"Final Battle - 11"

I. General Questions.
1. Only players who have passed the selection process are allowed to participate in the Tournament, namely:
01. Gomunguls (FB-10-1)
02. Amster (FB-10-2)
03. LuckyF (FB-10-3)
04. Redwhait (Way to Olympus)
05. FireToSky (Battle of Favorites - 9)
06. Dave_HUN (Only-XL)
07. caliban (newbie 17 winter)
08. graalzzz (newbie 17 summer)
09. Antiplayer (OFB-11-1)
10. boovli (OFB-11-2)
11. Dima Surmay (OFB-11-3)
12. Falcone (OFB-11-4)
13. KobRa_RR (OFB-11-5)
14. Roger-ua (OFB-11-6)
15. Diabler (OFB-11-7)
16. BISHOP (OFB-11-8)

2. Game Version SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod version 5.0 beta 9 + HW_rules_mod patch version 1.38.
In addition to the standard checkboxes, there should be a checkbox for disabling obelisks.
The Guild of Mages restructuring is enabled. There are no restrictions on restructuring.

3. The right to choose the Town and Color is negotiated (unless the template specifies otherwise). The right to speak first in the negotiations is determined by a coin toss.

4. Templates will be as in the OFB tournament. Standard pattern selection from the list. The right to cross out the template first is determined by a coin toss. The player "who wins the coin toss" chooses who will cross out first.

h3dm1, mt-diamond, Anarchy, Skirmish, Jebus cross,
8mm6a, 6LM10a, 8xm12a, Spider
.

5. Standard rules. If changes are made to the rules during the tournament, they will apply in this tournament.
Default timer is chess clock
Restarts 113 on all templates, except mirror ones.

Clarifications for some templates:

h3dm1 and mt-diamond
a) Timer 21+8-30+1-15. It is allowed to pass shifted guards to any lands. Only medium roads. Computer selection - random (for mt-diamond)
b) Castle selection. Each participant has the right to ban one castle before generation. First, the blue player says whether he wants/doesn't want to ban a castle, after which the HW-Rulz mod sets a ban on these castles and starts the generator of a single castle. The game will be played with that castle.
c) Negotiations. There is a negotiation for color and the right to choose a hero (therefore, red rush is allowed). Each player has the right to cross out 1 hero before the start of the negotiations for them (may not use this right), then there is a negotiation for the hero (including Conflux. For Necropolis, it is possible to start with Galtran), followed by a negotiation for the color. If a banned hero appears in tavern 111 of any player with troops, it results in an automatic restart. The rule breaker receives a technical defeat. You must declare the hero to your opponent immediately after generation (for those who are slow, within 10 seconds after the start)
d) There is 1 subjective restart and objective restarts (restart due to block (inability to leave the castle) or a serious bug during generation) - this is discussed between players, if no consensus is reached, the player has the right to save and once contact the judges, but please do not abuse this right, as it delays games. Objective restarts are taken no later than turn 112.
e) In the cities of Necropolis and Conflux (both in starting ones and in any other), standard restrictions on buildings, improvements, and creature purchases apply.

Anarchy
a) 160% trade. All roads!
b) All restrictions have been canceled, except for fair play rules.
c) The HW Rules checkbox must be disabled in the game.
ATTENTION! You need to disable the checkbox after each restart!

Only guild restructuring is enabled in the HW-rulez options.
d) It is forbidden to use the daily Grail excavation bug.

Skirmish
200% all random. The color of the first generation is determined by a coin toss. Color change after each subjective restart.

II. Organizational Questions.

1. The tournament is held according to Rules for organization, conduct and participation in tournaments.
2. Players who are on the Black List and Penalty Bench are not allowed to participate in the tournament.
3. Tournament hosts and judges:
Tournament host: Dirty_Player (ICQ: 408722873).
Co-host and judge ???
If it is impossible to resolve a controversial issue independently, the judges will seek help from the AC.
The host has the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament if necessary.
4. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation in this topic, created automatically.
Saves of all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and submitted upon first request by the tournament host or any member of the AC.
5. Information about the progress of the tournament is updated as needed and is located at the beginning of this topic.
6. All games of the tournament go into the seasonal rating. The list of reports for the tournament is also located at the beginning of this topic.
7. Players who take 1st-3rd place will receive the right to participate in FB-12
The winner of the tournament will receive the traditional medal under his avatar.



III. Deadlines.
All participants in the tournament must strictly adhere to the announced deadlines:
1. Immediately after the start of the next stage or round, contact your opponents / opponent to arrange games. To agree means to come to an agreement after negotiations, discussion. An offer without a response will not be considered an agreement.
2. Temporary problems (with internet, travel, personal) must be reported to the tournament hosts.
3. The preferred time for tournament games is daytime (12-24 Moscow time) on weekends and evening (19-24 Moscow time) on weekdays. If a participant cannot play at this time, the absence of a game result will be interpreted by the host in favor of his opponent.

Registration (confirmation of participation) - December 18 - 21, 2017.
Draw - December 22, 2017.
Start of the tournament - December 22, 2017.

IV. Regulations.
We discussed the system with Cobra for a long time. The task was to ensure that there were no meaningless games, plus involve as many winners of tournaments as possible and more qualifying places from OFB. As a result, we decided to hold it in this format:

The tournament is held in 2 stages.
1) Group stage: 4 groups of 4 people according to the mini-double system (2 wins to advance). 2 people go out of the group.
2) Playoffs. Olympic system, 8 people, BO3. + match for 3rd place.

