Happy New Year!

We are starting to test a new system for creating tournaments and automatically submitting match reports.

WiccComments and suggestions:

1) The game outcome (Defeat, Loss, Draw) should be written with a lowercase letter.
2) There is no 8xm8a template, only 8xm8.
3) Digital templates like 8XM8 should be written as they are usually written - in lowercase (8xm8)...
6) The date should preferably be set to the current date by default...
8) In the list of versions, in addition to SoD and WT, add Hota as well.

Yes.
The changes have already been made to the system.

Basic support for older browsers has also been added, meaning that reports can be sent from them, but the functionality on the user side will be limited (tested on a fairly old version of the Opera 9.20 browser from 04.11.2007).

Took a green dwelling, and on the next turn, took a dwelling of the Roar.
The opponent died in the dwelling of the Angels due to morale loss.

I used a level 1 hero, and the Angel lost morale in the 1st or 2nd round. By the 3rd round, it was gone – that’s good!

There is no quick answer in the topic – is this a bug on my side? If it's not too much trouble, please add a difficulty list (or a checkbox for 200%) – in my opinion, it would be clearer.

Yeah, because different players use different balance settings, which leads to some confusion.

It would be nice if, when possible, there was also a link to the report next to the report on the first page, like /topic/at/712029/, or it could directly display it somewhere on the page.

The latest reports should be sorted so that the most recent ones are at the top.

Again, this is just my opinion and not critical; only if it's not too much trouble.

Not available yet. Naturally, I'll share my impressions later. All of this should be automated for any registered user. Each new registration creates additional confusion and increases the load on the site. I would strongly suggest paying attention to the report system on WCL; it contains many useful and valuable ideas. Implementing something similar shouldn't be seen as a bad thing.

3) Digital templates like 8XM8 should be written as they usually are - in lowercase (8xm8).

Templates like these are usually written in that style: 2SM4d(3), 6LM10, or Monk's Retreat - and that's how they are in the original. In Heroes, all words in titles (the first and subsequent ones) are capitalized: Battle Scholar Academy, First Aid Tent, Helm of the Alabaster Unicorn.

9) What is the Random template?

Sometimes, a random template is chosen as the starting point (for example, from the original 3DO set), and this reflects that fact.
An interesting idea (from another resource) is that the opponent immediately confirms the report (after 115 turns or after restarts), and a line appears indicating that a particular game has started. Then, the winner (or any player) finally completes the report with the game's result. There are many interesting things there; everything needs to be reviewed.
The site http://forum.heroesworld.ru runs on the vBulletin v3.5.0 platform, and some of its scripts (like the button-based drop-down menus in the quick navigation) are not processed in some browsers (on WebKit and Gecko engines - Mozilla, Chrome...), but some have the option to use Trident mode (which is in Explorer, IE). Perhaps the new buttons from the same series will work that way too (I haven't tested the report interface yet).

An especially interesting idea (from an external source) is that the opponent immediately confirms the report (after 115 turns or after restarts), and a line appears stating that a certain game has started. Then, the winner (or any player) finally submits the report with the game result. There are many interesting things there; you need to review everything.

Expanding on the topic, you can also track online games in this way, instead of bothering players with the question, "How is it going?". They saved at turn 125, and both confirmed the save. The organizer sees that there is a save at turn 125 from a specific date. That is, simply add a save option between the report and confirmation buttons.
Ideally, the entire process would look like this:
1. They started, chatted, and made some adjustments. It seems that nothing prevents them from continuing.
2. At turn 115-117 (depending on the type of roads, to avoid head-on collisions), someone writes a preliminary report, saying that they started, there are no problems, and sends a link to the opponent, who confirms it.
3. If they saved, the person who saved marks "save at x.x.x" in the report, and the opponent confirms it.
4. Final report.

That is, 2 buttons: report (with an extended menu with checkboxes for final, save, or preliminary), and confirm.

To avoid situations like:
"saved, confirm"
"loser, confirmed the loss"

there should be some kind of message like "Attention, you are confirming the start/save/end of the game."

On the first map, I had levels 1, 2, and 3, with eagles in the Castle. On the second map, Gurney came, and I took a Consul next to the only road. Then I went through the sand... I reached the enemy's spawn point, and I was going to chase him into the Dungeon, but after leveling up Earth magic, I quickly turned back. The bonus from the two Castles is better than any Consul, which, as it turned out, didn't even exist. The opponent surrenders.
