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 gathered what I had and went to the center. There, I luckily met a Warrior named Krellion, who had no elemental skills or spellbooks. After that, the game ended.
Thank you for the game!

I planned to take 112 because map wasn't anything special but then Brissa got earth on first levelup. I got trolled by map because my necro ai had 3 cons and perfectly placed stables, but they were inaccessible to me due to generation bug. Refugee camp compensated this with an archangel which let me take my 1 cons (mini) and 2 stockpiles so I could get lvl5 guild with library. Guild was nice to me with DD first try and TP on rebuild. Resurrect scroll helped me take first tope which gave red orb and blue hat. Blue hat allowed me to take next maxi tope with implo and it gave +3all and +12 attack. I saw red heroes in supertreasury and went for the attack, found army on scout. Thanks for playing!

Ivan gave up because 90+ obsidians got morale first round. My map was rather bad, I followed road for 5 days and then got blocked in corner treasure. Thanks for the game!

The opponent retreated, and I still had 1 left. Seeing the fish at the start, I thought I'd have to rely on luck, but then Labetta and Damacon arrived, and digging a bit deeper, Gosha was found — we play.
On the 1st week, I captured the corner dungeon village, and without much effort, the birds in the fort were taken.
At 122, Galtran clears the box for 15k experience and experts wisdom, air, and earth. At 124, I eat Pandora for full air, place 4 GM in the village (without TP), and find an external dwelling of angels near the same castle — everything looks great, but that's where the pleasantries end...
On subsequent levels, Gosha starts catching trash in the form of ballistics and water + the last slot has to be taken by tactics, thus remaining without logic and attack.
TP is only granted on the 4th attempt, and DD not until the 7th rebuild at 144, when there's practically no timer left and the opponent begins to overtake in captured zones.
Fortunately, the angels built on the 3rd week (and archangels at 141) in the castle with the external dwelling and a couple of dungeons with portals allowed me to maintain an army advantage.
After receiving the coveted DD in GM, several supps from a low start seize control of the map in a few moves, pushing out almost all of the opponent's key cities.
The opponent's attempt to push back the castle was unsuccessful, and surrender follows at 211.
Then comes a conditional finale in the field, where 25 archangels and 2k bones under Gosha eventually crushed the opponent's quite impressive army with an alliance...

Thanks for the interesting game and series!

Thank you for the game!

The neutral morale at 113, which turned all the goblins into minus units, transformed a below-average map into a very bad one. Then came impassable blocks on the long roads, a complete lack of objects for troops, money, and very few resources under GM.
Seeing that Gunnar took the utopia with a full army, I decided not to drag it out and surrendered.

Thank you.

The opponent rested, and I still had 1. Seeing the fish at the start, I thought I would have to rely on luck, but I got Labeta, Damacon, and, digging a little deeper, I found Gosha – let's play.
In the 1st week, I captured a corner dungeon village and, without much difficulty, the birds became forts.
On day 122, Galtran defends a box worth 15k experience and masters wisdom, air, and earth. On day 124, I eat Pandora for all air, place 4 GMs in the village (without teleport), and find an angel stash near the nearest castle – everything looks very good, but that's where the pleasantries end...
In subsequent levels, Gosha starts getting garbage in the form of ballistics and water, and I have to take tactics in the last slot, thus remaining without logistics and attack.
Teleport is given only on the 4th attempt, and DD only on the 7th rebuild on day 144, when there is practically no time left, and the opponent starts overtaking in the captured zones.
Fortunately, the angels built in the 3rd week (and archangels on 141) in the castle with a stash and a couple of dungeons with portals allowed me to maintain an army advantage.
After getting the coveted DD, several supports with a low start in a couple of turns take control of the map, squeezing out almost all of the opponent's key cities.
The opponent's attempt to take the castle was unsuccessful, and on day 211, they surrender.
Then there was a conditional final battle in the field, where 25 archangels and 2k skeletons under Gosha still crushed the opponent's rather impressive army with an alliance...

This time I bought a Tower even more expensive and it paid off)
Large respawn with cons and resources, the road to the exit was one-way, but there were 4 hives. Fought them for a long time with Solmir in search of the small one. In the end, I found something to start with. On 132 with GM5 and a Dimension Door scroll, I jumped out of my dead end for the teapot. On 134, I reached one of the opponent's cities, and a surrender followed.
Thanks for the game and the series! 2-0

My opponent has an overpowered "chocolate" army :smile10: on a map where they shouldn't have so much money; they had everything covered, plus a thriving external market – it's a complete circus. Meanwhile, I have a base with barely any gold, just a standard setup for this map, a tiny one :smile18:. I can only win like this:rolleyes:.
Thanks, Generator, for giving me two games in a row where I win easily.

The first stage of the 1/32 finals has concluded. Almost all pairs managed to complete their matches within the allotted time. Moreover, the players Antiplayer and saneok quickly reached the quarter-finals and will compete against each other (surprisingly). The heavy lower half of the bracket has become somewhat lighter. An extra day has been added for the pair herolwy-graalzzz due to a temporary issue. This could be used by the pair caliban-boovli, although both participants are technically disqualified due to ignoring the tournament.

Check your ICQ, I wrote to you that boovli withdrew from the tournament.

I don't have you in my contacts either. There were no messages, accordingly. And if you write to ICQ, wait for confirmation that your message has been received. But this applies to you.
As for the opponent, he didn't write to me - neither in ICQ nor in a private message, although he was on the site; at least yesterday and today, he had activity on the site.
That is, I have no reason to make a decision based solely on your information.
