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).

We sold Rampart for 4700. I thought for a long time about who to take as a starter, but ultimately chose the additional goblot. On the very first day, Mullich from the tavern. On day 113, we stuck a bear.
On the human secondary, we bought a spellbook and captured Boots of Speed.
Upgraded the bear in the castle.
Seeing no particular alternatives, we rushed (Mullich with Expert Earth and Tactics).
We didn't quite make it by day 123 to take the opponent's main (I didn't want to take risks, so I kept Mullich encamped in the clearing so that he theoretically couldn't be seen). On day 124, the opponent entrenched with a Citadel — with 1 Angel, 5 Unicorns, 15 Grand Elves, and 7 Mages. But Kyrre was barely leveled and had no spellbook. We had 3 Bears, 9 Thunderbirds, 25 Arbalesters, 30 Wolves, 30 Pikemen, 5 Orcs, and 100 Hobgoblins, plus some stats, plus Mass Shield and Mass Stoneskin. The finale was a sure thing: we cast Shield, charged the Grand Elves with the birds, got morale, then shredded the Mages. 5 Horses took down one bird and even blinded it, but that didn't change the outcome. I still don't understand why the opponent didn't take day 111: besides one Consul on the first day, there was nothing, and the central respawn as well.
Thanks for the game.
Thanks for the game!

Cowgirl, happy belated birthday! We decided not to play the extra game with Shevanesyan (scheduling conflicts for the next week). Therefore, based on the results of the group stage game, the victory goes to him. Sheva advances from second place, and I from third.

Double, and then even triple Citadel turned out to be stronger than the Minotaur lair. Thanks for the game!

Thank you. As you wish. Good luck!!!

Three cons on the respawn, Taz and a wagon of money said - play. There turned out to be so much money that I built angels in the first week. Then Taz got his horses and broke all the cons on the respawn, rode over to the secondary, another con and into the treasure zone. There were two Dragon Utopias with money and hello archangels, plus I discovered a stash on the low-level spot in front of the opponent's ГО when I visited. Thanks for the game.

The map seed is so-so, but the bears in the Castle were set up, 2 cons on 1 and 2, with the only exit being into the treasure zone in the swamp. I built up the tower in the Rampart, the control arrived, and I profitably traded my army for ducks and angels, oppa, and then on the control. I took back all the castles, his 2 Dragon Utopias, and in the finale, an explosion for 2600 overpowered the resurrection from tanta :)

I had 112 when the opponent had already resigned, and I managed to win. Perhaps, when the previous hand is completely unplayable, it's worth taking a chance and going for a lucky draw.

Thanks to the generator!

P.S. Is it true that version 1.40 plays less erratically than version 1.38.2?

I had 112 when the opponent had already resigned; I managed to pull through. Perhaps it's okay to rely on luck after a rollback only if the previous hand is completely unplayable.

Thanks to the generator!

P.S. Is it true that on version 1.40, it doesn't perform as poorly as on version 1.38.2?
not true

loot distribution was so-so, but the bears in Castle stood, 2 Griffin Conservatories on 1 and 2, the only exit was into the treasure zone in the swamp. I built a tower in Rampart, control came over. I profitably traded my army for the opponent's Dragon Flies and Angels, and then on control. I captured all the castles, 2 of his Dragon Utopias, and in the finale, an explosion for 2600 overpowered the resurrection from Tant :)
Killed a creep from the opponent for 137, took back my town, traded 5 Angels and 25 Dragon Flies for 1 Angel, 5 Bears, 50 Orcs, 50 Marauders, 11 Birds. In short, I wiped out the opponent's entire army. I had 500 Skeletons, 13 Horses, 15 Liches left. 100% win, go and kill the opponent. ))
Instead, I went into an empty treasure zone with 2 Dragon Fly Hives, spent a week without control, and handed the game to the opponent.

Thanks for the game
