He hasn't been in OFB for 2 years now. Daddies avoid him, many consider him small and unbalanced, unworthy of determining skill.
So be it. This tournament is for true connoisseurs of the versatility of this wonderful game.
Heroes isn't just XL maps!!!
I present to your attention a tournament on one of the most unpredictable and dynamic templates:




Start - in zones 1 and 2. Contents of these zones: 500-3000 (9), 3000-6000 (6), 10000-15000 (1). They contain wood and ore mines. Monsters - medium. There is a passage between the starting zones, guarded by strong guards (ГО) (45000). Additionally, there are exits (6000) to 3 zones equivalent to the starting one in content (4, 8, 6 for the red player and 4, 8, 7 for the blue player). They contain random towns with a fort. Usually, from the starting castle there are 3 roads - to the guards and to 2 of the three secondary zones (different ones for different players).
From each zone 4, 6, 7, 8 you can go to 2 treasuries (3, 5, 9, 10). Passage guard - 6000. In zones 3, 5, 9, 10 there are no roads and towns, monsters are strong. Zone contents: 10000-15000 (9), 15000-20000 (6), 20000-30000 (1). They contain gold mines and 2 valuable resource mines.
The landscape of zones 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 is determined by the type of town in that zone; 3, 5, 9, 10 are arbitrary.
The base sizes of all zones are the same.

Prizes:
The tournament winner will receive the "daddy" status in the online lobby for one year,
as well as a spot in FB-13 (if the tournament gathers 64 participants).

I took 112, then the elf external dwelling was surrendered, but from the scout it was visible that there was a small empty respawn and one road to the second map. Nevertheless, I started playing. On the first, I took the swamp; horses were at home in the fort, and I was constantly short of money.

On the second, via off-road, I entered a treasure zone and with 30 grands, a couple of pegasi, and one horse (didn't have money for others), I micro-managed the elves for Pandora and 10k experience. Further in the treasure zone there was nothing breakthrough, so I ran to the second map via off-road, where Kirry caught me. I had 30 grands, 3 horses, a couple of pegasi, and various same-tier units; the opponent had 9 ducks, 2 hydras, 4 mages, 8 basilisks, and others. Oil followed; I still managed to close myself in a corner but shot some. I would have bought my way out with grands, but couldn't because of the ballista. Tried to run around a bit, but morale didn't trigger. In the end, I bought my way out for 7 grands.

On the third, the opponent went to finish me off; I decided to intercept the Tower from them, but on the way I found an entrance to a treasure zone and went there. In one week in the treasure zone, I ate 5 hives, shield +12, sandals, flask, speed cloak, Dragon Utopia level 3 with a cap, kettle, and water book. All my cities were taken, but I returned as a loser from prison via DD to 145; same-case Mephala spent the night in the tavern. Then Kirry flew into the treasure zone on lava, which I had scouted long ago (killed elves there on the second), and I placed Mephala not far from this treasure zone, but didn't intend to catch them, simply didn't think I could reach. Kirry collects a box and fire book there, breaks through the box behind hydras. On my turn, I use vision — no mana there, stats are an order of magnitude lower than mine, I count moves — I can reach. I took the box that the opponent was breaking through (got pits) and caught them on the last move. Apparently, they didn't have enough to buy their way out, and the opponent didn't want to run, so I kill Kirry, get wings and everything else. Thanks for the game!

Took 112, then gives up the external dwelling of the elves, but from the scout tower you could see a small empty respawn and one road to the secondary. Nevertheless, I played. On the first week I took the swamp, at home the cavaliers were in the fort, and there was always not enough gold.

On the second week I went through no-road into the treasure zone and with 30 Grand Elves, a couple of Pegasi and one Cavalier (didn't have gold for the rest) I killed the wood cutters for a Pandora's Box with 10k experience. Further in the treasure zone there was nothing piercing, I ran to the secondary through no-road, where Kyrre catches me. I have 30 Grand Elves, 3 Cavaliers, a couple of Pegasi and various small units, the opponent has 9 Dragon Flies, 2 Hydras, 4 Mages, 8 Basilisks and the rest. A shootout follows, I eventually corner myself, but I didn't shoot much. I would have bought back with the Grand Elves, but I couldn't because of the ballista. I tried to run around a bit, but the morale didn't kick in. In the end, I bought back with 7 Grand Elves.

