We invite you to take part in the qualifying tournament for the main online tournament of the year, FB-11 :smile03:

I. Regulations and Deadlines

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

The tournament starts on July 28 at 21-00; the draw is at 20-30 on the Dirty_Player channel. Registration is open until the start of the draw.

The time limit for one round is 2 weeks — this time, awards and techs will be issued without delay. Thus, draws for subsequent rounds will begin on time!!
Players must agree on a common game time themselves; judges will base their decisions on the attempts and desire of both players to play. In case of extreme stubbornness from both participants, a mutual tech-loss will follow, so I recommend contacting your opponent immediately after the draw to reach an agreement. If no one can agree at all, keep the judges informed; in exceptional cases involving a language barrier, an ODD may be appointed. If one of the players fails to appear at the scheduled time, the second player must write to the organizer or judge, and this will be the primary argument when issuing a tech result.

OFB will consist of 9 rounds; preliminarily, 5 players advance to the final part, but under certain circumstances (such as tie-breaking for places, a player who reserved a spot in FB withdrawing, etc.), the lead organizer has the right to expand this list. (Having the right does not mean they necessarily will — for the particularly meticulous demagogues :) )

The organizer reserves the right to change and supplement these regulations. If the AC adopts any changes to the rules after the start of the tournament, they will automatically come into force in this tournament starting from the round following the current one. (Changes will not apply to games already in progress)

Attention all participants! Anyone who has unconfirmed reports 1 week old or older at the time the tournament starts will not be admitted — registration will be denied. Please check current tournaments and the season for debts here: http://heroes3stat.tk/unconfirmed/

II. Rules and Templates.

upd. 12.08.17: two tech-losses result in the participant's disqualification from the tournament and a likely miss of the next tournament.
upd. 04.08.17 0. Rebuilding is allowed and must be enabled on all templates. Regarding the library by default — it is allowed only in the starting tower. Anyone who started a game under other rules finishes according to them. From the second round, these rules apply by default
1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0)+latest HD-mod+HeroesWorld Rules 1.38, connect via hamachi (if it doesn't work, then TeamViewer). By mutual agreement: WT, HotA, or any other HOMM3 version, even WoG :D
3. Template selection. I believe a good player should be able to play on any template, so different templates will be played in the tournament, most likely all 9: :smile03: The list is as follows: h3dm1, mt-diamond, anarchy L+U 160% trade, skirmish M-U 200% all random, Jebus cross, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, 8xm12a, and Spider. The distribution by rounds will be random for greater interest. :)
4. Castle selection. Randomizer + trade. Regeneration of a pair of castles is permitted for 500 coins. The blue player first states their desire/lack of desire to keep the current pair. Then comes the same-color trade.
5. Rules for playing on h3dm1 and mt-diamond (computer castles are random). Read carefully before starting the game. By default, these specific rules will apply.
a). Timer 21+8-30+1-15. It is permitted to pass by shifted guards onto any lands. Only medium roads. Trading. First, the castle is determined. Each participant has the right to ban one castle before generation. The blue player first states their desire/lack of desire to ban a castle, after which in HW-Rulz mode, those castles are banned and the random 1-castle generator is launched. The game will be played with this castle.
b). Trading also occurs for color and the right to choose the hero (therefore red-rush is allowed). Each player has the right to cross out 1 hero before the trade for them begins (they may waive this right), then trading for the hero occurs (when starting with Conflux, we trade just as we do for other castles), followed by trading for color. If a banned hero arrives at tavern 111 of any player with troops — auto-restart. The rule breaker gets a tech-loss. The hero must be declared to the opponent immediately after generation (for slowpokes :D within 10 seconds after start)
c). There is 1 subjective restart and objective restarts (restart due to block (inability to leave the castle) or a severe generation bug) — this is discussed between players; if no consensus is reached, the player has the right to save and contact the judges once (this applies to all templates), but please do not abuse this right as it drags out games. Objective restarts are taken no later than 112.
d). It is forbidden to steal anything other than resources and chests by passing shifted guards, or to visit objects (except mills for resources and gold, as well as boosters for increasing movement points) that do not have their own internal guard.
e). The main rule — game ethics and respectful treatment of the opponent. For violation of this rule, including on streams, sanctions against the violating player are possible, up to a ban from the tournament.
7. Skirmish is played m200 according to standard rules:

