during the first week, players should not cross over to the opponent's side.

but what about rushing with mages? This makes the game less interesting.

Just like with most maps where the rules allow for a restart upon encountering the enemy. There are fixes and specially created maps for such tactical maneuvers in the early stages of the game.
So, play the mirrored hypercube). And soon I will release a version of this map for M-size - there, in certain cases, you can even rush on 111).

Thanks for the game!

It was a mistake to go for the pink Dungeon — I encountered the opponent's upgraded mage with lightning dealing 1100+ damage there. On the horizon there was an excellent treasure zone with lots of water elementals, 3 Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Fly Hive, and boxes, but there was sand and no pathfinding... In short, I overthought it... Thank you for the game!!

started with Stinger.

I'm very glad that many people chose the panic template as an additional one.

They will happily remove it for you as well.

Two houses with 2 portals in the center on turn 123 with 10 angels and some weaker units with good stats but no magic. Luckily, he didn't have any magic either! Thanks for the game.

Tournament standings:
Draw for the 1st round:
5. Redwhait_HP - Alessandro

I am available to play almost every day for 3 hours, from 6 PM to 9 PM Moscow time, provided we arrange it in advance, one day before.

13. PREDS - Kobra_RR [/QUOTE]
Did you specifically arrange that?

ProtosArchon (Castle, Lord Haart, Broghild) def GoD (Necro, Galthran, Galthran) 8mm6a, 1.4.5

I was lucky and got Broghild plus angel dwell. I even got one AA from refugee camp wk2. Took more topes and cons than opponent, gg. Thx for game!

2Alex: We should have watched the replay. There was no cheating.

I made a change regarding bypassing the guards between levels for h3dm1. I uploaded the Frozen Dragons map. I think the rules are now finalized.

13. PREDS - Kobra_RR
Did you intentionally arrange the pairings like that?

In a Swiss-system tournament, the fact that two strong players play each other in the first round doesn't have any impact. It's a different story with a knockout system.

Redwhite, step up and fight!!!

ATTENTION:

Some inconsistencies with the mirror match templates have been discovered. Specifically, by default, mirror matches are played with new creature pools (see the manual for details). However, since these templates are assigned by the players themselves, they have the right to change this option. Therefore: by default, mirror matches are played with new creature pools; if someone has a different opinion and wants to play with old creature pools, and has declared their mirror match template as "their own," please post in this thread.

Some inconsistencies with the mirror maps have come to light. Specifically, by default, mirror maps are played with new creature banks (see the manual for details).

What nonsense is this? New creature banks are only associated with mirror maps through joint installation. Any map can be played with them, whether it's a mirror map or a regular one.
Yes, the h3dm1 map is traditionally played with new creature banks because it usually has many hives, and playing with old creature banks is less interesting.

On other mirror maps, there isn't enough of a difference to talk about any established rules. In my opinion, playing on any map, including non-mirror maps, is more interesting with new creature banks.
It should be noted that the increased strength of guardians in the new creature banks does not allow them to be fully utilized on maps that are not rich in resources and have a lot of contact between players. Therefore, for example, it makes no sense to play Hypercube, whether it's a mirror map or a regular one, with new creature banks.

But you were right in suggesting that the mirror Hypercube should also be played with new creature banks :) Only for this, it is necessary to reduce the strength of the guardians specifically for this map, which is technically not difficult to implement.

Lizard (Necr, Gosh, Gosh) def theShevanesian (Sneg, Ain, Octavia) 131, 8mm6a

Basically, the game was won in the bidding. 2800 for a red necro is a steal. The game was slightly marred by desyncs. When I was being attacked (whether by the AI or Sheva), I couldn't see the battlefield... In the end, we decided not to hold the FB. 350+ rank 10 skeletons wiped out everything in one hit. Plus, there was Oil and Haste. Thanks for the game!
