How is the Tournaments going? I'm curious! Tell us a little bit about it.

See the post above - /topic/at/115846/) :D

Well, the games in the sixth group have ended. Despite everything, Mr. Judge emerged as the winner. Kamikaze (Inferno, Pyre) : Dudge (Stronghold, Dessa) - 0:3 In the final match, we got a mega map from Kolbasser, you know which one. In general, it seemed like we were developing equally. That's what the final battle showed. Only a slight advantage in units of level 5 and 6 was on the opponent's side. And now, about why I lost! Firstly, I probably didn't get the Air magic, which was the main reason. And secondly, I ran out of time to finish my turn about three times. I have ATTACK + DEFENSE + EARTH MAGIC. Therefore, my units fought with all their might. Dudge has AIR + EARTH MAGIC. The stats are practically equal. I lost, but in a fair fight, which is pleasing, maybe I'll be luckier next time! Thank you for the interesting game, it was very long (10 hours of game time in two sessions).

Tomorrow is the last day of the group stage of our tournament.

"In the last match, we got a mega map from Kolbasser, you know which one." Perhaps some people know who Kolbasser is and what his map is, but couldn't you enlighten the less informed players and post the save files? :) Also, it would be good to know all the creators of tournament maps.

Some might know who Kolbasser is and what his map is, but wouldn't you mind enlightening those who are unaware and uploading the save files? :)

Thank you for the interesting game, it was really very long (10 hours of game time in two sessions).

I'll add that I didn't have enough resources, but I managed. Kamikaze played more correctly in some moments of the game. Thank you for a few nerve-wracking moments :D and still, I won :smile03:

Alex_R (Necromancer Galtran) & Mori@rt (Tower Ayna) 3 : 0
Map #1
I focused on skeletons because there weren't enough resources and money to quickly build up castles... by the end of the first week, I captured both castles, and at the beginning of the second week, I gathered level 1 units from all the castles - upgraded them to skeletons - and went to attack with 180 upgraded skeletons - against water elementals near the wharf... on the water, I gathered money and wood - and started developing two castles at once, having already gathered some of the water resources on the enemy's territory - the opponent surrendered... probably due to a lack of money and wood, although he also had 3 castles...
Victory date 1-3-3

Perhaps you could inquire: when will the semi-finals be held? Is it really the case that tournament participants cannot play one game per week, as evidenced by the games that have not yet been played?

Could you please tell me: when will the semi-finals be? Is it really the case that tournament participants can't play one game per week, as evidenced by the games that haven't been played yet?

I don't know about this weekend, but it should start next week... however, the question only concerns group 1 or 2, and even then, the organizer will probably schedule those games.

Yes, I think Ada will review the statements and excuses of all participants, gently scold them... and assign technical tasks.

As far as I know from the rules that have been in place since the beginning of the tournament, identical maps can only be played after all maps that both opponents haven't played on are exhausted. Seeing this report, I reread the rules, but didn't find such a clause.
I would very much appreciate it if the organizer would inform all participants in advance of any changes, amendments, additions, etc. to the tournament rules, and not just by correcting the regulations, but by creating something like an addendum in this thread so that participants can pay attention to a particular point that has been changed. Because I don't want to reread the rules every day to check for any changes. Thank you in advance.

Also, I would like to know how the maps are chosen for the participants now?

As far as I knew from the rules, which were in effect from the very beginning of the tournament, identical maps could only be used after all other maps had been played.

0_o Where did you read that? I'm curious! =) I don't remember anything like that!

Well, I'll definitely arrange the matches, and tomorrow all the matches for the quarterfinals will be posted. However, there are two matches left: Evgeny vs. "The One," and Reper vs. Herbert. These matches are strategically important, and even if I assign everyone a "0," it won't produce a result. These matches still need to be played, so we'll be waiting for them, as they say, "until the very end." I ask the players involved to hurry up; not only am I waiting, but the outcome of these matches will determine not only whether you advance to the next stage but also the composition of the groups. Regarding the maps: there are initially enough maps to play not only all the tournament matches but also with the possibility of tiebreaker matches. The rules never mentioned anything about repeating maps, and if there are any repetitions, it will be solely based on my judgment. For example, if I think a map is good and a particular player hasn't fully grasped its nuances, I might repeat it. However, I generally don't like giving the same map to the same player for a single tournament. All the new changes in the rules will be communicated to the players in a timely manner. Of course, I don't write to each player individually via private message or ICQ, but it will be posted in the tournament threads. I repeat once again that the rules never mentioned anything about repeating maps. As the organizer of this tournament, I reserve the right to choose the maps for the players; I don't have any specific system for this.

Gerb ERT (Barbarian, DESSA) & RAPER (Tower, NELLA) Map #6 - a slightly unbalanced and underdeveloped map! The beginning was not easy for Red - because the stone mine was inaccessible (if you only break through level 4)? And a Barbarian without a stone mine is like a tennis player without a racket (so it was tough for him)!!!! But for me, on the contrary, development went very well!!! Because I immediately upgraded Gremlins and attack!! =) Soon after that, I took the 2nd Castle!! Then, having gathered strength, I went underground, took my artillery, and headed towards the 2nd (on the territory of the opponent). After that, when I took his artillery, DESSA came to me (apparently, she was also going for the artillery!!) NELLA attacked DESSA and, having War Chains (which she picked up practically at the very beginning of the game), won with an advantage in parameters and a small one in the army!!!!! Although it was not easy... because DESSA had a good army!!....DESSA could not escape - The opponent surrendered out of hopelessness!!! The final battle took place at 2-1-5 somewhere - I don't remember exactly!!! I really want to sleep!!! Roma - Thank you for the game!!!!!!
