==Notable Templates==
===Original Template Pack===
This template pack is also known as Default template. It is a template pack that consists of multiple different templates suitable for various map configurations in terms of size and amount of players. Before generation starts, if this pack is used, one template is randomly selected from all the templates corresponding to the selected configuration. Although extensive, this template pack is believed to be not quite optimized for multiplayer sessions.


===Clash of Dragons===
== See also ==
This template is played without any rules, like Anarchy. The most valuable treasure zones have neutral dragon dwellings, while the gameplan is based on joining the guards in these zones using Diplomacy.

===Jebus Cross===
One of the most popular templates overall, due to its simple layout and fast pace. Every player starts on a big, poorly guarded and rich zone with the native terrain. From the starting zone them may enter the extra-rich central zone. To do so, they must defeat strong passage guards. Once got into the central zone, the player starts to accumulate power rapidly, that’s why it’s crucial to get there as soon as possible (even on the first week). This template is not considered well-balanced, because the outcome depends greatly on the starting zones contents.
 
Specifications:
*Map size: XL-U or L-U.
*Content types clarification:
**103 (player zones): content types (300–3000, 14), (5000–16000, 6), (12000–22000, 1).
**610 (central gold zone): content types (10000–25000, 10), (25000–35000, 10), (35000–55000, 3).
*Zones 2–5 have the native terrain of their corresponding town. Zone 1 is always sand.
*Different towns of the same zone are allowed to have different alignments.
*Zones 2–5 are set up symmetrically around the central zone 1.
*Banned hero:
**{{h|Ranloo|0=}}{{-wh}}
*Allowed hero:

*Maximum amount of Taverns, Mineral Springs and Hermit’s Shacks per zone is increased to 3.
*Ancient Lamps are enabled in zones 1–4.
*Special weeks are disabled.
*Combat round limit is 100.

==Mirror Templates==
===h3dm1===
One of the most popular mirror templates. This template follows a simple gameplan: starting zone > secondary town zone > treasure zone. Treasure zones contain rich rewards, but are often small and lack the most valuable treasures, like Relic artifacts. Connection guards are considered difficult on the first week, but starting from the second week they become an easy goal, thus letting players to pass them and get in contact with their opponents. Although, early contact is not guaranteed due to complicated map topology, so players are forced to clear the treasure zones and conduct spell research, as on XL+U maps. This template is considered to be among the most balanced ones.
 
Specifications:
*Map size: L+U.
*Content types clarification:
**58 (player zones and white zones): content types (100–3000, 12), (3000–6000, 6), (10000–15000, 1).
**244 (gold zones): content types (6000–8999, 9), (10000–17000, 9), (17000–20000, 3).
*Mirror template. Underground is generated exactly similar to surface level. Zone content on the surface and in the underground is also the same.
*Zones 1–4 and their mirror copies have the native terrain of their corresponding town. Zones 5–10 and their mirror copies are generated with random terrain.

===mt_Andromeda===
This is a mirror XL+U template, suitable for long and rather contactless games, heavily based on exploration and spell research. Treasure zones are not so rich and cannot contain Relic artifacts. Due to having underground tunnels replaced by fully functional surface layer, this template generates maps effectively bigger than regular XL+U, which is compensated by having obligatory roads for every connection.
 
Specifications:
*Map size: XL+U.
*Content types clarification:
**55 (player zones, AI zones and white zones): content types (500–3000, 9), (3000–6000, 6), (10000–15000, 1).
**133 (silver zones): content types (3000–6000, 9), (10000–15000, 6), (15000–20000, 1).
*Mirror template. Underground is generated exactly similar to surface level. Zone content on the surface and in the Underworld is also the same.
*Player zones and AI zones and have the native terrain of their corresponding town. The rest are generated with random terrain.
*All connections have obligatory roads.

===mt_Antares===
This is a mirror template for early contacts and quick expansion. It is topologically close to mt_Andromeda, but the gameplay differs greatly. Treasure zones are small and not so rich, cannot contain Relic artifacts as well.
 
Specifications:
*Map size: L+U.
*Content types clarification:
**55 (player zones, AI zones and white zones): content types (500–3000, 9), (3000–6000, 6), (10000–15000, 1).

===mt_Diamond===
This template is a mirror variant of Diamond template. Each player has 3 easy passages to the treasure zones on their own level and one difficult passage to the treasure zone on opponent’s level. AI zones are located between the treasure zones. Treasure zones content varies from unguarded gold, as well as some other small rewards, to the objects of immense value, like Relic artifacts. Road network is enhanced, compared to Diamond’s

===mt_Firewalk===
This template is mirror version of Firewalk template and is focused on highly dynamic game. AI and player starting zones contain 3 towns and are very rich, but with some custom rules: 1 dwelling of 7th level and 2 dwellings of 6th level, and Pandora’s boxes with experience, are always present; Dragon Utopias and banks which give creatures in reward are forbidden. The connection to white zone is worth opening soon: there the big piles of gold, banks with gold in reward and a Conflux village can be found. Besides white zone, there are 3 treasure zones present on each layer of template, known as “Creature Bank zone”, “Big Sand zone” and “Dragon Utopia zone”.

*Mirror zones are cross-connected: a portal in an arbitrary zone #X leads to a portal in the copy of another zone #Y (i.e., zone #Y+100), and vice-versa.
