Posts from Tournament on 8MM6a.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I've also seen similar ideas pop up in posts from time to time. Here is a suggestion: after Javdet's tournament, let's create a tournament for Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven (8MM6a). Let's hold it on SoD. To do this, we can use the experience of our Chinese colleagues by involving a third party to generate maps – so that they can check them for one-way teleporters because they ruin the whole game, as well as for blockages.

Optimal map size: XL+U + 6 computers



Zone contents:

[1-8], 15, 16, [19-22], 25, 26 - many [500-3000], medium [3000-6000], few [10000-15000]

[9-14], 17, 18, 23, 24 - many [3000-6000], medium [10000-15000], few [15000-20000]

Terrain of zones:

1-8 - determined by the type of city in this zone

9-26 - random

Almost symmetrical template :) Designed for 8 players. Many cities and "tasty" zones. No gold mines! Zones 18, 17, 23, and 24 are approximately twice as small in area as the others.

The idea is good, but I'm a bit worried about the potential complications with the third faction... Otherwise, I fully support it... I've already played about 30 games on 8mm6a: the template is more balanced than 8mm in terms of quick matches.

I wouldn't mind playing on the test server, just to avoid involving any third parties.

I wouldn't even mind playing on the test server, just to avoid involving any third parties.

I agree!

I'd like to try playing on TE, but maybe in some "no pro" way :) or forbid the folders from taking Dragon Utopia on 121-125 :)

Or maybe just set it to "Lite" by default? Because there are all sorts of difficulties there... I wouldn't want to waste time.

Or maybe just...WT ))

Good idea!
For SoD or for TE-Lite.

Is your signature not a joke?

I voted Yes, but only after Javdet's tournament! Or at least when his tournament reaches the play-off stage. As for TE-lite, certainly, let's save each other some time!

As for TE-lite, certainly, let's save each other some time! 2Stiki—just a joke of course, I just want to crack the code of TE, understand how this experience affects things, how to account for the tax and so on. But having standard SOD progression at 124 and falling under the knife of a father who has eaten 2 Dragon Utopia by that time is not very appealing. If I wanted that, I would have gone to the neighbors on BY. As a noob, I'm afraid to play with the dads right away. Request to add the template itself and the description to the first post—so we don't have to click through links.

By the way, why not organize a tournament called "8mm6a non-profy"? That is, don't include the regulars of the Baevsky tournaments, regardless of their affiliation with any particular website (for example, LeBron and Zhavdet wouldn't participate).

I hadn't noticed before, but what kind of template is this?
Do you mean Heroes of Might and Magic VI?

8mm6a is a slightly rebalanced version of 8mm6; RP-4 and the Winter Cup are currently played on it. You can find the scheme in the RP-4 thread, or when the host posts it here. There are no major differences.

Voted yes, but only after Javdet's tournament! Or at least when his tournament reaches the playoff stage.

Well, of course, no one will step on anyone's toes. We'll have time.

Or maybe we should use Lite by default? Because there are all sorts of roads there...

Hmm, maybe. Lite is the ideal option; it would eliminate the hassle of having individual people generate maps (due to the patch on one-way teleporters).

It's just that most people here play Sod, and they look at Lite with suspicion... We'll see from the approximate number of people interested how many we can gather for a quorum.

That's a great idea!

What kind of template is that? I mean, 8MM6?

Basically, yes. Only the blue and brown colors have been swapped, along with the crimson and pink. I've posted the scheme and description.

I would expand the tournament's scope a bit: create a shortlist of the most balanced templates with pre-made compositions – because, for example, I don't know how to play against them properly online, and adding a bunch of new templates would also be good (or remembering old ones). I can't say the exact names, but for example, 8mm6 (8mm6a), Nostalgia, mini-Nostalgia, Spider, and something else... – in my opinion, it would be better than running a tournament on just one template, even if it's a new and interesting one for most players.

I understand, Kostya. I'm also for it (see my signature), but there's a risk of overload with so much new content :eek: :smile11:. So, it's better to introduce things gradually.

And even though the template is complex, it's also interesting. After 10 games, playing on standard maps doesn't seem that appealing anymore...
