Happy Spring and welcome to the "Spring 2013" Season!


We will be playing according to the Rules for online games in Heroes III and the seasonal Ranked Tournament, with one difference.
Restarts.
For the seasonal tournament, there is a system of subjective restarts totaling "2 days":
4.3. Subjective Restarts:
Each player has the right to take a restart or restarts no later than the end of their turn on the corresponding day, i.e., start a new game with map regeneration. It is possible to take either 2 restarts on the first day of the game (111+111), or one restart on the second day (112).
Of course, by mutual agreement, you can play according to the standard tournament rules totaling "3 days":

Daily saves.
Also, please note that
Players must make daily saves, keep them until the end of the tournament (i.e., until the results are summarized and the winner is awarded) and provide them upon request from the tournament leader/judge/member of the AC (Administration Committee).
If the saves are missing for any reason, the leader/judge/AC will rely on the saves provided by the opponent. Claims against the opponent and judges in such cases will not be accepted.
That is, you need to save the seasonal games until the awards ceremony at the end of the season in the Hall of Fame. You can see how to do this here. The best option is to attach the saves to the report so that any of our players or judges can easily view it and learn...

We write reports according to the following scheme:
Date of game.* Player 1 Nickname** (color, castle, starting hero, main hero) [game result - def, lose, draw]*** Player 2 Nickname** (color, castle, starting hero, main hero), template (if fixes are used, then the map name), game time.
For example:
06/01/2010 Scorpiona (red, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Pit for LM (blue, inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.

If a player chooses a random starting castle, the report header should look like this:
06/01/2010 Scorpiona (red, random, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Pit for LM (blue, random, inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.

In case of choosing a random hero, the report should have the following form:
06/01/2010 Scorpiona (red, dungeon, random, Shakti, Shakti) def Pit for LM (blue, inferno, random, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.

If the starting and main heroes coincide, it is enough to write once:
06/01/2010 Scorpiona (red, dungeon, Shakti) def Pit for LM (blue, inferno, Pyrrhus, Marius) 2SM4d(3) 136.

*The date of the game is displayed in the format: DD.MM.YYYY.

**Player nicknames must be written exactly as the player is registered on the forum.

*** Game result - Win/def, Loss/lose, Draw/draw.

In case of problems and disputes during the game, immediately contact the leaders and judges, because there are many of them, so with a high probability someone will be online:
Pit for LM - icq 471401475;
Dubrovin Pavel - icq 482071082;
Javdet - icq 432146477;
Gomunguls - icq 499978341;
numOne - icq 305035002;
Mizrael - icq 27384379.

If no one is available, calmly save the game and postpone it. After that, write a private message to the judges - in the upper right corner of any page of the forum there are words Private Messages, click on them, select the menu on the left - New Message, enter the names of the recipients:
Dubrovin Pavel ; Javdet ; Gomunguls ; numOne ; Mizrael ; Pit for LM
and state your problem.
Please resolve all disputes in this civilized way, and not by arguing on the forum.

Information from the AC.
Since the winter season of 2012-13, according to the decision of the AC, reports on games of all players listed in the Black List will not be taken into account in the ranking.
If a player on the Black List wants to rehabilitate himself, he can continue to play in the Season without a rating (this condition must be agreed with the opponent in advance) and write reports after the end of the games, with daily saves attached. These reports will help the AC make a decision if the issue of rehabilitation arises in the future.

Offtopic.
Here - only seasonal games - reports and discussion of those game situations that occurred in them. Please refrain from philosophical reflections about the game and from discussing and condemning players regarding:
- writing reports within the first week's deadlines (111, 112, 113...),
- not giving auto and gum rests,
- playing with weaker opponents, etc.
All this is eternal and endless, but in this topic it will be off-topic and trolling and will be deleted without explanation.

Good luck to everyone!

