Well, I just didn't boast on every corner that I'm a strong player, etc...

You're doing the right thing by not boasting. Those who can understand it, already know it.:smile20:

Remembering our game :smile33:, I secretly still hope for a rematch.

Thank you for the game!

I confirm.

Actually, I believe that limitations should be imposed by the map itself, not by the rules. If I can reach the opponent on day 115, why should I wait until day nine? Fixes are for fixing things.
For example, I saw somewhere in the rules about Mullich and his company. You could simply ban him on the map, and that's all. Is that logical?
Of course, red rushes need to be limited. Because there's no way to prevent them on the map itself.

On all maps (if I didn't miss anything), heroes from the campaigns are banned: Mullich, Ufettin, and Stracker, Vidomina, and Izra.
So, if no one objects, do the rules come into effect?

1) Change 118 to a normal redraw

I'm for it.

2) Ban the amplifier for Necropolis

dunno... Necropolis gets banned everywhere. Let's bring back Conflux with restrictions.
Anyway, more likely no than yes

3) 6 minutes?

I'm for it, no comments.

Zhenya posted the regulations about 2 weeks ago, and not a single person wrote a word about any errors in the rules or anything else! As soon as the phrase "We've started!" appeared, criticism of the rules, dissatisfaction, and "noobishness" etc. immediately showed up. A spoon is dear at dinner time, Respected Gurus.

P.S. So that no one has any questions — this is purely my own, purely subjective opinion, and not any kind of complaint (this is to avoid any questions).

And one more thing — bring Bron back to universal! =)

Hello everyone... while I have some time, I'll write a few words... I consider myself a weak player... even a very weak one (but not a newbie). I say this because I've played against some of the strongest opponents, not just in my city or region, but in the country. I've communicated with them via messages. I thought I was a pro at Heroes, but it turns out I'm not just a small fish in a big pond... I haven't even been born yet! Well, never mind, that's not the point. In tournaments, I play fairly, not for the sake of winning, but simply for the sake of participating. I know that I'm not going to win anyway, because the people who are seriously involved in this spend a lot of time studying all the maps and developing strategies in advance. So, in a way, the online experience turns into (or mixes with) the offline experience, and these are completely different things. Since I consider myself more of an online player (although I've also come to love offline play), I honestly enjoy it when both opponents are on equal footing and don't know what map they'll be playing on, who they'll be playing as, or where anything is located. That's my favorite kind of game, like a blitz chess match. I don't like having 6 minutes per turn, as is sometimes the case in serious tournaments. These 6 minutes for the first turn can easily turn into 30-40 minutes, and then even longer. I've never agreed to "let's save the game and finish it later" (on small maps). Anyway, I'm rambling again. After reading everything, I have a few questions: 1. Why, after the tournament has started and even after a game has been played, do we start talking about the rules, voting, and making changes? We've been playing for months, and before signing up for the tournament, I think everyone has read the rules and could have expressed their opinion about whether to play or not, and whether to make changes. 2. Since I'm a noob, lol, and I don't understand much of the slang, and I haven't played in a long time, and I'm too lazy to look it up, I'm not afraid to ask: what is a "red rush"? 3. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I have favorite heroes. So, I mainly play with them. And in different versions of Heroes, they have slightly different names. So, I still don't understand who I can choose, who I can't, what I can build, and what I can't. Could you at least provide a list of the heroes that are banned? I'll print it out and hang it on my monitor, and every time I'm about to choose a hero, I'll check this list. 4. Sorry for writing so much nonsense here. I'm just out of touch with what's going on. Maybe everything has changed a long time ago, and I'm still living in the 90s, when I first started playing Heroes and there were no complications. And I STILL LOVE THIS GAME. Thank you all in advance for reading everything I've written

and also - bring Bron back to universal! =)

this is a lurch:)
Lesha, red rush is when red attacks blue on the first day of the week, buying up the resource that blue hasn't had time to buy yet.
regarding heroes - they are banned on the map and cannot join. unless they are in the dungeon. but I might miss it...
banned heroes are Mullich, Izra Vidomina, and all those who are only in campaigns.
I also banned Stracker (zombie) and Ufetin (gnome).

2) against
1) 3) for
Dirty_Player +1

I also banned Stracker (Undead) and Ufetin (Dungeon).

The most important thing is Pikedram, because his arrival makes the Tower completely unplayable :(

I think he's not that bad – 12-15 gargoyles, scouting, and speed of 7 – if you add 9 more gargoyles, together with 50 caps, it will be very good... but that's just my opinion.

Pikedram came with one stack of gargoyles, and that's it, GAME OVER :D
In THE, they even gave him a stack of gremlins ;)

Regarding the game over, it's definitely too harsh; hiding Gremlochs or Mages can compensate for everything, or a hero with ranged attacks. Naturally, the pace is slower, but with certain bonuses, you can develop normally.

I want to play!

Ready to play on April 25th or 26th (Saturday or Sunday), starting as early as 9 AM.

Talking about game over is definitely an exaggeration; hiding Gremlins or Mages can easily compensate for it, or a hero with ranged attacks can do the trick. Of course, the pace will be slower, but with certain bonuses, you can develop normally.

Here, when preparing a game for Fortress on a specific map, the approximate number of Gremlins is taken into account, but Pikedram ruins everything. He should definitely be banned, or a RE (restriction) should be applied to Pikedram.
