After grumbling and complaining about the attempts to "kill" the Necropolis of Goshana (Galtran, for those unfamiliar with the slang), I felt a bit ashamed (because it's always easier to criticize...) and decided to ask other Heroes players to participate together in solving the problem.
Specifically, we are discussing:
This topic is created for:
- discussing ways to achieve the tournament goals (goals - see below)
- discussing the tournament format (deadlines, what system, what to play on, etc.)
- for preliminary applications
I suggest that in this topic, we first write in the format of a brainstorming session (that is, first we offer everything that "comes to mind," we are not afraid to let our minds run wild, one head is good, but many are even better), and then we will start to filter, and I will try to lead the discussion...
So,
Goals of the Goshana Fan-Test-Tournament...:
1. Developing changes and additions to the Heroes rules regarding the Necropolis (in particular, Goshana) - so that it is normal to play with it and against it, so that it remains in the game without "castration."
2. Testing the changes and additions from point 1 in real games.
3. Analyzing the results of the tournament, developing recommendations for those who make decisions on changes to the rules (this point, if possible).
What is given:
1. Heroes rules (with the exception of changes regarding the Necropolis)
2. The Smoka template (I understand everything, I know all the objections :) - but most games in the season are played on it, and we are collecting material specifically for the season rules...)
3. The duration of one round is no more than 10 days
The rest - we will discuss...
For a better understanding, I suggest an excerpt from my post:
although I would suggest (and I can suggest a lot) - to play only with the blue Goshana (and/or the player playing Goshana has only one resurrection and/or the player playing against Goshana can level up forbidden heroes and/or some other bonuses for the opponent).
To start the discussion, here are some options (I haven't thought about them much yet):
-if Player 1 chooses the Necropolis during the draft, then Player 2 chooses any castle and color (regardless of the draft results) and has resources 111 and 113, while Player 1 has only one resource 111
-I suggest playing two games in each round (for and against Goshana)
-allow playing against Goshana with Mullich (mages of level 4 without restrictions on building)
-who can offer more?))
