Posts from 1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

I would also like to know if anyone will actually play at a difficulty level below 200%? Because if no one does, then this whole discussion loses its meaning.
Personally, I will play at 200%.

I don't understand what 200%, 160%, 130% means. Does this indicate the difficulty level? Please enlighten me...

I'm confused again... Where can I find the list of tournament participants?

The higher the percentage, the more resources and "intelligence"?

The higher the percentage, the more resources and "intelligence"?

On the contrary, you have fewer resources, but the AI players have more. And the AI is slow no matter the percentage :)

Difficulty level - Player resources (valuable/common/gold) - AI strength

1 - 15/30/30000 - approximately 50%
2 - 10/20/20000 - approximately 75%
3 - 7/15/15000 - 100%
4 - 4/10/10000 - 100%
5 - 0/0/0 - 100%

That's why I said that there isn't much difference between levels 3-5, because the AI plays the same, and resources on a large map aren't that important...

The AI's resource amount doesn't change; it's always standard - 7/15/15000.

And where are 200% and 150%? :)

And how can one see this for themselves? How did you find out about this? :)

AmberSoler and I are suggesting the same thing, aren't we?
You still don't understand:
One difficulty level - Impossible
And only 3 rewards.
Is that what he suggested?
I haven't heard anyone suggest only 3 rewards!!!

And if you supposedly know what's going on on other portals, then PLEASE tell EVERYONE what's going on on other portals, what level they're playing at!?!

Your question made me doubt my words, so I specifically rechecked the computer's resources. The following figures were obtained:
1. (80%) - 2/5/5000
...
5. (200%) - 7/15/10000
I think this is closer to the truth.

So how many nominations will there be????? I suggest one, and whether it's the most difficult or a little easier is not important. It's better to make one difficulty level 180%, it's not the most difficult, and the computer won't lag so much. Although, I'll reveal a small secret - there are resources on the map. So, you can even make it 200%.

Comrade Prorock, why are you nitpicking over trivial things? I don't see much difference between my suggestion and yours. It would sound something like this: One difficulty level - MEDIUM (and this is only out of respect for weak players who find it difficult to play on Impossible). Three ORIGINAL prizes for the top three places. The remaining participants receive standard certificates as a memento. But we can also leave it as you suggest, only I think my suggestion is slightly better. And AmberSoler was the first to point out the absurdity of five nominations. To be honest, I didn't want to get involved in the discussion at all, I won't mention the reason. But seeing how AmberSoler's normal suggestion is being dismissed, I couldn't resist :) The difference between Medium and High difficulty levels is far from trivial. I will explain why below! And consolation prizes are just not serious... I am an assistant organizer of tournaments, BUT this tournament is entirely in the hands of the respected VDV forever - I AM PARTICIPATING IN IT IN THE SAME PASSIVE WAY AS ALL OF YOU! I suggest that you, IronAxe, do not continue this UNPLEASANT discussion, so that it does not create two warring camps and does not affect our further relationship and communication.;) I will now explain to you all the difference, why it is worth playing on Impossible, and not on Medium. You are all focused on beginners - and that's GOOD, but... The chances of beginners will not change at all depending on the difficulty level!!! If everyone starts on the Medium difficulty level, then the beginner will still develop much slower than a pro. TRUST ME, a pro will take full advantage of the fact that he started the game with resources. If everyone starts the game on Impossible, then the beginner will have to stand still for the first week, and the pro will still try to break through and eventually be far ahead. Pros will use the opportunity given to them by 120%, and a beginner only by 50%. THEREFORE, the choice of the overall DIFFICULTY level should not affect the final outcome of the tournament. And if it doesn't affect it, then why should we play on the Medium difficulty level? WE NEED TO SET OURSELVES THE TASK NOT TO GIVE OUT CONSOLATION PRIZES, BUT TO TEACH EVERYONE TO PLAY, AND NOT JUST PLAY, BUT PLAY WELL! ONLY THEN WILL WE ACHIEVE GOOD GAMEPLAY AND THE RESPECT OF OTHER PORTALS. IT WILL BE MUCH MORE INTERESTING TO PLAY WITH US. There is nothing wrong with starting to play with nothing. Pros always manage to build level 7 creatures in the first week - and this means that a beginner can theoretically do the same - WE MUST SHOW HIM THIS IN PRACTICE! This will be the highest reward for him, rather than a certificate for simple participation. In all the tournaments that I participated in, they were held on the Impossible level... and I learned to make many moves that pros make... I LEARNED! With respect, Prorock.

...what's going on in other forums, what level are they playing at?!
