Kostya, what is this nitpicking? The rules don't say that you have to sit and skip turns to buy creatures! You have 5 Air Elementals and 8 Water Elementals left, which is clearly less than half of the starting army!
And if there were 90 Archers, would you say to wait for the Fire Elementals to be bought? And so on.

or if a romantic is playing against Jebus, then it's essentially a dead game, and frankly, you have a 0.000(1) chance of winning in that situation.

What does the starting army have to do with it?

Regarding the blockade, I agree with Hell; if there was someone more formidable, then tech-resisting could be considered, but archers are still quite easily overcome, especially without Guardian Spirits.

Tem, why are you being so categorical? Did you watch the save?

A heavy layout is when Cons and Dragon Fly Hives are not delivered, but when there are such blocks on the only road, like I had on mm6 (a tray of gr. Wyvern, if I'm not mistaken..) or Romantic had on Jebus Cross, then it's essentially a dead layout and your chances of pulling it off, hand on heart, are 0.000(1) over time. Sometimes it's better to surrender and not torture yourself.
Well, since the others are silent, it means they think everything is fine and correct in these rules. As they say, I wish everyone who agreed or stayed silent more of these pleasant, "playable" layouts!...:D :D :D And take care of your restarts! :D

Let's consider a scenario where there are 100+ archers with Ground Strike. What then? Hell and Jurist would already consider this a technical exploit. But Dirty still wouldn't. And what if you bypass it in 5 days instead of 3? What if it takes a week? Still no? Is it not a restart? :rolleyes:

1.5. Restart due to a strong block, up to turn 112 inclusive.
A block is a strong defense of something that cannot be destroyed without catastrophic losses in a specific game.
The restart is initiated at the discretion of the player who owns the block if it is impossible to bypass the block, which cuts off the Castle from the main part of the starting zone, leaving no opportunity for development up to the block.

1.4. Restart at the player's request if the only road leads to the Guardian Order (for the 2SM4d(3), Jebus cross, Balance, Nostalgia templates). It is initiated on the day this fact is discovered, but no later than turn 115.

For example, the only road is blocked, and it leads to the Guardian Outpost (GO). There's a detour through the wilderness that takes 5 days, and around turn 117, we rush to the GO along the only road, but is that fair? :smile53:

Since it is impossible to achieve absolute accuracy in the formulation, I will provide a few examples of typical blocks and non-blocks.

It's interesting to consider how to interpret situations where you don't get a great start and face a lot of Ifrit Sultans, which are often difficult to defeat without losses (for some reason, there are always more of them than regular Nags, which seems very fair). In theory, this is also a bad situation.

What is there to argue about, according to the letter of the law it's correct — there is an avoidance, so it is played, no complaints to Kostya, the other thing is that perhaps the letter of the law itself should be changed.
PS/I myself voted, in general, to simply remove such a concept as tech rest by block.
