Posts from Турнир "ФБ-6" -> Tournament "The Final Battle - 6"

to shpilеnger;
let me know when you're available to play.

14.09.2012 Medium_HP (red, Castle, Valeska, Jabarkas) def Piterius (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 6lm10a, SoD, 141

...on day 141, Kyrre, tormented by one-way gates, capitulated.

At the start, lots of gold; I got carried away with respawning, and by the time I crawled out and hit a one-way gate it was already day 114, then suffering. I revealed a super treasure zone and was just about to go there when Jabarkas blocked its border with two stacks of 5+ Archangels — a cool move, gotta say.

14.09.2012 Medium_HP (blue, Conflux, Monere, Monere) def Piterius (red, Rampart, Mephala, Mephala), 8mm6a, WT-full, 144

...the reds left a weakling with the Grail at a decent, but surmountable for Monere, distance from that very swamp. Aenain with Expert Flight, Dimension Door, with speed boost and stables on the last tiles reached the swamp, Monere Town Portaled there and on the last tile reached the Grail.

Thanks for the games.

There was such a good turn — after two drownings I took the opponent's main, bought water there for Mephala, portaled to a village for new treasure zones, but capped the ending with a blunder in army transport (mom was 40 MP short for another Town Portal), even though she could have easily stayed the night at home..
One could say Kostya got lucky, but luck, damn it, favors the strongest.

Thanks for the games!

The second participant in the Battle of the Best is Medium_HP, congratulations!

In the 9th post of the topic, there is a draw for the Battle of the Best (Kilgor, one of the few who wasn't asleep at 7 am Moscow time, acted as the random number generator today). Since there are already 2 participants, let's begin.
Each match is played until 2 wins.
I remind you that in the 3rd stage, the results of the matches from the second stage will be taken into account, i.e., Vitaly is rooting for Amiloo and bRitvo4kA to advance to the Battle of the Best, and Kostya is rooting for Tiamath, Kilgor, and Piterius. There will be no need to replay these matches.

The rules and templates are the same.
The time per turn will be determined based on the results of a vote by the players who advance to the Battle of the Best.
For now, we'll keep the old limit: 10 minutes for Jebus cross and XL templates, and 8 minutes for the rest.
Gomunguls has already voted for 10 minutes on all templates, so in the first pair, Gomunguls - Medium_HP, the time can be increased if Medium desires.

You have until October 15th for the first two games.
The colors for the first game are in the grid. In the second game, the colors will be switched.
In case of a draw, the third game is played with a random selection of Castles. In the first generation, the colors are the same as in the first game, then the colors are switched after each subjective restart.

Summarizing the results.
1 point is awarded for winning a match.
The winner of the Battle of the Best-6 will be the player who wins the most matches in the round-robin tournament.
I will write later how the winner will be determined in case of an equal number of points; I need to think about it.

Regarding the HD mod. I would like to make the version with password-protected saves mandatory in the Battle of the Best; it is very unpleasant to deal with situations with suspicions of map hacking, but it is too early for that, and the current version does not provide any guarantees.

Match shpilenger - OUTLAW. Let's go.
Judging by the information in shpilenger's profile:

Last activity: 08/25/2012 15:11

he either went somewhere on vacation or was so upset by the defeat against Tatiana in the team competition that he confirmed it and decided not to play Heroes anymore. Well, let's wait, maybe he will show up. Piterius is already waiting for the winner.

in any case, Shpilenzher is not responding...

Hi everyone! I stopped playing Heroes, sorry for not letting you know sooner.

Hello everyone! I stopped playing Heroes, sorry for not letting you know sooner.

So, we have the fourth semi-final:
OUTLAW vs Piterius.
Both have played in Factions Battles before, and both are worthy, but only one can advance.
The deadline for the first two games is October 15th.

17.09.2012 Gomunguls(Red,Stronghold,Gurnisson,Gurnisson)def Medium_Blue(Blue,Fortress,Tazar,Galthran)8xm8a,1.2.2
Took all my restarts, the opponent had 2 more...started off alright, everything is fine, there's a Griffin Conservatory 2...for 20-49 blue golems an external dwelling of monsters...on the first I destroyed the external dwelling of monsters, then the external dwelling of champions, on 121 I break the mini Griffin Conservatory in the treasure zone and transfer the army to the GG, there I break the Griffin Conservatory 2, visit the stables and get the log and head into the treasure zone...the opponent's game didn't take off.

