I'm not even ready to prove this to you. Simply because 1) I don't have the opportunity to play 2) I don't have extensive experience with SoD-Jebus, Maretti clearly plays this template better than I do.

Moreover, the experience of tournaments like "Shakti vs Gunnar" shows that a series of games proves little. Gunnar won back then, but who was convinced of anything by that?

Studying the balance of factions should be done differently — a tournament like "Castle vs Necro on Jebus" should be created, with colors assigned in each round, for example, in round 1 red Castle vs blue Necro, in round 2 the opposite, and so on. Opponents swap colors (and accordingly factions) after each restart. This is to compare the factions themselves, not the skill of their proponents. Then, based on the results of several dozen games and player surveys, more or less adequate conclusions can be drawn.

Drop your demon tournament, set up a castle vs necro on Jebus! :smile13:

I'm not even going to bother proving it to you.

Phew. Well, if he's not even willing to prove anything to me, then your words are meaningless.

I'll drop everything right now and start proving it to you:cool:

Dude, open your eyes.

Thank you for the game.

The way balance between factions is studied needs to be changed – a tournament should be created, something like "Castle vs. Necropolis on Jebel," where in each round, the colors are specified, for example, in the 1st round, red Castle vs. blue Necropolis, in the 2nd round, the opposite, and so on. Opponents switch colors (and, accordingly, factions) after each restart. This is to compare the factions themselves, and not the skill of their players. Based on the results of several dozen games and player surveys, it will be possible to draw more or less adequate conclusions.

Played well, the third or fourth Necromancer arrives, who immediately becomes an expert on level 111. Slowly gathered gold, didn't rush. On levels 121-123, I took 3 cons with chain links, totaling 6 angels. Galtran - air expert, offense, armor, Necromancer. Went to the computer. On his turn, the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game.
The analysis showed that a cheeky computer-tower stole boots from the passage zone a day before my arrival, otherwise, Gosh would have been even faster.

It won't be Castle vs Necro on Jebus, but Castle vs NegroGosha on Jebus. And those are two very different things. Even if we consider Necro = NegroGosha, it still won't be a direct comparison of towns. Not infrequently, Gosha is played as a main hero for other towns (especially where there's no terrain penalty). Also, in the original version of the template, the necro dwellings and the necro center were nerfed. That would have been a plus for Necro, but not a significant one.
Comparing these towns on Jebus, I would immediately focus on level 7 units. How easy is it to pick up an external angel or dragon dwelling on day 1-2, and what dividends will that bring? Can both be built up without issues, and how does an angel compare to a bony, or an archangel to a spectral? What's the overall useful speed of units in MP? And let's compare the offensive power of both towns, for example, against a horde of Efreet Sultans, which often appear on GO... where it turns out that skeletons without Goshan are far from what you'd want. From my experience... you'd have to try really hard to lose as Castle with more or less equal spreads, and even with a slight advantage for the opponent. I considered Citadel to be a more or less real competitor, especially from the combination of easy and fast building of the mighty gray ones, and of course the notorious Crag Hack :)

According to HeroesWorld rules on Jebus Cross, you can start with Gosh, so that's the variant we're considering.

What bone dragons are you talking about? Here you don't even always need to build cavalry. Transformer, booster, and go-go power-stack skeletons,

Excuse me, what kind of external dwelling are you talking about? Since when is it allowed?:confused:
