Posts from No SOD!

The tournament called "SoD is out! And who cares anyway" starts on two resources of the Heroes community. The WT-FULL version will be played. There are 5 templates to choose from: three standard ones – 8mm6a, 8хм12а, Jebus Cross and two additional ones. The goal of the tournament is to identify the strongest player, so the deadlines are relatively flexible; the principle of fair play is paramount. For added interest and intrigue, players with insufficient online experience in the WT version will receive a handicap. Here you will find instructions and an overview of the WT game version... /topic/at/576496/ The prize pool is $130. Prizes are distributed among the players who take the first three places, and separately to the player who wins the most beautiful match of the tournament - the hero's favorite award. 1st place 40%, 2nd, 3rd place + prize for the best match 20%-20%-20%. The playing system is Swiss + final match between the players who took first and second place. Settings (you can download the file below): Experience - enabled, bank - enabled, tax - enabled, classes - enabled, morale - disabled, Mage Guild - disabled, ban on red ball, cloaks, medals of valor. A chess timer 4500+500 will be used. Anti-cheat: enabled if at least one of the players expresses a desire to use it. Each registered player must write down their template (condition – playability), naturally excluding the three already specified ones. This results in 5 templates for each pair. Template repetitions are possible. Regarding the handicap: a participant in the tournament who is not an active player in the WT-Full version receives an additional bonus at the start. He will have a choice from several "boxes": - receive a cash bonus at the start (an additional 1500 coins at the start, deducted from the opponent's account). - receive a castle selection bonus - in this case, the player will start with a specific castle chosen by him, but with a random hero. His opponent will always start with all random settings. - receive a color bonus - choose your starting position for free. - receive a SoD setting bonus - change one checkbox in the WT settings according to his choice - for example, remove experience for troops or play with morale enabled. It is allowed to change any checkbox except for rebuilding the Mage Guild. ATTENTION: The WT chat is not moderated, so those for whom swearing is undesirable can use the "disable chat" function.

Tournament regulations, all the details: The tournament will be held in an open format; I'm really looking forward to various broadcasts and streams, preferably with announcements. I plan to do a quick review after each round, focusing on the most interesting matches. More specifically: The tournament starts on June 1, 2012, and players have two weeks per round. Etiquette: It is highly undesirable to "dynamo" your opponent (i.e., intentionally play poorly). If you are unsure of yourself, exchange phone numbers so as not to put each other in an awkward position. After the game, upload save files in case there are any claims about the best match. Mechanics: This tournament is not an "official" Heroesworld tournament. Decisions regarding controversial issues will be made by the organizer. The opinions of members of the Arbitration Committee (AK) are considered recommendations. Economics: The tournament system is Swiss-style, but first place will be decided in an additional game. Players whose nicknames have (*) next to them are entitled to use an extra bonus. You can find information about standard map schemes here: /topic/6313/ Mirror map schemes: Game rules: Difficulty level: 160%, roads are medium everywhere except for Jebus Cross (fast) and mirror Jebus Cross (fast). At the beginning, players choose a map scheme: Selection works like this: the player who goes first chooses a map. Choosing one map costs 500 coins. At any time, you can refuse to choose (pass), then your opponent can eliminate as many maps from the set as they want (except for the last one) at the same price. After that, their opponent chooses a map from the remaining ones. For example: FireToSky vs Mee FireToSky starts choosing: mirror Jebus Cross (additional map for Mee) - 500 Mee: - pass FireToSky: -8hm12a - 500 coins FireToSky: -8mm6a - 500 coins Mee chooses a map from the two remaining, receiving 1500 coins as a starting advantage. http://www.heroeswt.net/forum//topic/221/ In total, all trading results are summed up – bidding for a map, bidding for a castle, bidding for a color, handicap of the player if required. Money is transferred through the window on the first day of the game by those with red color. The following maps will be played in the tournament: 8mm6a, 8hm12a, 6lm10a, 8hm8a, Jebus Cross, h3dm1, hypercube, mirror hypercube, mirror Jebus, mini-nostalgia, 2cm4d(3), Panic and Balance, Frozen Dragons Difference for h3dm1 map: players start with identical castles that are chosen randomly. Regeneration is possible for 500 coins, but only once. If the castle repeats, free regeneration is possible. Then, players bid for colors; the one who starts blue chooses the starting hero. Red starts with the same hero. On this map, you can take objects from behind shifted guards and use unguarded passages without restrictions. In the first week, it is forbidden to break into the opponent's plane. Differences for Jebus Cross map: - Restart at the request of the player whose only road leads to the control point. This is done on the day this fact is discovered. - Restart at the request of the player who does not have a road to the central treasure zone. This is done on the day this fact is discovered. - Using "Angel Wings" and the spells "Fly" and "Dimension Door" when moving from one zone to another is allowed only if the guard between them has been defeated. - In case of buggy paths appearing between zones, it is possible to move to an adjacent zone only if the control point in the center has been defeated from both zones. Differences for mirror Jebus map: timer 5000+600, artifacts, Pandora's prisons must be broken through in any case (even if there is control). On all mirror maps, by default, a script is used for new creature banks. Registration is closed. Registration is now only possible as a replacement.

For added interest and overall intrigue, players with limited online experience in the beta version will receive a handicap.

What will this handicap consist of?

Yeah, the tournament didn't really spark much interest among the SOD community, to put it mildly.

If all the strongest players sign up, I’ll join in too. Mirror jab. 227227076

2TheShevanesian: There's a bit too much pessimism. In just 2 days, over 50% of the players needed for a proper start have already signed up. I'm still working on the prize pool, but I think we can start in June. If 2-3 new players from the WT version participate, I'll be happy. There's a group of players who are considered leaders in the SOD community. They're used to being the best there, and frankly, it probably doesn't make much sense for them to participate in an event where, given the competitive field, they could lose to anyone. It would be great to attract a few players who aren't heavily involved in the WT community. Let's see how it goes. Just a reminder to everyone: if you have questions, it's best to discuss them privately via ICQ 373347222 or in the WT chat with the nickname Indra. To avoid confusion with the templates, I've corrected the main post. To clarify: naturally, choosing "your own" template shouldn't match the already specified ones (Jebus Cross, 8mm6a, 8xm12a), as strong players shouldn't be limited to understanding only standard structures. Regarding a possible handicap for participants who aren't active players in the WT-Full version: I've added this to the beginning. When playing between two "relatively new" players, there is no bonus. I'll post the rules for each template later. P.S. Could one of the moderators restore the deleted post (the 3rd one) so that it can be adapted for the tournament table?
