6 times in the Dungeon, and in the last one, only one direction was free, the other 3 were blocked. 100 Gogs on day 121 defeated me.

The opponent had a poor map; they suicided in the second week.

Please register me for the tournament.

On turn 132, the opponent violated rule 2.7.3 by using the spell “Spatial Gate” to move close to two Pandoras and capture them without eliminating the guards, after which he killed the guards.

Thank you for playing.

Thank you for the game.

Good start, 2 native units, then a Panda came. Built Dwarves and Master Gremlins in the Citadel, on 121 took Griffin Conservatory 1, then two Dragon Fly Hives, first the max one, where I flooded with Angel :(, and then 6. Next I went to another underground, where I thought the opponent was, but he wasn't there, took Griffin Conservatory 4 there by flooding it all and 2 upgraded Dwarves. On the 3rd week I started taking Dragon Fly Hives, first took 3 by flooding a lot of swamp meat, but the Dwarves and Angels survived. Gave КЗ and two junk artifacts. Then took the second, the max one, there gave 3 out of 4 for the Titan set. Regenerated mana and charged at the opponent. The opponent had a normal army, but without stats and magic. No chance against explosions + I had bracers.

Thank you for the game!

On turn 132, the opponent violated rule 2.7.3 - using the "Spatial Gate" spell, he approached two Pandora boxes and took them without eliminating the guards, after which he killed the guards.

Jebus, center map. I receive damage-dealing units from the Pandora box. Everything is according to the rules. Next, I teleport to another location, separated from it by a rock wall. After teleporting, I find myself behind the manticores guarding the two boxes. I have 13 Archangels, an army, skills, and mass slow. That is, I can easily kill the manticores without any losses. It's 4 a.m., and I automatically take the boxes first, then immediately attack the manticores and kill them. The boxes would have had no influence on this battle; they contained 15 Rukh birds and 15 Cyclops. The opponent says that I am violating the rules. I immediately realized that there was no intention to violate them. I offer him to load the turn so that I can make it in full compliance with the rules. He refuses, saying that he wants to record a loss for me because the rules are the rules, and he doesn't want to load the turn. He believes this is fair. I believe this is an abuse of the rules because there was a random event that had no impact on our situation, and we can easily load and replay, especially since I make moves quickly.

Two out of three tournament judges, whom we contacted (Redwhait and Zloy Romantik), stated that the controversial turn should be replayed.
The opponent did not heed the judges' opinion.
I strongly disagree with his position.

Jebus Cross, center. I get a Dimension Door from a Pandora's box. Everything is by the rules. Then I teleport to another point, separated from it by a rock wall. After the teleport, I end up behind manticores guarding two boxes. I have 13 archangels, an army, skills, mass slow. In other words, I can easily kill the manticores without losses. It's 4 AM, and on autopilot, I take the boxes first, then immediately attack the manticores and kill them. The boxes would have had no influence on this battle; they dropped 15 roc birds and 15 cyclops. The opponent says that I am breaking the rules. I realized it immediately; there was no intention to break them. I suggest he reload the turn so that I can make it in full accordance with the rules. He refuses, saying he wants to give me a tech loss because rules are rules, and he doesn't want to reload the turn. He believes this is fair. I believe this is an abuse of the rules, as it was a case that had no influence on our position, and we could easily reload and replay, especially since I make my moves quickly.

Two out of three tournament judges we appealed to (Redwhait and Злой романтик) stated that the disputed move should be replayed here.
The opponent did not listen to the judges' opinion.
I categorically disagree with his position.

Correction—I said that in spirit I would allow a replay or just ignore it, and I think 99% of other same-game players would too, but by the letter of the rules—this is a tech loss and the opp has the right not to continue and file a report. Another thing is who needs such victories, but that's how it is...
P.S.—in AK most also said that this is a tech.

Correction – I said that, in spirit, I would allow a replay or just ignore it and move on, and I think 99% of other Heroes players would do the same, but according to the rules – this is a technical loss, and the opponent has the right not to continue and file a report. It's another matter whether anyone needs such victories, but that's beside the point...
P.S. – most people in the administration also said that this is a technical issue.

You can allow a replay if the opponent accidentally broke the rules and admitted it himself. But when he was caught... it's different.

You can allow a replay if the opponent accidentally broke the rules and confessed. But when they were caught... it's different.

I'll ask that the word "caught" not be used in relation to my case. "Caught" implies secretly doing something and being caught red-handed. I took those two chests, which don't play any role, automatically, without intending to break the rules, and immediately attacked the guard, which didn't pose any danger to me even without the chests.

Out of curiosity, how many people responded in the AK regarding this issue, and how were the votes distributed?
I accept the judges' decision. Thank you for your time.

Just out of curiosity, how many people unsubscribed from the mapmaking contest due to this issue, and how were the votes distributed?

Only Reddit expressed that the spirit is more important than the letter.

Thank you for playing!

Terrible respawn. Block 10-19 monks guarding the prison, small respawn. But hope appeared. Up the rough terrain from the Castle, there were sequentially guarded a Sword +6, Shield +3/+3, Pendant +3all, and Sentinel's Shield. There was also a Griffin Conservatory, which turned out to be a single one. Struggling to gather gold, I got lucky; I was already thinking of building a Market instead of Horses to buy up for the Conservatory, when Kira, whom I sent far up, found an external Market. I took the Conservatory after capturing the Sword +6, and there was a surprise: Ivor got Advanced Logistics and Earth Magic. I decided to level him instead of Gunnar or Kira. Then I chain-gathered 2 more stacks of Horses, and waited for week 121 (Day 1, Month 2, Week 1). On Day 1, I took a chest with Ivor; it contained 5k experience. Then another on Day 2, but there was no experience; instead, there were 35 gr Centaurs. Well, nothing to be done, no more tempo, I had to break through the Minotaurs guarding the Pendant. Thankfully, before leaving, there was a strategic village. On Day 3, I took the Pendant with Gem (she lost only one Unicorn — see what lifesaving Articles can do), chain-gathered the Conservatory right before leaving (it turned out to be a double), and marched out with 27 Elves, 15 Horses, 10 Wives, 3 Angels, and filler. And then a surprise — Ghost Dragons guarding a chest. What to do? Had to attack. I lost all the Wives and 3 Horses there. But it turned out to contain 15 Cyclopes. Then I marched with an army of 3 Angels, 10 Horses, 15 Cyclopes, and 27 gr Elves, took a Hat +6all over gr Waspwasps without losses. At that point, the opponent surrendered.

As the reveal showed, the opponent had an absolutely terrible respawn as well, but he didn't surrender. Thank him for allowing me to play through that horror, although in a normal game I would have marched out and then been wiped out before I could even run back to the Castle.

Thanks for the game!
