Well, the save file will probably be given to players right before the game starts, and then the mechanism will be the same as in regular games. 2 loi I repeat, there's no point in playing on CMs (Challenge Maps). If you think there is, then make the save files yourself, because I don't want to be exposed to a flood of criticism from players who get the weaker side. And I don't have the time or desire to create balanced generations. Therefore, if I do make them, it will only be symmetrical save files, with a structure similar to CMs.

I have no desire to put myself in a position where I'll be the target of criticism from players who end up with a weaker side.

Vikk, alright, I'll be the one generating content tirelessly, but please help with evaluating the generated content. Like, if something is bad, just say "Loy, regenerate and give me 5 more variations by 7 PM." If you don't want to participate in generating saves, you'll be needed for analytics; you can't just back out of that. And I'll be responsible for everything, I'll be the one taking the heat if anything goes wrong. But I'll try to make sure there's a lot of positivity and that everyone understands that we can have enjoyable discussions, discussions that lead to learning new things. Everyone needs to understand that to really improve their skills and represent the World in inter-portal competitions (and they will happen, I know it), playing just 20-30 games a month, making the same mistakes, not optimizing gameplay, not working on mistakes, and not learning from the best examples isn't enough. This tournament format is designed specifically for that: a systematic and methodical approach to learning and improving skills. P.S. Another idea for consideration and criticism: What if we used the saves that were used for the report writing contest as the initial saves for generation?

Here is an example of what is being offered: http://slil.ru/26472611

Open it with the TE editor (h3wmaped.exe). The technology is the same for SoD.

Vik, it’s an interesting idea, but on such a map, an early encounter is guaranteed! Maybe we should put the Goblin Outpost between the two Metros?

I didn't experiment much with the settings; you can do it in various ways. For example, you can connect planes using one-sided connections.

Let's stick to generating standard random maps for now (2sm4d(3)) for this tournament. Later, we can organize a tournament using maps suggested by Mr. Vikkom.

If it's not too late, I'll participate. 482071082

I will play

If there are many players and everyone is playing seriously, we can play XL in pairs (and suggest it to other portals).

I'm all for it – I'm always ready (it's my dream), but it might take about a day.
