I myself recently started playing on different maps, and after Might & Magic 6 and Spider, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes seems somewhat lackluster. The thing is that all the tactics and strategies in Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes have been studied and refined to a mirror-like shine, and for me personally, playing Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes doesn't hold much interest – what kind of skill growth can there be here? In my first game of Might & Magic 6, I simply got lost on the map due to the abundance of options – there's so much room for meaningful gameplay, rather than just mindlessly rushing to conquer the main city in the second or third week! IMHO, if World of Xeen continues on the path of exploring new versions and maps, then in 3-4 months it will be on par with the Portal and Bay, and in half a year it will surpass them.
Vik, you should be a coach here :) who knows, maybe at the next interportal, World of Xeen will be tearing everyone apart ;)

Things have stalled with us... I suggest we open registration for the qualifier for the TOP-10, and start playing in about 2 weeks. We'll decide how to make it interesting based on the number of participants in the qualifier. For completeness, ALL interested players should participate, regardless of skill level or chances of making it into the TOP.

Then I'll be the first to sign up:D. ICQ 430-405-413.

would also like to play in the qualifying round 411833496

We'll decide how to get creative based on the number of participants in the selection process.

At the very least, we should play something XL+U instead of small-sized maps.

At the very least, you should play with XL+U settings, not with smaller ones.

Why????

With 8MM6 and similar games, you can scare people. For starters, you can use
CMs... Everyone has their own preferences.

I'm for SMs, or at least starting with them!

Guys, can someone take on the organization? I'm primarily addressing Eugene and Invis. Create a thread while people are registering – we can discuss the rules and format there. The main thing is to get started =)

Regarding templates – yes, we're getting tired of the same old ones. As a compromise for the qualifying round, I suggest alternating between the standard map, 8mm6, and Jebus (for example, round 1 – standard map, round 2 – 8mm6, round 3 – Jebus, round 4 – standard map, round 5 – 8mm6, round 6 – Jebus, round 7 – standard map). I've actually fallen in love with Jebus, and after playing it, I'm sick of the standard maps; 8mm6 doesn't appeal to me as much. We need to use more templates and diversify the games; otherwise, we won't learn how to play.

P.S. My ICQ has been stolen – I can't communicate personally.

People mostly play SoD here. Jebus Cross, 8mm6, Spider and so on are kind of sketchy on SoD... IMHO if it's SoD, then CM ONLY!

Haha, let's just keep living in the Stone Age. What's wrong with that? We sit around, drink beer, and nothing bothers us; everyone's happy. If we're just playing for fun, then let's drop the topic of "TOP," interportals, or skill improvement. Why do we even need any of that?

Organizing such a tournament is not easy, and there are many inconsistencies, so we need to think carefully about everything, discuss it, and consult with other players. Everything will work out. Perhaps the concept of the tournament will change slightly, but it will happen.

Ha, let's continue living in the Stone Age.

We always need to move up the ladder gradually. Start with regular SMMs (Single Map Matches), which players are used to here, and then introduce other templates. We need a quorum to get started.

If the goal is to identify the top 10 (or 20) players, then a standard map template should definitely be used, and for those who want to improve their skills, there could be a large number of tournaments on different map templates...
I also want to participate!!! :)

What if we did this? In the highest league, only the winners of major Tournaments held on our forum and the winners of the seasonal ranking would constantly play; the rest would qualify through a qualifying tournament. Looks like I've remembered everyone. Alex R, Uran, Pit are the winners of official seasonal online Tournaments, even if they were on fixed maps, initially organized by Adelaide and now by Evgeny. I don't think anyone doubts the skill level of these players. Dudj, Invisible are the winners of major Tournaments held this year on random maps, even if they are not official, but they attract a decent number of players. Scorp, Vitalik, Dubrovin Pavel are the winners of the seasonal ranking. That is, people who, in one way or another, have entered, albeit a small, but still, the history of our forum, who have put a lot of effort into winning, because you can't succeed without effort. Maybe I forgot someone... Let's say, 2-4 places can be played in a qualifying tournament, that is, new players can also qualify and play in the highest league, but the core will be made up of those who raised the online presence on our forum with their victories. If Stinger or Paladin win the highest league, well, let them, they will also train ours. Explanations... 1. What to do when the number of deserving people exceeds ten, when there are new Tournament winners, new seasonal ranking winners? We can hold group Tournaments, like the Champions League or the Libertadores Cup in football. 2. Will it turn out that in a year or two, the deserving people will lose their skill level, and instead of the highest league, it will be a gathering of has-beens? No, Uran, Alex R, etc. play little, but look how. We won't be ashamed of them for the next year or two, and it doesn't make sense to look further. 3. What to do if one of the champions refuses? Take the next ones from the qualifying tournament, or give a green card to someone from the experienced players, like Mizrael or vbn. 4. 10 people playing in a round-robin system - is that 9 rounds, is it too long? Yes, it's long, so it's worth dividing them into two groups of 5 people. Two go to the semi-finals, the winners of the semi-finals play in the final. The winner in the end will rightfully be the champion of champions of our forum, we will award him the title of "first sword of the forum". P.S. Respected Vik wrote that it is not necessary to copy someone else's experience. In general, if the experience was positive, then it should be adopted. There was a lot of interest in that Tournament on the forum. Another P.S. Give the Tournament organized by Javdet the status of a qualifying tournament for the highest league, let's say, 2 places qualify for the highest league. Because we are unlikely to be able to handle two Tournaments right now. The forum is only being revived, the number of forum members has decreased. People are also recovering from the New Year and waiting for Christmas, we won't be able to get much out of them.

What if we did it this way?

Okay, at the same time, let's consider what that restriction might lead to – that players from the Top League won't be able to play with players outside of that League.

First: it might turn out that one player is willing to play, but can't find another player from the League who is also willing to play.

I understand that there's a counter-argument that says... play, but the points won't count towards the ranking... but... then....

Second: we'll determine the season winner based on other criteria, right?....
