, the second player chooses from the two remaining and the color they want to play with.
change to: The player who starts drawing first chooses a castle from the three remaining, the second player also chooses from the three remaining and the color they want to play with. In this case, if the second player chooses the same castle, then the first player chooses a hero first. Or, by mutual agreement, choose heroes randomly.

That is, I suggest leaving the possibility to play with the same castles.
I would be glad to hear your opinion, friends.

Seems okay, but on the small map size, if I'm not mistaken, it often generates buggy maps with identical castles.

Absolutely against it. Those who want to play with identical castles should agree among themselves. For example, I don't want to, only as an experiment sometimes, depending on my mood. But there's no need to include this in the rules. Here's an example: We're playing with Sam, he goes first and chooses Rampart. Many know that he's more likely to take Ivora than Kirra (and it's not just him). Then I say, "Oops!" and take Rampart. He has two options: give me the red Kirra (which is advantageous, in my opinion) or take it himself (which is unusual), something he definitely didn't expect, even though he went first! And if we want to, we can still play Kirra-Ivora with him, Pirri-Mariussa with Spirit, and Merist-Dragon with Kostya, just like yesterday :D

Revolutionaries, I tell you!

Seems okay, but on the map editor, if I'm not mistaken, it often generates buggy maps with identical castles:( ...

I carefully tested it and didn't notice any major bugs. As always, the blue faction has fewer roads and a higher chance of ending up underground. They're used to it ;)
Just because Sam doesn't like playing as Knight doesn't mean he'll lose.

The idea is interesting, Seryoga, but ever since I started playing my favorite game, I immediately disliked playing with the same type of Castle. IMHO, it's boring. True, I might be the only one on our forum who feels this way.

I respect the author of the topic, but I don't like playing with identical castles.

I respect the author of this topic.

If I'm being honest, I enjoy playing with any faction, any color, any hero, on any map. Actually, it's not that I *love* it, but I'm *good* at it!
