Duel is a template designed for 1 Hero gameplay. The addition of 3 guaranteed control scrolls in the starting zone gives players more freedom of movement and negates some aspects of randomness in the game, like bad roads and obstacles.

TEMPLATE RULES
Recommended settings. Chill timer: 2 / 1:30 / 0:30. Competitive timer: 2 / 1:10 / 0:20.
> Fast roads only (rightmost option), water content - none, monster strength - strong, difficulty - 160%.
> Simultaneous turns 127, tournament rules - enabled, protected saves - enabled.
Restart 1x111. The Red player must be the first to say whether he keeps (+) or restarts (111). The Blue player can end the turn and wait until Red makes his decision. Road block restarts are not allowed.
If you have no restart and you're missing control scrolls, or you have less than 2 Schools of Magic in the Home Bunker - you can ask for technical restart. If your opponent asks for a proof, then you must present it.
In order to gain access to all external zones on the map, one of Border Guards (the ones that guard entrance to the middle zone) must be defeated or joined. It is not permitted to use Dimension Door (or Fly) to jump over the Border Guard, unless it is aimed in a way that instantly initiates the fight with it. If you see that your biome is missing one of Border Guards, due to another player's actions, in that case you also gain full access to the map.
Retreating or surrendering during the battle with your opponent is against the rules. Doing so, means you lost the game and must admit defeat.
"Poorman's TP" is allowed. You can retreat from a fight with neutral guards and buy back your Hero in a tavern.
FF242 (Final Fight on month 2 week 4 day 2). Whoever controls the central desert town by the end of this turn - wins the game. Winning the fight with only the summoned units left on the battlefield also counts as a victory.
No Draws. The player who deals the finishing blow in a final fight wins the game (reflected damage from the spells like Fire Shield and Magic Mirror also counts as a last hit dealt by the player who casted these spells).
T+ specific rules.
Players are allowed to hire one additional Hero at the start of the game and take his army. However at the end of turn 111, one of the two Heroes must be removed. Buying more than 1 Hero is strictly forbidden.
Players can choose any of the three available Heroes (1 they started with and 2 in the tavern) as their main Hero that they want to keep.
Competitive timer: 3 / 1:10 / 0:20.
Restarts 2x111.
