At the numerous requests of the workers ...

The core rules, I believe ...

1) templates - h3dm1 and mt-Diamond

2) Castle - determined by a randomizer; a re-gen can be taken for 500 coins.

Color - determined by bidding.

Starting heroes - red may cross out from 0 to 3 heroes at their discretion, blue chooses a hero first from those remaining, then red chooses second. This makes the pair of starters more balanced than when choosing 1 hero each.

If any banned heroes arrive at the tavern on 111 with troops - restart.

3) For some heroes from taverns and prisons, the following restrictions apply:

Jeremy - upon obtaining advanced Artillery, he cannot use the cannon (must skip its turns).

Luna - upon obtaining advanced Fire, she cannot use Wall.

Kyr, Gunnar, Dessa - upon obtaining advanced Logistics, they cannot use any magic starting from the next day (allowed on the day of acquisition).

If any of the listed heroes are taken as starters, there are no restrictions on them.

4) Timer - 16+8+1:30

5) Restarts - 111

6) Rebuilding is disabled by default, as it rebuilds asymmetrically. It can be enabled by mutual agreement.

Other rules are standard.

7) Tournament format - Swiss system for 6 rounds + play-offs (Olympic bracket for 8 players).

In the Swiss stage, bo1 is played; in the play-offs, bo3.

In odd Swiss rounds (1, 3, 5), h3dm1 is played.

In even Swiss rounds (2, 4, 6), mt-Diamond is played.

In the play-offs, both templates are played according to standard rules. In the third game (if required), the template and color are chosen by the player who placed higher in the Swiss stage.

8) Games go into the rating by default. By mutual agreement, games can be played without rating; in this case, game reports should be posted via the reporting system marked "without rating," which I will later annul.

9) Currently, there is an HVrule bug - campaign heroes are available. We handle them as follows:

- if Gelu/Dragon arrives at the tavern on 111 with troops, then restart
- if Gelu/Dragon arrives at the tavern on 121/131/141 etc. with troops, the blue player's autosave from the previous day should be loaded
- if Gelu/Dragon arrives at the tavern with a single sniper/wizard, they should be dismissed
- if Gelu/Dragon is released from prison, their army should be dismissed; meanwhile, one can demand that the opponent dismisses the army of a hero from the symmetrical prison (various collisions are possible here, we will decide based on the situation)
- Gelu/Dragon's specialization cannot be used

Since I do not know the full scale of the bug, similar restrictions apply to HotA campaign heroes (Bidley, Tark).

If it turns out that Galtran/Sir Mullich can appear, the restrictions for them are the same as for logisticians - Galtran cannot use magic starting from the next day after obtaining advanced Necromancy, and Mullich simply from the next day.

Other campaign heroes are allowed to be used without restrictions.

10) If both heroes died in a battle between players, and both were level 10+ at the time of battle, neither can be bought back. If either of them arrived with troops at the start of the week, the autosave of the previous day should be taken. If both slots in the tavern are occupied by such heroes, also take the autosave.

Tournament start - 24.07.2017

Winner of the previous tournament - HellLight.

I wasn't sure how many skeletons I can collect so I built black knight+citadel, also this made it easier to capture lich dwelling and pick up some resources while Aislinn broke into one of the treasures. Only close objects were one hive and one red tower. I wanted to take this red tower for speed advantage and possibly being able to split army. Luckily it wasn't mini (3 birds) so I gave one to Nagash who cleared another road. Meanwhile Aislinn took 2 cyclop stockpiles and built lvl5 guild + library on 125. On first research lvl4 gave TP which made my development easier. Using scouts I captured some of opponent's towns and stumbled upon his army on scout.
Thanks for playing!

I scouted 3 big treasures, killed stronghold AI and built bears with castle, then took over opponent's treasure that I scouted on my side because I saw gloves, 2 easy hives and +5all on ground. I assumed the 4th treasure that I didnt scout is small, which it was. Still it was better than all the other 3 combined with +6all and blue hat on ground. :confused:
Opponent rushed me to get these 2 artifacts on both sides. I upgraded bears because I had enough money and prepared for topes, I think there were 3 or 4 of them, so I had no reason to visit the last treasure yet. Of course when opp arrived it was already too late, I tried protecting my main town with solmyr and 125 mana since opp army was not that strong. My hope was that he cannot reach the town in this small treasure and I can still clear it, but that didnt happen. On top of all this theodorus armageddon'd me from a shrine.
Thanks for playing!

Very stressful game, especially since I was behind in the first 2 weeks. With split armies, I managed to scout most of the treasures (Pyre with 2 angels and Illor with the rest). I failed to scout the only top-tier item in the last remaining treasure, which was thankfully bad. I spent my resources to upgrade behemoths, so I could start the guild only late in week 2. After picking up an empty box with advanced wisdom and seeing my opponent mostly elsewhere, I decided to go for this box on his side and succeeded. Meanwhile, ramping the guild on the 3rd build gave me Teleportation. Level 5 gave me Dragon Destiny, so I could clear the map more efficiently with Pyre and Sephinroth as side heroes. Slowly but surely, I became stronger, and my opponent didn't see any chances, so he gave up.
Thanks for playing!

Question to the organizers:
How does this rule make any sense? "...in the 3rd game (if required), the template and color are chosen by the player who placed higher in the Swiss rounds."
Why not just play out the 3rd game like normal? Dawidu and I had the same amount of points in qualifying, and because his Buchholz was 0.5 points higher than mine, I automatically lose the red color for no gold bonus at all. It is a huge disadvantage.

For saving leader's motivation in last rounds of swiss stage, for preventing fictive games.

P.S. Why you ask it now, but not at start of tourney ? :)

Fair point. Currently I participate in like 5 tournaments so I did not take the energy to read everything carefully.

I think my point still stands, for this purpose giving option of choosing template would have been more than enough. If there is need for a decisive game in bo3, it is fair to assume the players are probably evenly skilled, I don't see why its necessary to tilt the game in one's favor so much.

Very stressful game, especially since I was behind in the first 2 weeks. With split armies, I managed to scout most of the treasures (Pyre with 2 angels and Illor with the rest). I failed to scout the only tope in the last remaining treasure, which was thankfully bad. I spent my resources to upgrade behemoths, so I could start guild only late week 2. After picking up an empty box with advanced wisdom and seeing my opponent mostly elsewhere, I decided to go for this box on his side and succeeded. Meanwhile, the ramp guild on the 3rd build gave TP. Level 5 gave DD so I could clear the map more efficiently with Pyre and Sephinroth as side heroes. Slowly but surely, I became stronger, and my opponent didn't see any chances, so he gave up.
Thanks for playing!

Question to org:
How does this rule make any sense? "...in the 3rd game (if required), the template and color are chosen by the player who took a higher place in the Swiss system."
Why not just play out the 3rd game like normal? Dawidu and I had the same amount of points in qualifying, and because his Buchholz was 0.5 points higher than mine, I automatically lose the red color for no gold bonus at all. It is a huge disadvantage.

TFP! GL in Final :)

I scouted 3 big treasures, killed stronghold AI and built bears with castle, then took over opponent's treasure that I scouted on my side because I saw gloves, 2 easy hives and +5all on ground. I assumed the 4th treasure that I didnt scout is small, which it was. Still it was better than all the other 3 combined with +6all and blue hat on ground. :confused:
Opponent rushed me to get these 2 artifacts on both sides. I upgraded bears because I had enough money and prepared for topes, I think there were 3 or 4 of them, so I had no reason to visit the last treasure yet. Of course when opp arrived it was already too late, I tried protecting my main town with solmyr and 125 mana since opp army was not that strong. My hope was that he cannot reach the town in this small treasure and I can still clear it, but that didnt happen. On top of all this theodorus armageddon'd me from a shrine.
Thanks for playing!

TFP!