01.03.2013 Player_ (red, Tower, Torosar, Ciele) def RedSnow (blue, Necropolis, Clavius, Galthran) 2SM4d(3) 124.
On 111 I buy Ciele at the tavern, Crag comes.
112 I get the gloves of speed.
On 113 I clear the adjacent zone - a dungeon, having lost my army to thieves and dwarves along the way, only 47 gremlins remain.
114 I scout the opponent's respawn from the overview, see where he is breaking through, and a plan for a rush with Ciele emerges.
On 117 I barely manage to build 123 in the Citadel, and 123 in the dungeon. Pretty shabby.
On 121 Nila arrives, giving hope that if the rush fails, I'll at least have all heroes with magic and everything will be fine.
On 122, before breaking through to the opponent's secondary town, I replenish Ciele's mana at the Strategic Well.
124 I visit the stables, run forward, and run into Galthran with 100-249 skeletons and singleton skeletons and wolves. He just cleared a behemoth external dwelling and is about to take it. I can't get past him, no choice. I attack.
I have 96 gremlins, 5 golems, 5 golems, gargoyle, gargoyle, golem, 7 observers.
Opponent has wolf, wolf, skeleton, skeleton, skeleton, skeleton, 220 skeletons (roughly).
Stats 1 0 7 4 for me vs 1 5 3 4 for Galthran.
He casts Perdition on my gremlins, so I slow the skeletons and shoot. The archery skill is at 135. That's strong, and when the opponent reaches me with only 20 skeletons, he surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

114 I scout the opponent's respawn from the lookout post, see where he is trying to break through, a plan for a Ciele rush forms.
On 117 at home I barely manage to build 123 in the Citadel, and 123 in the dungeon. Pretty shabby.
On 121 Nila arrives, which gives hope that if the rush fails, all heroes with magic will still be available and everything will be fine.
On 122, before breaking through to the opponent's secondary, I replenish Ciele's mana at the strategic well.
124 I visit the stables, run forward and encounter Galthran with 100-249 Skeletons and a few single Skeletons and Wolves. He just broke into an external dwelling of Behemoths and is about to take it. There's no way past him, no choice. I attack.

He fries my Gremlins with Fireball, so I slow the Skeletons and shoot. Arrow count at 135. That's a lot, and the opponent, reaching me with just 20 Skeletons, surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

Confirmed.
For once I was allowed to play with the Skeletons, and then GG on 124... sad :(
As it turned out, I shouldn't have broken through the guard of 19 Scorpicores for the external dwelling of Beholders, and they were just completely blocking the passage.
I left 10 Vampires and about 30 Skeletons on them, and all for nothing :D

Roads are slow. Not much gold. 2 external dwellings of monks, 2 external dwellings of spearmen. 1,2,4,5 are in the fort on the first week, there is Ciele and Klavius. Passages to secondary heroes are all shooters. On day 121 with a trade to 0 I buy everything, including from the external dwellings except knights and spears, and Arcade-dive into Griffin Conservatory 2 (had no magic or stats). 9 griffins remain, I buy knights the next turn, finish off the griffins. Then gradually 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 12 wyverns, I finally take the necro secondary hero. On the third week another Griffin Conservatory 2, raised 300 skeletons, another Dragon Fly Hive for 6 wyverns and I break into Dragon Utopia 2. I emerge with 3 angels, 2 wyverns and 70 skeletons. I get КЗ and a necklace +3 to all stats. On days 136-137 I bring up shooters and monks, break through 40 hydras, 40 bone dragons, take the opponent's secondary hero. At home, angels in the castle.
Then a small war of chump heroes, capturing castles. The opponent ran into the treasure zone and there was no chain home. On day 142 news of surrender comes.

Thanks for the game!

