Posts from Summer-Autumn-Winter Tournament for fans of Heroes 4.

So, when will you finish the final? People are tired of waiting...

or have you decided to extend the tournament title to: Summer-Autumn-Winter-Spring-Summer-Autumn-Winter Tournament for Heroes 4 fans?


for reference: "people" means me :D

Kyle, you're not the only one. Also, a question for the particularly smart ones – when will the next online session be?

To all the players:D Please excuse us for not immediately implementing strict time limits, and I think many players relaxed because of this:(
The results will be posted this month. But one player will have the opportunity to change the result if they are interested in doing so :D
I have long asked someone to organize a parallel tournament with strict rules. :D
Without them, some players simply become too arrogant.
P.S. Since this is an unrewarding task :D, let someone else run the next tournaments ;)

I speak on behalf of the fans.
We are looking forward to engaging gameplay and detailed descriptions!
Luchik, your fans are always with you; we wish you the best of luck!

:smile43: Thank you very much! I'm just afraid I might disappoint you... But I'll still promise: I'll give it my all! :)

Argh! The Summer-Autumn-Winter 2007-08 tournament will be held soon...

Then it’s better to use summer-winter 07-08:D. Let them think that time has passed quickly)))

Well, the game between Lu41k and LeSHiJ-MaX is over; I might disappoint some forum members :o, sorry it turned out this way :smile39:.
In general, about the game. We played on the "Quiet World" map. We mutually agreed on the factions.
Lu41k, blue Nature
LeSHiJ-MaX, red Chaos
The game was very long, which was facilitated by the map, the difficulty, and the swampy terrain in the neutral zone. Development initially progressed with mixed success, but closer to the middle, I started to gain an advantage in development, and I managed to be the first to clear the neutral island and the neutral swamp on both sides of the river. Encouraged by my successes, I didn't wait for the main army and recklessly attacked Lu41k's cities, which was my biggest mistake. I quickly paid for it. Unexpectedly quickly, I was defeated (on Lu41k's next turn), losing heroes and all artifacts, and I was almost completely out of the game :D. Then, the features of the map helped me (I could move where Lu41k couldn't yet), and the remaining artifact, "Sailor's Cap." I positioned my troops so that Lu41k saw only a small part of them, while the main army was one day's march away, but in the fog of war. And then Lu41k made exactly the same mistake as I did, splitting her army and attacking with only heroes, which I defeated. After that, after recapturing the city and getting my heroes back, she split her army again, and this time I attacked Lu41k's army without heroes with my entire army. And since, in addition to the Chaos Demon and Ifrits, I had 4 heroes with Lightning Bolt and Confusion, I easily defeated the army without hero support :o. On the next turn, Lu41k attacked with the remaining heroes without an army, but it was already too late, and she was defeated.
If I misrepresented anything, please Lu41k, correct me :o
P.S. Thank you very much for the game, Lu41k.

Finally, the tournament that deserves to be called a semi-annual one is over!!! HOORAY! LESH, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE VICTORY! LUCHIK, SECOND PLACE IS ALSO VERY PRESTIGIOUS!:smile44: :smile44: :smile44:
And now I'll complain a little: a note to the organizers about such a long tournament.
P.S. I also ask the organizers to prepare the results for each player to calculate the rating. The format for preparation:
Nickname, wins (with which factions, number), losses (with which factions, number).

:smile14: !!!ONCE AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER AND THE PRIZE WINNERS!!!:smile14:

LeSHiJ-MaX, it's all absolutely true! Unfortunately, I offer my sincerest apologies to everyone who supported me and believed in me... Alas... but I lost:smile39: Quite deservedly! Indeed, Leshiy gave me a good chance when he lost his main Heroes along with all the artifacts... But, unfortunately, I missed that chance... And I even managed to lose my own... I acted too confidently, thinking that I could only defend the Castle under siege with Heroes... I didn't want to lose my army... Every unit was precious for the upcoming main battle! But, alas... My Druid was killed... And I simply didn't have time to escape with the General... I had to rescue the Heroes and go with the main army, which was quite well-equipped... and then I detached the Heroes... And I was severely punished... Although, in principle, I knew that this is how it would all end, but I decided to take a risk... In short, what can I say - I made a mistake and lost:(
But you learn from your mistakes... and again, I learned something new from the game! And besides, our mistakes with Leshiy added some adrenaline to the game... Because both of us had a chance... He certainly had a better chance, as he is a strong and experienced player! :smile02: So, his 1st place is well-deserved, and to be honest, if I had won, it wouldn't have been entirely fair! Because the fight was not for 1st place on a specific map, but for 1st place in the tournament... which I don't quite deserve yet.
But we must admit that every game with Leshiy has become a matter of principle! This is in the best sense of the word! Now, in the future, I will have to take revenge... And I believe that one day I will succeed! And not thanks to some accident or an unintentional mistake by my respected opponent, but precisely thanks to my own efforts, strength, and experience, which I still lack, but I am still learning in games with him, and with each new game, I acquire something new for myself! And also in games with other forum members :)
And now I want to thank Leshiy for the game; it was, as always, exciting, intriguing, instructive, and left a lot of pleasant memories and emotions!:smile01:

And now for the most pleasant thing!:smile12:

Congratulations to LeSHiJ-MaX on 1st place! :smile49: You really deserve it!:smile01:

Now for something not entirely pleasant, but necessary.

OptiMAL, I accept criticism and comments... We really dragged it out... I even think that our tournament will now become a legend (although it seems it already has) We are, of course, to blame...:( Oh well...
But it is still too early to draw conclusions... Pandora and Ar are fighting for 3rd place! And I think it would be unfair and wrong to deprive them of this opportunity! So, my opinion is: let's wait for the result of their game, so that we can officially end the tournament and determine the final three finalists, and again, without this game, it will be impossible to calculate their rating, which would also be wrong!
The tournament has already been too long, so I think no one will be delayed for a few more days! It will already become the longest tournament on our forum, so let's show understanding and a little patience!
Pandora and Arandor: play, but don't overdo it :) We are waiting for you... As well as Drakkosha and Starkhan: your game is not finished - your rating will suffer ;)
For now, we will prepare a report on all participants in this tournament (who have finished their games). Once again, I ask you to be understanding and patient!:o

Drakkosha and I will finish the game... I'm sure we'll do it during the winter break, that is, before January 8th.

And now we'll be rooting for Pandora! ;) Tanya, go for it, making it into the top 3 will also be great! Ole-ole-ole!

P.S. Congratulations to Leshy on the victory, Lu - and you're also very clever! ;) Hip-hip-hooray to the champion and the runner-up!

We are waiting for the results of the game Pandora:smile13: Arandor
And the game Starhan :smile13: Drakkosha for the ranking.
Here is a preliminary result.

Tournament Results
Place	Player Nickname	Clan affiliation at the end of the tournament
1	LeSHiJ-MaX	Undead Alliance
2	Lu41k	Order of the Phoenix
3-4	Pandora	"E pluribus unum" – "Out of many, one"
3-4	Arandor	Haven
5-6-7	ZYbr	---
5-6-7	Drakkosha	"The Keepers Of The Necromonicon"
5-6-7	Starhan	Homo homini

Please explain for those who are not in the know: 1. What does this mean:

5-6-7 ZYbr ---
5-6-7 Drakkoska "The Keepers Of The Necromonicon"
5-6-7 Starhan Man is a wolf to man - Homo homini

, i.e., I understand that

We are waiting for you... Just like Drakkoska and Starhan: your game is not finished - your rating will suffer

, but what does ZYbr have to do with it?
2. Are there only seven fans of Heroes 4? (if so, then with me, there will be 8)).
3. How can I play (preferably online, since I only have internet access at work)?

Please explain for those who are not following:
1. What does it mean?

I understand that
,
but what does ZYbr have to do with it?
2. Are there only seven fans of Heroes 4? (if so, then with me there will be 8)).
3. How can I play (preferably in offline mode, since I only have internet at work)?

1. This means that until Drakkosha and Starhan finish playing, it is impossible to accurately determine the places... who is 5th, who is 6th, who is 7th... It all depends on the difference between wins and losses! Without their game, the places cannot be determined, just as the 3rd place cannot be determined without the game of Pandora and Arandor!

For this tournament, an online rating is planned (the rating is still experimental), the table lists the participants and the Clans they belong to! ZYbr does not belong to a Clan, so there is a dash... But he played and his rating points will be counted, like everyone else, they will just not go anywhere other than the General rating for Heroes 4 online!

2. There are more fans)) Some of them just couldn't participate at that time, and not everyone likes online! We have great players in Heroes 4, but they prefer offline))) I hope they will delight us this year with their appearance in online tournaments))) ;)
P.S. This was a small hint to one person...:rolleyes: He will understand :)

3. You can play without any problems)) Around the middle of January, approximately on the 15th, the Offline tournament for Heroes 4 "New World 2" will start. As the official organizer, I invite you to participate in it! I will be glad to see you in our tournaments)

Sincerely, Luchik!