It was a fun match. We initially decided to play a best-of-three, but then, during the match, we decided to play longer because the games were interesting. I'll elaborate on one of them.
A very rich start + dwelling of Vivs. I decided that this was a plus for Red. By the middle of the week, I found dwellings of Gnolls, Dryads, and another dwelling of Vivs deep in the resource area, and I took the dungeon, building a portal, which gave me a Viv archer. On day 117, I saw Greenie 1-5-6-10 in the tavern; for some reason, I thought he was a noob from the prison and wouldn't be ready for my rush into the zone, where I even had to run through the stables and use the boots from the castle to get there! As a result, on day 121, I positioned myself at a decent distance from his secondary town. Alkin 3-12-1-61 mana, 40 Golems, 20 Gnolls, 13 Vivs (4 not purchased), and 3 single-stack groups of Dryads. Of course, Ilya punished me for my one spell. He attacked with the same amount of mana, slightly more troops, including 4 Ifrits and 13 Basilisks, in addition to the Vivs, and 10 Dryads in one stack, although he had fewer than 30 Lizards. In short, I managed to leave 1 Ifrit, 7 Vivs, 12 Basilisks, and 20 Golems; I barely escaped, and I had 0 money... Ilya also managed to move Greenie to the fountain, which I accidentally ran past on week 1. What to do? I run on the remaining 32 mana to attack 9 Black Knights for the reward with the remaining 4 Vivs and 6 birds from the stronghold, which I built on week 1 in the stronghold, and I intend to run to the treasure, which is right next to the fountain, but on a different road from that stronghold. I barely manage to deal with the knights and wolves with the last bit of mana, and I get 4 Cyclops. On my turn, I see Greenie inexplicably breaking his army and apparently also running to that reward, although 200 mana should have been enough after the fountain for the entire treasure. In general, this mistake probably decided the outcome of the game. In the end, I got Logu on day 123 after 1 hive for 4 Vivs and 2nd-tier conscripts. By day 125, I was already on Ilya's side of the map, in front of the split leading to the secondary town on the other side of the map. My stats were already 10-20, with 40 powerful Vivs and 26 Cyclops; thanks to expert logistics, I quickly gathered all of this. As a result, on day 126, I take the secondary town with a hero, build a 4th-tier guild in the ramp, and before that, I exchanged resources for money to somehow survive... There was also a very cool battle of scouts on that road, where we clashed once on day 121. With a hero from the town, after learning Teleportation and Resurrection, I take the Inferno secondary town. On day 127, after gathering troops and hero stats, with the last of my Dryads, I reach the main town, where Greenie, apparently not expecting me to make it, was waiting... Ilya, of course, gave me a chance after I made myself vulnerable. Thanks for the match; it was great!

I had a very good start, plus a dwelling for Vivs. I decided that this was a plus for the red faction. By the middle of the week, I found dwellings for Gnolls, Flies, and another dwelling for Vivs deep in the resource area, and I took the dungeon, building a portal, which gave me a Viv archer. On day 117, I saw Grinya 1-5-6-10 in the tavern; for some reason, I thought he was a noob from the prison, and he wouldn't be ready for my rush into the zone, where I even had to run through the stables and get some items from the Castle's shop!.. As a result, on day 121, I positioned myself at a decent distance from his secondary town. Alkin had 3-12-1-61 mana, 40 Lizards, 20 Gnolls, 13 Vivs (I didn't buy 4 of them), and 3 level 1 Goblins. Of course, Ilya punished me for my one spell. He attacked with the same amount of mana, slightly more troops, including 4 Ifrits and 13 Basilisks, in addition to the Vivs, and 10 Flies in one stack, but fewer than 30 Lizards. In short, I managed to leave 1 Ifrit, 7 Vivs, 12 Basilisks, and 20 Lizards; I just ran away, and I had 0 gold... Ilya also managed to move Grinya to the fountain, which I accidentally ran past on week 1. What to do? I ran with the remaining 32 mana to attack 9 Black Knights for the treasure with the remaining 4 Vivs and 6 birds from the stronghold, which I built on week 1 in the stronghold, and I intended to run to the treasure, which was right next to the fountain, but on a different road from that stronghold. I barely managed to deal with the horses and wolves with the last bit of mana, and I got 4 Cyclops. On my turn, I saw that Grinya was breaking and apparently also running to that treasure, although 200 mana should have been enough after the fountain for the entire treasure... In general, this mistake probably decided the outcome of the game. In the end, I got Logu on day 123 after 1 Hive for 4 Vivs and level 2 Condors. By day 125, I was already on Ilya's side of the map, in front of the treasure that led to his secondary town on the other side of the map. My stats were already 10-20, with 40 powerful Vivs and 26 Cyclops; thanks to the expert log, I quickly gathered all of this. As a result, on day 126, I took the village with a hero, built the 4th-level guild in the ramp, and before that, I exchanged resources for gold to somehow survive... There was also a very cool battle of scouts on that road, where we fought once on day 121. With a hero from the village, after learning Teleportation and Resurrection, I took the Inferno secondary town. On day 127, after gathering troops and improving the hero, with the last of the Goblins, I reached the main town, where Grinya, apparently not expecting me to make it, was... Ilya, of course, gave me a chance after I made a mistake. Thanks for the match; it was great!

I learned a lot from the games... I hope to improve my level. Good luck

Next week, I hope we’ll start the finals with Dave. We agreed on a Bo5 match on the same faction. I can’t promise any streams, but maybe I’ll let someone stream it.
