The time has come and so... drumroll... the qualifying tournament for FB-8 is declared open :smile44:

I. Regulations and Deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using the "Swiss" system

Start of the tournament: April 1, 2014; registration until March 29, 2014 inclusive

Time limit per round: 2 weeks - technical losses will be assigned without regard to opinions or authority (the sole exception is CIS-14 in Minsk)
Players have the right to arrange a convenient time among themselves, but if an agreement cannot be reached, the critical time for playing is the night from Saturday to Sunday of the first week. (if the game was not completed in one session, then during the second week). In case one player fails to show up at the set time, the other must write to the organizer or one of the judges, and when the tech result is assigned, this will be the main argument.
This clause is not subject to discussion.

7 players advance to the final stage.

II. Rules and Templates.

1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0); by mutual agreement, WT or any other version of HOMM3.

3.The template for each round will be determined as follows - during registration, each participant must indicate 5 favorite templates; from all these templates, 9 will be selected (depending on the number of participants and the number of rounds, respectively). Then the selected templates are randomly "shuffled" and a list is compiled (e.g., 1-2sm4d3, 2-mininoszta, 3-Jebus Cross, 4-skirmish, etc.). In the 1st round, players ban templates that "came up" under numbers 1, 2, 3 (i.e., banning occurs from 2sm4d3, mininoszta, and Jebus Cross). In the next round, banning occurs from templates 2, 3, 4 (mininoszta, Jebus Cross, skirmish), etc. In the last 7th (9th) round, banning will occur from templates 7 (9), 1, 2. Red starts the ban

4. Town selection: standard ban. Blue starts the ban. Colors are determined during the draw and do not change with restarts.

A win awards 1 point, a draw 0.5, a loss 0.
The winners, and accordingly those who qualify for FB, will be 7 people.
The winner is determined by the total number of points scored. In case of a tie in points, additional tiebreakers apply.
1) Buchholz Coefficient
2) Head-to-head result

III. Organizational Matters
1. The tournament is official and regular.
2. The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for Organizing, Conducting, and Participating in Tournaments.
3. Tournament Host: zloi_romantic (296524052)
Tournament Judges: Pit for LM (471401475), Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873).
4. For each 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 at the first request of the tournament hosts or any AC member.
6. Regarding controversial issues, if any arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve them, contact the host or a tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
The judges' decision is made primarily based on the tournament rules. If the situation that arises is not regulated by the rules, then the judges will be guided by basic logic and gaming ethics.
7. All tournament games count towards the season rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread and will be copied to the "Game Reports and Confirmations Online" thread. I.e., there is NO need to duplicate reports in the seasonal thread.
8. The final part of the tournament will be held using a round-robin system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other gaming resources are invited to the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are allowed (applications will be considered on an individual basis).
3. Newly registered players are not allowed to participate in the tournament (exception: active players from other gaming resources; applications will be considered on an individual basis).
4. Players who have a BWP are not eligible to participate in the tournament. If any player is awarded a BWP during the tournament, they will be disqualified and their results annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who have repeatedly "ditched" tournaments may be rejected.
6. The organizers reserve the right to refuse a user participation in the tournament without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. The Winner and 2nd-3rd place finishers of the FB-7 tournament are NOT allowed to participate in the qualifiers.
8. The tournament application must include:
- 5 most favorite templates
- convenient time for playing

9. Players Gomunguls, Aya, Maretti advance to FB-8 without a qualifier, while players Piterius and LeBron have a bonus of a byeslot for 1 round (if, of course, they wish to participate)

The randomizer arranged the templates as follows
1-2sm4d3
2-Spider
3-skirmish (played according to OFB rules, i.e., with a town ban and no color change, but by mutual agreement you can play according to seasonal rules, i.e., allrandom)
4-6lm10a
5-JC
6-8mm6a
7-anarchy
8-diamond
9-Mini nostalgia

Thus, in the 1st round Red starts the ban from templates - 2sm4d3, Spider, skirmish
In the 2nd round, the ban proceeds from templates Spider, skirmish, 6lm10a
In all rounds, Red starts the template ban

I repeat for everyone - if you have a problem with your opponent (cannot find a common time, being ignored, etc.), write to me on ICQ - we will sort it out
Draw
In reply to Akella
Got nice area with roc, wolf and goblin dwells. Took rampart town wk1 and found one cons near it, throng griffins. Hack for air and armor. Flagged all dwells by the end of week and build behemots with citadel.

