Hello to all snow lovers! I've had this idea for a while, but I just didn't have the time. Luckily, we found a fan of the snow castle who volunteered to help organize the tournament. So, let's get started.

First Snow


0. In this tournament, all games will be played with the Castle faction (Tower).
Tournament goals:
1. Determine the winners.
2. Increase interest in the "Castle" faction.
3. Improve gameplay and gain experience.

I. General questions.
1. The game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0), or WT by agreement, or any other.
2. Color selection is determined by flipping a coin in the WT chat. With each SUBJECTIVE restart, the color changes.
3. Hero selection is agreed upon. If an agreement cannot be reached, it will be done as follows: The red player eliminates 0, 1, 2, or 3 heroes, and the blue player chooses a hero first. For example: Red eliminated 2 heroes: Fafnir and Daremyf. Blue chose Pyre, and Red chose Seraphina.
4. Templates. Template selection is done using a draw.
1) Jebus Cross
2) Panic
3) balance (L-U)
4) 8mm6a
5) 6lm10a
6) Spider
7) Diamond
8) True Random (XL-U)
9) Kite L-U
The blue player starts the draw.
5. To register, you must leave an application in the tournament topic.
- nickname on HW - applications are accepted only from registered forum users,
- ICQ number - required,
- Skype - desirable,
- preferred time to play.
- wishes

II. Rules.
1. The game rules coincide with the standard HeroesWorld rules.
2. Necromancy is prohibited: Skeletons can only be raised using Basic Necromancy. If Advanced or Expert Necromancy is used, the raised skeletons must be dismissed immediately after the battle.

III. Organizational issues.
1. This is a fan tournament.
2. A prize fund may be available, which will be announced additionally next week.
3. Players who have been banned cannot participate in the tournament. If any of the players receive a ban during the tournament, they will be disqualified and their results will be annulled. The issue of participation in the tournament for players listed on the Black List will be decided by the Organizers individually.
4. Hosts and judges:
Hosts: Dirty_Player (408722873) and Nestor86 (641974585)
Judge: Pit for LM (471401475)
5. Disputes between players are resolved by the judges; disputes between players and judges are resolved by the AC (Arbitration Committee).
6. For each played game, participants must submit a report and confirmation in this topic. Only then will the game be counted. It is also possible to submit a report via ICQ to the hosts.
Reports should be submitted according to the following scheme:
01.02.2013. vbn (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def invisible (blue, Inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.
7. All games in the tournament count towards the seasonal rating. The list of reports for the tournament will be at the beginning of this topic.
8. The winner of the tournament will be awarded a medal under their avatar. The prize fund for the tournament is 5000 rubles. ($166). Prizes will be distributed in the ratio 50%/30%/20%.

I love it! :)
- numOne
- 305035002
- available on weekdays from 6 PM Moscow time, weekends - by arrangement.
- suggestions:
1) allow Necromancy.
2) add a "200%" option to the list of templates, which, when selected, opens 3 more templates: 2sm2c; Balance (m); Skirmish - the players decide which one to play, one template per player. The game lasts 4 minutes.
3) 2 subjective restarts instead of 3.
4) heroes are random at the start.
5) and we can ban the Cloak and Amulet of Disjunction, since it's a Tower map anyway.

I also love snow, rain, and all sorts of slush :) Captain 310-362-915 weekends preferred. Preferences - Minimum turn time, - Templates with 200% bonus are welcome; the Tower is perfect for that. - Templates without underground structures. - 2 resource mines. - Cloak and Amulet of Rejection should not be banned.

It is better to create templates that truly force you to play as Tower and bring the gameplay as close to it as possible. Templates like Jebus Cross (where there is no real opportunity to switch to another castle) will be more relevant. Otherwise, when playing on 8mm6a and other templates with computers, the entire game as Tower will last only until the nearest Rampart, Castle, or other towns where construction is much easier.

Any template can be adjusted so that only the "desired" neutral castles appear.

Add "panic" to the standard template set. There, it won't interfere with any other templates.

Roger DAltavilla 624681987 Preferred playing time: weekdays after lunch (I live in Moscow time zone), weekends are possible by arrangement. Requests: Allow Necromancy. Rest time: 3 days in total, or 2 days in total, but add a tech support option for the Piqueadram unit (what's wrong – has this harsh alchemist never caused any trouble?). Starting hero selection: by agreement or random. Single Elimination is not ideal; we need to wait and see how many players join, then determine the rules, but losing after one defeat is not very good, although I will play. Templates: 200% unnecessary, whether they are spectacular or not. Time: 4-8 minutes. Regarding playing only with the Tower faction – this is all nonsense from those nostalgic for Titans. Skillfully switching to another faction is at least a third of the skill required for the Tower.

I suggest implementing a map selection system similar to the one on the Portal, with several SOD templates and a few VT maps. Moreover, the Tavern is often played with a mirrored setup.

Time to be arranged

Requests:
1. Maximum time limit
2. Wide range of playable maps (like in the "One for All..." tournament, for example)
3. Two rematches
4. Random starting heroes, rematch if Piguerdam is chosen.

Absolutely not! Look at how few participants the last qualifying league for Heroes of Might and Magic had, precisely because of forcing VT maps. It turns out it's neither one thing nor the other. VT maps don't work because you have to play SOD, and SOD players don't participate because it's impossible to properly customize the templates.

and on ХВ it somehow worked out well. All Tournaments where both versions are played stand out favorably in terms of the participant lineup. And besides, what's wrong with the idea? Want to play SoD? Then play it. There are more SoD templates under this scheme, only you leave the choice to your opponent.
