Sigh...I wish we would just simply play the game rather than be talking about it.

Maybe we should just first play it and then see if such rules can adapt to it, rather than the other way around.

Noob boxes always incite discontent among the people, for the Player can always use such trick to win even that he has lost all his cav and archers, regardless of that what the opponent will do.

About the maps then maybe the Players can just simply agree it with themselves to turn each to the other direction, like by fighting from right to left rather than from rear to front of the starting map.
