[/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:

I still don't understand what that template was (something like 8xm8b), but it gave a good reward. Thanks for the game!

GG, thanks for the game. We started a Heroes of Might and Magic 3 game without using any save slots; the map seemed pretty good. On the first day, there was a lot of money, a lair of archers, and a stable. On the second day, I unlocked the map view, saw three directions, and decided to play because I was tired of being stuck with only one path. The map was generally decent. I quickly took a companion and captured two villages while the opponent was stuck with only one town. Unfortunately, over the next week, I earned as much money as I did in one turn; I couldn't even build any cavalry. The AI used its hero to bite my marksmen, then used ranged units, and finally, the morale in the minotaur lair left only two marksmen out of 20. Two directions turned out to be dead ends with villages that had nothing. And on the third direction, I immediately encountered the AI; there were 5 efreets, 200 skeletons, good stats, and a necromancer with Meteor Shower. I had an Aine, level 6, with magic stats of 6 and 4, a little bit of my own meat, and a rampart. We fought, but it wasn't great. I left 100 skeletons, lost everything, and he still had 100 mana left. I decided that further resistance was pointless and surrendered.

Pretty slow start for me, with small initial zone and swamp secondary zone. But playable, so i decide not to use my last restart. As saves showed my opponent got far worse start.
On the first week I took Castle, scouted, collected some reaources. With second week I got Grindan, who became the main hero. Found useful level 2-3 artifacts almost in every slot, went to treasuries. One of the treasuries was a good one with several cyclops stockpiles, 3 hives and utopia. Took utopia only on 134 with ressurection learned from Jeddit and shitload of mana from intellect on Grindan. It was pretty good with +5 all and angel wings.
Later took another utopia with some stats, on 137 i finally rebuilt full control. The next week was used to train some support heroes, make archangels and take some towns. In the end of the week I took all enemy towns, killed some heroes. On 147 he surrendered. TFP!

Despite the reset, the start turned out rather poor, but 2 Necro towns came in, and I also scouted 2 roads from the spawn area using the overview, one of which led to a 3k with a Crystal Mine (at first I thought it generated 6lm). I decided to play without rests.
The Necro heroes leveled up quickly and by week 1, day 15 I came across a level 1 Griffin Conservatory. Life became more fun with an Angel, since at home I couldn't build anything except Wood.
I ended the week with 200+ Skeletons and a captured village, but the best part was that one of the looted scrolls contained Town Portal)
On week 2, day 5 I built the 4th level and took out the nearby Fortress town opponent, advanced Xsi's Earth magic, and finally no longer needed to maintain an ultra-long chain across "half the map."
On the second attempt I got Dimension Door and started hopping around the map with three heroes, meanwhile taking 2 level 1 Dragon Utopias, in which I got 3 Helmets))
In the end, at the moment of first contact, the armies were at parity, but the opponent was inferior in stats and also very far behind in map exploration.
Left with 2 towns and no visible prospects, the opponent decided to surrender

TFP :)

On day 1, I spread out with 5 heroes and the Moon appeared in the tavern. Near the Castle there are several experience stones and many magic boosters; I also scouted that there is a decent road from the respawn—so I decided to play.
I was too lazy to build up birds, especially since there was a 2k cons, for which I immediately started preparing the Moon.
At the end of the 1st week, I took a 2k cons, and another 3k at the beginning of the week.
Using excellent roads, I spread out in different directions, took out the green and pink AI, collected several hives, and another 3k cons.
On 124, I placed level 5 where I was immediately given DD. Two rebuilds do not give TP for level 4.
On 127, Aenain jumps to the opponent's respawn with an angel using two DDs, but having only advanced land view, I miss the castle (while scattering 3 suckers digging for the grail :D). The opponent is defending with some meat in the castle. On 131, I use the Moon to bring Aenain an army and take the city (the only one at that time). At the end of their turn, the opponent surrenders—their roads are completely terrible

Thanks for the game
