~no1_knows_me~ (Blue, Stronghold, Dessa, Gunnar) def Blacpoint (Red, Stronghold, Kreg, Kreg) 2sm4d(3) 113

Started without rests, only twice did the heroes reach level 10.

111. I decide to take Gunnar into my party, upgrade goblins, 5 heroes, no visible caches, but there's enough money everywhere...
112. Another hero, Gurney is at the stables, wolves at home, many roads...
113. A message arrives about a surrender, the opponent declined auto-play.

Thanks for the short game.

I confirm, the surrender was disappointing, but inevitable, because I would have lost anyway, I shouldn't have attacked((:smile16:

Group N, well done! All matches have been played, and the two pairs for the 1/8 finals have been determined.

Forrest (Fortress) - scorp (Dungeon)
~no1_knows_me~ (Stronghold) - Javdet (Fortress)

If both players agree, you can start playing now.
The red color is assigned to the first player in the pair in the first game. Then, the colors change after each SUBJECTIVE (only games 111 and 113) restart.

I also remind you of the rules:
Starting with the 1/8 finals, please attach the save files of the matches to the reports.

Whew... I apologize to all the opponents, especially Pete. :o When it was recorded, there was plenty of time for games. Then something didn't work out - either with me or with the opponents. As a result, there was no time at all due to the turbulent events in real life. Once again, I VERY SINCERELY APOLOGIZE for such a terrible attitude towards the tournament :(

I think I'll take a heroic break... for half a year.

Mizrael (Castle, Caitlin, Vistan) def. Piterius (red, Conflux, Kalt, Zubin) 8mm6 132

We used all the restarts; it generated a friendly computer opponent, and Vistan even showed up with 3 stacks. The computer opponent was nearby, and I reached him on day 3. When attacking, I conserved my creatures and Marksmen, and they barely damaged the Lizards. I finished off all the green heroes and started to control the territory, but there wasn't much to control... Not a single Crypt on 2 resource nodes, and no hidden spots either. Somehow, I managed to get Knights in the Citadel. I equipped the computer opponent's castle with Swords.
121 - I defended and got a +4 shield from the Dwarves. With 3 Knights, Arbalests, and Marksmen, I crushed 80 Archers with a Metro upgrade, and then Grand Elves appeared... I felt uneasy, and time started to run out, so I sped up my father in the Metro.
122 - I brought a Knight and more troops. The Grand Elf didn't do much damage, and they didn't have much morale. I opened a teleport to the desert and hid behind it.
123 - Vistan, with all his might, came out of the teleport and reached the vision range. Oh no - red flags everywhere, but it seemed like he didn't have many troops. A Mage with an Archer attacked the Archers and ran away; the red army retreated to the lava.
124 - After killing Christian, who didn't have time to grab the artifact for morale on the road, I marched towards the green territory - there was clearly a Conflux respawn point.
125 - Vistan is heading towards the capital; a chain of troops is guarding the path. But then Zubin, with all his forces, aimed to break my chain and possibly attack my castles...
126 - I hesitated, but finally decided on the last minute - I bought everything from the castle, brought Gundula along the chain. Vistan gave her artifacts and his troops: battle number one. It was tough; Gundula's stats weren't great, only enough mana for 2 shields, and Zubin had a Ballista (Christian must have given it to him) - it was bloody, but worth it.
127 - Vistan has the troops; he's on the march to the capital again.
131 - I bought all the small units from 2 castles, brought them to my father, and moved to attack, but I didn't get close to the castle. In the end, I was attacked by a couple of mage-kamikazes with 7 Pixies; the result - only 1 Archer remained.
132 - After the mages, Zubin attacked with a pack of Storms and almost a hundred Pixies, but thanks to the armor and a horde of Marksmen, Vistan survived. Thanks for the game.

5.Specifically regarding Group D. If the situation remains as it is now, PReDS will advance to the playoffs from your group. I will determine the second participant from your group (since the second host is in this group) through a lucky loser draw from players in other groups who have performed the best in all matches.
...[/B]
Unfortunately, I must disappoint the hosts who accepted an almost unknown player into the tournament and state that I will not be able to participate in the playoff games, even if I make it there. So, I ask that you remove me from the tournament.
I want to thank you for the opportunity to play in this dungeon, which I had been struggling to play in until this tournament.

