Unfortunately, the game didn't happen, it was a one-sided stomp. Already in the first week I had 35 Beholders and 150+ Troglodytes, with two dragon chests. Plus, the exits from our respawns generated right next to each other, a buggy map overall.
Thanks for the game!

Valenka's game didn't go well even when he was drawing templates... to be able to win against Jeb in a Rampart-Necropolis pairing, you really have to be determined :)

I thought Rampart was strong everywhere. But what faction can effectively counter Necropolis on Jebus?

IMHO nobody. Goshans from the start is such an advantage for Necro that it's better not to risk it.

And definitely not Rampart, because it's a running town, not a brawling one; it needs operational space. Also, the 7th level is hard to build. Therefore, on Jebus, Rampart is somewhere in the middle of the list, if not at the bottom.

This is relevant for HotA. In SoD, Ramp is fine on Jebus Cross. Not as tempo-oriented as Necro, but in SoD on Jebus Cross an overly tempo-oriented game is more of a downside than an upside.

In my opinion, no one. From the start, Goshan gives Necropolis such an advantage that it's better not to risk it.

And definitely not with Rampart, because it's a fast-building castle, not a meat grinder; it needs operational space. And level 7 is difficult to build. Therefore, on Jebel, Rampart is somewhere in the middle of the list, if not at the bottom.

Tell that to Maretti, he without any trouble consistently comes out with 10+ Archangels at the start of month two, and the later he comes out the more Archangels he has and the higher their stats ))

I thought ramp dominates everywhere. What faction is good to come out as against Necropolis on Jebus Cross?

What do Rampart and Archi have to do with it?

In my opinion, by no one.

And what’s the swamp’s strength? Is it the 75% movement penalty and the lack of an external market? :)

Rubbish, I wrote correctly, indicating that Castle with equal distribution is no worse than Necro on Jebus... and from this we can conclude that it only makes sense to play Castle against Necro on Jebus Cross.
