Basic
Specifications
- Basic is all about keeping things as close to the original game as possible. Meaning that almost all Heroes, spells and artifacts are available on this template, most objects are random (except Dwellings in the biome) however there won't be many Creature Banks like you usually see on the standard templates like JC, they were made intentionally rare to facilitate bigger variety of viable units.
- Available in various sizes - from M to G+U (M for 2 players, L, XL and Islands XH+U for up to 4 players, H and Islands G+U for up to 8 players). 8 Hero format can be downloaded separately, it adds the ability to hire Heroes and the Prisons can spawn on the map.
- L+U, XL+U, H+U, XH+U and G+U versions all have small underground zones, which contain 3 control scrolls (Fly, DD, TP), they can be accessed via monolith or an underground passage. The value of entrance guards is 18k.
- Gold, Experience and Spell boxes in the biome are limited and some redundant boxes are disabled. Quests can only give T7 units.
- High value boxes in the main treasure zone always give all spells (55000 value each).
- Diplomacy effectiveness is reduced to 25% joining in the middle zone (except versions with Islands).
- To select Islands versions: first you need to set Water content to Islands, then pick XH or G size and light up the underground level button (rightmost in the map size selection). Unlike regular versions, Islands don't have a rich middle zone, instead there's large sea with many Utopia-like objects.
