Posts from Useful information: templates, maps.

A line with a mark in the middle represents a transition with a passage guard. It can only be opened after visiting both locations connected by the transition.
Several lines represent a multi-transition (several transitions, each of which can be one of three types: 0 - normal with a guard, wide, and border guard).

I decided to have some fun and made a comparison of the random map templates in the turn-based strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and chess openings (my associations): :smile03:

2sm4d3 - Spanish Game, Berlin Wall, Scandinavian Defense, Dutch Defense.

So, are there any chess opening and Heroes template experts here who can appreciate this fantasy? :smile04:

A chess opening defines the initial development strategy, and a template in Heroes does the same – this is a very important feature, because depending on the KNOWLEDGE of a particular Heroes template, the correct, corresponding strategy for playing on that template depends! In open openings, as well as in FAST-PACED templates (balance, Jebus, cube), it is very important to enter the treasure as quickly as possible, or, in chess terms, to control the center...))) But there are also CLOSED templates, such as 8xm8, which corresponds to CLOSED chess openings accordingly)):smile20:

Kostya, could you please add Skirmish to the first post? Is it possible?
Every time I have to click around and can't find it, it's an endless "browsing and searching." It's inconvenient.
The overall structure is clear, but having the generation options and rules readily available would be very helpful.
