The template name comes from the fact that the map in the template (Serbia Strategic) has a different bonus system shown by the insets on the right. This template has bonuses changed, so those insets on this template mean the OPPOSITE of what they normally would be. I also added a small change where bonuses with 3 cities only are worth +5 per turn, for a little spice.
The name of the template also comes from the changed kill rates, which are FLIPPED. This gives the template more emphasis on attacking, rather than playing defensive, which means it's a good idea to get a quick jump start on income and not take cities at the start.
The wastelands are there to act as small hills mainly to make players aware of the kill rates if they didn't read the settings, and not so much as to deter taking a bonus. This means that the wastelands can actually give players insight about the game as a whole and not just for bonuses' sake.
The reinforcement cards are common in this template because of the kill rates, since the need for attacking armies is higher. The reconnaissance cards are here so that players can see if the opponent has taken cities early or not, or simply to get an idea of where they are for some extra spice.
