The time has come and so... drumroll... the qualifying tournament for FB-8 is declared open :smile44:

I. Regulations and Deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using the "Swiss" system

Start of the tournament: April 1, 2014; registration until March 29, 2014 inclusive

Time limit per round: 2 weeks - technical losses will be assigned without regard to opinions or authority (the sole exception is CIS-14 in Minsk)
Players have the right to arrange a convenient time among themselves, but if an agreement cannot be reached, the critical time for playing is the night from Saturday to Sunday of the first week. (if the game was not completed in one session, then during the second week). In case one player fails to show up at the set time, the other must write to the organizer or one of the judges, and when the tech result is assigned, this will be the main argument.
This clause is not subject to discussion.

7 players advance to the final stage.

II. Rules and Templates.

1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0); by mutual agreement, WT or any other version of HOMM3.

3.The template for each round will be determined as follows - during registration, each participant must indicate 5 favorite templates; from all these templates, 9 will be selected (depending on the number of participants and the number of rounds, respectively). Then the selected templates are randomly "shuffled" and a list is compiled (e.g., 1-2sm4d3, 2-mininoszta, 3-Jebus Cross, 4-skirmish, etc.). In the 1st round, players ban templates that "came up" under numbers 1, 2, 3 (i.e., banning occurs from 2sm4d3, mininoszta, and Jebus Cross). In the next round, banning occurs from templates 2, 3, 4 (mininoszta, Jebus Cross, skirmish), etc. In the last 7th (9th) round, banning will occur from templates 7 (9), 1, 2. Red starts the ban

4. Town selection: standard ban. Blue starts the ban. Colors are determined during the draw and do not change with restarts.

A win awards 1 point, a draw 0.5, a loss 0.
The winners, and accordingly those who qualify for FB, will be 7 people.
The winner is determined by the total number of points scored. In case of a tie in points, additional tiebreakers apply.
1) Buchholz Coefficient
2) Head-to-head result

III. Organizational Matters
1. The tournament is official and regular.
2. The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for Organizing, Conducting, and Participating in Tournaments.
3. Tournament Host: zloi_romantic (296524052)
Tournament Judges: Pit for LM (471401475), Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873).
4. For each game played, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. Saves of all games must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented at the first request of the tournament hosts or any AC member.
6. Regarding controversial issues, if any arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve them, contact the host or a tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
The judges' decision is made primarily based on the tournament rules. If the situation that arises is not regulated by the rules, then the judges will be guided by basic logic and gaming ethics.
7. All tournament games count towards the season rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread and will be copied to the "Game Reports and Confirmations Online" thread. I.e., there is NO need to duplicate reports in the seasonal thread.
8. The final part of the tournament will be held using a round-robin system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other gaming resources are invited to the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are allowed (applications will be considered on an individual basis).
3. Newly registered players are not allowed to participate in the tournament (exception: active players from other gaming resources; applications will be considered on an individual basis).
4. Players who have a BWP are not eligible to participate in the tournament. If any player is awarded a BWP during the tournament, they will be disqualified and their results annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who have repeatedly "ditched" tournaments may be rejected.
6. The organizers reserve the right to refuse a user participation in the tournament without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. The Winner and 2nd-3rd place finishers of the FB-7 tournament are NOT allowed to participate in the qualifiers.
8. The tournament application must include:
- 5 most favorite templates
- convenient time for playing

9. Players Gomunguls, Aya, Maretti advance to FB-8 without a qualifier, while players Piterius and LeBron have a bonus of a byeslot for 1 round (if, of course, they wish to participate)

The randomizer arranged the templates as follows
1-2sm4d3
2-Spider
3-skirmish (played according to OFB rules, i.e., with a town ban and no color change, but by mutual agreement you can play according to seasonal rules, i.e., allrandom)
4-6lm10a
5-JC
6-8mm6a
7-anarchy
8-diamond
9-Mini nostalgia

Thus, in the 1st round Red starts the ban from templates - 2sm4d3, Spider, skirmish
In the 2nd round, the ban proceeds from templates Spider, skirmish, 6lm10a
In all rounds, Red starts the template ban

I repeat for everyone - if you have a problem with your opponent (cannot find a common time, being ignored, etc.), write to me on ICQ - we will sort it out

I took all the rests and got a double, but the opponent didn't rest. In the end, on week 1 day 1.2, I hit a road block to the computer (10-19 gr. of ponies, treasure zone guard) and turned around, rushed into the adjacent zone with my home corner, dug up boots and peppers there, killed the computer on the second week, ate up in the treasure zone. Tazar leveled up perfectly. In the end, from two utopias I got stats, on the third one I got a key and a shard. I flew around, fought a bit. Ultimately, almost on the last move, I caught the opponent's main hero, and on the next turn I caught up with the frog hero on the road in a village — followed by surrender.
Thanks for the game!
3 Griffin Conservatories I had, which gave 5 Angels in total and decent money, though there was an inconvenient block, but I didn't rest. In the end, on week 2 I took the opponent's town as planned. But who knew that his treasure zone on the secondary hero would turn out to be the tastiest piece on the map.
Thanks for the game

