1.1. A beautiful new world. 8 players
1.2. A beautiful new world 1 (upgrade). 8 players

Will 8 people be able to play at the same time?
2 people are already having problems with finishing the game, and playing with 8 people, with inevitable unfinished games, seems simply impossible.

8 people can play very well on the S-U map :D

To speed up the game, it is advisable to use autobattle against neutral creatures and weak enemy heroes. It is also recommended to create no more than a certain number of heroes at the same time - by agreement - 2. In addition, after each player is eliminated from the game, the total game time is reduced compared to the stated time. (Rounding up to the nearest whole number in calculations)

For those who enjoy long games:
1.1. The New World. Single player with bots: optimally 100 turns (range 85 - 115 turns)
1 minute per turn + 20 seconds per bot turn = 100 minutes + 20 = 120 minutes = 2 hours.
1.2. The New World. Team game with 8 participants: 2 * 8 = 16 hours. 4 evenings of 4 hours each. Taking into account eliminations = 2 evenings of 5 hours each. (We will take the elimination coefficient as 0.33)
2.1. The New World (C). With bots: Similar to 1.1 or slightly faster.
2.2. The New World (C). Team game. 2 * 4 = 8 hours. 2 evenings of 4 hours each.
3.1. The Pandora's Box. With bots: 3 hours.
3.2. The Pandora's Box. Team game. 3 hours * 5 participants = 15 hours. 4 evenings of 4 hours each. Taking into account eliminations = 3 evenings of 4 hours each. (Since 5 people are eliminated, not 8 as in The New World, we will take the elimination coefficient as 0.25)

For those who enjoy fast games:
Upgrades (the tournament is mainly focused on them):
4.1. The New World 1. Single player with bots: optimally 50 turns (40 - 60 turns)
1 minute per turn + 20 seconds per bot turn = 50 + 10 = 60 minutes = 1 hour.
4.2. The New World 1 team game with 8 participants. 1 * 8 = 8 hours. Taking into account eliminations: 6 hours. 2 evenings of 3 hours each.
5.1. The World (C) 1. With bots: 1 hour.
5.2. The World (C) 1. Team game 1 hour * 4 participants (+ 4 bots) = 4 hours. Taking into account eliminations: 3 hours. - Optimal option
6.1. The Pandora's Box 1. With bots: 2 hours
6.2. The Pandora's Box 1 team game. 2 * 5 = 10. Taking into account eliminations = 7 hours. 2 evenings - 4 and 3 hours each.

They made it here too...

The author is awesome!!!!

I don't agree with the regulations, and I don't want to participate in the tournament.

For those who enjoy LONG games:
1.1. Beautiful New World. Single-player game with bots: optimally 100 turns (range 85 - 115 turns)
1 minute per turn + 20 seconds per bot turn = 100 minutes + 20 = 120 minutes = 2 hours.
1.2. Beautiful New World. Team game with 8 participants: 2 * 8 = 16 hours. 4 evenings of 4 hours each. Taking into account eliminations = 2 evenings of 5 hours each. (elimination rate of 0.33)
2.1. Beautiful New World (C). With bots: Similar to 1.1 or slightly faster.
2.2. Beautiful New World (C). Team game: Similar to 1.2 or faster.

Hahahaha

8 people can play very well on the S-U map :D

I think 8 is even too few :D

On the other hand, someone put in the effort, so why not? Maybe something good will come of it.

There are many underdeveloped nuances, but they can be eliminated over time, the tournament format can be refined, and maybe some other maps can be added.

I think it would be interesting to hold such mini-tournaments in the club, with 8 people playing all night or on the weekend, on random M+U or L-U maps. Or maybe create a couple of maps yourself - with the same starting conditions and access to the central treasure.

Will there be a broadcast of such a grand and large-scale tournament?

Warning: Michel has started to lower the Battle Rating (BR) of all players who criticize his "creation."

What is a broadcast? *** Wouldn't it be better to draw a bracket with 4 players per map and play a more or less normal game, with a time limit of 2 minutes, instead of quick battles and two heroes?

What is a stream?

Michael-13 hacked Lider and is writing from his account.

As always, there are more people who are just here to stir up trouble than there are people who are actually interested in the topic. Instead of just moving on and doing something more productive, they feel the need to share their "authoritative" opinion, even if it's completely irrelevant and, quite often, negative. It's like they're trying to show how important they are by causing problems in other people's discussions. It's like a bunch of kids in a sandbox. Don't they feel embarrassed?

Let me tell you something insightful, but please don't take offense. On this forum, people (or rather, most people) try to improve their gameplay: they study templates, learn how to fight neutrals early in the game, learn how to build chains with 8 or more heroes, watch top players' streams to learn something new, and so on. What you are suggesting completely contradicts the purpose of people being here, namely playing with 2 heroes and fighting using auto-combat, and all that on some overused, unbalanced map. For this reason, your topic is ridiculed, and you won't find anyone interested here. By the way, a game played in Michurinsk for Brave New World was even reported by Nagan in a contest. /topic/at/426644/

Thank you for the link. The report you mentioned accurately reflects the perception of newcomers about this wonderful new world as just another standard map. This statement is absolutely incorrect. If you play a few times, and even more attentively, even against the AI, you will notice that the initial position doesn't determine the winner. Only in THIS map do completely different rules apply, not the ones mentioned in the report, for example. And, as you rightly noted, the map is "unbalanced." The point is to be able to play at an expert level on a specific map, to use any opportunities the terrain offers, and to exploit your own advantages and the weaknesses of your opponent. (You have no idea how much the map differs tactically and strategically from your standard random maps, where two opponents with equal starting conditions simply butt heads like rams. Although, I personally have nothing against "your rules" - there's no accounting for taste.) (Also, the report doesn't mention what level the AI is playing at. Here, they are playing at 200%.) Meanwhile, there are those who want to play under the conditions mentioned in this thread. If random people like you kept quiet, there would be more participants. As Oscar Wilde said: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
