Tournament rules:
1. Games are played on the latest official version of the game. Currently – HoMM V: Tribes of the East 3.0, but this tournament uses the TE mod! By default, the game is played on the Ubi server. By agreement, the game can be played via the Hamachi program. You will find all three archives at the bottom of the message. The first contains map templates! In the second archive, unzip and take TE_1.5 from it, then place it in the UserMODs folder in the Heroes directory. (If you don't want to play, simply remove this file from the usermods folder; there will be no problems with saves, as the mod does not affect games that you started without it).
2. Game settings:
Turn time limit – 8 minutes.
Animation speed – maximum.
Fast combat – enabled.
Simultaneous turns – enabled.
Dynamic combat – disabled.
Ghost mode – disabled.
Autosave – enabled.
Game difficulty – hero.
3. Daily saves are mandatory. Since the game has autosave, it is recommended to save every 3 days.
4. Map selection for each game is done by alternately crossing out options from the list. The player who crosses out first is determined during the round draw (they will be listed first in the pairing). Currently, the following maps will be allowed for the tournament: Smile, Sun, Spider, Labyrinth, Leto, M3, Chaos.
5. Race selection: Before the game, a race determination takes place. For each of the two players, a list of all available starting races on the map is written down. In total, this gives 2*8=16 positions. After that, the players take turns crossing them out until only one remains unchecked on each list - these will be the races they play. At the same time, you can cross out both "bad" races from your list and "good" ones from your opponent's list. The sequence of crossings is as follows: 1-2-2-...-2-1 (that is, the first player crosses out one position, then the second - two, the first - two,... , the second - one). The player indicated in the pair (in the round draw) goes first. The hero is chosen RANDOMLY!
6. It is forbidden to use any bugs, undocumented features, cheat codes, or unofficial programs and modifications, except for the TE mod itself (and the Hamachi program).
7. In case of disconnection or game crash, the last autosave is loaded; players must accurately repeat all their moves up to the point of disconnection or crash.
8. In case of battles between players, a stalemate situation may arise (when neither player can win). In this situation, the attacking side must retreat or surrender (at its discretion). If the Shackles of War artifact is involved in the battle, if a stalemate occurs, the battle should be finished in AutoCombat mode.
9. Each player has the right to one restart no later than the second day (the end of the day is considered when pressing the button to pass the turn, regardless of whether the opponent has completed his current turn or not).
10. It is forbidden to recruit monsters in any way, with or without the Diplomacy skill. If you have recruited troops, they must be disbanded (fired). Exceptions: it is allowed to sacrifice recruited neutrals in sacrificial pits (Dungeon, Inferno). Using the Orcs' slave market for these purposes is prohibited. The "Diplomacy" skill itself is permitted.
11. It is forbidden to jump over monsters guarding the GO (jumping over walls is allowed) using the Astral Gate spell. That is, it is FORBIDDEN to jump into the starting zone of your opponent on maps that have a GO (Spider, Leto, Labyrinth) until all monsters guarding the GO are defeated. You can jump into all other zones. Including into the GO itself.
12. "Red rush" is prohibited, i.e., attacking with red units on the first day of the week with purchased reinforcements (the red player can attack on the first day, but not by purchasing reinforcements).
13. Games in groups are played according to a round-robin principle.
The top 3 from each group will advance and form a group of 6 people. In this group, all points from the first group stage are retained - games are played between opponents who did not play against each other in the group - something similar happens at the World Hockey Championships. Finally, after all games have been played, the top 4 places will compete in semi-finals: 1st vs. 4th and 2nd vs. 3rd. Based on their results, there will be a final and a match for third place. I hope I explained it clearly. With the appearance of the table, everything will be much simpler and clearer. It won't take long.
Report and submit reports Here, with the note "MOD Tournament".
I am deliberately launching registration for this tournament together with registration for the fixed version tournament because you learn through comparison. So, I suggest comparing your impressions of playing on TE and the regular version.
Of course, many thanks to Moz for providing the mod. I think he would be happy to answer your questions. His ICQ is 395-049-982
