Posts from Peter will be offline from November 4th to 6th.

It's been a while since we've had a Heroes gathering in St. Petersburg, and Tamerlan has probably gotten bored too, so I'm thinking we get together at our tried-and-true location http://www.cottagesspb.ru/arenda/rent/vaskelovo.html during the November holidays.
Those who have been there know that looking for anything else is just a waste of time (2 cottages, an excellent sauna, a small pool, billiards, and of course, Tamerlan — our magnificent cook. :smile20:
Regarding the price for accommodation — 4000, this amount includes renting an additional hall, firewood for the fireplace and sauna, and bed linen.
As for the format, the current plan is an Olympic elimination tournament, so people can play proper templates, and not just papal skirmish :)
In short, post, discuss, ask questions.

Format

Tournament start on 04.11, approximate time 17.00
The tournament will be held using the "Olympic system", with 16 participants. 4 rounds. At least 1 round will be played each day; postponing a game to the next day is forbidden. On the 2nd day, it is possible that 2 rounds will be played (this will be decided by a vote among participants; in case of a tie, the tournament organizer has the deciding vote).
Game version: SoD 3.2 (4.0) + latest version of HD mod + HW-Rules 1.38
The template for each round is chosen by elimination from the following list
8mm6a, 6LM10a, h3dm1, anarchy 200%, diamond, 2SM4d(3), Mini-Nostalgia, skirmish (200%), Jebus cross. The right to eliminate a template first is decided by a coin toss. The player who "wins the coin toss" chooses who will eliminate first.
Rebuilding is allowed and must be enabled on all templates. Regarding the library by default — it is only allowed in the starting town

Timer

Due to the tight schedule, the timer will be slightly adjusted
Template 2SM4d(3) — 14:00+05:00+01:00
Templates 8mm6a, 6LM10a — 18:00+06:30+01:15
Template Jebus cross — 20:00+07:00+01:30
Template Mini-Nostalgia — 16:00+06:30+01:15
Template skirmish — 08:00+04:00+01:00
Template Diamond — 16:00+06:30+01:15
Template anarchy 200% — 16:00+06:30+01:15
Template h3dm1 — 18:00+6:30+01:15

List of participants — Zloi, Ive, Falkon, Klaus, Proger, Kaliban, Ospharaon, Hellight, Amilu, Nevrotepichno, Napalm, Redwhite, Zavulon, Helen117, Antal, Lutski.

Hooray! I'm in!

I'll make a final decision closer to the date, but it's highly likely that I'll come, as it's not far away :)

Please register me for the tournament! (I hope I don't get food poisoning from the shawarma on the 3rd in the evening:D)

The weather in St. Petersburg in November is really awful, isn't it? :rolleyes:

Maybe I will. (But it’s not certain yet.)

http://heroes3.tv/tournaments/m200-2016 photos from last year's tournament on these same dates, with snow... it's beautiful ;)

I would come with someone from Moscow, preferably someone who has been there and is going. Also, I need a laptop to rent for the duration of the event.

Usually, quite a few people come from Moscow - DD, Num, Vatya, Vigo and Vigofriend, Bloodlaiker, Preds... this is just off the top of my head...

I might come, if someone from the Heroes of Might and Magic V community joins. But I also need to catch my flight, which departs from Samara on the 7th early in the morning...

Sent a request for vacation time at work. If it's approved, I'll be there.

Come on over!

So, this time the template pool will be manageable, and not just m200?
If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be there.

Let's see, Romchik, if we do go, we'll probably take the train. The road trip last year was exhausting, especially on the way back, with the blizzard and snowstorm, and the roads are still mostly not cleared. It's tough for me to drive with rear-wheel drive, no matter how good a driver I am (
Come join us for a weekend fishing trip. The train tickets from St. Petersburg are cheap now. We can sit around, have a barbecue, fish, play poker, and discuss Vaskelovo for the fall.)