P.S. Since I didn't finish the tournament, it would probably be fair not to count the matches I won towards the seasonal ranking.

Still, starting with the round of 16, based on the suggestions of Medium, Cobra, and the Chinese, we will introduce the following rules:

Differences for Jebus cross:
- Restart at the request of the player who has only one path leading to the GO. It is taken on the day this fact is discovered.

Differences for Balance:
- Restart at the request of the player who does not have a path to the central treasure and/or does not have a path to their home town. It is taken on the day this fact is discovered.


Deadline for the round of 16 - 2 weeks - until November 9 inclusive.

Mizrael(Castle, Caitlin, Vistan) def Piterius(red, Conflux, Kalt, Zubin) 8mm6 132

We used all restarts, generated a native computer, and Vistan also came with 3 stacks. The computer was nearby, I reached him on day 3, when breaking through I saved pokemons and marks, they nibbled the lizards for a penny. Killed all of green's heroes and started exploring the territory, but there was nothing to explore... Not a single crypt on 2 respawns, no caches either. Barely got to the horses in the home stronghold, planted swords at the computer's.
121 - I deflect a shield +4 from the dwarves, with 3 horses, crossbowmen, and pokemons I push through 80 archers with a grade in the metro, and at the exit there are grand elves... It got scary and time started running out - I rushed dad into the metro.
122 - brought in a horse and more meat, there weren't too many grands and they had no morale, they didn't hit hard. Broke through a teleport into the desert and hid behind it.
123 - Vistan with all the power flies out of the teleport and reaches the lookout, ohhh - red flags everywhere, but there seems to be little power. The mage with an arrow slashes the archers and flees, the red power heads to the lava.
124 - after killing Christian, who didn't manage to grab the morale artifact on the road, I march to the grass - there's clearly a Conflux respawn there.
125 - Vistan charges toward the capital, the chain to home is set up. But then Zubin with all the power aims to break my chain, or even break toward my towns...
126 - I thought it over, but finally decided at the last minute - bought everything from home, brought it up the chain to Gundula. Vistan gave artifacts and power from himself to her: battle number one. It was tough, Guni's stats aren't great, only mana for 2 shields, and Zubin has a ballista (Christian fezzed no doubt) - it was bloody, but worth it.
127 - power is with Vistan, he's marching toward the capital again.
131 - bought all the small stuff from 2 towns, brought it to dad and moved to assault, but didn't get close enough to the town. In the end, I was caught by a couple of kamikaze mages with 7 pixies, result - 1 archer left.
132 - after the mages, Zubin attacked with a pack of storm elementals and almost a hundred pixies, but thanks to armor and a horde of pokemons, Vistan pulled through. Thanks for the game.

Phew, I've only just barely recovered from such an outcome in the tournament fight. It was incredibly sad to be eliminated with three wins out of four, I've been walking around empty all these days. It's doubly unpleasant when victory was already in hand, but my own carelessness played a cruel joke on me.
Before the match in question, there was a completely different game, where I had 12 angels on the second, three Conflux on the third, a Dragon Utopia with the Book of Air on 137, the Book of Earth on the fourth, and by 212 I was already catching up with the main hero of blue with weaker power and lower stats.
But then I realize that from 141 I jumped 2 times instead of one according to the rules... It's a leftover Ba'ba habit of using two Dimension Doors and little experience playing by world rules on small maps. In horror I realize it's a loss, which I inform my opponent about. After a brief dialogue with Dirty, who seemed to agree with me, as did Mizrael, that 1 Dimension Door on 8mm6 is nothing, I confirm there aren't many ways out of this situation. Since the opponent wouldn't agree to continue, I propose a new one.
I get consent, for which respect to Mikhail.
But the game was already different. I probably programmed myself for defeat already at the stage of realizing my mistake and played as if hit with a bag. I can't explain the situation otherwise - why I didn't take the rest along the brown roads on 111, revealing my rotten respawn from the lookout and seeing that my opponent had a double???
I only came to my senses after 2 hours, but it was already too late.
I barely put the psychos in the fort, it was 6 days' travel to the nearest town - for some reason I lose all games with such a setup. I was a bit surprised by the blue rush on 123 with the so-called "all power" consisting of 13 archers, 65 pikemen, 4 horses, and 10+ pixies. Honestly, I thought he was going to his death, not finding any prospects for himself. Had the main hero been a few tiles closer, I probably would have wiped out that army with supply chains. This turn of events disheartened me so much that I even decided to send a freshly freed level 5 scout hero with an experience artifact to break the chain, having first killed 10 archers with my shooters, but Gundula with supply chains turned out stronger. Then Misha wrote it all. I bought everything I could afford and accepted the final battle.
Thanks for the game.

ps: imho, it would be fairer in such outcomes to assign extra games, rather than awarding based on rating. The time and desire to play was still huge. As it is, it feels like the Italian national team at Euro 2004.
Seems like I played well, but ended up with nothing.