We both had one restart left. I got a double and Gosha appeared, so how could I restart now? My opponent's hero appeared in the Moandor tavern for a while, and the game began. On day 115, I took a secondary hero and left Aislin with the remnants of the army in the Castle. On my turn, the computer attacked and killed the entire army and Aislin. Luckily, the computer didn't stay in the Castle but ran along the road. I placed horses in my main town and, on the next turn, used the chain spell to return the secondary hero from an army of 1 horse. The resource distribution was extremely poor, so I lost the game without building any Castles, but the double was enough. Also, I had 2 external monasteries and 1 crusader camp. On the third week, Kirr invaded the center and took my town. Her stats were higher, but looking at the armies, I saw that I was slightly ahead. I decided to clear out two corner resource nodes and, starting from the fourth week, I didn't send any heroes to those nodes. At the beginning of the second month, I could have attacked the entire army at the resource node, but instead, I decided to kill Kirr first, and I was one move short of reaching the resource node. The tavern constantly showed that my kingdom's army power was higher, so I ran around peacefully looking for items. Since my opponent's stats were higher and he had the Air book, he gathered his entire army and moved towards me. That's when the situation with the army power changed in the tavern, and I had to worry a lot. Fortunately, I got a teleport spell in the Global Map. I teleported Gosha out of the dungeon, gathered the army scattered around the resource nodes, upgraded the crusaders and griffins, and waited for my opponent in the Castle. But my opponent didn't attack the Castle; he went further into the center and stopped near my town. On my turn, I attacked him. The stats were equal, and the armies were roughly equal too, but I had the Cloak of Negation, which ultimately helped me win. Thanks for the game.

The resource distribution was extremely poor, so I lost the game without building any Castles, but the double was enough. Also, I had 2 external heroes: monks and 1 crusader. On the third week, Kirr invaded the center and took my town. Her stats were higher, but I saw that her army was slightly behind. I decided to clear two corner resource nodes and, starting from the fourth week, I didn't send any heroes to those nodes. At the beginning of the second month, I could have attacked the entire army at the resource node, but instead, I decided to kill Kirr first, and I was one move short of reaching the resource node. The tavern constantly showed that my kingdom's army power was higher, so I moved around safely, looking for treasures. Since the opponent's stats were higher and she had the Air book, she gathered her entire army and moved towards me. At that moment, the situation with army power changed in the tavern, and I had to worry a lot. Fortunately, I got a teleport in the Global Map. I used the resource node to train Gosha in the prison, gathered the army scattered around the resource nodes in one turn, upgraded the crusaders and griffins, and waited for the opponent in the Castle. But the opponent didn't attack the Castle; she went further into the center and stopped near my town. On my turn, I attacked her. The stats were equal, and the armies were roughly equal, but I had the Cloak of Resistance, which helped me in the end. Thanks for the game.
After two restarts, I got a minimally playable start (a necromancer in the tavern), but the long distances didn't allow me to play properly – it took 4-5 days to travel to the resource nodes. Almost all the spaces between the nodes were snow and desert, and the terrain was uneven – even with flight from a scroll, it took a long time to get around. On day 13, when I reached the opponent, the troops were separated by 2-3 days of travel. I didn't attack with half my forces, although Kairi had slightly fewer troops than Galtran + 500 lightning damage. In the end, I didn't take into account the stables and the log and got caught off guard, losing my main hero. I spent a week digging for him – but found nothing. And the necromancer, without logistics, could barely move. In the final battle, without combat skills, he lost to Galtran with the Anti-Wisdom cloak – the monks and archers from two Castles and my growth left in the Castles for two weeks made a difference. Although, in general, I played thoughtlessly and couldn't coordinate forces over such distances

He lost early on turn 114.
Thanks for the game.
Actually, he lost earlier. He only surrendered when he realized that his units weren't performing well on the first map.
Thanks for the game.

I got a decent start with an ogre dwelling and enough money. Hack got armor and air. Found a conflux late in week 1 and decided to take it in week 2. It was full, and I lost almost all my army, but the next turn, my opponent suicided into his conflux, so it didn't matter. Thanks for the game.
I had a Necromancer's cloak with 111, but I couldn't find any Necromancers during the entire game. I had a Moon Elf, but twice in a row, it cast Bloodlust instead of Wall of Fire – that's great. And to top it off, I was so upset that I couldn't break 90 swords with an archer with expert marksmanship, 10% bow skill, 40 marks, and single-digit vivacity (I don't know where they came from). I decided not to bother.

Thanks for the game!

We restarted, the draw was good, I have gold, an external dwelling for units. On the second day, I completed a quest for 10 mages, which helped a lot in the war. I was leveling Kyrre and Edussa, but Kyrre took the wrong scholar ( At the start, Hell bought himself out without an army, and I still had one left. Then linear heroes appeared in the center. Dragon Utopias alternated with Griffin Conservatories. Over 2 days, I eat 4 Dragon Utopias, they give control. They didn't give stats, but I ate 2 universities. In the end, I fly to Hell and take the towns - things are still very bad there - thanks for the game.

Restarted, draw was good, there is gold, external dwelling for units. On day two I completed a quest for 10 mages, which helped a lot in the war. Leveled Kyrre and Edssa, but Kyrre took the wrong Scholar ( :( ). At the start, Hell bought himself out without an army on week 3, I still had mine left. Then linear heroes appeared in the center. Dragon Utopias alternated with Griffin Conservatories. In 2 days I eat 4 Dragon Utopias, they give control. They didn't give stats, but I ate 2 universities.

Confirmed, I fell for the moon, and there the roads take a week to the center, the opponent has 2 days, didn't get first week on the bird, was inferior in meat, there was a small chance, but I guessed the direction wrong, thanks for the game.

It happened. I built 10 Archons and an unknown number of Vivs on my map by week 4, and had "full control" from week 3.
Thanks for the game.