/topic/10593/

Additions: restarts total two days. Who starts red first is determined by a coin toss. Roads 1-2 (slow and medium). Players have the right to change rules by mutual agreement, except for the template being played.
Coin rule: The player who wins the draw has the right to choose the starting color in the first generation. For this, the HW Rules "Flip a Coin" option is used; the one who guesses the resulting number has the right to choose the starting color.
8. Before the round deadline, the winning player must write a report, and the loser must confirm it — those who fail to follow this rule are not admitted to the draw for the next round!
9. 3 points are given for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss.
Winners are determined by the number of points earned. In case of equal points, additional indicators apply:
1) Buchholz coefficient
2) Head-to-head match
10. In the last two rounds, draws are forbidden at the players' request!!!

11. Roads for templates:
Jebus cross - only fast
skirmish - slow and medium
Mirror and Mirror-Diamond - only medium
Anarchy - all roads
HL+U - only medium


12. On all templates, using the grail digging acceleration bug is forbidden.

III. Organizational Issues
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 Lead — KobRa icq#(286406830), skype#(kobrarr),
whatsapp, viber, telegram (number in PM)
Tournament Judge and Co-Lead Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873)
Assistants — we'll manage on our own.
4. For each played game, participants must submit a report and confirmation
5. Saves of all games must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented upon first request by the tournament leads or any member of the AC.
6. Disputed points, if any arise, please discuss outside the forum, in PMs. For a resolution, you must contact the Lead or Tournament Judge via ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information. An appeal against the Judge's decision can and should be submitted to the AC, rather than starting a flame war in the thread — it will be immediately deleted and penalty points will be assigned.
7. All tournament games go into the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread.
8. The final part of the tournament will be held using a round-robin (or group) system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other game resources are invited to the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are permitted (applications will be considered on an individual basis).
3. Recently registered players are not admitted to the tournament (exception — active players from other game resources; applications will be considered on an individual basis).
4. Players with a "Black Mark" (ЧМЧ) have no right to participate in the tournament. If any player is given a Black Mark during the tournament, they will be disqualified and their results annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who have repeatedly "blown off" tournaments may be rejected.
6. The organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without public explanation of reasons.
7. The Winner and 2nd-3rd place finishers of the FB-10 tournament are NOT admitted to the qualifiers (Gomunguls, Amster, LuckyF)

Everything was fine at the beginning, but it turned out there was only one road and the opponent was already running right at the exit of it. I collected hives and found 2 Dragon Utopia in a nearby treasure zone; I gathered quite a few ducks and took them easily, which gave me stats and an air book. The game was moving along, but the opponent decided to surrender.
Thanks for the game.
I confirm.
I played the 1st week well, took out the computer, a couple of secondary sites, and found a consulate for 1 angel. But from the second week, stupidity and a series of mistakes began.
Thanks for the game!

Good start, 3 Necropolises were visible nearby, a stable, and an Elven Tower. I built up to 8 heroes and also cleared a swamp nearby by the end of the first week. Then, with 40 Elves, I went into a Dungeon, farmed there, and decided to retreat because there was a lot of trouble ahead, but a Town Portal was set up in the city. Next, with 2 heroes – Kirr and Vokial – I followed the strategy of capturing a town, devouring everything nearby, and moving on. In the 3rd week, the opponent arrived, captured a Castle, and for some reason left ducks there without a hero and meat, then left. I took advantage of this, teleported Kirr from another Dungeon, gave meat to Isre, captured the Castle, and then Vokial caught up with Shiva, killed one Archmage instantly, and he didn't buy the other two, probably because he didn't have enough money, so he ran away. Then I explored Dungeons, looking for a Utopia and collecting gold objects. On day 143, the opponent surrendered. As the analysis showed, neither I nor the opponent had seen a single Utopia. Thanks for the game!