Possibly due to my recent presence on this forum, I may be posting in the wrong place, but I ask to review a problem that arose during one of the reporting games.
Game: Uvad vs angry russian man
In the first week, the opponent came to his Dwarf Cottage bypassing the ГО from his point of view, and from mine — from my point of view. Since there was no discussion about the ownership of the Dwarf Cottage, on the second week I went to his respawn (also bypassing the ГО, accordingly). The FB ended in my favor, but the question arises — was my action justified?

03/01/2013 Uvad (red, rampart, Ivor, Ivor) defeated angry russian man (blue, castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4d (3)
The game started quickly, with no restarts on either side.
The roads were good, and there were crypts nearby, so I immediately hired 4 heroes. However, I didn't account for the fact that the crypts would suddenly run out, as would the gold around.
I gave Ivor earth magic. I even found Slow. It's a pity, though, that I never cast it.
On day 121, I attacked the opponent's base with an army of 27 grand elves, 57 centaurs, 12 pegasuses, and 5 treants. The opponent attacked unexpectedly from the castle. Considering the presence of tactics, 45 archers, and 4 champions, everything could have been decided very quickly. But the champions, fortunately (for me), were one square away from the elves, the opponent didn't have haste, again fortunately for me, and they went into wait mode. The elves closed ranks with the centaurs and, with one volley under Blessing, wiped out half of the archers. After that, it was just a defense of the elves, although at the very end, the champions still managed to hit them. On the other hand, this hit prevented the opponent from escaping, after which the game ended.
Many thanks to angry russian man for the game!

1.03.2013 Pupa (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def ariputra (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Sandro) 142 Panic

Near the Castle there was a stable, an external market, and a couple of Griffin Conservatories, not a single external dwelling; the first week I hung around the respawn, placing knights at the Citadel.
At the start of the second week, I took the Griffin Conservatory and rode to the secondary.
For the second week and half of the third, I roamed the secondary zones, nothing good there...
At the end of the third week, I entered the second treasure zone, took 3 Dragon Fly Hives and 2 dragon external dwellings.
On day 141, I bought two more dragons and on day 142 the finale: in terms of battle stats, I was better + I had expert arms, but he had 120 mana and Lightning Bolt for 265,
4 crystal dragons, 4 angels, 6 knights, 38 marksmen, 9 fanatics, and 18 griffins against
2 angels, 7 knights, 12 pegasus, a handful of dendroids, and ~450 skeletons
thanks for the game!

Near the castle there is a stable, an external market, and a Griffin Conservatory duo, not a single external dwelling, I hang around at the respawn for the first week, placing horses in the citadel.
At the start of the second week, I take the Griffin Conservatory and head to the secondary zone.
During the second week and half of the third, I ride around the secondary zones, nothing good there...
At the end of the third week, I enter the second treasure zone, take 3 Dragon Fly Hives and 2 external dragon dwellings.
On day 141, I buy two more dragons and on day 142 the final battle: in terms of combat stats, I have the advantage + I have Expert Offense, but he has 120 mana and Lightning Bolt for 265 damage,
4 Black Dragons, 4 Angels, 6 Horses, 38 Archers, 9 Fanatics, and 18 Dwarves vs
2 Angels, 7 Horses, 12 Pegasi, a handful of Dendroid Soldiers, and ~450 Skeletons
thanks for the game!

confirmed

some crazy morale swings lol), it triggered 6 or maybe 5 times, first twice on the archers, then on the dragons and horses,

you should have come to me instead of going to the treasure zone for dwarves and dragons, then it would have been much more interesting :) Thunder and Lightning would have helped me, but as it is :smile53:

Game Uvad vs angry russian man
On the first week, the opponent came to his Dwarf Cottage bypassing ГО from his point of view, and from mine - from my point of view. Since there was no discussion regarding ownership of the Dwarf Cottage, on the second week I went to his resp (likewise, bypassing ГО). The FB ended in my favor, but the question arises - was my action justified?
The save pack is attached.

