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:

Thanks for the game!
From the very beginning, I took the path of gathering resources - ended up with 131 units of sulfur and 10..15 of everything else, 8xm12 turned out to be poor. 117 - external dwelling of unicorns, 121 - Dragon Fly Hive and shield +6, 123 - Griffin Conservatory-3, 124 - another Dragon Fly Hive. At this point, I could have gone at the opponent through wasteland, but the lack of any magic and the opponent's opposing direction held me back; going to him through wasteland would have taken about 4 days; I foresaw a ton of hit-and-runs, Solmyr in the Castle, and the main hero far away in the treasury (postmortem revealed that at 131 the opponent had 5 Nagas, 2 Wyverns, 3 Wonders, no magic above Lightning Bolt, but a bunch of leveled-up mages), although that was the only chance. Then I ran around Utopias; from 3 of them I got +3 all stats. At this point, the gold mine was completely depleted - it had been insufficient since 111; destitution and no building construction; I have 10 Zombies, which the 2nd main hero with Leadership could use; a swap, mixed up the heroes, and losing a day is unforgivable; I surrendered.

Perfect start: 3 stacks on Shakti, 2 dungeon heroes in tavern. There is conservatory for 2 angels, Gunnar and Galthran. On the first week i cleared 3 roads with different armies. Second week - went to treasury, got some good artifacts, building mage guild.
Made serious mistakes and lost both angels (first - no gold to surrender to the opponent's hero, second - Gunnar with artifacts, angel and some gremlins didn't manage to kill the horde of gogs). As a result no armies to collect resources and scout roads, small main army (~160 troglodites and 10 demons). But got ressurection in guild, learnt it with Shakti, doubled mana to 140, bought several spell power points. Went in the direction of the opponent. Boots, gloves, stables and expert logistics would have allowed to take enemy towns if he hadn't attacked. But he attacked with substantially larger army. Troglodites with higher stats, 9 speed and resurrection brought me this not very well deserved victory. TFP!

Everything was bad and slow, plus the opponent got a cap in the very first Dragon Utopia and decided to finish as quickly as possible; I managed to build up control and took a detour, clearing a couple of Dragon Utopias, which gave good stats, and I already had magic anyway. In the finale with +2 speed, after a couple of explosion exchanges, victory was achieved quite quickly. Thanks for the game.

The opponent got the Necromancer's Cloak and convenient wells. One of the wells is near the entrance to a fat super-treasure. Inside are four Dragon Utopia 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, Town Portal 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 I flew there with Tant. For some reason, they 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!
When I took the external dwelling of Ruh on the first week, I got morale in the 1st round and was left without an army. As a result, I lost tempo, which was impossible to recover in this particular deal, because the opponent's distribution was very beautiful.
Thanks for the game.

A huge rich respawn was dealt; I was swimming in money all game. On the first week, birds in the Citadel; on the second, I started building the Mage Guild, finished it on the third — got nothing. I ventured into the central treasure zone with mines (aside from which, as usual, there was almost nothing there). While I was messing around there, at the end of the third week, Crag Hack showed up with decent stats. I had to teleport home, thankfully in one treasure zone I had three Dragon Utopias stashed. But first I wanted to rebuild Town Portal so I wouldn't have to haul the cash there by roads. I rebuilt it 5-6 times — didn't get Town Portal, went there by road anyway. In the end, on resources, Gurnison takes the maximum from КЗ, then Tazar claims a Dragon Utopia from КВ, the next turn another one, and on 144 Gurnison flies back to the combat zone. Castle-grabbing was in the works, and I still had to outrun my opponent, finish developing Tazar to stand a fight against Crag Hack, but he made an unfortunate misstep by splitting his army, so Gurnison was enough for the win. Thanks for the game!

Everything was bad and slow, and on top of that, the opponent was given a cap in the very first Dragon Utopia and decided to finish quickly; I managed to build up control and took a detour, eating a couple of Dragon Utopias, which gave good stats, and I already had magic. In the finale with +2 speed, after a couple of blast exchanges, victory came quite quickly, thanks for the game.
I did something wrong, and I didn't have any stats, while he was given stats.

A huge, rich respawn was distributed, I was swimming in money the whole game. On the first week I had birds in the Citadel, on the second I started building a Mage Guild, finished it on the third — got nothing. I went to the central treasure zone with mines (which, as usual, had almost nothing else there), while I was messing around there, at the end of the third week Crag Hack showed up with decent stats. I had to retreat home, luckily I had three Dragon Utopias stashed away in one treasure zone. But first I wanted to re-cast Town Portal so I wouldn't have to haul my army there along the roads. Re-cast it 5-6 times — didn't get Town Portal, went there on foot. In the end, Voya on resources takes the maximum from КЗ, then Tazar takes a Dragon Utopia from КВ, the next turn another one, and on turn 144 Voya flies back to the combat zone. A castle takeover was in the works, and I still had to outrun the opponent, finish Tazar's development to be able to fight Crag Hack, but he made a bad mistake by splitting his army, so Voya was enough for the victory. Thanks for the game!
The re-casting trolled me thoroughly, and the Dragon Utopias had neither control nor magic resistance. Thanks to the opponent for the game and fair play. Good luck going forward!

Two natives from the start, managed to take two villages on the first turn, built wood in the Fortress (with a tower), gathered around 35 ducks, and with Solmyr and Oil, took the Castle of Valor on day 127. On day 131, I picked up +2 all stats for the gray and with Ciel jumped onto the opponent's respawn point. Seeing the control, the opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
