Start the game. From Custom Realms menu pick "Skirmish mod". You need to set 2 players and I recommend far distance for more reliable map generation. When in game follow the tutorial to setting up your first battle. The in-game menus are event based - in case you mistakenly close one, you can always reopen it through scripted Game Control strategic spells.

1. Resetting the game is currently unable to clean up heroes. Workaround: Be a sport about it and don't bring more heroes to the battle than agreed.

1. Add configuration option to choose the terrain and structure to serve as battlefield
2. Add a control spell to teleport all player units to the battlefield
3. Draft mode
4. Add option to build multiple Affinity Province Improvements
5. Add option to cast Age Of Affinity spells

The mod tosses most of the game economy out of the window. It should easily accomodate additional race and world traits, though compatibility with mods that grant additional Tomes will require some mod-by-mod additional work (details TBD).