17.09.2012 Gomunguls(Blue,Rampart, Kyrie, Kyrie)def Medium_Red(Red,Castle,Valeska,Orrin)8mm6a,1.1.5
On the first day 3 heroes, with an army of 17 elves and 50+ Centaurs including the dungeon army...there are fat neutral scout heroes and I revealed the stables...okay...on the second day I level up the log and reveal the Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Fly Hive...excellent! on the 5th day already around level 9 because I broke the max Dwarf Cottage, there are 8 heroes and another 7500 in gold...revealed a couple more Dragon Fly Hives...the opponent surrendered at the external dwelling of angels...
I open the map to see what was there...like on Jebus Cross probably..nearby there were piles of Dragon Fly Hives and several more Griffin Conservatories...now that would have been a game))...
Thanks for the games!!!

I didn't read the description of 8hm8, it turns out you need to have gold at home, but I started playing on a micro-respawn because of Gosha with 2 stacks, as a result when rebuilding Vašeks with a fort and four heroes there was no money left for buying out at all, I took one Dragon Fly Hive, and died on the guard of the second one.
In the second game the conservatory and Angel external dwelling tempted me to play, but again severe poverty, everything was slow, I really wanted to speed up, but I planned the capture of the external dwelling rather poorly, I didn't have enough ranged firepower.

Thanks for the games.

Final Results.
Winning a game awards 1 point, and winning a match awards 1 point.
The winner of FB-6 will be the player who wins the most matches in the round-robin tournament.
If two players have the same number of points, the higher ranking is determined by the winner of their head-to-head match.
If it is impossible to determine the ranking based on head-to-head matches, the criteria in order of priority are:
- greater number of wins in games,
- fewer number of losses in games,
- Berger coefficient based on the match table,
- Berger coefficient based on the game table.
I hope this is enough. If not, we'll have to come up with something else.

Gentlemen Stryfe - theShevanesian, how are things going?

We've played one and a half games, and Strief is leading 1:0. We're trying to finish the game, but there are some timing issues. We'll finish the second game soon.

If it is impossible to determine the places based on head-to-head matches, the criteria in order of priority are:
- greater number of wins in matches,
- smaller number of losses in matches,
- Berger coefficient based on the match table,
- Berger coefficient based on the game table.

The number of matches will be the same for everyone, and the number of games will most likely be different. Based on this, the criteria based on match results seem to be more important than those based on game results.
Therefore, I suggest making the third of the four additional criteria the first.

All players will have the same number of matches, but the number of games will likely be different. Based on this, criteria based on match results seem more important than those based on game results.
Therefore, I suggest making the third of the four additional criteria the first.

Yes, you are probably right. I will prioritize KB in matches. If there are any other considerations regarding the criteria, please write them down, and we will discuss them.
Ideally, if all matches are played to 2 wins, the criterion "more wins in games" will also not work.
I spent a long time working with the table, substituting numbers... I tried to simulate possible situations with withdrawals and incomplete games. Consistently, with an equal number of wins in matches, KB was almost always the same. That's why I "pushed" it further down the list.

