Posts from 1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

The final results of the Best of the Best Tournament have been announced! :smile01:

Mozaik:

Only 3 players found the strength and patience to pursue every enemy:
Adelaide;
Mozaik;
WAD.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Are there any tournaments planned for the near future?

To be honest, I don't use trainers or cheat codes; I've discussed this many times on various online forums.
I'm old school; I don't like that kind of gameplay, and maybe that's a drawback...

Except for the map editor... :D :smile13:

....I would like to hear your opinion about the tournament! All its pros and cons, what would you like to change in the rules, in the tournament itself. This information would play an important role in the next Best of the Best tournament.....
With great respect, VDV_forever

I agree 100 percent;) That's not right. In clan application forms, many indicate that they can play with any heroes and cities, so play with what you have, don't look for good heroes...:)

Exactly! And in general, play in offline tournaments without saves :)
But seriously, maybe we shouldn't confuse Online and Offline games?

1) There was no need to create two starting saves, as the players ended up in unequal conditions, and surprisingly, it turned out to be easier on impossible than on normal...

2) The map is too large, and replaying it (if you want to change your tactics) is, to put it mildly, not appealing.

3) Regarding the possibility of bypassing events (like the surprise from VDV_forever) - in my opinion, this is a bug...

pluses... everything else...:smile02:
-very interesting and beautiful map
-a huge number of possible ways to complete it

Not everyone noticed the difference, which is a shame (CLONE). I'll be smarter next time... I'll make sure that the two saves are radically different from each other!

That is, there will still be two saves? But why? Only three people played on Normal, and so what? They could have easily played on Impossible instead, but instead, they got an imbalance in the rating where Lelya, having completed it in 412 days, overtakes everyone on the Impossible level, starting from 13th place (and from 116 to 372 days), where is the logic?
Please comment.
Sincerely.

3. Players from two groups will NOT compete against each other, and the rating will not be counted for "normal" mode! All other bonuses – grails, etc. – will be preserved.

Didn't we want to calculate their rating without taking into account the difficulty coefficients of the map? So, should we go back? Or should we not calculate their rating at all?

I suggested it as an exception, only for a specific tournament... There was no reaction to my proposal, which means it was rejected. But here, we're talking about future tournaments. The rating won't be calculated for normal difficulty. We simply can't integrate it in any way, considering the calculation mechanism.

I need to know now specifically from someone, whether or not to count the rating for normal. And if we are counting it, should those coefficients be used or not? Let's assume this question is addressed to VDV.

But I already sent VDV a calculation based on my system and with coefficients.

1. We won't be using the "Normal" difficulty in the future. It's just not serious. The coefficients were pulled out of thin air. What was the point of arguing about the details of the calculation and its connection to reality if we're just going to insert some unknown value from who knows where?

2. If VDV agrees to include the scores of the three current "Normal" players in the overall standings (without infringing on the interests of the "Impossible" players), then that's how it should be. If they don't agree, then we'll forget about it.

Has a system already been adopted? I haven't seen any announcements about it.

But how can it be done without disadvantaging anyone, especially since they don't all have the lowest coefficients?
