Notes.
Simplifying the rules allows novice players to gradually adapt to the game without overloading them with unnecessary information. From now on you will not be punished for applying common sense, if you have Fly or DD, why can’t you skip the border guard? Prohibited because it's customary - it's bad game design. All rules must be implemented within the game itself. Unfortunately this cannot be done with rule FF242 at the moment, so it remains unchanged.
Hota online rules are now available on the h3templates website, here. They have been edited specifically for one-hero templates, to make them more compact and readable.