Before the trip to Kyiv, I tried to arrange a game with Ayman, but it kept getting postponed (he didn't want to play in the evening). That was a mistake. I even arranged with my wife to have two days – Saturday and Sunday – to play, but I still couldn't play with Ayman (it turned out he had an exam), so I congratulate him on leaving the group!

The organizers discussed and decided that the regulations will not be changed.

Regarding suggestions during our tournament:

Scheduling additional games. This is impossible. 1) It would be unfair to players in other groups. Adding time in one group means we must add time for everyone else. And by scheduling extra games in one group, we are obligated to schedule extra games in all the other groups. 2) No criteria have been proposed for determining the best player if there is a tie.

Introducing other criteria. This is impossible. 1) It would be unfair to those participants who played based on the announced criteria. 2) An objective skill metric is unknown.

Option 2, suggested by Alex_R. Impossible. 1) Unfair because some results for third place and below were assigned formally. Not all participants competed for 3rd place. All matches need to be reviewed, and additional time needs to be scheduled for rematches. 2) A final with three players again will require introducing additional criteria or additional games, which could take a long time.

Option 1, suggested by Alex_R. Definitely yes. The first person to withdraw will be replaced by Piterius. If anyone else withdraws, we will draw lots among the players willing to join as a "lucky loser" and who performed most successfully in the group stage.

Finding solutions to such situations is necessary, and I suggest continuing this in the "Tournament Rules" thread: /topic/at/301719/

Please move all posts regarding criteria for determining the best players there as well.

In general, I was making statistics on the group stage. Of course, these statistics do not claim to be absolute; it's just our tournament.

67 out of 80 games were played within the allotted time. 84% of all scheduled matches were completed on time. Respect to everyone who played.

Castles:
Dungeon: +15-7=2 - 67% wins
Rampart: +15-9 - 63% wins
Conflux: +15-11=2 - 57% wins
Castle: +5-5 - 50% wins
Stronghold: +4-7 - 36% wins
Inferno: +4-7 - 36% wins
Swamp: +2-5 - 29% wins
Necropolis: +3-7=2 - 33% wins
Tower: +1-6 - 14% wins

During the group stage, there were / advanced from the group / % advancement:
Dungeons - 7 / 5 / 71% (if PReDS hadn't withdrawn, it would have been 7/6/86%)
Ramparts - 7 / 3 / 43%
Confluxes - 8 / 3 / 38%
Barbarians - 3 / 1 / 33%
Infern - 3 / 1 / 33%
Castles - 3 / 1 / 33%
Necropolises - 4 / 2 / 50% (if PReDS hadn't withdrawn, it would have been 4/1/25%)
Swamps - 2 / 0 / 0%
Towers - 3 / 0 / 0%

A total of 40 people participated in the group stage. 16 made it to the 1/8 round. The castles were distributed as follows:
There were 17.5% of all participants playing for Dungeon in the group stage / there are now 31% in the playoffs.
Rampart: 17.5% / 19%
Conflux: 20% / 19%
Castle: 7.5% / 6%
Stronghold: 7.5% / 6%
Inferno: 7.5% / 6%
Swamp: 5% / 0%
Necropolis: 10% / 13%
Tower: 7.5% / 0%

The overwhelming advantage of Dungeon and the weakness of Tower and Swamp are evident.

There's a clear advantage for Dungeon and a weakness for Tower and Swamp...

Well, for Tower, you just need to choose Solmyr. :) And the weakness of Swamp, in my opinion, is exaggerated. :) Besides, statistically, it's only slightly behind Necropolis, Inferno, and Barbarians.

Oleg, I'm not very happy that things are turning out this way in our group. If the organizers don't mind, I can give up my spot, because I really know that your skill is higher than mine.
