Not really hidden, you killed my sorcerer with master illusionist. Or let's say I gave you a really good opportunity to kill him and you took your chance.

Yeap, it looks like you should I think to set 2-3 days turn timer will be enough. If Aris won't appear after 3 skipped turns, you'll kick him out.

I'll try to contact him through the game email message, but I think it won't help

As for me, I think the best option for a map type is Lands, not Continents.

And it looks like that number of entrances depends on water or diggable/undiggable walls sliders (or from combination of all 3 of them)

I'm curious how much entrances on your side of the map with such big land territory))

Yeap, sliders on default seems to be on 50%)) And 50% of the map with water on Continents map - is too big. It seems that continents will be big islands)) So that for tourney settings sliders were reduced (see here: last tourney settings). I hope you will consider that for your future games 

Because Aristo definitely will need a revanche, even if our team will win this match  , to show us his best game what he can play 

Hi, I belive that I made same settings as at screen shots from this game: https://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=actgames&actid=1285&pos=20. 

I for sure didn`t change slider between water amount and so on, since there wasn`t screen shot for that so these options are on default.
