[/CENTER]

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:

8xm12a collapsed and even then it was glitched. The generator won. In the adjacent zone, there were 3 external dwellings of peasants; on day 114, there was Galtran, 170 skeletons, 2 angels, and heavy thoughts about where to level Luna. I went with Tant and Goshan to fortify by day 121, and used scout heroes to pick up the revealed 2 Griffin Conservatories (a third one was revealed during the process). All 3 turned out to be level 1. On the way back, as the plot progressed, I decided to break a one-way portal hoping to use a scout hero to collect some gold or resources — there was a shortage of both. The scout hero jumped into the one-way portal and took an empty dungeon, which unexpectedly was under a blue flag. As a result, instead of continuing on to the zone with two angel portals and a level 1 utopia with КВ and Necro Boots, I defeated Goshan in a city recaptured from the blue player and replenished mana. I made a mistake — I didn't immediately run further; it turned out there was another blue city very close, but Goshan had no moves left. I stayed to replenish mana. The opponent cut off a couple of scout heroes and left Grindan in that city. Next turn, double mana and ГГ. We replayed the finale for fun; it wasn't pulling through — too big an advantage in army strength. Thanks for the game!

The same Necro-cloak and convenient wells were rolled. One of the wells is near the entrance to a fat super-treasure. It contains four Dragon Utopias and other things. By 131, stats were already 20+. Some heroes caused problems; everyone except Tant was leveled as if they were alternatively gifted. In the middle of the week, TP was finished; closer to the end of the week, I finally leveled up new supports and started jumping around the map. At 141, a scout hinted that the entire army was sitting in the opponent's main town, so Tant flew there. For some reason, he cast Red Sphere despite a huge advantage in mana and magic. But high stats and a certain number of ducks and angels were enough. Thanks for the game!

There isn't really a desire to impose or prohibit anything. But it's worth reminding people to be mindful (within the tournament), as many only read half of the rules, and this way they might learn something else. You could also request save files, but I definitely don't need that.
Andryukh, test this version, and you'll understand that it has more similarities with Heroes than with Quake;)
And I don't understand what's wrong with both opponents having the same starting army... Or maybe the topic of 10 gnolls for Tazar hasn't been discussed in a while?:D

This map had one of the best zones I've had on xl+u , but also the worst roads i've ever had on xl+u.(It costs 20k+ movement from my main town to the first village on the road)
my 3 towns were 2x castle and strong, so I couldn't build dd/fly(which would help me a ton).
With the help of necro and 1st week angel build, I could take 2 utopias without problem, however they gave me no control. after deciding to go through a one way portal as my only option, I found my opp.
After taking a few of his towns, he gave up despite having full control.
I think he would win the game if he had decided to play on as he had great heroes with full control and great position, but after seeing my main town is too far he gave up.
Thanks for playing.

He simply lacked the patience after several consecutive failed attempts, where he lost a couple of moves while trying to capture an empty enemy main town, where he could have upgraded his angels. He rage-quit, gg wp. Thanks for the game!

Good map, mini consa 113, stables , but very bad roads. after 7 rebuilds I found full control and was forced to attack my opponent due to no way out of zone.
After a week of fighting over his starting zone towns , despite having logs and boots on two heroes with exp earth+air , my stronger army forced him to attack me and there with only 21 mana my hero won with lightning bolt spam, which left him with 6 wyverns and 5k gold.
On my turn I attacked his full control hero with boots and gloves when he decided to give up.
Thanks for playing.

8xm12a was taken, and even then it glitched out. The generator won. In the adjacent zone there were 3 external peasant dwellings, on 114 there was Galtran, 170 skeletons, 2 angels, and heavy thoughts about where to level Luna. With Tant and Goshan, I went to grab horseshoes by 121, scout heroes went to pick up the revealed 2 Griffin Conservatories (a third was revealed in the process). All 3 turned out to be single-level. On the way back, as the play unfolded, I decided to break through a one-way portal hoping to use a scout hero to gather some gold or resources, there was a shortage of both. The scout hero jumps into the one-way portal and takes an empty dungeon, which unexpectedly was under a blue flag. As a result, instead of continuing the path to the zone with two angel portals and a 1 with KV and Necroslippers, I take Goshan into the city recaptured from blue, replenishing mana. I made a mistake, didn't run further immediately; it turned out there was another blue city very close, but Goshan was out of moves. I stay to replenish mana. The opponent cuts down a couple of scout heroes and Grindan remains in that city. Next turn double mana and GG. We replayed the finale for fun, it wasn't pulling through, too big a meat advantage.

Roma, I knew about it even when the HD mod was just being developed; it was already in the plans on df2. And I tested it after the release, even online.
And my worst fears were confirmed. It's a toy for modders who don't play (or don't play anymore) Heroes. It's impossible to explain the issue in just two sentences. Now they're trying to add something, but a lot has been irrevocably lost.
And the mod guarantees you 2 stacks and 2 building slots. And having the same starting army is like saying, "Let's make everything equal, let's only play as Serenas." That's not the right direction. With all these attempts to equalize things, the chances of a casual player defeating a strong player have become negligible. And that was a hallmark of this game. Instead of just playing, they're trying to turn it into something pseudo-competitive.
By the way, the swamp theme is well-developed in Quake.

With the introduction of all these equations, the chances of a novice player defeating a strong player have become negligible. And that was a hallmark of this game.
Nuff Said!
People have been fighting for years to remove randomness from the game, so that a novice player has at least a chance of defeating a strong player, so that (as I wrote once) "skill is what determines the outcome, in its original meaning, and not the skill that Reddit users have."
And Rebel believes that the entire direction is fundamentally wrong.
And I'm not saying that anyone is wrong.
Blizzard made card games, and they are deliberately trying to make there so much randomness that any newbie, by donating 2-3 bucks to them, can easily defeat Kolento.
I'm just saying that there's nothing to talk about between these two sides of the dialogue. :D These are simply two different (even opposite in meaning) ways of getting enjoyment from the game.
