FACTION CHOICE by mutual agreement of the players (if agreement is not reached, the players contact any currently available judge, the judge chooses the option by drawing lots):
- random, followed by each player choosing a starting hero at their own discretion, any claims from players regarding other players' compliance with this rule provision are not accepted by the judges;
- standard ban using the 1-2-...-2-1 scheme from the full list for each game. Each player has their own list of factions: Haven, Sylvan, Dungeon, Stronghold, Academy, Fortress, Inferno, Necropolis. The blue player starts the ban. They ban 1 faction for themselves or their opponent. Then the red player during the ban can: either ban 2 factions for themselves or their opponent, or ban 1 faction for themselves and 1 for their opponent. After that, the blue player during the ban can: either ban 2 factions for themselves or their opponent, or ban 1 faction for themselves and 1 for their opponent. On the final ban, one of the players bans 1 faction for themselves or their opponent. That is, the ban scheme is: 1-2-2-...-2-1, where the specified number is the number of factions being banned: for oneself, for the opponent, or for both simultaneously, but the total (across both players) does not exceed the specified number. As a result of all actions during the ban, each player should have 1 faction left. Those are the factions you will play. After this, each player chooses a starting hero at their own discretion, any claims from players regarding other players' compliance with this rule provision are not accepted by the judges.
