I. Rules and Templates.

1. Game Version. The tournament will be held on version SoD 3.2(4.0) + HD mod of the latest current version + HW_rulez 1.38 (when a new actual patch is released, this rule must be changed).
2. The main innovation! All XL templates used in the tournament (five): 8mm6a,8хм12а, 6LM10a, 8xm8a(8xm8b), Spider.
will be placed in one file-template rmg.txt. Players use this file when generating the map, which includes all XL templates without template labeling (it won't be visible when viewing game information).
In the game it will look like this:

Download and unzip the zip archive (at the bottom of the topic) to the root folder with the game (8xm8b was used instead of 8xm8a).

3. Castle selection: random pair + trade.
The host generates a pair of random castles using a special button. Immediately after generation, each player can request a regeneration once for 500 coins as compensation to the opponent. If at least one castle is repeated during regeneration, that same player may (but is not obligated) request a free regeneration until a new pair of castles appears.
4. After trading for a castle, there is a trade for color. To speed up the negotiation process, the red color starts the bidding in the table.
5. The total number of restarts is 3 days, i.e., 111+111+111, 111+112, 113.
6. Time limit per turn with chess timer - 21:00+08:00+01:15
7. Roads are medium and fast.
8. Guild Hall rebuilding option enabled.
9. Library in "Tower" allowed.
10. Timeframe for one game – 2 weeks (explanation for those who need it: you must adhere to the gameplay schedule – 1 game every 2 weeks; if you started a game with an opponent, then the time frame for this game is 2 weeks; if the opponent ignores or refuses to finish the game within the specified period without valid reasons, you have the right to demand that an ODD be assigned; in case of non-appearance, the opponent receives a technical defeat).

II. Regulations

Stage 1 – Groups

Two players with the highest number of points advance from the group.
In case of equal points, places are distributed according to additional indicators (in order of priority):
1. Berger coefficient.
2. Head-to-head result.
3. If it is impossible to determine which players will advance to the playoffs based on previous indicators, the players will be offered a scheme for transition games. At the moment, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be developed based on the situation that develops in the groups at the end of the stage.

Victory – 3 points; defeat – 0; draw – 1 point (counted at stage 211+ at the discretion of the organizers).

The group stage ends on June 6, 2018
(no saves or replays will be accepted, results will be posted based on submitted tournament reports)

Stage 2 – Olympic System

On June 21, 2018, the playoff draw will take place.

Two players who took 1st and 2nd places from the groups advance and are randomly distributed into the bracket.
Games in the playOff stage are played according to the bо3 system (3-4 weeks).

III. Organizational Issues

1. The tournament starts on March 29, 2018, registration for the tournament is open until March 26 inclusive, up to 24:00 Moscow time (March 27-28 - determination of the final regulations of the tournament, group draw) 16 groups of 7 people = 112 people
2. The tournament is official.
3. The tournament is held according to Rules for organizing, conducting and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments.
4. Tournament host – rebellious (ICQ 345870761), organizational issues and media support – YaR (ICQ 287407342).
5. Tournament judge – Dima Surmay (ICQ 263293484).
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. Media coverage of the tournament will be provided by player YaR – organization of mutual streaming of games and video reviews. Registration for the tournament means consent to use your streams to popularize the tournament.
8. The winner of the tournament will receive a medal under his avatar and a ticket to the FB tournament :smile20:

As I understand it, most participants, regardless, play with the standard set of templates by mutual agreement. I hope this isn't prohibited.

I understand that random generation is the highlight of this year's tournament, and it's a mandatory condition. If they say that using a standard set of templates is allowed, everyone will do it, and I will too.

But the reports mention specific templates, not random maps.

Maybe after the game, they open the map and understand which pattern they played? And in the reports, they write down the specific pattern, not "random" or "another pattern".

Yes, in principle, after a few days, it becomes clear what pattern you are playing.

All paranoid players are advised to play HotA version 1.5.2+:
[+] Added a check for random map templates for players before online play, and a warning if the template has been modified.

I think the players are doing everything as they should. And the word "Random" in the report might sound like a "verdict" for a player who doesn't understand the map and the pattern. :smile13: This brings up the question of "honor" and personal competence. Although, it's possible that in a boring game, a player might write "Random" in the report in a condescending way.
And it's not worth leaning towards using patterns or choosing a specific one, fair play is in the air. :)

In this specific case, the situation is significantly different. You don't need any knowledge of generation processes to simply change the text of a title without touching the template. As far as I understand, it's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to detect this – the template is generated absolutely correctly.

I only have one question: why does the tournament regulation change immediately after registration closes, without giving participants a chance to consider it, and without notifying them in advance? It smells like Vic's methods, and at least he conducts polls :D

Opponent left:( and I was just thinking about building birds.
Thanks for the game!
Big respawn, lots of gold, placed Castle, bears, took the Nix bird. Decided to break into the second. 3 piles of resources, a scroll (level 2) and an experience stone. There turned out to be 46 upgraded horned ones. The template was 8mm6a.

Thanks for the game!

GG, thanks for the game! It was a decent match; I thought it would be a complete stomp, but it turned out to be fairly even. I lost due to a silly mistake; I timed my spell incorrectly and ended up in the wrong city, while my opponent emerged from a one-way portal on a random tile and crushed me =(. Moandor was decent, but I only had two-thirds of its potential. We exchanged chain lightning spells, but the Fortress's damage was twice as high. I gave away half my artifacts and a ton of creatures. It's a shame they didn't include a decent hero; maybe I could have pulled through. It's frustrating; this was the first and only time I stayed in that city, and it was just to get the Naga Shrine. Overall, two days weren't enough. In those two days, I upgraded my Archmages, took Utopia, which, as it turned out, contained the Crown of the Magi and the Shackles of Pain. 10 Archmages plus skeletons under Mullic would have destroyed everything. But luck favors the strong. In the end, Moandor died, and I was left with 20 ducks, 10 horses, two green creatures, and 60 marksmen; I could have put up more of a fight. But Mullic, without a territory, couldn't get to my main city. I decided not to waste any more time and surrendered, although I could have played for another week or two. Mullic's last skill choice was amusing: either Orlogaz or Navigation in the second-to-last slot :D
