Diamond
This is a rich template full of variation. Every player has 4 lightly guarded passages to treasure zones, and players’ treasure zones are separated by AI zones. Treasure zones may have unguarded small treasures, like piles of gold, but also the most valuable rewards, like Relics. The template has a lot of villages on it, and the road network allows quite a lot of variation in gameplay, from early contact to suspended endgame.
