Well, they have full random chance, and the chance of Shanti hitting is small. And it's harder to play as someone other than Shanti.

It’s interesting where this dislike for high-level magic in general, and control spells in particular, comes from.

Dear StickyFingaz, I want to share my preliminary opinion. The idea itself is very good, and I respect that. Now, speaking for myself, I won't be playing FOR NOW. Not out of disrespect for our Chinese brothers in the game, not at all. And not out of fear of embarrassing myself, no. What's the problem? Well, my internet connection isn't always stable, and I can't imagine how they'll handle disconnections, especially with language barriers. Also, I already have interesting matches with Russian-speaking players regularly and don't have any problems finding interesting opponents. So, please understand, I'm not being silent; I'm just saying what I think.

It's interesting where this dislike for high-level magic in general, and control in particular, comes from.

1). It's historically rooted in the Tournament of Heroes (TOH).
2). Camper-style maps have always been popular, so the gameplay is also geared towards that, without using control spells.
PS. In general, everything is a mess with the Chinese; they use the same template, the game version is at best 3.2, and so on. The only plus is that the rules are short. :))

Wlk, please let me know before the match (the start date will be announced later) whether you will participate or not. The other players from the TOP list, if they don't want to play in the match, please inform me in advance. In any case, there is already at least one vacant spot for players who are not from the Best.

I'm immediately withdrawing because I don't have enough time for the current tournaments. Maybe I'll play a fun match with them, but I think you'll manage without me in the tournament.

were you waiting for it?
I don't think so...

I remember you saying that Lithuanians were complete noobs... I think you shouldn't underestimate any opponent. Honestly, I can't even imagine their level of play. Maybe tomorrow's matches between Captain and Thinkeer will show something. Regarding the fact that the Chinese only play on a couple of templates - we ourselves only diversified our strategies with other templates less than a year ago.

If there's room, take me on the team; I'd be happy to play.
- No problems with English.
- I like balance.
- I'll find time to play.
So, everything is acceptable for me.
I'll try not to disgrace my home village. :)

I'd be happy to play.
I know English well, and I'm familiar with Balance – I've played about ten games on it with foreigners on WCL.
And reading and following the rules is not a problem for me.

I don't mind playing, foreign rules are not a problem. Balance is one of my favorite templates. My English isn't great (I studied German), but I can communicate at a level that allows us to play as heroes. I've also played more than ten games with foreigners on the WCL website.

I played two games with lowk. I lost both (
He's their number one in terms of balance. They have about 10 people like him. Around 150 people play on the portal. But there's another portal where they like skirmishes more, and there seem to be even more people.

They play full-random. If the map generation is bad, they restart – the player who generated the map sends it to a third player, who reviews it and either approves or rejects it.
They rejected my first map.
In the first game, after the restart on day 111, I was blue Tower. I only managed to dig up Solmyr from the heroes. I had no money, and I had 4 heroes for the entire first week. My opponent had the same – 4 heroes. He immediately put down a +1000 bonus, and I thought he was a newbie. I put down a Castle, but I didn't have enough money for a Naga :(
My opponent put down a Citadel and Ifrits. He took his secondary town on day 114 and immediately put down a +1000 bonus there. I took mine on day 117 – there were Labyrinths.
My opponent had 2 demon stacks, a Golem stack, and I think a Dog stack + a level 1 resource in his town.
I only had a Gremlin stack and a Gargoyle.

The second game was Inferno against Inferno.
My main town was 2 blocks away – with a Sniper and then an Archer, and it was very far away. I went off-road because there were two vision buildings on the edges of the starting areas. I took a demon stack.
On day 1, I put Ifrits in my main town, and my opponent only had them in his Citadel, but he took his main town early again.
On day 2, in his secondary town, he was blocked by a stack of demons on his own territory – there was nowhere to go, because I had come off-road, and I didn't have much money, so I decided to attack with 6 Ifrits, 27 Golems, and 20 Imps. I lost.
After that, it was clear, but I kept fighting. I cleared 4 more zones – my stats looked better in the tavern, but my opponent wasn't intimidated and kept running around, finding me.

In short, I advise everyone to play more on balanced settings. I've probably played on it about 30 times, but I realized that it's not enough.

Attention, comrades! The score is 2:0, not in Captain's favor, which indicates that they are not noobs!

But there's another portal where they seem to like SMs even more, and there are even more people there.

Wow :smile19: ... link, please :)

I ask players from the TOP-10 to confirm their participation in the match. So far, 3 players are registered - Pit, Number 1, and Britva. We also need to find out who would prefer to play according to the World rules and who can play according to the Chinese rules. We agreed that all players will communicate via Skype, so those who don't have it need to install it. That's all for now.

Played two games with lowk. Lost both (

I think everyone has drawn the appropriate conclusions. I hope to gather all the best forces for the game

I'm ready to play by the Chinese rules, but first, please translate them completely and publish them. What's unclear about the Chinese rules regarding rests?
