I just don't understand, is there really a need to hold everything in a short timeframe in Moscow? Why must it be 2 days, 3 nights, 5 rounds?
Couldn't we play for 2 weekends in a row? Or will there be many guests from afar in Moscow?
Firstly, it's more convenient for planning time. Many people have families and children, so playing for 2-3 weekends in a row isn't something everyone can afford.

Secondly, there's a good chance that guests from other cities will come.

Therefore, as many matches as possible need to be scheduled within the allotted time. And if anything remains, then arrangements can be made depending on the situation.

Ideally, only replays of saves from the already played 3-4 weeks should be left for later. This is also from the point of view of protecting against save-scumming - save-scumming is most effective in the 1st week (especially with restarts), but in the 4th week, when most of the map is already open, it's not so scary.

There's a lot of debate about which template is better: the CM template or the 8mm6 template. In my opinion, it's best to choose several templates and create a hybrid from them, as seen in the qualifier and partially in "Favorites."

Pit for LM
In the worst case, some fixes might be useful if you know them in advance.
A pretty bad one, but still somewhat tolerable, is 6lm10.
Maps I won't play on: 8XM12, 8MM6 (I've played them a lot, and I don't like them).

Well, if 6lm10 is considered acceptable, then why not specifically set this template for Pete's games... as I understand it, it's familiar to many people in Moscow.

That's exactly what should be done – LM is LM, IMHO, everyone will agree! :) only the mark on it will be slightly different from the mark when it's unknown which template will be chosen.

It would be good to play 4-5 rounds of the Swiss system tournament over Friday-Sunday or Saturday-Monday. This is better than playing over two weekends and then a double-elimination bracket.

Gentlemen.
I ask everyone who has already registered or wants to register to express their opinion:
1) regarding templates:
a) indicate the desired templates
b) indicate which ones they definitely will not play under any circumstances
2) regarding the game version:
a) indicate the desired version
b) indicate which ones they definitely will not play under any circumstances
3) regarding the timing:
a) indicate the desired dates
b) indicate when they definitely will not be able to play
4) other conditions under which they will not play

Added 12 minutes later
updated the first post with more recent information
2. Any version, even on the Chaos patch.
3. Timing - any non-working days (I won't ask for more than half a day off during working days, I skipped Friday recently for Michurinsk).
1. Template - any XL, 8MM6 is preferable (if a 2:0 loss to the Chinese on the balance, and considering the Captain's games, it's even worse, it didn't teach anything, continue with your [censored] matches).

Nah, I can't handle such a physically and emotionally intense challenge right now. And besides, how could I possibly compete with you all?!
But I'll definitely come! I'll watch, learn, see who I don't know, and boost the players' morale.

We can also play a practice match or two outside of the tournament; there's usually time for it ;)
No matter what, the club atmosphere always has a positive effect on the game, unlike playing at home online!... :)

I agree. To be honest, I've never played Tournaments in clubs. And I likely won't; I'm a hardcore conservative, I only play my favorite SoD! And now everyone is trying to force-feed TE on everyone. That's why I think you and I are unlikely to cross swords in Heroes.

come on -- for the sake of getting some extra loot, I could allow not using magic buttons in "TE-lite" -- it would be just like SoD then))))))))))))))

by the way, a question on the topic: I wonder when the SoD developers were coming up with, say... Dragon Utopia! -- what week did they think online players would actually manage to tackle it? ;)
and how great was the actual practical experience of online gaming for the NWC developer-testers? :)
for dessert, I'll ask about the football-basketball-volleyball-tennis... etc. etc. rules and (attention!) inventory -- how much have they changed recently and -- most importantly -- why?! :)

PS: Borg, whom I respect, tried to loot... pardon, hit the ball with his usual wooden racket after a tournament break; however, against the freaks with carbon fiber, he didn't make much of an impression anymore, despite his other virtues...... :(

I'm not trying to be a "power-gamer"... I love Heroes with all my soul, but the way they were originally made! TE is a perversion of the real thing! (My subjective opinion...)

We used to take Dragon Utopia in online games on the fourth one and thought it was cool! Then on the third - no problem! Now some kids are taking them on the second - and we're happy for them!
So the question is - why do we need TE (no matter how "convenient" the options are) if we are progressing wonderfully in SoD, "moving forward," and enjoying the game?!

So, the question is - why do we need TE (with whatever "convenient" options) if we are making excellent progress in SoD, "moving forward," and enjoying the game?!

Answering the question: if by "we" we mean not some group of players with a conservative mindset, but the Heroes community as a whole, then TE is needed just as much as computers with Core 2 Quad processors, 4 GB of RAM, and a terabyte hard drive are needed compared to a classic (i.e., the original, as conceived and created by the developers) IBM PC... the difference is certainly not so drastic, but the principle is the same :)

Speed - one! Convenience - two!! Opportunities for creativity - three!!! :smile19:
