Posts from “Who is stronger?” – Evil versus Good.

If someone could tell me what the difference is between 4.18 and 5.0b, and also between 4.17 (from which the wheel was taken), that would be great.

It's unclear what changes were made, and they say that this was strengthened, and that was not. It's unsettling to play without knowing the changes.

Thanks to whoever can point me to where I can read about these changes.

I have 2 questions:
Why mod 4.18? Version 5.0b is more than playable without glitches, and the humans and necromancers are balanced there. I suggest using it!
And there are many questions about the draw. I assume that the pairings were determined at the discretion of the organizer, which is complete nonsense. The draw should be completely random, in my opinion.
I ask the experienced players to share their opinions on my questions. It's clear in advance what it's like with the "kindergarten" – they just want simple games in the sandbox.

Version 4.18 is currently the most suitable for the tournament (as it avoids any unsolvable issues in the game). We will introduce version 5.0 as soon as it has been thoroughly tested (I don't think it will take much time).
The draw was not at the discretion of the organizers. The HeroesLeague ranking was used as a basis, as the ranking on this site has not been updated for a long time and is outdated. Each group was divided into 2 parts:
- players with a ranking from 1st to 15th place
- the remaining players.
The draw was carried out within these groups using a random number generator, and the color of the player in the pair was also determined by a draw...
In light of the above, I would like Vip.rus to explain where the "complete nonsense" lies.

I withdraw my question regarding the version. As for the draw, it wasn't specified anywhere that seeding would be used for the first round; the standard option is a random selection. But I won't argue about it since everyone else seems to be okay with it.
My opponent, dwp, is on vacation, and judging by the timeframe, it might last for 2 rounds. Should we wait?

Wow, what a great draw! It makes the game interesting for everyone! And then, victories upon victories... although, where will we get so many "good" winners? )))

That's a great idea. Logically, the main thing is that the evil factions play against the good factions. In the end, the winning good factions should randomly pair with the winning evil factions. And then, all the others are randomly paired for the second round. For the third round, first, the good and evil factions with 2 points each play, then those with 1 point each, and then all the others, and so on. I agree, it's much more complicated to draw such a tournament, but the main thing is the principle of randomness.