On the third week the opponent went to finish me off, I decided to intercept his Tower, but on the way I found an entrance to the treasure zone and went there. Over a week in the treasure zone I ate up 5 Dragon Fly Hives, shield +12, Sandals, the Potion of Immobility, the Cape of Velocity, a third-level Dragon Utopia with the Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment, the Still Eye of the Dragon and the Book of Water. They took all my towns, but I returned as a scout hero from prison via Dimension Door on 145, Mephala was spending the night in the tavern just in case. Then Kyrre flew into the treasure zone on a Lava (which I scouted long ago, where I killed the wood cutters on the second), I placed Mephala not far from that treasure zone, but I wasn't planning to ambush, I just didn't think I could reach. Kyrre collects a box and the Book of Fire there, clears a box with Hydras. On my turn I cast Vision — there is no mana, stats are way lower than mine, I count moves — I reach. I took the box that the opponent was clearing (gave Pit Fiends) and ambushed him on the last move. It seems he didn't have enough to buy back, and the opponent didn't try to run away, so I kill Kyrre, get the Wings and everything else. Thanks for the game!
The spawn wasn't bad, 3 roads, Kyrre, respawn not small. Decided to play. On week 1 I hired Hydras, took 1 secondary (Tower). On 121 I cleared the Dragon Fly Hive and the second secondary, on 123 the second one. On 125 I noticed the opponent, who was heading towards my second secondary. I placed a Freelancer's Guild there so the opponent couldn't sit it out and restore mana, and positioned Kyrre to ambush the opponent the next turn.
On 126 I ambush Mephala with 6 mana, cast Mass Slow. I took Mages with me, figured 13 mana would be enough for Slow and Blind. In battle I didn't even look, I forgot about the Pegasi. Then I could have prevented the elves from closing ranks by sacrificing the Dragon Flies. As a result, instead of losing 1-2 Dragon Flies, I was left with 2 out of 9. I saw the opponent was stalling to buy back, but I purposely didn't destroy the ballista).
On week 3 I bought back and decided to ride to the opponent, as I understood he was tight on gold.
I noticed the opponent within sight range of my Tower (I placed a lookout). I noticed the opponent rushed into the treasure zone, figured the opponent had a couple of Cavaliers and about 20 elves left, and decided there was nothing for him to catch there and didn't go after him, although I gave Kyrre Expert Haste and could have caught up in a couple of days.
I decided to clean up a Dragon Fly Hive in my treasure zone, took the cash at the third secondary and decided to lie in wait at the exit.
But the opponent somehow managed to fatten up in the treasure zone, apparently pulled some meat through a second passage from his last secondary. And ambushed me with good stats and no mana, although I was ahead in meat. Too bad, there really was a chance to win, but I relaxed too early.
Thanks for the game!

I chose the rest strategy, and on turns 121-122, I took two level 1 conscripts. I didn't build any birds, but I lost on the block. I was lucky that the opponent was affected by this template and didn't continue the game, giving me the win. Thanks for the game!

Got a Solmyr pendant, recruiter, and Griffin Conservatory on the first day. Naturally, I didn't restart, and neither did my opponent. I picked up Conservatory 1 and a box for upgraded wolves. Found a hut with Earth magic, albeit a bit far, but Crag Hack is an old acquaintance of mine, so I ran there just in case. Picked up 2 more Conservatories, doubled my mana, and headed to my opponent. Post-battle analysis showed I went just in time — with Dimension Door, my opponent would most likely have outplayed me. Thanks for the game!

We played hide-and-seek with Nagas against two hide-and-seek Unicorns. I reached the treasure room faster than my opponent, found some hives and artifacts that boosted magic stats. I leveled up my Tazar nicely and on day 136, I stormed in and took out my opponent's main hero. On day 142, my opponent tried to defend with a level 7 Müllich, but I overwhelmed him and killed him. Then I surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

The opponent caved with an awkward block on one of the roads at respawn. I had nothing juicy. Nagas at Citadel. I caught Crag Hack (2 bears, 7 birds, 5 tier-1 units) on the secondary. I have 5 nagas, 8 mages, 15 gargoyles + 4 archers. The plan was to kill the bears and buy troops, but it turned out to kill everything entirely.
