Regarding the Spider faction:
If you manage to avoid a direct confrontation in the second week, the game usually progresses to a phase where both players focus on collecting treasure until they have depleted all available resources, followed by a classic endgame showdown where they build walls and engage in direct combat, typically around the beginning of the second month. Battles involving the "Loshka" strategy do occur, but they have less impact compared to other factions.

I would also suggest using the template from Pit for LM Deux Pairs. In my opinion, it's a fairly balanced template. We've tested it with Ayauhteotl several times. If playing L-U, encounters are possible as early as weeks 2-3.

So, here are the latest additions to the rules. We're playing a Single Elimination tournament. The final will be a Best-of-3. There are 2 weeks for the tournament. Today at 6 PM Moscow time, there will be an online draw.

Regarding Necromancy, the rule is as follows:
Skeletons can only be raised using Basic Necromancy. If the Necromancer has Advanced or Expert Necromancy, the raised skeletons must be dismissed immediately after the battle.

Necromancy rules:
Skeletons can only be raised using Basic Necromancy. If the Necromancer has Advanced or Expert Necromancy, the raised skeletons must be dismissed after the battle.

Regarding the map templates, template number 8 will be True Random (XL-U).

Settings: 2 players, 0 AI opponents, No Water, Strong Monsters. The rules for this map are standard, with no differences.

Suggestion for the organizers: since there is a good prize pool here, wouldn't it be better to do a double elimination? It won't increase the time significantly, and the player will have a second chance, because even a top player can lose to a beginner + a random player.

Suggestion regarding the tournament format: since the prize pool is quite good, wouldn't it be better to implement a double-elimination format? It wouldn't significantly increase the time, and it would give players a second chance, as even top players can lose to newcomers or be affected by the random map generator.

We did consider a double-elimination format. Ultimately, an Olympic-style tournament will be more engaging.

Also, a request to all participants: please check the list in the first post to ensure you are included. It will be difficult to add someone after the draw.

If that's how it's done, then I think it would be best to prohibit promoting Necromancy, as was the case with Isra and Vidomina. There won't be any problems with checking whether skeletons were summoned or not.

There's a rule regarding necromancy:
Skeletons can only be raised using Basic Necromancy. If the Necromancy skill is Advanced or Expert, the raised skeletons must be dismissed immediately after the battle.

But we were offered different options for necromancy. Why did we have to choose such an uninspired one? Dismissing skeletons takes time, and you also have to keep track of the necromancer's skill level. And if the necromancer levels up twice, how many skeletons were raised at the basic level so that you can dismiss the excess? And if you leave one extra, will you be penalized? It would be much simpler to, for example, limit the necromancer to level 5, and then they wouldn't be able to fight. And what about a set of necromantic artifacts as a substitute for expert necromancy?

rebellious, don't overcomplicate things. If a Necromancer with basic Necromancy goes into battle, it means you leave the skeletons. If they have advanced or expert Necromancy, then after the battle, you dismiss all the creatures they raised. What's so complicated about that?

Hi, I can still join? If so here's my info:

Thanks

Registration is closed; the draw will be held soon.

I had a streak on SoD where I exited the center four times in a row on map 121, and once even for Cielke.

I don't have time to present the bracket in a nice format, so it will be like this for now. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I forgot to record player KostyaN, so he replaces player Dirty_Player in the match against LSM. Since there are more than 64 participants, there will be qualifying matches. The one who is higher (to the left for qualifying matches) is in red. Good luck to everyone.