A good start: 3 crypts were visible nearby, a stable, and an elf cache. I ramped up to 8 heroes; also, by the end of week 1, I cleared the same-side swamp. Then, with 40 elves, I entered the treasure zone, farmed there, and decided to retreat because some garbage appeared, while Town Portal was cast in the city. Next, using 2 heroes—Kirr and Vokial—I followed a strategy of capturing the village-town, consuming everything nearby, and moving forward. On week 3, the opponent arrived, captured the Castle, and for some reason left ducks without a hero and fodder there before leaving. I took advantage of this: Kirr teleported from another treasure zone, gave fodder to Isra, and captured the Castle; then Vokial caught up with Shiva, killed one archangel instantly—the opponent didn't buy back two of them, likely due to lack of funds—and fled. After that, I scoured treasure zones looking for the Dragon Utopia and took gold objects. The opponent surrendered on 143. As the post-game analysis showed, neither I nor the opponent had seen a single same-side Dragon Utopia.

Thanks for the game!

At the time of surrender, my main hero had SP1. 1, Karl. Thanks for the game!

At the time of surrender, my main hero had SP1. Seriously. Thanks for the game!

I'm definitely withdrawing from the tournament now. Playing these ridiculous templates in a SOD with a long timer, waiting for opponents to waste time until the long timer runs out, has become completely unbearable.
Well, nothing new, just the usual rant after losing to a lower-level player)) PS Lizard, buddy, no hard feelings)))

A map with a less favorable starting position, but abundant resources. Starting in the second week, I began building a Magic Guild in Castle. Obtaining the spells Recall and Fly changed the course of the game. After taking two Dragon Fortresses, I acquired valuable artifacts like ALL3, 5, and 6. I then launched an offensive against my opponent. While my opponent had a larger army, their economy and overall strength were significantly behind, and they gradually lost all their territories.

I couldn't coordinate a game with my opponent for a long time due to the 7-hour time difference. Thanks for the game.

Rich map, nice roads, Gunnar, Stables, flux AI, 1 con. This is what I saw in week 1; early in week 2, I went to eliminate the green castle AI. My opponent showed up with 1 angel, but he surrendered immediately. After this, I took the con with a mass slow spell and split my army between Kyrre and Gunnar. For the rest of the week, I captured more towns, including the tan and pink AIs. Early in week 3, my opponent appeared with Grindan and flying units, trying to slow me down, but without teleport and a good army, he couldn't hold the towns for long and lost Grindan in one of the scout fights. Meanwhile, I entered a treasure, took a tope, and got +4 to all stats from it; in the Rampart guild, I got DD+TP (teleport on the 2nd try). I developed Sephinroth and Loynis as secondary mains. Early in week 4, my opponent gave up because he didn't have many options left.
Thank you for the game!

I sold the Rampart for 4500 and bought a color for 700; as it turned out, the roads were worse than my opponent's. It was my first time playing this template, so it was difficult to assess the situation. At the start, I got a lot of Gogs, two roads, and my home town, so I ended up with 40 Magogs. The only problem was that I didn't have a good hero, so I started leveling up Ciel. I saw that my opponent also had Gunnar, but I decided to play anyway.
In the first week, I took the Companion Tower and put Efreet in the Citadel. Thanks to the external market, I had a lot of money. In the second week, I took the con level 1, defended against the Boots of Speed, and met my opponent – I bought him off with an angel. Since I didn't have any other directions to go, I went into the treasure and started building the Guild Master. At the beginning of the third week, with flying units from the Guild Master, I took a village and the main town from my opponent. My opponent started taking back his town with a lurker and a devourer. In the battle, my Grindan had a large advantage in mana and magic, but my opponent had a large, unkillable stack of dwarves. However, I had an advantage in speed and good terrain. Expecting that my opponent would eventually have to buy his way out, I made a mistake and forgot about the Ring of Cold, which my opponent used to kill my last 2 flying units. As a result, I lost Grindan with flying units, the Boots of Speed, and good stats. In essence, this was already the key moment, because after that, my opponent's tempo was significantly higher, and I no longer had a chance.
After the game, it turned out that my opponent had a good start – good roads, stables everywhere, good stats for two logistics heroes, and he was lucky with the Guild Master, getting DD on the first try and teleport on the first rebuild. In general, I had almost no chance.
Thank you for the game

On the 1st bird in the citadel, on the 2nd bird, he also had a computer and a teleportation portal at home. Das was leveling up perfectly; he even wanted to take air elementals himself in the last slot to save me 2k. Thanks for the game.
