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).

Thank you for the game!

The map had a huge resource spawn with unpleasant steel guards on the secondary resources and slow roads. As a result, I only captured the secondary resource at the end of the second week, and it was my own - there was nowhere to build a level 5 town. In the treasure, I took wings from the Titans and a box for 5 devils (although I lost three of them to wizards with +3 all stats). I played the entire game without elemental skills, so the losses were sometimes severe. Earth was only maxed out by the finale, which still took place under the opponent's Castle.

The report indicates an incorrect time: the finale was on day 146.

Thank you for the game!

Is there anywhere I can watch replays from this tournament? :) I really want to learn how to play as SM, and this tournament is basically the only opportunity for that.

Of the semifinalists, probably only YaR actively streams; here's his channel
https://www.twitch.tv/yar_ki

If you dig around, I think you can find streams from this tournament among his recordings. Or catch the next online broadcast.

And as for tutorials on this template.. there are some old detailed videos for Citadel and Tower

Thank you! I've already watched those tutorials, and more than once :D It wouldn't be a bad idea to ask the participating veterans to stream more often :)

Besides Yar, the most notable streamers who participated in the tournament are:
Amiloo, Mizrael, Rayne, Toganash.
You can find matches from the tournament on their channels if you wish.
Or wait for the semi-final matches of YaR-Keba; we are in for at least 2 exciting games.

played poorly, made a slight miscalculation that wasn't quite on point, but still managed to execute the move. Thank you.
