Posts from DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

My rating on the old server was 1664, and on the new one, it's 1701.

Hello everyone!
I have a question about the tournament rules; I'm not sure if it's been discussed before, but I couldn't find the answer in the first couple of posts.

There's a rule:
"
2. Permitted actions, prohibitions, and restrictions

2.1.1. On all maps except those of size XL+U, "red-rush" is prohibited: the player playing as red is not allowed to attack on the first day of the week with reinforcements (i.e., troops that appeared at the beginning of the new week in the dwellings of the player's cities (towns) or in cities (towns) captured on that day from a human or computer opponent) or purchased on that day:
a) on a blue castle (even if the castle is not guarded);
b) on blue heroes or guarded mines, if the presence of reinforcements can affect the outcome of the battle or losses in the battle for either player.
"

Does this apply to artifacts?

P.S.
The situation was as follows:
First day, I'm red (I go first).
In the artifact shop in the wizard castle, the missing ring for the elixir appears (it was exactly on this first day that the artifacts were updated!).
I collect the artifact and, on the same turn, attack and win. This artifact significantly increased my advantage!


In my opinion, this is allowed.
But I would like to know the opinion of the experienced players.

It doesn't matter. It's permissible to do so.

I suggest removing the rule that prohibits bypassing staggered guard posts on all Large (L) and Large Plus Unique (L+U) map templates, except for the Grand Order (GO) template.

I suggest unifying the rule that prohibits bypassing staggered guard posts – it should apply to all map templates without exception. Whether it's a computer-controlled opponent or not doesn't matter.

I suggest unifying the rule that prohibits bypassing shifted guards at passages – it should apply to all map templates without exception.
Whether it's a computer-controlled opponent or not doesn't matter.

It would be better to simply remove it (leaving only the ban on bypassing guards). There is a point in simplifying the rules – it will eliminate a lot of headaches for both players and judges. Shifted guards don't create a bigger imbalance than when one passage is guarded by 60 golems, and another by 20 snipers.

It would be good to launch a poll and find out what the community thinks.

After moving to the new server, the rating system has been restored, automatic updates have been configured, and the display of the last update date has been added

Not all games are displayed in the ranking; for example, there are no results for games in the OFB-12 tournament. It seems that there are also no results for games in other tournaments (besides the seasonal one).

All my games are reflected in the rating, including tournaments and seasons.

You don't participate in OFB and mirror matches, at least the results from these two tournaments don't count towards the rating. But the results from SM do count.

If something isn't being taken into account in the ranking, please let us know what should be considered, and we will investigate and correct it. Currently, there are no reports in the database that are "confirmed" and not "canceled" but are not included in the ranking. On the contrary, the ranking currently includes 26,507 reports that have the status "confirmed" and are not "canceled." On the player's ranking page, the table with reports can now be viewed in more detail; filters have been added, and there is also a list of tournaments in which the player participated; all of them are included in the ranking. I hope this will make it easier to find the information you need. http://www.heroesworld.ru/?news_id=499

Great filter. Very convenient :smile54:

What are the rules for calculating points? After two wins, the game reports are available, but the points haven't increased. It would be helpful to specify how many points are lost when losing and how many are gained when winning.

And I also noticed that at this link http://heroes3stat.appspot.com/rating, I have played 258 games, but in this ranking, there is one game less - 257.

Added after 21 minutes
The number of games is actually 258 in both rankings, meaning that the total is simply calculated incorrectly in this ranking.

Has the display of the player rating based on their morale been implemented recently? I just noticed it now.