I've looked at the saves. Obviously, you violated the rules by passing through a shifted ГО (gold). That Dwarf Cottage is in disputed territory; it's essentially neither yours nor his, so whoever takes it first owns it, but passing, quite knowingly, through a shifted ГО to attack the opponent at his resp is a violation of the rules.
The opponent may not confirm the defeat.

2.03.2013 Juristis (red, Dungeon, Shakti) def theShevanesian (blue, Fortress, Tazar) 135 8mm6a
Medium roads, small respawn underground, 1 rest remained, didn't want to risk spending it. The first week was very tough, no money, no external dwellings, constant neutral creature morale. And to top it off, the town in the corner treasure zone, which I had hoped Shakti would reach on day 116, was blocked. In the corner I managed to scout a Griffin Conservatory 3-4 on rocks, a Dragon Utopia, a Mace +4, and free Ignatius level 5 from a prison. On day 117, with the remnants of my army (70 Troglodytes, 15 Imps, and 3 Evil Eyes), Brissa ran to my opponent's town-tower. First good news - an external market. At home I built 1-3 in the Citadel with mushroom rings and +1000 gold. Shakti has expert Logistics.
Day 121 - I take the enemy town, build a lookout tower, 2 Mage external dwellings spawn, some gold, a Conservatory, Boots of Speed, a Hive + Sword 2-2 for 5-9 Giants. Things are looking up) Over the next few days I clear his respawn, send Shakti there, buy a spell book (Bless, Slow, Stone Skin), it's going somewhat slowly since neither of us has Pathfinding. I take the Mage external dwellings, a Town Portal spell, build Mages in the tower, on day 125 I pick up the Boots and attack the Conservatory. The Conservatory has 150 with a Ghost Dragon - we lost 50 Troglodytes, 5 Mages, and meat. 3200 movement points on Shakti - that's serious business. The next turn I pick up an Elixir of Life +2 HP at home and run to the Conservatory on the rocks. There was a skirmish with the opponent; his Gundula ran in from the center, attacked Brissa and was killed by archery.
Day 131 - I made a mistake, threw the fight, the opponent offered a concede, thanks. After the concede I still messed up but not as badly. I took a Speed +3 ring and with the Oil already applied, a triple-layered Conservatory with a Ghost Dragon.
Day 132 - I take the corner dungeon with Shakti, mana runs out. Roland takes a nearby Hive with 6 Wyverns.
Day 133 - Warrior's Tomb, in it a Chain Mail +4 again. Shakti breaks into the Tower town to replenish mana.
Day 134 - I take the Hive and the little sword guarded by Giants with a Ghost Dragon. Brissa runs into the center, sees Tazar there boosted in a swamp village. Tazar on his turn runs into my adjacent zone, kills Brissa, and stops in front of 2 Hives in my inner treasure zone.
Day 135 - On my turn I upgrade the Mages and attack; the advantage in meat decided the battle, despite Tazar's powerful archery on day 135. Thanks for the game!

03/02/2013 goodwin (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) lose to Uvad (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2sm4d
There weren’t any special events, no artifacts, and no memorable battles with neutrals. A standard secondary town against a late-game secondary town. Early game decided the outcome.
03/02/2013 Uvad (red, Rampart, Ivor, Mephala) lose to goodwin (blue, Castle, Valeska, Crag Hack) 2sm4d
It was more interesting here. On day 123, I dealt 16 damage to champions, lost half of my unicorns, pegasuses, and all my centaurs. I gained 10k experience. Later, I defeated 35 diamond golems, lost 1 pegasus, and gained 20 pegasuses ( :). On day 131, I saw my opponent. I attacked with an army of 50 centaurs, 32 grand elves, 32 silver pegasuses, and 6 unicorns. My opponent had 85 marksmen, 55 spearmen, 6 champions, and 4 knights. It seemed like everything was going well... but then a mass slow spell hit, followed by a mass shield spell, after which I simply ran away. Out of desperation.
Thanks, goodwin, for the game!
