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:

In the third week, we faced an opponent; both of us were coming off losses and had no army. It turned into some kind of mage battle, but thankfully, Tazar, with his wisdom and 4 grand mages, managed to pull through. Thanks for the game.

Rollback 2200, no rests left. The start was very poor in terms of money and quite poor in one's army, despite all heroes having 3 stacks. Only 3 heroes on day 1. On the plus side, there were 7 obelisks in the starting zone) To offset the poverty, the roads were good; 3 of them led from the Castle.
Horses didn't spawn on the first one. The sawmill was blocked for a long time, but in the end, it wasn't that which decided things, but a banal lack of gold. On the positive side, I snatched the brown swamp with built-up vivers and a citadel. At least some kind of army. At home, I put 1-4 in the citadel. I gave Gundula shooting at level 2, just to somehow break through with my crumbs. For artifacts, I took a sword +2 attack and defense.
On the second day, I broke through another road, went to the center, took a Rampart village there, and found a couple of hives and a consu. There was also a consa at home. Due to the lack of money, I had to run Gundula on foot from the swamp to there; fortunately, the roads were fast.
The hive guards fell without any problems, and the hives themselves too, although if it had been first maxi - I would have stayed there. But the layout was too bad; I had to risk it. I took 3 hives of 6 vivers each, then a mini-consu. Then I crashed Gundula back home, took a level 3 consu with a loss of 20 markovs and most of the meat. But the vivers were untouched.
On day 127 in my corner treasure zone, I took another level 3 consu, and on the next turn a minimal one. Total 8 angels. Found a 5th one in the center, teleported there, and took a level 2 with Tiraxor. 10 angels, vivers still around 20, no more hives. Finally got land, as late as level 11. But I experted logy.
132 - Dragon Utopia level 3, gave okay stuff: +10 knowledge, wings, КО and a flask.
134 - another Dragon Utopia, this time level 2, sword of justice, armor +10 and dragon shield +3 attack and defense. Picked up a TP scroll and put gm4 in the tower.
135 - entered a super-treasure zone, took 2 hives there: 8+4. The blues appeared; I cut off Dess and Vidomina with spoons in the swamp (formerly brown).
135 blue - Gunnar appeared, 11 angels, 16 vivers, 40 markovs and some other minor trash. Stats 12-11-9-7, 20+ mana.
136 - did a TP with Gundula to the swamp, upgraded monarchs and missed Gunnar by 1 step diagonally (would have reached him horizontally). Had to TP back to the swamp. 25 mana.
136 blue - Gunnar unexpectedly attacks, moreover without mana replenishment. In the 1st round, the opponent made a mistake and left a cast for his angels, which got hit by blind. + I got lucky with morale and the shooters killed the pegasus, and ducks moved twice in the 1st round (slaughtered basilisks and vivers). My only losses were 6 markovs. In the end, the 2nd round started with a slow on the angels and a strike against them with my monarchs and angels. Killed 9 out of 11. In response, an impla flew at 5 angels, but that was clearly not enough. Thanks for the game!

On day 115, I had 46 Gogs and decided that I wasn't afraid of the horde of geared-up units defending the refuge and the wood cart, but the units had other plans. After that, I lost a couple more times, and by the second week, I had 6 pits left, with which I managed to break through and even take a companion who had built a castle. In principle, I was already planning to surrender, but when I saw the opponent's army, I realized that not all was lost :D Then, however, Tazar sent a meteor, and it became clear that everything was lost after all :rolleyes: Thanks for the game!

Updated the standings before the gaming weekend. ☻Two players have secured a spot in the playoffs even with an incomplete tournament – graalzzz and boovli. ☻Falcone has finished their group stage matches, but a spot in the next round is not yet guaranteed. ☻In group 1, 11 participants have almost one game left to play to complete the group tournament! ☻In group 7, there's a replacement. ProtosArchon is playing instead of MikeM; the played game Javdet-MikeM doesn't count towards the tournament (foresight, Roma ;) ). ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ The situation in the groups requires a shake-up :smile29: :smile29: :smile29: and a reprimand :smile19: :smile19: :smile19: In group 1, the problematic players are TT_HNK and Montt. In group 2, the situation is the saddest – only one game has been played. In group 3, Andres hasn't played any games. In group 5, it's also not great – the favorites, yan_vas and Palach HP, haven't played any games. In group 9, MoxuTo hasn't played any games. In group 14, Georg_ is not very active. In group 15, theShevanesian is also ignoring the tournament. In group 16, flate and Russel_lDHl haven't played. There's no news from the players mentioned. The first deadline is April 25th, and there will be corresponding conclusions. Candidates for replacement are Volland and Derbent.

Dark

Is it possible to arrange a late registration or replacement in the tournament? It's only the beginning anyway...

First, register. Then we'll see. Attention to those who joined the tournament late – there will be no special privileges regarding extensions, so try to gain the goodwill of your opponents. ‼Important‼ For those playing with simultaneous turns, be careful when choosing the deadlines, otherwise, there's a risk that players might miss each other on the map at different times, completely disrupting the course of events (such cases have already occurred).

The situation in group 2 is the saddest – only one game has been played.

Another one – I lost to Court, waiting for his report.