Wk2 i enter in another area to take 3rd town and get some gold to buy army and take cons. While i was doing that scout found another cons in my area. I got 5 angels from those conses and decided to go in treasury. I saw Tyraxor went into same treasury 1 turn before me, but i managed to buy all my army and was ready for battle. I entered on 127 in treasury and near entrance i found hive with 8 wyverns and tope. 3 blacks, so i stay on it and wait for next week army.

Week 3 start opponent did not come so i got time to bring army and take tope. Got gladius, air tome, polarity boots and shackles. Immediately checked with view air and opponent was still in treasury. I go after him and on 132 i managed to block his exit with Hack's last step. He had 4 angels and attacked me in order to surrender but shackles gave me victory. Thx for game.

I confirm. Got good start too, 113 took 2nd tower. 121 made fatal mistake: went to cons 2-4 with army from 2 towers. Needed to wait 122 and bring magi from other hero... Cons came maxi and plenty of morales to griffins ordered me to retreat. 37 griffins left, next day i killed them by 16 magi. 131 went with 4 angels to treasure, where was met with shackles. Thx for game!

Thank you for the game!
laughing, and that's all. I understand that in offline battles, I have -3 morale, but that doesn't mean that every unit should fail at least 3 times out of 4.
It's just... pffffffff.

I remember a battle with Seva, he had -3 morale, and only 1 out of 5 rounds went well for him on one creature, while I had a billion successful rounds.

Thank you for the game.

Here is something for Darkello to chew on: D

/topic/at/732056/

Could the Lawyer manage to negotiate even with enemy morale?

For Darkell: just for fun :D

/topic/at/732056/

COME ON, this is not serious. Vivam loses -3 morale in 4 rounds, and gets frozen by Vasas. Demons have 2 out of 2 anti-morale or 3 out of 3; harpies have 3 out of 5; efreets have 1-2 out of 4-5; Goghs have 2 or 3 anti-morale out of 4 rounds... Just pfffffff

COME ON, this isn't serious. Vivam reduces morale by -3 over 4 rounds, and Vashek freezes them. Demons have 2 out of 2 anti-morale or 3 out of 3, harpies have 3 out of 5, efreets have 1-2 out of 4-5, and goghs have 2 or 3 anti-morale out of 4 rounds... just pffff.
But after that, you'll definitely have an answer to the question: "What's more important, morale or luck?" :D

Due to lack of time, we played as a combined match for two tournaments.

I confirm. I started making small mistakes from turn 111, and Artem punished me for it.
Thanks for the game.

We did everything we could to clear and then went for it. There was a block in front of the Castle with 26 Dragon Flies with GS, but 2 natives came through. Good gold: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in the citadel, external dwellings for Genies and Giants (but she didn't take it on turn 1). On top of all that, there was also a Week of Magi + a Legion artifact. Two Griffin Conservatories (2, 2) are visible. On day 123, I took 1 Conservatory almost without losses. Right away I decided to break through the Dragon Fly Hive next to the Giants, but as always, the GR stack turned out to be only 2 units strong. I left everything there except for 3 Nagas and Gremlins, since I didn't take them. I took the other Conservatory 2 with horrible losses, and then the opponent writes GG. The setup was magnificent, but at the last moment it let me down (((. I looked at his setup and was horrified at how long he endured))

Thanks for the game!

We resurrected everything we could and went. There was a block before the Castle of 26 Dragon Flies with Hypnotize, but 2 native ones came through, gold was not bad 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in the Citadel, external dwelling of genies and giants (but it wasn't taken on 1) on top of that there was also a week of mages + Legion chest. 2 Griffin Conservatories are visible (2, 2). On 123 I took 1 conservatory almost without losses. I immediately decided to break through the Dragon Fly Hive nearby for giants, well there as usual the rank and file stack turned out to be 2 units strong. There I left everything except 3 nagas and gremlins because I didn't take them. I took the other Griffin Conservatory 2 with horrific losses and then the opponent writes GG. The layout was magnificent but at the last moment it let me down ((( I looked at his layout and was horrified at how long he endured))

Thanks for the game!
I'll clarify a bit, the opponent picked all the respawns, I had 1 left, the draw was so-so but I wanted some chocolate, I take respawn, a layout arrives called the "gasket" — that's when the respawn is so narrow that 3 zones are visible to the naked eye at once, hopes were on the secondary town, but the secondary town let me down too, at first some miracle of a 2nd-tier guard on it, and then immediately a block of 10-19 giants, so at 121 a level 2 town, I struggled, poked around and gave up) (oh yes, I clearly saw the opponent's actions because there was a view over my entire respawn, part of the neighboring one, and half of the opponent's). After such layouts, of course, you don't even feel like playing Heroes at all.)

Well, thanks for the game).
