By the way, the presence of a known template layout IMHO rather spoils the game, making it more predictable. Ideally, one would play on templates like Anarchy, where the layout is unknown in advance.

*by the way, I noticed a mistake; it says that stables cannot be generated in the same zone, but I often had 2 stables in a row =)*

FireToSky

is there any information about how many monsters should guard something?

I can't understand why it's believed that the template scheme is unknown on Anarchy.
There are 12 templates in total. In 2 of them, there are 3 painted castles, and in one template they are adjacent, while in the other they are the opposite.
Next comes the difference in the strength of the passage guards, 6000 or 3000. There is either ГО or not.
If a template hasn't been determined yet, it is usually identified after penetrating a neighboring respawn, just like on 8mm6 you figure out where a given road leads.

When I played 2 games in the EliminationChamber tournament on Anarchy, I already knew which template I was playing on after 3-4 days.

It seems that this doesn't happen in the campaign – stables and wells are always limited to one. In new and recently edited old templates, duplication occurs quite often. It remains to be assumed that modern template creators are "to blame."



It seems that no one doubts anymore that everything is tied to the ratio of the value of the protected objects and the protecting monsters. You can see the values here: http://dreamcatcher.metroland.ru/templates/index.html
The problem is that, in addition to the actual ratio of values, coefficients (which Vic, I think, calculated) must also be applied to calculate the number of monsters, and the result is quite variable. In my opinion, it is more convenient to gain personal experience and use it.

These values don't really help me in practice. Personal experience is useful, but there isn't that much of it, and even with it, you don't always guess correctly. And how to apply these values to the specific defense of an object is even more unclear to me :confused:

On SM, I think this doesn't happen - stables and wells are always no more than one.

No, not at all.

I saw it with my own eyes, specifically on an SM — two merged stables in a row.
