Dear fans of Heroes of Might and Magic II. Continuing the wonderful tradition of uniting heroic internet resources, we invite you to play online as a friendly community!

Today, April 17, 2008, registration opens for this grand joint online tournament! Registration will last until April 24, 2008, 15.00 Moscow time, after which the tournament will begin on April 25!

The game rules are standard. By mutual agreement, players may discuss them before a match and change them at their own discretion, but we do not recommend abusing this. You can find the basic rule model here.

- A rule has been added prohibiting the picking up and use of Anduran's Armor as a single random artifact. Individual components and the assembled armor are permitted.

Tournament Regulations:

The tournament is conducted in 2 stages: 1st - group stage, 2nd - semifinals and final using an Olympic system with a battle for 3rd-4th place!

After registration, players are randomly split into 2 (or 4 - depending on the number of participants) groups, where they play in a round-robin format, meaning everyone plays everyone else, fighting to advance from the group. Two players advance from each group to compete in same-stage matches for the semifinals and final. Other players from the group play against each other according to their ranking; for example, the 3rd place finisher in Group A plays the 3rd place finisher from Group B, and so on. After this, a final tournament table is compiled based on the games played.

Tournament deadlines are not fixed; in case of delays, judges have the right to set them for specific pairs individually, but no less than 2 weeks. In the group stage, matches are best-of-1 between opponents; in the semifinals and final, best-of-2. Players must report technical problems and the inability to start a game with any opponent to the judges via ICQ (recommended), private messages, or email.

In case of technical problems and the inability to play, judges will review the situation and make a decision based on player notifications. A player who does not maintain contact and fails to explain the reasons for a long period may be given a technical defeat, up to disqualification from the tournament!

Players may voluntarily agree to a draw; in this case, they are awarded 1 point each for the game played, 2 points for a win, and 0.5 for a loss. If players cannot finish a match and do not agree to a draw, they must provide the judges with the save file of the last day, on the basis of which the judges have the right to make a decision on the match!

List of maps designated for the tournament:

PPRReeeDDSS(necr,necr) def MikeHP(sorka,sorka,host), 136, SpellCaster. (1 game)

From the first 3 treasure chests, I got 1000 resources and 2 useless artifacts. There are no archers in the guild, no melee units at all, and I didn't find even a small amount of mercury in the first week. The artifacts they gave were quite good: a level 3 artifact – a bag of sulfur, and a level 2 artifact – a book of elements. And then, unexpectedly early in the first week, my opponent showed up at my starting town and attacked my hero with half of his army. To have at least some defense in case of a castle siege in the first week, I built a level 2 guild. After building dragons in the first week, my opponent could have easily defeated me with a 1-2-2 or 1-2-3 army composition, but he decided to prolong my suffering. I was only able to build Phoenixes on 1-2-7, after exchanging all my resources for mercury. My hero's stats are more than twice as bad as my opponent's. I went to look for a last chance at the wizard's town, killed 2 of his heroes, but as a mockery, I only received promissory notes from them. In the castle at the end of the third week, the computer didn't build giants, and even the guild of mages was only level 2. There was no point in continuing.

PReDS (Warlock, Barbarian, Host) def Lovelass (Warlock, Barbarian), Birthday Cake, 142. The Barbarian arrived immediately, on the first turn, cleared the wood, ore, crystals, and mercury. Then he waited for growth, playing with 3 heroes. On the first and second days of the second week, he captured gems, sulfur, gold, and boots. On day 127, he placed dragons and skipped turns for 3 days, saving money for a buyout. On day 134 (or maybe 133), he cleared the Cyclops on the path to the Necropolis, took the sword, killed 1 hero hanging around nearby, and captured the castle. (He lost 4 gargoyles and 2 minotaurs in the process). He went to the Mage, capturing it at the end of the third week. On the fourth week, he took the second Necropolis and, with a full bag of resources, visited. In the final fight, 7 ZDs each, but I have a full set of horned creatures, about a dozen gargoyles, and some centaurs, while the opponent only has 2 hydras and 1+1 goblins. Stats are 18-8 against 10-8. I lost a gargoyle while taking retaliatory damage and 1 ZD. Thank you for the game.

Dear participants of the joint online tournament! A considerable amount of time has passed since the start of the tournament. Many excellent matches have been played, and a significant portion of the results are in. However, the tournament is subject to the laws of the Universe: everything that has a beginning must also have an end... In light of the above, we kindly request that all participants who have unfinished matches indicate their willingness and the timeframe within which they can complete the qualifying stage of this tournament. Please let us know by September 22nd. Sincerely, Your judges.

I have one unplayed match with Oxygen. But what's even worse is that my internet isn't working. And because of this, we need to consider some options. A replacement, a third-place exit, an automatic advancement to the final from group A – it's up to the tournament committee to decide...

I don't even know what to suggest... By the way, Oxygen didn't play a single match in this tournament.
And where will we find the judging committee that will decide this?

P.S. What does it mean - the internet isn't working??

The judging committee consists of Dust, you, and Maximix. At least, that's what I know.
P.S. Akado has been dragging its feet; the internet hasn't been working since August 3rd. I've called them five times already, and they keep saying they'll send a technician soon. I'm still waiting, calling them from time to time. And I can only access the forum from work...
