Greetings to all HoMM 4 players!

So, this is the first tournament of its kind. Anyone who wishes to participate can join. Simply submit an application in the format: Nickname, ICQ. Example:

OptiMAL, 494212392

TOURNAMENT RULES

1 The tournament consists of 3 stages. The first stage is divided into 3 mini-tournaments; the others consist of only one mini-tournament. The game version is by agreement. If no agreement is reached, the standard version is Winds of War 3.0. The game is played via the Hamachi network.

Hamachi tournament network details:

LOGIN: OlimpicGames
PASSWORD: 123

"""For the tournament, we have created one network for all participants, who can connect to it independently via the Hamachi program (you can Download it here http://files.hamachi.cc/HamachiSetup-1.0.1.5-ru.exe), regardless of whether the creator is online or not.
For those who have never used this program, I'll try to explain briefly: First, install it on your computer (select the basic version during installation). Then connect to the Internet, wait for Hamachi to fully load, click the "join network" option, and enter the network name and password in the window that appears."""

2 Now, more details about the stages.

---2.1 The first stage consists of one Competitive match: a battle with 4 Barbarian, 2 shooters, and 1 mage, provided they are all level 1 and the mage has no attack spells. There are 3 battles in total. The winner of the encounter is determined after these three battles. IMPORTANT: Before attacking, skip a turn to give your opponent a chance to deploy their troops!

---2.2 The second stage consists of one Competitive duel between heroes with troops provided by the map. There are 3 battles in total. The winner of the encounter is determined after these three battles.

---2.3 The third stage also consists of one Competitive match — a duel between heroes with troops, but you must assemble the army yourself. No towns, based on dexterity. There is only 1 battle here.

Tournament Format

3 The tournament is conducted using an Olympic bracket. The bracket with the participants will be posted here, in this post. I believe you are familiar with this tournament method.

4 In case of cheating, the player will, of course, be disqualified from this tournament and the next 2.

5 REGISTRATIONS FOR THE TOURNAMENT ARE CLOSED. The tournament starts at 20:00 Moscow time! Very important: one week is allocated for the first stage of the tournament (until 4.01.08 inclusive)!

6 If the game crashes and displays an error, take a screenshot!!! If there is no screenshot, the battle is replayed. If this happens a second time — it's a technical defeat for the battle!

And on average, how long does one battle last?
I'm currently struggling with my modem, and I'll only switch to an unlimited data plan in 2-3 weeks.

On average, how long will one battle last?
So, there will be a battle right away in the first and second stages. Therefore, the battle time depends on how much time you spend on it (it can range from 5 minutes to an hour). As for the third stage... Considering that you have a modem, the game will take an average of 2 hours.

I would like to see Bason, Leshy, and Pandora :)
The tournament should be interesting and attract new players, but I don't quite understand the tournament rules, so I'll refrain from participating for now. :)
"Why, if you have a set of chess pieces, limit yourself to playing checkers with them?"
Even with the same order of applying a series of attacks, the result can be different. It depends on the strength of the attack that goes through. For example, a Barbarian's attack can range from 16-24, and it might be 16 or 24, and so on, several times.
But most likely, the one who attacks second after skipping a turn without a response will win.
So, if I understand correctly, there isn't much room for strategy here, and luck plays a big role.
I'd like to see examples of all the stages. :)
Then we can talk about participation.

Lesha, you see, if we have everything – heroes and castles – it will be just another ordinary online game that lasts for half a year (I don’t consider such tournaments to be serious. Our conditions are too lenient). I just decided to conduct an experiment. Chance plays a role, but still: I played against myself and concluded that you can’t rely solely on chance. In general, this is simply a new type of tournament (in which one plus one – it doesn’t take much time and makes the tournaments dynamic) that needs to be tested (this tournament is not for rating). It’s up to you. P.S. If the participants don’t like the first stage, then it can be excluded. Or make it not 1 on 1, but 7 Barbarians against 7. Or even better: 4 Barbarians, 2 Archers, and 1 Mage! Combine all 3 competitions! How do you like this setup? I think chance won’t be the only factor here.
:D

Or maybe it would be better to take at least pairs of heroes in the first stage?:rolleyes:
Barbarian + archer, barbarian + mage, and mage + archer. Then there will be fewer random events and more tactical options.

Even a 33.6 kbps modem will be sufficient for this tournament :)
Would my unlimited 100 Mbps connection be suitable?

But will my unlimited 100 Mbps connection work?
Well, 100 Mbps is definitely not suitable. It's too slow :)
In general, it's the speed within the local network to which you are connected :) So, it's not the internet speed :)

THE FIRST STAGE HAS BEEN CHANGED! CHECK THE FIRST POST
:D

I don't know about the speed, but what should I do about the parents?

I don't know about the speed, but what should I do with my parents:smile12:?
Speed isn't a big deal, the main thing is the desire:)
Just tie up your parents and lock them in the closet for the duration of the game:D
So, will you be participating in this tournament?
:D

I'm not sure. Can you get disconnected during a tournament?
P.S. Let's use informal language, I'm only 13.

I don't know for sure. But can you disconnect during a tournament?
Hmm... I think if there's a need for it, then you can. But you need to finish the stage you're currently participating in.

P.S. Let's just use "you" since I'm only 13.
It doesn't matter how old you are, we're always happy to have new players on our resource, especially for Heroes of Might and Magic IV :)

Sure, approximately how long will it take?

Okay, but approximately how long will it take?
It all depends on how the game progresses for all the other players. The first stage will be quick, the second will be slower, and the third will take about six months:D. Just kidding, the third stage will take about 2 hours of gameplay per match if you play at an average pace and with an internet speed of 33.6 kbps:D.
:D
