regarding a more favorable starting position, in my opinion, that's a misconception. It's simply like in chess – it's about having the first move and an extra turn.

No, the layout for Red is indeed generally better on many templates.

On SM-ca (SM), there are generally more roads and slightly more respawns.

8mm6 is generally asymmetrical in favor of Red - the center is closer and the distant computers are closer. That's why 8mm6a is played now, which has a symmetrical structure; there is no statistics yet on the quality of the distributions, as it has only recently started being played.

On Jebus Cross, the distributions are generally the same, but the factor of the first move when eating the center decides - at the moment of meeting, Red can collect more goodies. However, in this case, the advantage of restarts compensates for it, imho.

On Mini-Nostalgia, the distributions are generally the same, there is no first move advantage, so Blue is preferable in my opinion.

Regarding Balance and Panic, I have no personal statistics, but based on general considerations, I assume the same factor with roads and respawn size applies as on SM-ca (SM).

For other XL+U templates, there is little statistics, so I won't venture to judge.

Dear experts!))) Noob question: is it possible to scout a Utopia without sending a weak unit there? I mean, like with Cons or Gnomes: enter - exit. The number is always the same, 5-9.

Focus on the black ones. If there are 5-9 black ones, go for the maximum, but if the total number is 20-49 and there are only 1-4 black ones, go for the third option.

dear experts!))) a noob question: is it possible to check a Dragon Utopia without sending a patsy there? i.e. like a Griffin Conservatory or a dwarf dwelling: go in - go out. The amount always shows the same 5-9(

yes, the most critical ones (3 and 4) are determined unambiguously

after entering the Dragon Utopia, the status bar at the bottom shows that there is a lot of creatures (>20) there. At the same time, by right-clicking on the Utopia itself, you will see on the screen that the maxed ones all have severeal (5-9), while the third tier greys have few (1-4)

in the min and second tier, right-clicking shows the same, but the status bar says that there is a pack of creatures (up to 20)

Wow! I didn't know about the status bar. This is a useful tip!

Yes, and until now, I could only distinguish the maximum value from the rest. Thanks, wowa.

and if the total number is 20-49, and the number of black creatures is 1-4, then it's a tier 3.

valuable detail, I overlooked it, thanks :)

on Jebus Cross, swamp is preferable to Conflux

Conflux on Jebus Cross is a very mediocre town both in HotA and in SoD
while swamp is imbalanced in both))

Among the bourgeoisie, panic over these two towns (Conflux-Necro) was simply banned.
Beautiful.

Check out YouTube and see how Maretti (their leader) takes a level 5 Miner and clears the maximum difficulty offensive scenario in Conflux. You might learn something. And banning Necropolis in balanced games is definitely the right decision.

You should check out YouTube and see how Maretti (their leader) takes a level 5 Miner with maxed-out offensive skills to clear the Crypt of the Dead in Conflux. You might learn something. And I definitely think banning Necropolis in the balance is the right decision.

There are quite a few Heroes videos on YouTube!!!
It's not hard to find them, but there aren't many with high-quality gameplay.

Please provide the link.

I was also interested, and I found this:
