Too many rules and prohibitions, and tired of constantly following them, but "Anarchy" feels too cramped? Then this is the place for you! In this tournament, you can—and more importantly, must—play on any maps without any rules! Welcome to a world of lawlessness.
"Outlaw!"


I. Regulations and Deadlines.

Anyone may participate in the tournament who is registered on the HeroesWorld.ru forum for at least 3 months and has at least one game filed in accordance with the forum rules.
Tournament start – February 22, 2014.
The draw will take place on February 21, 2014.
Time limit per game – 2 weeks.

Tournament format - Double Elimination.
The final is played as a best-of-three with a 1:0 advantage for the winner's bracket finalist.

After the draw, a participant bracket is formed. After the 1st round, those who lose in this bracket form the 2nd play-off bracket. Subsequently, a loser from the 1st bracket enters the 2nd bracket; a loser from the 2nd bracket is eliminated from the tournament.

II. Rules and Maps.

1. Only the rule of fair play applies; everything else is permitted.
2. Game version SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD-mod
3. The map is chosen by a standard draw from 7 maps. Blue starts drawing the map and castles (colors will be indicated in the bracket):
1) Jebus Cross
2) 2sm4d(3)
3) 8mm6a
4) 6lm10a
5) diamond
6) mini-nostalgia
7) Spider
Opponents may mutually agree to play on any other map, as well as regarding full random games.

4. Time per turn: Chess timer 24:8:1.
Starting difficulty 160%

5. Restarts – 111 + 112.
Please note that since there are no rules, technical restarts for blocks, a single road in ГО, lack of a road to the center, etc., are naturally cancelled. So use your restarts sparingly and carefully, rather than searching for chocolates.

III. Organizational Matters.

1. The tournament is unofficial.
2. The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for organization, conduct, and participation in tournaments.
3. Tournament Director - GoD (ICQ 647139286).
Tournament Judges - Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873), Pit for LM (ICQ 471401475); Gomunguls (ICQ 499978341).
4. For every game played, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. Saves of all games must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented upon first request by the tournament directors or any member of the AC.
6. Disputed points, should any arise, are requested to be discussed off-forum. For resolution, you must contact the director or a tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
The same's decision is based primarily on the tournament rules. If the situation is not regulated by the rules, judges are guided by basic logic and gaming ethics.
7. All tournament games go into the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread and will be copied to the "Online game reports and their confirmations" thread.
8. The Director has the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament, as well as
the right to refuse participation to any player without a public explanation of reasons.

KobRa_RR, No, it's huge.
MerlinTheMagician, What's the point? It's the 9th week, what else did you want to explain?

No one joined, so I had to carry the game in the usual way, relying on Ducks, building development, and morale, with a bit of luck in the final stage. Thanks for the game!

Since you're having such a heated discussion, I'd like to add a few words to clarify the situation:

This is my Moon from the screenshot posted by zoog, from our game. Diplomacy came to her quite late, but immediately after taking the Mermaids, because there was a lot of money for recruitment. Moreover, the recruitment was quite expensive financially, and if it weren't for the million Mermaids further on, the army would have been much smaller than what's there (some minor units were given to the Loshaks, but that's not the point), because there weren't many willing to fight for free. + Gradually, the Underground Cartographer, Control, and Visions skills were acquired. Dragon Descent came very late, and with it, you could already recruit hardcore units, but the opponent made a good mistake, which I took advantage of.

But, if you pay attention to the Spell Power, the Book of Fire + the Amplifier, and the Titan Armor lying in the backpack, you can see that there is an Armageddon spell with 3255 damage. A couple of hit-and-run attacks with this Moon on a Phoenix against this army, and only the birds and the elemental mage will survive. This is regarding the argument that it's "overpowered and can't be countered."

At the same time, if I didn't have Diplomacy, zoog probably wouldn't have let me near the treasure where I got the Amplifier and the Book, because I had to put pressure on him at that time using meat and stats.

Regarding morale, there was an amulet +3 to morale and luck in the backpack.

That's the story.

In theory, you can come up with many ideas, but in practice, after the introduction of "meat" (referring to units), money and control (and, consequently, handcuffs, cloaks/protective gear) appear in a fairly predictable manner.

Nothing. It's all obvious. Playing until the 9th week in a tournament with no rules is just absurd (and even with rules, it's absurd...).

It's nothing. Everything is obvious. Playing until the ninth week in a tournament with no rules is just absurd (and even with rules, it's absurd...).

where is it?

It's in the first post, you can see it very clearly, or rather, not in the first one... but anyway, it's at the very top.

And now I see that Defiant didn't have any opponents and went straight to the 3rd round, while others started competing from the 1st round. Why did that happen?

The bracket is in the first post, it's very easy to see, or rather, even higher up. And now I see that Defiant didn't have any opponents and went straight to the 3rd round, while others started competing from the 1st round. Why did that happen?

Captured 3 AI opponents, 2 of which were Dungeon. Found a dragon lair, captured it, and teleported away. On day 131, a miner is mining and is attacked by a blue hero with an army, who drives him away. Then, the same hero kills my hero, who has been around for two weeks. On day 132, I replenish my forces in the nearest town, gather troops from three Dungeon lairs, and defeat the blue army. GG. Thanks for the game.

Respawned on 111, didn't risk further, even though the start was a 3 out of 10. Small respawn, 4 heroes, but gathered some gold in the metro and birds in Citadel.

Sent one bird sailing with Intenius toward the Conflux computer player, who was taken by the end of week two + diplomacy. Grindan leveled up oil, gave him 60 mana, and went to the treasure zone, where he lost flyers to air elementals guarding it. That's normal. But before the treasure zone, Cuthbert with 4 birds took the red barbarian computer player. Near him, a scout hero picked up a scroll — Chain Lightning.

By the end of week two, red recaptured the barbarian computer player and rushed toward my capital through the swamp town.

Took a long time to figure out what trump card Rion was carrying — only 24 Grand Elves, about 6 Unicorns, and a horde of Centaur Captains. Stats were nothing special, same as Grindan's. Anyway, Grindan took 4 Wyverns from the Dragon Fly Hive, retreated to the tavern, the army arrived via chain, and he attacked with two Chain Lightnings + oil against Rion's 40 mana.

In the first battle, the first chain didn't go through — there was a clone of 23 Grand Elves and a Unicorn retaliation — minus one bird. The second chain took out the Grand Elves, minus 2 War Dancers — Unicorns fall, leaving 20 Dwarves and 60 Centaur Captains against 12 Fire Elementals, the same number of Water Elementals, 4 Wyverns, and 3 birds. Surrender follows.

Conclusion — on Anarchy, you need to pick up scrolls.

Thanks for the game!

And now I see that Defiant got into the 3rd round without any opponents, while others started competing right from the 1st round. Why did that happen?
With a good reward for the organizer, you can go even further. :D
