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:

The map was very well designed, with a large and rich resource area. A Necropolis player came early, followed by a Barbarian player who immediately started claiming territory. I found a scroll of map vision, which revealed the path to my opponent's base. I also had shorter and more convenient roads than my opponent. I won due to the better map layout.

Thanks for playing!
Thank you, good luck in the future.

The setup without elves, and the road, immediately promised to be a long one. But a Griffin Conservatory, a market, and a stable along the road made things interesting. Lots of gold, so I bought cavalry in the citadel.
The road predictably led to a dead end — the central village. I also found an exit to a neighboring zone, but getting there would take 3+ days on snow-covered roadless terrain, so I focused on clearing the spawn and the central area.
The first attempt at the Mage Tower gave Resurrection, and on day 1 3 2, after the 4th rebuild, I got Dimension Door. My army: 7 Angels, 16 Dragons, a few cavalry, and 30 Dendroid Soldiers from the starting dwellings. Kyrre showed excellent leveling.
On day 1 3 3, Jedidiah jumps into my neighboring zone with a smaller army, heading to capture towns, but that was not to be. Kyrre takes a Dragon Utopia (1st with Armageddon's Blade), I transfer the army to a very well-leveled Ainaian with 140 mana and attack. My arsenal includes Implosion, Chain Lightning, Resurrection, Slow, and Mass Haste.
I handle the first final battle poorly — way too many unnecessary losses. The opponent escapes without an army.
On day 1 3 4, Jedidiah, with an Angel and some weak units, takes my village via a monolith and camps there. I attack again and kill him.

Thanks for the game. 1-0

The road predictably led to a dead end – the central village. I also found the exit to the adjacent zone, but I would have had to run there for 3+ days through snow-covered wasteland, so I focused on clearing the spawn and central area.
The mage guild gave resurrection on the first attempt, and on 132 with the 4th rebuild I get Dimension Door. My army: 7 angels, 16 dragons, a few horses, and 30 dendroids from the box. Kyrr is leveling up excellently.
On 133, Jedidite jumps into my adjacent zone with a smaller army, heading to capture towns, but that wasn't to be. Kyrr takes a Dragon Utopia (1st with Armageddon), I transfer the army to a well-leveled Ainaian with 140 mana and attack. My arsenal: implosion, chain lightning, resurrection, slow, mass haste.
I handle the first final battle poorly – quite a lot of unnecessary losses. The opponent flees without an army.
On 134, Jedidite with an angel and some small fry takes my village through a one-way portal and stays the night there. I attack again and kill him.

Thanks for the game. 1-0

Very bad roads for red, and I had to jump into zones near the opponent (there were no other options – I was simply surrounded on all sides). As a result, the opponent reached Jedidite, and we had a final battle where we lost roughly equal armies. I decided to take a risk and after 2 Dimension Doors jumped into a one-way portal that led to the opponent's village. I was quite a bit short of victory in the second final battle, but there was 13 spell power on a lich, and my army was already too small to withstand the blow under mass haste. Thanks for the game.

Average game, but I got Necropolis and good skills. There was a stable, and for the first week, I heavily focused on losing my starting army. By the end, I was left with only Psionic creatures. I got lucky with the money, captured a company, and slowly developed Necropolis and built a Grand Magus. But in the beginning of the third week, thanks to two excellent Utopia creatures, I didn't have to rebuild to a Grand Magus. As a result, there was a small skirmish with an opponent who paid a ransom, and then, after taking the third Utopia, I attacked the nearest town where a Shield was visible. That's where my opponent was, and he was supposed to pay a ransom against summons, but Ed made a mistake and lost. Thanks for the game.

no restarts, not much money, not much meat either, among the Necropolis, there's not much to find in terms of Vidomina and Necromancer units. In the Tower map, I found a stash of Giants behind the Mummies, and with the help of a Garrison, I managed to deal with them. I built a Naga Temple, and in the second encounter with the opponent, I killed his secondary hero. Then, he arrives with a Tantrum unit consisting of 270 skeletons, 8 Wraiths, 5 Liches, and some single units. I killed the Liches and a couple of units with the Mages, but the Tantrum, with only 14 mana, couldn't do anything against the mass haste with Archers, 7 Mages, 5 Nagas, 2 Giants, and 40 Golems. I kited and killed him without letting him escape. Thanks for the game! 2-1

Average distribution, but I played as necromancer and got good skills; there was a stable. For the first week, I aggressively spent my starting army, ending up with only own psychs. I got lucky with money, captured the company, slowly necromanced and built the Mage Guild. By the start of the third week, I didn't have to rebuild for the ready Mage Guild thanks to two gorgeous Dragon Utopias. As a result, a small skirmish with the opponent' same buyout, and then after taking the third Dragon Utopia, I attacked the nearest town where a shield was visible via one-way vision; that's where the opp turned out to be. He should have bought his way out against summons, but Ed made a mistake and lost. Thanks for the game.

giving out units without any restrictions, there aren't many resources, and not much meat either; among the Necropolis units, there's not much to choose from in terms of Vidomina and non-critical units. In the Castle, I found a stash of Giants behind the Mummies, and with the help of a Garrison, I managed to deal with them. I built a Naga Temple, and in the second encounter with my opponent, I killed his secondary hero. Then, he arrives with a Tantrum unit consisting of 270 skeletons, 8 Wraiths, 5 Liches, and some single units. I killed the Liches and a couple of units with mages, but the Tantrum, with only 14 mana, couldn't do anything to counter the mass haste with archers, 7 mages, 5 Nagas, 2 Giants, and 40 Gremlochs. I kited him and killed him without letting him escape. Thanks for the game! 2-1

Please assign an ODD (Online Duel Decider) to finish the second game with Jelen117. I am ready to play at the standard game time. I am tired of trying to arrange it myself. I often don't receive a response to half of my messages, and it is also not possible to schedule a game in advance - the opponent either remains silent, or responds a whole day later, or says "I have a lot of games and things to do."
