Posts from [MMH6 TOURNAMENT ON] 6th attempt.

The Skype conference summarizing the results of the second round was successfully held :) The results are as follows: The map for the third round: Прилив. The best way to solve the Steam-Book problem is to buy the Steam version for yourself. Changes to the tournament rules: - It is forbidden to use a secondary hero from the Necropolis faction. Exception: if you are playing as a Necromancer or playing against a Necromancer. - From the third round, a mandatory race ban will be introduced. The ban will be carried out without randomization, simply from all available races. I will try to improve my tool to accommodate this, but if I don't have time, you can ban via email, Skype, etc. - It is forbidden to cast the Sacrifice spell (second level of Tears of the Necromancer) on a vampire. - It is forbidden to equip the Guardian Breastplate artifact.

Finally, the Third Round has begun. Changes to the rules: - It is forbidden to use a secondary hero from the Necropolis faction. Exception: if you are playing as a Necromancer or playing against a Necromancer. - From the third round, a mandatory race ban will be introduced. The ban will be carried out without randomization, simply from all available races. For now, we are banning via email, Skype, etc. What is a race ban: Each player initially has 5 factions available. Players sequentially ban one race for themselves or their opponent. They play with the races that remain after the ban. - It is forbidden to cast the Sacrifice spell (second level of Tears of the Necromancer) on a vampire. - It is forbidden to equip the Guardian Breastplate artifact. - Players of the Naga faction are forbidden to move across water without boats. We now have 3 bots: Bot_1, 2, 3. If they are your opponents, you automatically win. The deadline for the end of the second round is March 25, 2012. Please note that the deadline will not be extended! The next round will begin as soon as all participants have played their first game. So, check the tournament table periodically ;)

[/U]Finally, the Second Round has begun.

Map: "Shattered Alliance".
Map restrictions:
1) It is forbidden to choose the 2nd starting location.
2) It is forbidden to use portals leading to the central island for three weeks.

Why is it forbidden to choose the 2nd starting location? And where is it located, by the way? I haven't paid attention before to where the 1st and 2nd starting locations are. :)
And why is it forbidden to use the portals?

The Skype conference on the results of the second round was successfully held. :)

The results are as follows:

Map for the third round: Tide.

Changes to the tournament rules:

- It is forbidden to cast the Sacrifice spell (second level of Tears of the Necromancer) on a vampire.

Why is it forbidden to cast the Sacrifice spell (second level of Tears of the Necromancer) on a vampire? And has anyone actually managed to develop the second level of Tears of the Necromancer?

Why is it forbidden to cast the Sacrifice spell (second level of Necromancer's Tears) on a vampire? And does anyone even manage to develop the second level of Necromancer's Tears?

Oh, they definitely manage. People get the second level of Tears/Blood (there are ways to get it even on the first week) by the second week.
The vampire goes into defense mode, and its "out of time" ability makes the entire army almost invulnerable.

He manages just fine. People are already getting the second level of Tears/Blood on the second week (there are ways to get it on the first week as well).
The Vampire goes into defense, and his "out of time" ability makes almost the entire army invulnerable.

Thank you for the answer!
But I have another question:)
What techniques allow you to get the 2nd level of Tears/Blood in the first week?

Thank you for the answer!

What techniques allow you to get the 2nd level of Tears/Blood within the first week?

I don't know, but the fact remains. They level up very quickly.

The next Skype conference will be held on March 23rd at 9:30 PM.
This time, there will be no stream, as Skype doesn't work well with XSplit. Instead, I will record the conference locally and then upload it to the internet.

Join us ;)
Add me on Skype: g-r-e-e-n-e-g-o
Before the conference, write that you want to join. Those who are already in the conference don't need to do anything.

My opponent, PgDn.Ins, is still silent. I wrote to him on Skype last Tuesday. Aaaauuu, PgDn.Ins, do you see this???

The Vampire goes into defense mode, and its "Timeless" ability makes almost the entire army invulnerable.

Could you clarify? Because "Timeless" only makes the first attack on the Vampire unsuccessful. Can the Vampire be defeated starting from the second attack? Or am I misunderstanding something, or am I missing some nuances?

Results of the Skype conference. This time there were fewer people, but we still came to some definite conclusions: - Map for the next round: Rise to Power. Only starting positions 1 and 4 can be chosen. - Changes to the rules: - - Capturing dwellings of elite creatures is prohibited before the third week. - - Choosing units of other races is prohibited. - - The game will now be played on a difficult level. - The strategy with Necro-Spirits is powerful, but a good player can counter it, so it shouldn't be banned. - We need to discuss the next ban: prohibiting Orcs (and everyone else) from using the Fortress.

Could you clarify? Because "timeless" only makes the first attack on a vampire unsuccessful. From the second attack on, can the vampire be defeated? Or am I misunderstanding something or missing some nuances?

In the case of sacrificing, all attacks on other creatures are unsuccessful.

If a sacrifice is applied, all attacks on other creatures are unsuccessful :)

I know that. You can also apply the sacrifice to Weavers; they have 3 times more Health than vampires. And the fact that the first attack on vampires is unsuccessful if they are in defense mode doesn't seem like a significant advantage, in my opinion. Or am I misunderstanding something? Although, in a tournament, you know better.

Finally, the Fourth Round has begun.

Map: Rise to Power

Changes to the rules:
- In the map options, you must now set the difficulty to "Hard".
- Capturing dwellings of powerful creatures is prohibited before the third week.
- Using a secondary hero of a different Faction is prohibited. Exception: if you are playing against a Necromancer, you can purchase Necromancer heroes.
- Starting from the third round, a mandatory race elimination will be introduced. The elimination will be done without randomization, simply choosing from all available Factions.
You can coordinate the elimination via email, Skype, etc. In addition, I have updated my program. Now you can select the "All available Factions" option.
What is race elimination: Each player initially has 5 Factions available.
Players sequentially eliminate one race for themselves or their opponent. They play with the races that remain after the elimination.
- Casting the Sacrifice spell (second level of Tears of the Necromancer) on a Vampire is prohibited.
- Equipping the Guardian Breastplate artifact is prohibited.
- Players of the Naga Faction are prohibited from moving on water without boats.

We now have 4 bots: Bot_1, 2, 3, 4. If you encounter them as opponents, you automatically win.

The deadline for the end of the second round is April 15, 2012. Please note that the deadline will not be extended!

The next round will begin as soon as all participants have played their first game. So, check the tournament table periodically ;)

GreenEGO, is the tournament still ongoing?

Yeah, something like that :)

It simply states that April 15th is the deadline. This means that the round with the tournament could have ended earlier, and GreenEGO might have forgotten about the topic on HeroesWorld.

This is the deadline for round 4. But if, for example, an opponent disappears or cannot play, you have to wait until the end.
