maybe it would be easier to learn about them at an earlier stage with easier opponents; anyway, by round 3, there will be a clear winner among all these cards!
Besides, if some card(s) don't appeal to you, just discard them.

Proposed changes to the tournament rules (and tournaments in general):
1) Actually, I would suggest that the organizers make it a mandatory requirement that, at the stage when 8 players remain, they "STREAM"! Each player in online mode (a live broadcast, so to speak) must stream, regardless of whether anyone is watching or not, by providing a link to the stream in the corresponding thread. This would essentially ensure that the strongest player wins!
What would prevent someone from watching their opponent's stream during their break? Or am I missing something?

The topic of cheating has become quite extensive (again...). Let's put an end to it.

Everything is going back to square one once again. There's still no protection against cheating. The only possible solution remains password-protected saves, where access to the save file can be obtained by mutually entering passwords from two machines, and the game resumes. The saves are stored on an independent server. We can only hope that one day Baratorch will refine this idea and implement it.

Well, I could write such a program; I'll think about it.

Why was the decision made to abandon large groups?
There simply weren't enough people to form large groups; there were only 27 participants. Until the very last day, there were only 24 players registered. Tanya got to know each one, and reviewed their save files. Taking all the registered and newly registered players would have a high probability of some dropping out. The last tournaments had 56 participants, twice as many. That's why the groups were twice as large.
If those who were eliminated in the first round want to continue playing in this tournament, we can organize games to determine the rankings from 19th to 27th place. It's not difficult to create a draw; would you like that? This is how it used to be done in the "Seasons" tournaments. This would result in another 4 games, maybe even more, we need to think about it, plus games with players of a similar level.
We can continue this pattern further down the bracket, i.e., those eliminated in the second round will play for 13th to 18th place, and so on.
Do the players want this? If so, let us know, and we'll do it.

Is holding a group stage a matter of principle for the organizers? My opinion, of course, is not based on experience, but if I were an organizer, I would hold all tournaments immediately in a double-elimination format. In my opinion, the group stage only complicates both the organization process and the lives of the participants. It's okay when there are many people, but when there are only 27 participants, it's clear that a double-elimination format should be used. The only downside, of course, is that this way, fewer games will be played, but I don't see the point in trying to play as many games as possible specifically in a tournament; you can just play casual games. A tournament is a means of testing how good you are, and if a player is weak and doesn't aim for high places, why does he need to play many tournament games?

I support the Icthyander... double or illumination is the optimal option.

Everyone is so smart – it’s unbelievable. If you want, organize and run a tournament yourself – show everyone how it should be done.

You're all so smart – it's ridiculous! If you want, organize and run your own tournament – show everyone how it should be done!

There's no argument here. Thanks to Tanya and Pete for the tournament! But in my opinion, it would be better to play double elimination, best-of-3, because sometimes the initial matchup has a significant impact, and playing 3 games provides a more accurate determination of the strongest player.
P.S. I'm writing this not because I think I was unfairly eliminated.

I actually like this system better. As Scorpion and Pete said, the goal is to get to know each other and play together. We had a great time playing with our opponents in the group. We're already practicing with each other on custom maps. Want a full double match with 50+ players? Wait for the general tournaments and show off your skills! ;)
By the way, if you play a full double, you lose twice and that's it, but here you can lose once in a round and still stay in. Best of 3 is just a huge number of games... a newbie until the new year :)

No one here is saying that the organization is bad or that it's not being organized properly.
People are just expressing their opinions. And, in my opinion, a full double-elimination system is more fun than a group stage.

I saw a fairly large resource spawn and many paths, with wolves built and Gurnisson in the tavern. I bought birds, reached the passage to the secondary resource (50-99 wolves) on turn 112, attacked, but quick-battle was activated... I consider tournament auto/replay to be unfair, even though it's disappointing. Thank you for the game.
