Dear tournament participants, as you may have noticed, the time allotted for group matches has already ended on July 1st!!! We kindly request that everyone who still has outstanding matches complete them as soon as possible, no later than July 5th. If it is not possible to fulfill this request, please send me a message on ICQ explaining the reasons (sick, on a business trip, computer malfunction, internet disconnected, opponent forfeited), in short, just start and finish the matches, I hope for your understanding!

So, the time allotted for the group stage games has passed. Those who didn't manage to participate, it's not my fault, and I'm not going to prolong the inevitable. Therefore, I announce the list of quarter-finalists:
Group A - 1st place Dmitrik, 2nd place - Moz
Group B - 1st place immortal, 2nd place - Kolobokk
Group C - 1st place twaryna, 2nd place - raykkonen
Group D - 1st place Willgeforz, 2nd place - Smerti_Po
According to the rules, the quarter-final matches will be between the following pairs:
Dmitrik - raykkonen - 1-0
Moz - twaryna - 1-0
immortal - Smerti_Po - 0-1
Kolobokk - Willgeforz
I wish everyone good luck in the 1/4 final matches! And a very big request: please don't delay the process! I think it would be a shame to receive a technical defeat in the 1/4 final! You signed up - play! If you don't have time, let others play!

Wow, I'm shocked; even Elves are using carriages here... if the map is long and Chaos doesn't take them...

I’m telling you, the devil made me do it… I took the cars after the lights went out… I don’t even know why.

Esteemed colleagues Moz - twaryna and Kolobokk - Willgeforz, I don't know if you check the forum or not, but that's not my problem. I'm not going to individually message each of you on ICQ. I'd like to know what stage your quarter-final games are at? Today is the 18th, and there are only 12 days left until the end of the tournament!!! I'm warning you that I don't intend to postpone the deadline. On July 31, 2009, I will summarize the results and close the thread. If there is no winner, I won't be too upset, and the sponsor won't be upset either; they will gladly invest these funds in the next tournament. Once again, I draw your attention to the fact that this tournament will end on July 31, 2009, and there will be no postponements. I hope that on August 1, 2009, I won't have to quote this post to anyone; everything is in your hands!

He said he can only play on weekends, so I don’t see him online right now.

We have already started our game and will finish it soon.

And so it happened, the 1/4 final matches have been played! According to the rules, I drew the pairings for the 1/2 final matches, and they look like this:
Pair N1: Dmitrik - Smerti_Po - 1-0
Pair N2: Moz - Kolobokk
Good luck to everyone! And don't forget about post N97!!!!

Whew, you have some really tight deadlines!)))

In this regard, I would like to note the high level of organization of the tournament. It wasn't dragged out for half a year; everything was quick and intense. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the high praise regarding the tournament organization. As for the deadlines, I believe they are quite optimal, and if all organizers strived for quality and adhered to deadlines, I am sure there could be many more tournaments!!!
I would also like to sincerely congratulate Andrey on his well-deserved victory and wish him success in future games! I also congratulate Dmitrik on his well-deserved second place! As for 3rd place, I contacted both contenders for it via ICQ yesterday; the message board still says "Waiting for a response." If I don't receive any information in a couple of days, well, I think you understand what I mean. ;)
Kolobokk and Dmitrik, please send your bank details for the prize money transfer. My email is voltor1@yandex.ru
Thank you to all participants in the tournament. Best regards, Leo.

Tournament rules: 1. Games are played on the HoMM V: Tribes of the East 3.1 version. The game is played on the Ubi server or through the Hamachi program. 2. Game settings: Difficulty – Hero Turn time limit – 8 minutes Animation speed – maximum Fast battle – enabled Simultaneous turns – enabled Dynamic battle – disabled Ghost mode – disabled Autosave – enabled ------------------------------- I have a question: what does it mean to have "fast battle" enabled? Do you only fight using fast battles? And do you also use fast battles for hero vs. hero battles? o_0

I have a question: what does it mean when "fast battle" is enabled? Do you only fight using fast battles? And does it also apply to battles between heroes? o_0

When attacking any neutral army, a "fast battle" result is displayed. If you are not satisfied with the losses, you can click "fight manually."
Of course, it's usually better to fight manually, but sometimes when the battle is not very important, it saves a lot of time... the only downside is that the computer always uses a lot of mana.
And, of course, if a battle takes place between two players, the manual battle mode is immediately activated (no "auto-battles").
