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).

Scroll of DD on the first map, Heroes of Might and Magic V on the second, then I mixed things up, took all the castles, and crushed you in the endgame. Thanks for the game!

Has anyone been able to contact Alexey88? He's not responding on Skype, and his VKontakte account is set to block messages.

Alexey88 has 1 message on the forum (presumably to sign up for the tournament). Why even include such people in the tournament?

Three paths to secondary heroes, plenty of money on respawn - and, as it turned out, the deal is as good as done: Tazar accumulates critical mass in time, but, as it turned out, the rush could have been done two weeks earlier - the opponent had rolled a very weak setup with no money or hiding spots, with just one path to a swamp secondary hero.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

Another great series. No armies, no artifacts, no stats, no magic.
Out of frustration, I went into a 2-player Utopia map with 7 knights and 16 ducks, and came out with 9 ducks. I got a hat, but it's useless without mana (Knowledge 3).
Thank you for the game.

This guy hasn't been in touch for the past few days; he was communicating with me privately before.
Since he hasn't started any games with anyone, I'm removing him from the tournament.
Benis will take his spot in group 9.

Why even include people like that in the tournament?
I was accepted into the "Outlaw" tournament by a well-known person on the forum, even though I only had one faction, and I'm very grateful to him for that.

So, Benis is taking Positive's place?
Shevaneysan seems to be next in line to participate.

Keba does not plan to replay the winning match with a substitute for Positiv.
Therefore, it would be unfair to Benis if he were to play with a loss, while Shevanesyan, who is just now joining the tournament in the same group, would start under more favorable conditions.
Shevanesyan has been offered options for joining the tournament.
I am waiting for his response.

The opponent spent three restarts in a row, then I built up a strong position, and he had a very bad game, surrendering on turn 121. Thanks for the game!