13.09.2012 Stryfe (red, fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def theShevanesian (blue, rampart, Kyrre, Jenova) mini-nostalgia, 146
We started immediately without restarts. My computer opponents were necropolis, dungeon, and conflux; my opponent's were castle, inferno, and stronghold. On the first week, I picked up 3 gnoll huts on my native respawn, 2 lizard dens, a maxed skeleton transformer, and a 20-dwarf dwelling. On the conflux computer's respawn, I cleared a dwarf dwelling-15, where I had a very tough time — I lost 1 drake and many gnolls there, and then captured the computer's castle. On my main, I also found a hydra dwelling, but it was guarded by 20-49 minotaurs, so I was afraid to go for it in the first week (I took it at the start of the second week). At home, I built hydras in the castle with 1000. I didn't make it to the other computers — the roads were very long, and I was mostly just gathering gold and resources.
On the second week, I captured the Boots of Speed, the witch hut gave logistics, and I ran all my scouts through it and the stables (Tazar already had it along with earth magic) and went to take the dungeon computer's castle and then the scouted Griffin Conservatory. This turned out to be a big mistake, because I had to take a long detour to its castle, and there was no short road back to the conservatory. So I basically lost a week of development. But at the same time, the found external market helped me build birds in the conflux's citadel, and in the dungeon, manticores and 2k were already built.
At the start of the third week, I finally took the conservatory, which turned out to be maximum-level, and through the stables I ran my main into the dungeon's treasure zone. There, I took a Dragon Fly Hive, 10k experience, and, most importantly, all the air elementals from a Pandora's Box! Plans changed — now I decided to jump straight from this treasure zone into the central zone to get there as early as possible, and I didn't really want to beat my own ГО — it was 5+ faerie dragons. In the end, I took a Dragon Utopia in the treasure with Boots of Speed as the useful item, a couple more hives, and portal-ed into the center when week 4 was already underway. But I didn't stay there alone for long, and soon ran into Jenova, who had managed to gather a decent number of demons — nearly 190. But I had to attack her anyway, especially since by this moment I also had a good army — 10 chaos hydras, 40 monarchs, 20 psychics, 9 birds, and 4 angels. In the end, I fled the battlefield with 1 hydra and archers, leaving my opponent with 12 demons. The next day, after replenishing mana, I bought everything I could (leaving only the first-level scout heroes for conversion into skeletons) and portal-ed onto the opponent's territory and attacked the castle, where Jenova was sitting with 1 centaur. All the artifacts were on her, and my opponent decided not to continue. 1-0
19.09.2012 Stryfe (blue, conflux, Monere, Neela) def theShevanesian (red, castle, Caitlin, Vidomina) panic, 124
I drew a decent pair for this template. From the start, Neela came, and I decided to make her my main. On the first week, I captured a secondary necropolis, an external air elemental dwelling, and built birds in the fort (though for that I had to clear almost all the gold piles that were in sight). On the respawn, I found a conservatory 2-4. I took it on day 123 with the loss of 2 psychics, water elementals, and a few air elementals (it turned out to be 3 angels). Then the scout heroes broke through to the next zone, where monks took out 1 of my birds. The next day, I met Vidomina there, who had 3 angels, 260+ skeletons, and various other small fry. I attacked, and the final battle was decided by morale (-2 for my opponent and +1 for me) and Neela's stats (+2+2 sword, +5 shield, and a +1+1 ring from the start). 2-0
Thanks for the games!

I agree. In the first game, there would have been good chances if the opponent hadn't guessed which secondary skill to jump to, and in the second, the found artifacts decided everything. Thanks for the games!

22.09.2012 Maretti (blue, ramp, ivor, gundula def Kilgor (red, necro, ?, galthran) 141 on 8xm8

Decent start in richness. Managed to build unis with citadel. Went with Ivor as main but when he was offered water at 4 and got balistics from scolar I changed to Gundula. Took some hives and then air book and from observatory I could see soj and a dung town, so went for that to get dbl mana.

136 opponent flies in and takes my town but left Galthran with 3 single angels on. I could get back with DD and killed 2 with chain lightning and the 3rd one with 1 angel and pegasis. I got his arts including boots and 12 shield but he still had a big army left so didnt give up. Next turn I wanted to rush him before he could get stronger and make a new main. He had been lucky to get galthran again but he stood right by the portal i went through, this time with 5 angels in 3 stacks. No problem for my chain lightning. GG

22.09.2012 Maretti (red, flux, ?, mephala) def Kilgor (blue, necro, Galthran) 125 on jebus

Pretty empty map but many small dwells and 1 lvl 7 dwell I found week 1. Found a 2nd week 2 so attacked a tope with 11 firebirds, airs, waters, earths and some wyvs with mass bless and got air book from there.

Broke 124 by 5 rust dragons and could see a town from the road. Needed to fly over there the next day but then opponent took it. He had a very long turn. When it finally ended I took the town with a scout, got dbl mana on meph from a dung town in my area and attacked.

He only had horde skells on, so i managed to kill him after getting moral on my pixies. Apparently time had run out on him, which was very lucky for me since he was very strong with good arts and a big army. GG

2 lucky wins, but they all count. Thanks for playing.
