Posts from Siberian Club Championship, also serving as a qualifying round for the CIS championship.

I'm eager to share my first impressions. We greeted our guests in the evening, settled them in, and treated each other to some refreshments... Overall, everything was great! After sleeping for 2 hours, I went to take care of some errands. Today, some serious Heroes battles are coming up :smile51: It's a shame I can't upload photos; one connoisseur would definitely appreciate them! :smile08: But everything will be alright!!!!!! :smile44:

Just got home!
Well, what can I say, we had a great time playing Heroes :D
Let me show you first :-)

The heroes from Siberia are so tough... ;)))


Finally, we all gathered - "For a friends' meeting!" :-)



...Let's have a little snack before the battles :-)



And now, let's play some poker :-Р


And even play Heroes ;-)
(Dust, Dirty Player, Van)


Cherk: Dust vs Van (red Conflux, Moner vs blue Necropolis, Galtan, Jebus)


...performed by Dust


...performed by Van


"Van: Wooo, so many cool things, just treasures" :)))


We weren't playing for candy ;-) We were playing for a whole plate of goodies, and some paper too...


The final battle!


...it's so easy! )))


Souvenirs from Kemerovo :-) (Bacardi & Dewar's - 0.5 ))))


And especially for PReDS, hehe ))



Overall, the meeting was a great success! The CIS Championship 2011 is open, and we pass the baton on! ;)

Thank you so much to Vanya and Artem for being able to come! I'm sorry that many couldn't join us, so we're giving them another chance! Perhaps a "Qualifying Tournament #2" will be held in Kemerovo during the November holidays :smile44: It's not certain, of course, but it depends only on us! If we can gather a good group, Ivan will arrange it, and we'll rent a cottage with a sauna, and then we'll really have some fun :smile08:
Those who are interested, don't be shy - get in line ;-)

Yeah, it was great, we were greeted with great hospitality, and we had a good time.
I'm ready to reciprocate, if no unforeseen circumstances occur, during the November holidays from November 4th to 7th. I hope that other Heroes players who want to participate in the qualifying round of the CIS championship will join us.

Well done, guys! Likewise, if no unforeseen circumstances occur, I'll be happy to join you in November :)

It seems that the pink bed is becoming an integral symbol of the Siberian Heroes of Might and Magic qualifying rounds))). Maybe it should be officially declared as the mascot? ))

Competition Regulations:
The tournament is a qualifier for the CIS Championship. The tournament format will be chosen on-site, depending on the number of participants.

1. Version TE lite/BT
2. HW rules for TE lite/BT: for BT - experience, tax, and bank are disabled (classes are TBD)
3. Templates: Smka, Balance, Mini-Nostalgia, Jebus, 8mm6a
4. Template selection: strike-out (cherk)
5. Time limit for HL templates: 3600+360, for L templates: 3000+300; in case of play on classic SoD, 6 min per turn. Timer during battles is enabled.
6. Castle selection: strike-out/trade
7. Color selection: strike-out/trade
8. Total restarts: 3 days (111-111-111 or 111-112 or 113)
9. In general, games are conducted by player agreement (version, template, rules, starting castle, hero, color); in the absence of an agreement, the regulations apply. For points 5 and 8 – changes are possible only in the direction of reduction.
10. The Judge – monitors compliance with the regulations, provides the necessary software, resolves all conflict situations related to game moments. In the event that the game duration exceeds 10 hours and one of the players intentionally stalls, the judge has the right to leave the game and initiate the awarding of victory/defeat/draw for this match by the other players.

Algorithm:

First, the players choose a template.
The blue player starts the strike-out:
Example:
Pit :
1. Anarchy
Dirty_Player :
2. 8mm6а
Pit :
3. balance
Dirty_Player :
4. 2SM4d(3)
So we play on Mini-Nostalgia./
After this, players choose a castle via strike-out (or trade). The blue player starts the strike-out, as usual.

Rules for 2SM4d(3) completely coincide with the seasonal rules on HW

Differences for Jebus cross:
Recommended size XL-U.
- Restart at the request of a player whose only road leads to a Guard Post. Taken on the day this fact is discovered.
- Restart at the request of a player who lacks a road to the central treasury. Taken on the day this fact is discovered.
- Restart for slow roads. Taken at the request of at least one of the opponents immediately after map generation.
- Using "Angel Wings" and the spells "Fly" and "Dimension Door" when moving from one zone to another is allowed only if the guards between them have been defeated.
- In the event of bugged passages between zones, moving to a neighboring zone is allowed only if the Guard Post to the center has been defeated from both zones.

