Posts from The Crusade (autumn, winter 2013-14)

One question: a player participated in the first tournament, took a certain place in a certain group, and then skipped the next two-stage tournament. How will this affect his "seeding" in the third tournament?

Group 1 02.09.2013 The_ (red, random, Citadel, Shiva, Nella) def Lem (blue, random Castle, Edric, Monere) anarchy 200% 134.

Good start, a lot of money, a spread of four heroes, two native secondary skills quickly picked up, external dwelling of birds, built another set of birds in the secondary town, bears in the fort. On the second day I took two home Dragon Fly Hives for 20 Wyverns, Nella got diplomacy, then I ran to the treasure zone, there another +34 ducks, a Dragon Utopia, +60 ogres joined, on day 131 I take the stables and go to the opponent through the central treasure zone, with an army of 60 ogres, 53 Wyverns, 22 Thunderbirds, a couple of bears, and a meat shield, stats 20-20, attack defense expert. The opponent attacks himself, having snatched a pandora's box from under my nose, there are 4 Archangels, about 20 Wyverns, 12 of them upgraded, horses, and some small stuff, but there is Mass Berserk there, I decide not to risk it and buy back in the first round, Monere stays in the same place. I buy back in the secondary town, next to the central treasure zone, join 90 Efreets (ГО), attack Monere, he has no mana left, so after a couple of rounds a surrender follows.

Thanks for the game!

Group 1 1.09.13 Juristis (red, Tower, Aine, Yog) def JustObserver (blue, Stronghold, Gunnison) 2sm4d(3) 134
Opponent picked all rests + there was a re on the meeting and my 111. Then we started, fast roads, 2 native heroes, immediately spotted a couple of external dwellings, decided to play. Put them on Yog because I got a ballista, and it plays better on a barbarian.
On the first week I ate the respawn, because both roads to the adjacent zones were blocked by a horde of gr lizards. On 115 I took a mini Griffin Conservatory with Kalthom, the next turn I broke through the lizards with the loss of 1 genie from an external dwelling. On 117 I took the necro in the underground, at home nagas in the Citadel, 2 external dwellings of gremlins, 1 of gargoyles and 1 of genies.
On the second week I broke through the second lizards onto the lava, there I took a level 4 naga bank and found the Golden Bow for Yog's expert archery. Before that I accidentally discovered that tactics can be turned on and off, I'll keep that in mind. On 124 I went into the underground treasure zone, took there 3 beehives for 20 Wyverns, Shield +6, Gloves, the green tent and more artifacts for morale and luck. Meanwhile, on 1 genie I took Inferno, bought Luna there, took a mini Griffin Conservatory with her on a genie. There on the lava I discovered a green guard, and behind him a quest shield and a Dragon Utopia. I gave the shield for 20k experience with Kalthom, expert attack and logistics, basic earth, defense and tactics, then went with him for the home Dragon Utopia and a second Griffin Conservatory. With Yog, at the start of the third week, I broke through and entered the second underground treasure zone, there was a Crown 4-4, Pandora's Box for 5k experience (I leveled up scholar, also had logistics, defense and finally got tactics). And so on 134 I was in front of the beehive, on my turn the blues surrendered, they refused auto. Thanks for the game!

Group 6 ---1.09.13 Captain (red, Barbarian, Gurnison) def Sevan_80 (blue, Swamp, Alkin) Panic 134

Nankril summoned 300 skeletons and, with the Logistics Expert skill, ran around the map.
Thanks for the game!

CRUSADE

Version for the SoD 3.2 (4.0) +HD-mod game.
The Tournament will be held in a round-robin system. Each participant chooses their favorite template (or map) and time limit. In those rounds where you play as red, the match is played on your template, and your opponent marks the Castles first. In blue rounds, it's reversed.
For example: 7 participants, there will be 6 matches, 3 matches you play as red and on your template, and your opponent selects the Castle first; 3 matches as blue on opponents' templates.

To participate in the tournament, you must have already participated in some Competitive event or have 3 confirmed reports in the season.

Criteria for choosing a template (map): any template that has already been used in a tournament is suitable. If you choose something original, indicate in which tournament this template was already used.
For example: skirmish according to M-200 rules No. 7 or Anarchy according to Bespredel rules on heroesportal.

Time limit criteria: no less than 4 minutes and no more than 10 minutes. If you really want a chess timer, it should be adequate within the 4-10 minute range without extra time during combat. Adequacy is agreed upon with the organizer :)
Organizer - Roger DAltavilla icq 624681987

Registration for the Tournament until 12:00 Moscow time on August 31, 2013. The draw will be held on the same day.
Attention, the time for 1 round is 2 weeks!

If there are too many participants, they will be divided into groups based on the principle of strong playing against strong, and I will also try to ensure that the templates in one group are as diverse as possible (but this depends on the participants).

Example application for the Tournament

Good luck and have fun!
