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:

A very difficult start, we somehow managed to get things going. We dove under the opponent's nose into a super treasure, took a couple of drowned ones, and found control. The opponent was caught off guard with no mana and no magic protection. Thanks for the game. *The template was 6lm10a.

And why Jebus, or can he be used? Or is this an error in the report?

Why was Jeb selected, or why was he even an option? Or is this a mistake in the report?

Yes, it's a mistake; I selected him automatically. It was supposed to be the 6th option.

After the opponent's restart, I caught the moon and a couple of Necro armies; it played out very well through that. I took a Griffin Conservatory as a second dwelling on 115, then cleared the dungeon and leveled up Alamar to retrain resurrection, but from another overview I spotted a bugged passage to the opponent and decided not to drag it out. Conceding, thanks for the game.

It became clear this was not my day already on 111. The road twisting 400° around the Castle did not improve the situation: it was blocked almost immediately by 50+ Lizardmen. I ran around the remaining underground a bit, found a Dragon Fly Hive behind 20+ Monks, but by 122 the enemies had already arrived, canceling even the hypothetical chance to put up a fight.

Everything was going well — then Greendan came, I put Nagas in the Citadel. On day 122 I took a level-2 Griffin Conservatory, rushed into the microtreasure zone with one tail using Solmyrka, and into the supertreasure zone with Greendan. I killed a Barbarian computer; captured a dwelling of Horde Mites there and built them in the Castle. My supertreasure zone was largely empty — I only dug up some Pendants and a book there. I finally built Control by the end of week 3, and then came the surprise: I couldn't find a single Dragon Utopia. But I kept finding one Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Fly Hive after another. Even the fact that I attacked with a scout hero and lost 4 Angels, all the Horde Mites, and 8 Ducks to 32 Behemoths with Bless didn't change the power balance. Then I took a village from the opponent where he was building Control, kept his Green faction heroes on edge, also did the same with Solmyrka, and leveled up others. In the end, I trained an ideal Tyrax with the Logo and Control. On day 211 (!) I found the first Dragon Utopia, cleared it; then on day 212 I found two more in a corner of one of the supertreasure zones (I had almost cleared it, luckily they weren't far from the Castle), cleared them; then I retook the villages the opponent had captured after killing his last decent support heroes. After that, on day 213, he decided to surrender.

Thanks for the game!

Everything was going well, then Greendan arrived and placed Nag at Citadel. On week 2, day 2 I took a level-2 Griffin Conservatory, ran into a micro treasure zone with one tail using Solmyr, and into a super treasure zone with Greendan. I killed a Barbarian computer, captured a nest of Dwarves there, and built them up at Castle. My super treasure zone was largely empty, I only dug up some capes and a tome there. Afterwards, I finally built control at the end of week 3, and here's the surprise — I couldn't find a single Dragon Utopia. But I kept finding one Griffin Conservatory after another and Dragon Fly Hives. Even the fact that I attacked with a scout hero and lost 4 Angels, all the Dwarves, and 8 Griffins to 32 Behemoths with Haste didn't change the power balance. Next, I took a village from the opponent where he was building control, and kept him pressured with Green, then also with Solmyr, while training others. As a result, I trained an ideal Tyrax with Logistics and Control. On day 2, week 1, month 1 (!) I found the first Dragon Utopia, took it, then on day 2, week 1, month 2 another 2 in a corner of one of the super treasure zones (I went through almost all of it, fortunately they weren't far from Castle), took them, then took back the villages the opponent had captured after killing his last decent supports, after which on day 2, week 1, month 3 he decided to surrender.

Thanks for the game!

I started playing because two native computers were close by the roads, but they brought me no less harm than good, and resulted in two weeks that were too tempo-oriented while I fought them along inconvenient roads. In the end, I captured them, at the end of week 2 I took a level-3 Griffin Conservatory and began clearing treasure zones, didn't get meaningful stats from 3 Dragon Utopias (one, a level-3 one at that, turned out to be "fairytale": a bag of gold, a Blackshard, a vial of mercury, and ribs), but I did get essentially all the magic on Deessa. Foolishly I erased Gunnar, and the remaining supports had no Earth Magic and no Dimension Door. In the end, when the opponent started capturing villages, I wasn't quite ready, began falling behind in tempo, and there was nowhere useful for my main to go, so I decided to surrender. On top of all that, I was severely lagging on the timer, while the opponent had saved up theirs. Thanks for the game
