and on HW, it somehow worked out well. All tournaments where both versions are played have a noticeably better composition of participants. And besides, what's wrong with the idea? Want to play SOD? Then play it. There are more SOD templates under this scheme, you just leave the choice to your opponent.

1. There are no tournaments on HW with black templates based on the SOD-VT versions.
2. There are tournaments where SOD players and VT players are divided into groups.
The first option has a negative impact on the popularity of the tournament, as proven on HP.

1. Version of the game SoD 3.2 (4.0), by agreement with WT or any other.

And what about WoG?

There are tournaments where players using the "Sod" and "WT" versions are divided into groups.

In the playoffs, they are grouped together. And they will play on both versions. So, there's no need to complain in advance. Especially when the argument against is a tournament from Portal. Instead of just complaining, come up with solid arguments. As for Heroes of Might and Magic, there isn't much activity there these days.

As an observer:
It seems that most people ignored the explanation of the main idea of the tournament:

0. In this tournament, all games are played with the Tower Castle.
The goals of the tournament:
...
2. To increase interest in the Tower Castle

That is, you need to play specifically as Tower heroes, with Tower troops, with all the features (and difficulties) of developing this race! This tournament aims to determine how well someone can play as the Tower. Your Cap.:)

In my opinion, for this purpose, it would be better to use a specially selected template or even a ready-made map where all cities will be Towers. Otherwise, there will be what has already been suggested here: switching to Necromancer / Swamp and so on. And it will be like in the recently presented report by Maretti, when he was playing as the Castle with Galthran, and the outcome of the final battle was decided by skeletons!:)

We can agree on the time.
Requests: I ask the participants to prepare for the game without using Necromancer.
Otherwise, we will come to a common, reasonable decision.

We can arrange a time, my schedule is flexible, and I'm available on weekends after 9 PM Moscow time.

I also agree that the templates where there's less chance of switching to another Castle are better. Time: 4 minutes for Medium, 6 minutes for Large, 8 minutes for Extra Large.

usually after 10 PM Moscow time, but sometimes I can play during the day as well.

Suggestions:
1. SOD (Speed of Death).
2. If reducing the turn time, it shouldn't be more than 2 minutes.
3. 112 restarts.
4. If Necropolis is banned, it will add interest to the tournament, in my opinion. Also, focusing on playing with the Tower faction would be good.
5. Random heroes.

Banning Necromancers is good, but what is the mechanism for the ban?

I'll sign up.

sometimes, in the evening Kyiv time... that would be around 16:00 Moscow time... sometimes I can play during the day too

requests:
- SOD
- M-4 min, L-6 min, HL-8 min
- rests 112
- if playing with only one castle, then introduce a simple ban on building levels 3-7 in captured secondary castles... this means you have to play with standard builds without computer opponents... and ban Necropolis...
- random hero

since it's going to be such a fun event, I'll sign up too (629347385)
suggestions:
-SOD (Sudden Death)
-add new templates to the pool
-random hero, auto-draft
-reduce all timers by 2 minutes from the standard
-if Necropolis is banned, it will be difficult to control whether skeletons were used in single-player or in a hotseat game, and there will be situations where people will simply forget to remove skeletons, for example, due to lack of time.

Well, since you've decided to introduce such a peculiar mechanic, I'll offer an idea.

One Tower can only recruit Mages as its main units. The other – only Warriors.

Banning Necros is all well and good, but what is the banning mechanism?

I'll think about it. I will write the exact wording before the start.

PS: In this tournament, only SoD will be available by default.

Added after 5 minutes

Cool idea, but the first snow fell a long time ago and has already melted :) .

Some have it melted, while others have snowdrifts as tall as a person :D Actually, the tournament was planned for December 1.... But someone ruined all the plans :D

1. The time limit should be at least as long as in the seasonal mode; the longer, the better. 2. Restarts: 112 or 111+111. 3. - Templates should be equally available, both the large ones like HL and the smaller ones... it's not worth limiting either one. A wide range of templates sounds more appealing! - Why invent new templates and remove the Dungeon? Here, the option is to demonstrate the playability of the Tower on standard templates. 4. The starting hero should be random. P.S. I'll sign up once a clear set of rules is established. I don't want to end up with a minimal time limit or tiny templates.