Jebus cross description - http://forum.heroesworld.ru/showpost...92&postcount=7

Differences for Mini-Nostalgia:
- AI computers are chosen by players alternately, one at a time. The blue player starts the selection. There must be no repeats or matches with the players' castles. Before the game starts, the host assigns the chosen castles to the computers.
Reason - to avoid double-builds.
- It is allowed to run through neighboring resps past shifted guards (except for Guard Posts).
Reason - computers ignore shifted guards, therefore players can as well to avoid any unfair advantages. Furthermore, breaking through the path to a computer is much easier than taking its castle, so there is no point in this restriction.
Mini-Nostalgia description - http://forum.heroesworld.ru/showpost...20&postcount=3

Differences for 8mm6а:
- Map settings XL+U, 2 humans + 6 computers, difficulty 160%.
- Roads are fast
- It is allowed to pass from resp to resp without defeating shifted guards.
- If a computer's castle has an upgrade of level 1, 6, 7 in Conflux or level 4 in Necropolis, it is forbidden to upgrade your own troops of these levels or hire the upgraded version of the creatures. If the Necromancy Booster is built, upgrading vampires is forbidden, and additional skeletons do not need to be dismissed – SoD only
- Restart at the request of a player whose only road leads to the treasury guards. Taken on the day this fact is discovered, but no later than 113 provided all restarts have been chosen – and only once – with the approval of the tournament judge
- Restart for a strong block that cannot be bypassed, at the request of the player owning this block. Whether the block is strong enough is determined by the tournament judge. Taken on the day this fact is discovered, but no later than 113, provided all restarts have been chosen – and only once.
- Restart at the request of a player who has no road exiting their castle (castle in an open field, extremely rare case). Taken immediately after map generation.

Kemer or Kemerovo, that is the question? :D

Kemer or Kemerovo, that is the question? :D

I'm for any option!

And you've prepared well for the meeting of the high-ranking Father!!!??? :D Have you saved up some cash for the rematch? ;)
By the way, I also accept cognac for autographs, photos with the star, and I'm also ready to take half-litres for a game of Heroes, and a game of HA :p :D

P.S. As for going to Pizek, I don't know yet, I'll think about it, probably it'll be easier for me to take the bus, because bringing a barrel of oil with me isn't comme il faut :-)

P.P.S. Also, local "stars" might join us, around 2, max 3 people, unless of course they flake out as always :mad:
+ I'm also waiting for news from the Tomsk guys!

P.S. As for going to Pizek, I don't know yet, I'll think about it, it'll probably be easier for me to take the bus, since bringing a barrel of oil with me isn't proper :-)

Too late to back out now, dad, you're signed up as a donkey, the Novosibirsk crew will deliver you :D, the money is ready, you just have to come pick it up )))

So, we have news from the Kemerovo "cotton-wool heads"! :D Although the guys haven't been seriously playing Heroes for a long time, 2 of them expressed a desire to participate: 1) Representative of ag.ru, moderator of the "Corner" Valera aka Colt - http://forums.ag.ru/?action=viewprofile&username=aka_Colt 2) My brother Ernest aka Erny Tomorrow, they promised to inform us about their availability after the comrades from Tomsk arrive. And Catch already reported today that his appearance at the event is unlikely. We are also waiting and hoping that the Heroes players from Barnaul, especially Dreamcatcher and Alessandro, will be able to find time to break away from their families and pay a return visit to Kemerovo! And of course, we are looking forward to seeing FireToSky at the party! :) All others who are interested, join in and let us know about your desire!

P.S. As for going to Pizeke, I don't know yet, I'll think about it, I guess it would be easier for me to take the bus, since hauling a barrel of oil with me is not comme il faut :-)

Taking the bus is just a nightmare.... Maybe we'll go in the old Lada?

The bus is just awful... Maybe we can take an "eighth" (a type of car)?

Or maybe a "swallow" (a type of train)? :D Well, I don't know, the bus isn't *that* awful, I remember the Moscow-Michurinsk road... just kidding :) We'll decide closer to the time. I still have to take my brother back from Kemerovo to Novosibirsk, so I might have to use my old "Pizhek" (a derogatory term for a car).

Moderated: INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE in the message

I'm now very eager... it's quite far away (it's easier to get to Moscow, but maybe something will work out.

...he was burning with desire...it's very far away (it's easier to get to Moscow, but maybe something will work out.

Okay, let's go with Bassyr and head out. :smile14: We can discuss the details about accommodation, etc., in ICQ.
