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:

He took an empty main town from me through a dungeon, and then I surrendered. Thanks for the game!

It was a tough game; we managed to drag it out to the second month. I transitioned to Archmages, but lost my stack of ducks. There was map control, but I only saw one enemy hero. The game could have continued for a while longer, but my opponent conceded, lacking tournament motivation. Thanks for the game!

Sweaty match, we pushed it to the second month; I was going for Archangels, but lost my stack of ducks. There was control, but I didn't see any Dragon Utopia except one. The game could have continued for a long time, but the opponent conceded victory, having no tournament motivation. Thanks for the game!
Spent a long time without control, but 1000+ bones and Necromancy for +100-200 per turn under Gosh is no joke. A difficult, long match; 3 Dragon Utopia ones with captain hats naturally, but in the end, I found stats and strike magic. Thanks for the game!

I can't write a report about the game with ProtosArchon. It says that he is not registered.

Everything was very bad: weak defense and many small mistakes, not a single hive or Griffin Conservatory taken, but the opponent threw away an army against a max nagabank with a scout. Soon a battle occurred, and on day 126 I managed to kill Kreg in the main Castle with the remnants of the army. On day 132, a surrender followed.

Thanks for game!

Everything was very bad, weak performance and many small mistakes, not a single beehive was taken, not a single Griffin Conservatory, but the opponent fed their army into the max nagabank with a scout. Soon a meeting occurred and I managed to beat Crag in the main Castle on 126 with the remnants of the army. Surrender followed shortly after.

Thanks for game!

Thx for game.

Good match, 125 put in the 4th Mage Guild which has resurrect and chain lightning, and I would probably have built Dimension Door quickly. There was also Moon that killed several tough guards. Tirax with Wisdom and Earth. The opponent paid a lot of money for the red castle by the way, I don't remember how much, but something like 6k
Thanks for the game

Rollback 7k. Started with 2 heroes, the first week was very difficult, along the way I ran into moved treasure zone guard. Had to send the army off-road through a box for 50+ wolves, I broke through it with Brissa, got 5k experience. That's how Brissa became the mom.
On 117 I surfaced, through the stables I took a Necro secondary, clicked the Mage Guild to replenish mana. I took a couple of crypts along the way. Home is 1-3 with mushrooms.
121 - Shakti broke through his third adjacent zone via portal.
122 - found a 2-4 Griffin Conservatory on the opponent's territory. Broke through to this same opponent from the other side with Brissa, took a Dragon Fly Hive for 4 wyverns.
123 - took the purple opponent, then Shakti entered the Griffin Conservatory, having pre-checked it. A level 3, lost all wyverns, 120+ Troglodytes and 15 Evil Eyes.
124 - Griffin Conservatory was minimal.
125 - took a Dungeon village. Shakti got Air, Brissa got Intelligence.
126 - took a level 2 Griffin Conservatory with Brissa and 3 Angels. Built Mage Guild level 5 in Necro, Earth Elemental. Level 4 had Berserker and Resurrection.
127 - Dimension Door in Necro. Crashed there with Brissa. Shakti runs to the green opponent. Of the artifacts in 2 weeks, only found +2 spell power.
132 - never made it to the green one, Brissa entered a snow treasure zone, picked up boots, a box for 40 Gargoyles and a Dragon Fly Hive for 6.
133 - quest artifact and boxes for 5k experience and for all Earth magic. Got Heal)
134 - another quest artifact, then Town Portal to the nearest one. Via chain returned the quest artifacts, got 15 Master Mages and 20 Genies.
135 - returned to the snow, took a level 1 Dragon Utopia with a Red Orb and Cloak of Undead King (just right for a mage!). And an Armor of the Damned +1 to everything. Still no stats.
136 - Took Shakti with Dimension Door the Rampart village, which was blocked by treasure zone guard in the first week. There I took a mini Cyclops Stockpile, a level 3 Griffin Conservatory and an external dwelling of Green Dragons. Galthran clearly shines with better stats than mine + a lot of gold, I understand that the Dragon Utopia was also taken and better than mine.
137 - took a Sword of the Father +2 attack and defense, before that a chest gave a Shield of the Dwarven Lord +2, at least something. Then I picked up a quest artifact and immediately turned it in, got 15k experience for Coronius, leveled up Earth (first Earth magic for the whole game! still no Logistics for anyone). With Brissa I broke into a prison in a treasure zone and took a Hive for 8 Wyverns.
141 - Went via Dimension Door into the next treasure zone, there's a prison with Pikeman 5th level and Shackles of War. Further a max Hive. Made a double-mana for Shakti at home.
142 - picked up a Golden Bow, Orb of the Air, Helm of the Alabaster +3 in a treasure zone, then a level 2 Dragon Utopia with Tome of Air and Tome of Fire. Made Town Portal with Brissa to the nearest one, there Coronius picked up the troops and transferred them to Shakti, he jumped into the same treasure zone and picked up boots and a Sword of the Beastmaster +6.
142 blue - Galthran kills my Aine, standing on guard duty not far from the passage to one of the opponents he killed.
143 - I put Caitlin in Aine's place. Shakti took a Necklace of Supreme Magi +3 spell power and knowledge. Finally got Earth magic. I move Brissa around from the other side towards the opponent's adjacent zone.
143 blue - Caitlin is cut down by the enemy Ellegaard, and he casts Town Portal.
144 - Shakti took an experience box and a Hive for 6 Wyverns. Earth expertise, Town Portaled home, placed the Artifact Merchant, sold scrolls and other junk for 22k, transferred the army to Brissa, she with 2 Dimension Doors takes a Stronghold village. Spent about 15k on heroes for scouting from there. Then I crash Brissa into nearby Gremlins, and lead the army away with Shakti via Town Portal. Put Ciele in Caitlin's place.
144 blue - Galthran with Dimension Door reaches the village on his last step, takes it but doesn't manage to sit down.
145 - Via Dimension Door with Coronius I transfer the army to Ciele, whom nobody killed, she with Dimension Door reaches the important Inferno of the blue player (former brown). There sit 2 heroes, Luna with troops and Maras inside, with the Red Orb I kill both (though they were still zero-level anyway, but I didn't want to risk). Ciele gets Earth magic, but it no longer matters.
I crash with the boosted Brissa into Inferno, take the army, via 2 Dimension Doors return the Stronghold village. I check Gosha for Shackles, Orb and amount of mana, nothing there, only 30 mana. I decide to change everything and attack with Brissa with about 200 mana. Shakti upgraded 12 Medusas, bought a Shield of the Dwarven King +4 and Ring of Speed. With Brissa and Fly I took the Arena and attacked.
I stood in the corner, blocked the shooters. Immediately cast Frenzy with Prayer on the Angels, the shooters on the Efreeti. 2 Meteor Showers flew at me, painful, but they didn't hit the Angels. In the 2nd round I finished off the Efreeti with Lightning Bolt, and finished off the Angels with mine.
Well then just a few Implosions on the Bone Dragons and 1 on the Demons, the Shackles were equipped. A very difficult game, I haven't seen such bad skill progression in a long time, during the game no hero got Logistics and only in the 4th week did two heroes get Earth magic for the first time. Thanks for the game!

I chose a non-tempo start - decided to Necro on my own respawn - which was not tempo - I should have taken the opponents immediately. Closer to the end of the game the timer ran out and while returning the Citadel there wasn't enough movement to sit there and replenish mana. As a result, I was killed by the opponent's magic.
Thanks for the game and good luck further )!