V. Winners of past tournaments:
Final Battle - 10: Gomunguls
Final Battle - 9: Maretti
Final Battle - 8: Maretti
Final Battle - 7: Gomunguls
Final Battle - 6: Gomunguls
Final Battle - 5: Satir
Final Battle - 4: Medium_HP
Final Battle - 3: numOne
Final Battle - 2: Pit for LM
Final Battle: Wlk777

Dear participants! YaR has expressed a desire to provide coverage of the final stage of the Factions Battle, including two-way streams with commentary. Therefore, we ask participants who plan to play and are willing to stream or broadcast their games to contact him via ICQ or in this thread. This is not mandatory, but I think many would be interested in watching such games. We will definitely broadcast the final.

Managed to win somehow, by some miracle.
Thanks for the game.
When I saw on turn 112 that the road led to an exit into a one-way street (naturally, only turn 111 remained, which I didn't take because of the Moon), I lost all desire to play. I put up a fight for appearances' sake and played a bit more carefully; I could have won, but I guess I lacked the skill and the desire.
Thanks for the game and good luck.

This is not entirely correct; such things can only be done in two cases: if the person gives their consent (each time, for each specific game), or if these are the decisive games of the final. Otherwise, wanting to re-stream someone else's stream and taking away part of their audience, while the person may be trying to expand it... so, no matter how well-intentioned the impulse, it is necessary to ask each person individually; otherwise, this can be seen as a blatant lack of manners... be more considerate of other people's work.

Of course, I won't do anything without the consent of the participants; that's why I wrote to Dirty about it. And if someone can take away an audience by broadcasting their game, then I don't know... in any case, thank you for expressing your opinion, Anton.

Well, I think I described it that way.
Dirty_Player
It's not mandatory.
That is, if one of the players objects for any reason, no one will restream their game. But for the final, I'd like to make it look good.

The first mistake was not checking the hut near the road right away, where there was earth. Then, I tried to sneak into a level 2 lair with Gorgons of level 50+ at the beginning of the second week, hoping to get artifacts and a chest. I thought that 200 skeletons, archers, and knights would easily handle it, but I was wrong, and I lost 2/3 of my army. As compensation, the chest contained all the earth, which I took with advanced wisdom. Then, I lost the hero with the artifacts and the remaining knights. And then, I was caught without mana. If they hadn't ambushed me, there would have been some prospects. I played very poorly – a deserved defeat.
Thank you for the game!

The opponent resigned immediately; I had the last turn. I had enough gold, decent roads, and Gunnar – so I decided to play. At the start of week 2, I took two Hives for 12 Vivi units; there was also a Griffin Conservatory trio, but it required one more Hive. Further objects were not visible, so I focused all efforts on capturing the tower-comp to rebuild the Mage Guild. On day 127, the opponent appeared with their entire army, heading toward my tower. I attacked; I got hit by a Chain Lightning in the first round, and in the second round a sudden Armageddon landed, and the opponent bought back with 4 HP on their last surviving Naga. I should note that I received maximum possible damage. I had a few Archers left, three Vivi units, and two Horses. At the start of the new week, I ran to the super treasure zone, but aside from one Hive and a +5 Shield, nothing interesting. In the second treasure zone, I took a box for all Air magic. I rebuilt Town Portal on the second try with a library, but Gunnar was without Earth magic. I bought Earth, took the Cloak of Rejection, and picked up an extra Hive by the end of week 3. On day 141, I saw the opponent expose a hero on Angels in two stacks, which I could reach. After finishing the Griffin Conservatory, I flew to him, but there were 3+2 Angels; I killed three, and in response, a Chain Lightning hit for -1 Angel, and a buyback. I switched the Cloak of Rejection; Aina attacks, sees the Cloak, and surrenders.
Thanks for the game!

It turned out to be an interesting game; the opponent got the Tome of Earth from the first treasure and put pressure on me, but didn't get Death Dealing in the first four builds of his Necromancer Might and Magic hero, so I had some time to recover. After three builds on both level 4 and level 5 in the Tower, I gained full control. My first treasure gave +5 to all stats and +4 to all stats, the second treasure gave nothing, and I tried to develop side heroes with Expert Earth and Air magic, but none of them got it, and there was no Flux Town on the map. I entered a treasure in hopes of finding another treasure, which I did, and it gave me a Blue Hat and Shackles. The Blue Hat bought me a bit more time because Gunnar only had Advanced Wisdom. One turn, I made a mistake and left slow units on Nagash, so I didn't reach the Rampart AI in the center, who had a treasure with an Air magic book in it. Funnily enough, this might have turned out to be my advantage because I went off-road in a desert treasure with Dessa and picked up a 15k experience box, resulting in Expert Air magic after she already had Expert Earth from a 10k box two days before. Now I had two heroes with Expert Logistics, Earth, and Air magic, against one hero on the opponent's side (Clavius). Gunnar and Brissa helped me catch the enemy scout heroes that tried to sneak around and grab my undefended towns. In the end, I controlled all the map and was free to gather everything. I made two big mistakes towards the end; one was that I didn't think my castle village was reachable in the corner, but it turns out there was a subterranean gate which made it reachable in one day, so Clavius attacked me there. The other mistake I made was in the final battle when I blocked the Power Liches, and this gave an opportunity to take retaliation off my big stack of skeletons, but for some reason, he didn't do that. Then I was facing 124 Earth Elementals, but I had the Black Orb and could blind them after killing the remaining troops.
Thanks for the game!
