The checkboxes for viewing air and earth creatures only affect their appearance in Pandora's boxes. They will still not appear in the guild.

Let's go over the Pitirus form one more time to make sure we haven't missed anything.

For WT tournaments in SoD, I suggest:

Also, there's a suggestion to use a castle randomizer + auction, just like in WT-full. I'm basically for it.

And what about the rest? By the way.

Ah, and also, would anyone be kind enough to share a link to some kind of physics guide or at least a decent manual for WT? I need to brush up on my knowledge, because it's embarrassing to say - I don't know how to, for example, evenly divide a stack of hot units into 7 slots, and I don't know/don't remember a bunch of other features, I know the classes at best at a three-plus level:D ...

Roads - medium, cobalt for Jebus. Time – 4000+500 Creature experience system (50%) - enabled Army tax - enabled Bank – enabled Money transfer before the first day – enabled No improved stack - enabled Disable neutral morale - enabled Disable classes – disabled Neutral city replacement – disabled, enabled for 2sm4d(3) Spell prohibition options: Air view - yes Earth view – yes Forbidden artifacts: Cloak of Negation - yes Sphere of Inhibition – yes Also, use the castle randomizer + auctions as in WT-full – yes

The rules are flexible; if they need to be established for voting, they'll use the ones from the previous post. If a Leader arrives, I'll gladly play by their rules, except I might ask them to allow for map restructuring.

Given the strange situation with the Moscow qualifiers, I would like to see some specifics regarding ours... The exact date, time, and club. And also, a request to Peter: to estimate approximately how much this will cost, as finances are not great right now, and it would be good to know in advance what to expect...

The dates seem to be set. Given the cold weather, it would be nice to postpone it by a week, but it's probably too late now, and people likely wouldn't agree. Regarding the rules, I'm currently more interested in experimenting with different strategies and restructuring the guild, but in principle, I can play according to any set of rules.

Due to the cold weather, it would be good to postpone it for a week.

You've gotten too comfortable... :) How many degrees are there in these "freezes"? :D

You guys are getting soft... :) How many degrees are there in these "freezes"? :D

Lol! Who would complain about the cold? :D :D :D

You guys are getting too comfortable... :) How many degrees are there in these "freezes"? :D

It's 8 degrees Celsius in the south of Ukraine. It's warm:D

Well, the promised -30 degrees didn't happen here either. On Friday morning it was 25, and from Friday to Saturday it was about the same, and now the thermometer shows -10 outside.

It's warm in the south of Ukraine. 8 degrees Celsius. :D

It was warm here today too. -19 degrees Celsius. :)

We have -15°C in the morning and -10°C during the day, but the forecast for the next weekend is -8°C to -4°C. It's quite tolerable, there's nothing to be afraid of. The selection process will take place as planned, from February 25th to 27th. It starts at 10:00 AM. Please let me know who is coming and when, preferably on the forum. We also need to determine who is still considering participating, as we already have our first dropout – it's Markon. Moscow has scheduled their selection for the same dates, so the choice is obvious.
The basic location will be the club, the same one as last year. If we have up to 8 people, I'll look for suitable accommodation for gaming, so we don't have to sit on sofas with our laptops.
There are 5 days left until the tournament, so tomorrow, February 21st, please let me know by the end of the day if you are still considering participating, and those who have signed up should confirm their participation.

Expenses:
1) Club - 40 UAH * 3 days = 120 UAH.
2) Accommodation - 60-80 UAH * 2 days = 120-160 UAH.
3) Food - 100-120 UAH * 3 days = 300-360 UAH
4) Cultural program - this depends on your appetites and possibilities; there is no specific plan. We'll decide on the spot what to do and where to go.

The settings for WT (War Tournament) under SoD (Sword of Destruction) based on the voting results are as follows:

The votes on experience and tax were split 4 to 4, but since everyone still wanted to adapt WT to SoD somehow, I'm disabling this nonsense.
The game will have a bank, there will be classes, there will be no morale and GS (Greater Skill). Also, the orb and cloak are disabled.

Restarts: 3 days in total, 2 days for Jebus, and for all other versions.

I will be there. I don’t have a laptop.

I will be there too, without my laptop.
By the way, what about the club? Is it still at the same location?
