But there's a rule that you need to defeat the guard of the passage. How can you pass through a bugged passage if the guard of the passage is in another zone, and you need to defeat it?

As Captain Obvious points out, this is a different passage, and it doesn't have a guard, which is why it's called bugged. And the rules clearly state that if there is no guard at the passage, you can pass through it. And in tournaments, these passages are used; I've seen it many times in the reports. If you don't believe us, ask Pete; he wrote these rules, if I'm not mistaken.

Hi I would like to participate in this tournament Icq 646842306 Stronghold.I'm not a newbie

In Balance, bugged maps are very often generated.
Another insidious thing is that there is no guard between some zones. Even an experienced eye can't always determine where there should be guard and where there shouldn't.
What's more, the terrain of an adjacent area can turn out to be identical to the one you're coming from. Although this happens on all templates. And what should I do if I end up on an adjacent respawn with the same terrain type, especially on Jebus Cross, especially if a ramp vs ramp is being played (and they turn out to be neighbors).
There are essentially no rules for Balance and its add-ons (only for starting options). And the template, in principle, is not a tournament one (precisely because of frequent bugs), it's just that foreigners play it out of habit (it's in the same position for them as sm-ka was for us). Just now I generated two maps — both turned out to be bugged. On the first one, one road leads straight to a minotaur horde — a disaster for the game (on sm-ka, such a thing gets rerolled), on the second one, there's a missing passage into sand (absent). And I played recently (on a conditional schematic drawing) — a teleport appeared in the mountains and created a bugged passage to me (the red Inferno). I can see that it's a bugged passage, but I don't tell my opponent (since I didn't want to reveal my location), and I wait for the right moment when he appears in the teleport to tell him not to come to me. But the opponent killed the guard very quickly and ran straight to my main town, and I didn't even have time to write anything. And the map is revealed as a result, too. And there will be many variations of such situations on Balance. That's why the add-on rules for Balance need to be seriously revised, or this template needs to be replaced.

The balance is just a terrible template, to be honest. :-)

But in reality, it's true that guards never fail to spawn – or rather, it happens in exceptional cases, which are essentially serious generation bugs (for example, when an entire zone is "flooded") and should be restarted on the day they are discovered. Accordingly, in all other cases, even if there is a bugged passage, there is still a guard somewhere, which means, in my opinion, you shouldn't use the bugged passage until the guard is cleared from one zone to another.

For Jebus, I would add such a rule: mandatory restart, because it seriously changes the entire landscape. Several times it happened that there is a road from the city to the desert, but it leads to a bugged passage, and the real guard is located at one of the villages, to which there is no road, but from which there is a road to the treasure with the corresponding guard of 45000. I started practicing a conditional agreement with opponents that if such serious bugs are discovered within the first week, then it is an objective reason for a restart.

Belqzaniq, you should select a town that you will use to play and tell a little bit about your experience. So, if you're a novice, I recommend you not participate in this tournament and gain more experience in the tournament for newcomers, for example

368-316-378 Rampart. This tournament is only for SOD (Stronghold of Destiny).

We have new moderators:confused:

But there will be guards, just in a different place. And the guards need to be broken through. That is, they need to be broken through from another zone, and not by entering this zone and then breaking through. In my opinion, it's all logical. What you're writing about is a violation of the rules.

It doesn't need to be broken through at all. If the zones have the same landscape, it may not be clear what it is. True, a buggy passage is usually always small... I once lost a game because of this. My opponent had a buggy passage from his home zone near the capital to a good treasure zone (2sm4d(3)).

According to the current rules, bugged passages can be used on all maps except Jebus (where they can only be used after eliminating the corresponding Guardian), and no guards need to be defeated to pass through them. Perhaps this rule should be changed. Let's think about it. Although I've played a lot of games with this balance, I haven't seen anyone use a bugged passage to reach a super-treasure.

The balance is a terrible template.

Excellent template. Only Panic can be better than Balance.

Scorpiona, I'm just helping, if you don't need it, no problem.

Great template. Only Panic can be better than Balance.

Another boring template.

Both are incredibly boring; this is Heroes, not chess. Despite the similarities, balance shouldn't be achieved by simply eliminating almost all units and using native troops. That's too boring. Instead of such templates, there's a great alternative: the arena.

Excellent template. Only Panic can be better than Balance.

I agree 100%. I suggest adding Panic and removing Balance or Mininostalgia.

In this tournament, it's always advantageous to play as Castle because you can eliminate Smite and Balance and play with any of the three remaining templates, always choosing one of the strongest castles.)

Moreover, this set is classic; personally, when I play as Dungeon, I immediately remove Balance and Smite.

Played against fockewolf. A worthy player, although his English is broken. But he has visited Russia often. I recommend him.
