So many unfamiliar terms — why are rests canceled???? It seems everything is being held according to HeroesWorld rules, but here everything is all over the place: some use SoD, some use TE, the rules are different, no rests — COMPLETE NONSENSE. Make up your minds about the event regulations — dear organizers, so that people understand what to expect from this event. Because as I read all this, I simply don't understand half of it :mad: , and the other half suggests it's going to be a plain old drinking party :smile12: . Which, in principle, isn't bad either :smile13:

As I understand it, the goal is simply to eliminate scenarios where a restart is highly likely due to an unfavorable encounter, in order to save time.

the second half suggests that it will be a simple drinking party :smile12:. Which, in principle, is not bad either :smile13:

and when was it any different? :confused:
Alessandro even included such an item in the expense report:

P.S. I was thinking, if I have time, I might go to Barnaul too :)
I would like to see the dates.

As I understand it, the goal is simply to eliminate map generation scenarios where a restart is highly likely due to an unfavorable starting position. This is to save time.

By the way, the Chinese use this approach to balance the game – the player who generates the map sends it to a neutral player at turn 111 – that player reviews it, and if the map generation isn't flawed, they give the go-ahead to play.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you arrive with pre-generated maps, does the mapmaking contest get canceled?

I just called. There's a 3-room cottage in the center of Barnaul for 2000 rubles per day. A 1-room apartment in the center costs 800 rubles per day. I'll keep looking.

This is already a very interesting option. If you accommodate 6 people in this cottage, it will be very fun and much cheaper!
A 1-room apartment is not an option. Look for 3-4 room apartments!

I'd like to see the dates.

The preliminary dates are the New Year holidays, from January 3rd to 10th, or something within that range. Dima, if you come, I'll be very happy!!! So go ahead and plan your time ;) We'll get to Novosibirsk, and play rebuy tournaments for 1000 rubles :smile54:

November, December, January, who’s next…. :D

November, December, January, who's next....:D

It depends on how much time each person wants to spend on the tournament. I personally would like to dedicate about 4 days to this event! There aren't that many weekends in November and December. :(

If there's more than 3 days, you can even do it with restarts if you want to spend time on them. You can ask them to generate the same Vik and Yama-Darma; I think they won't care who gets what. You're playing a random game, so you should complain about the random generation if it's bad. Besides, there will definitely be fewer of these generations because the guys will at least look at how playable the setup is.
P.S. In general, if a preliminary selection is held in Barnaul, I'll be a bot :-))), if the number of participants is odd!

I still think that pre-generating saves will create a number of problems that may outweigh the benefits of saving time. The first thing I already mentioned is that for each possible pair of castles, you need to have 2, or better, 3 different generations, so that they don't repeat if the player gets the same castles again in the next round. Secondly, this will create a lot of uncertainty during the draft. After all, if the save is generated in advance, then it seems that it is already known where the underground castles will be, at the top or at the bottom. And during the draft, this is one of the most important factors; for example, keeping a blue dungeon for yourself is very risky, but if it is placed at the top during generation, then it's a different matter. This will greatly complicate the usual draft schemes of the players. And in general, it will disrupt the typical strategy, where the choice of color largely compensates for the more risky generations for blue; here, they will be equally balanced without any risk. So, if you're looking for ways to speed things up, maybe you should just let the judge look at the map right after the generation to see if it's not too bad, so as not to waste time with mandatory restarts.
P.S. If the tournament lasts more than 3 days, I definitely won't go; I can't get that much time off from work. The closer to the new year (i.e., the 3rd), the better.
P.S.S. And I don't drink either :). At all :). So, the option of getting drunk as a substitute for playing is not interesting to me )).

P.S.S. And also, I don't drink :). At all :). So, the option of drinking as a replacement for playing games doesn't interest me )).

I don't drink either! Let's play chess ;)

What does replacing mean :eek:, my friends, it's just combining :D
It's just that, as practice shows, the longer you delay, the worse it gets, and New Year's holidays are traditionally filled with all sorts of nonsense.

I don't drink anymore :). Not at all :). So, the option of drinking as a replacement for the game isn't interesting to me.

I'm not going to force anyone to drink!!!
For example, I prefer beer to vodka.
Also: why don't we hold a chess tournament at the same time! After all, everyone knows how the pieces move. There is internet in the club.

Hi everyone! Let's play poker at the same time.

Hi everyone! Let's also play poker at the same time :)

Let's do it! ;-)
...and that was said by Dust, oh my god )))

P.S. but only in our free time from Heroes! ;-)
