***Rules for online games in Heroes III and the seasonal Ranked Tournament***

Season "Spring 2014"

We are continuing our gradual transition to a new tournament system.
Only reports written in automatic mode in this thread will be counted for the season. A separate thread has been created for fun games. Results from it do not count towards the rating but are taken into account by the tournament organizers.
During the spring, I will make several significant changes to the rules of the seasonal tournament.

We are playing according to Version 3 of the Rules.

The difference that applies to the season:
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/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, if you both agree, you can play according to the standard tournament rules "totaling 3 days":

In case of problems and disputes during the game, immediately contact the referees, as there are many of them, so it is likely that someone will be online in ICQ:
Pit for LM - icq 471401475;
Dirty_Player - icq 408-722-873;
Javdet - icq 275667709;
Gomunguls - icq 499978341;
numOne - icq 305035002;
Mizrael - icq 27384379.

If no one is available, calmly save the game and postpone it. Then write a Private Message to the referees – 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:
Dirty_Player ; Javdet ; Gomunguls ; numOne ; Mizrael ; Pit for LM
and describe your problem.
Please resolve all disputes in this civilized manner, not by arguing on the forum.

Offtopic.
Here – only season 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 with deadlines for the first week (111, 112, 113...),
- not giving auto or gum rests,
- playing with weaker opponents, etc.
All this is eternal and endless, but in this thread it will be off-topic and trolling and will be deleted without explanation.

Good luck to everyone!

Without control, without logistics, without gloves and boots, going all-in,
without decent artifacts, but overall it was great))(I was waiting for when I would be defeated)
Thanks for the game!

I confirm, I had no problems with the roads.

It turned out quite well overall. Hive of Drakes, Griffin Conservatories, Dragon Fly Hives, all that stuff + there were two level 5 caps and +12. I played it decently, but in the final turns my concentration failed me — I forgot to buy the book for the Miner, stood idle at the GO for two days, and then, trouble never comes alone, I moved into the center and passed by a Dragon Utopia where Tazar took the red orb on that same turn, which decided the FB.
Thanks for the game!

That's exactly how it was. The Dragon Utopia with the red orb decided it, and then Tazar easily killed the Miner. Thanks for the game!

Got a bunch of cons, was a necromancer, but also had block, so I had to go off-road through the portal to the computer. On the second one, I killed the cons. On the third, I broke two Dragon Utopias and didn't find control; I didn't have any more Dragon Utopias in this game. In general, I spent the whole game looking for control, but never found full. At the end, I got caught by acceleration, but at that point, I would have lost even without it.
Thanks for the game!

Over-monished, built 4 guilds, and in the last one, finally got DD. Caught Charna. Thanks for the game!

Good start: Stable under the Castle, then an external dwelling of Minoes and Dragons. Dragons for 50+ Hounds — I decided to break through immediately. With the loss of the Devourer and about 35 Troglodytes, the Hounds and the external dwelling fell. Shakti gave me a Log. I decided to play. Then, with a couple of Dragons, a chest for 10k XP — Shakti took Air. Both Gold Mines and another Dungeon were captured. Third secondary is Inferno. The respawn is small, there is 1 Dragon Fly Hive. GO Hydras, right nearby the opponent's exit behind the Sulfur Lairs. Until the end of the week, I collected gold and resources, took a couple of Medusa Hives, Cloak +2 Spellpower-Knowledge, Pendant +2 Speed, external dwelling of Minoes, a mini Naga Bank, and 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 18 Wyverns in total.
Day 121: broke through the Hydras on the first try (-1 Minos and 1 Wyvern). Then a horde of Liches for Sword+3 and a chest for all Air with Advanced Wisdom. Then killed 7 Champions for a Dragon Fly Hive and a Shield +3 Attack-Defense. 2 Prisons, another Dragon Fly Hive.
Day 122: chat helped to clear a Mana Vortex + Dragon Fly Hive on the western road — I run towards him, but the passage is blocked by GO on another Dungeon Respawn and Sulfur Lairs. I attack. -3 Dragons, all Minoes, 10 Wyverns. Then another 5 Wyverns fall on the breakthrough of the Mana Vortex and the Dragon Fly Hive, 50 regular Efreet. I am left with 19 (including the taken mini Dragon Fly Hive) and 1 Dragon.
Day 123: I run into the Dungeon Respawn, grab a max Griffin Conservatory there (-2 Wyverns due to burning) and a Shield of Lion’s Courage. An external dwelling of Drakes, a chest, and another Dragon Fly Hive are visible. Meanwhile, in the center, Das with 2 Cats and 13 Eyes is taking the central Castle. Under him, KZ, a couple of Drowned Sailors, Gladius, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, and chests.
Saved here — after the save, the opponent decided not to continue. Thanks for the game!

A good start, on day 3-4 I grabbed the second Castle and built up horses in the citadel there; by the 2nd week I cleared 4 Griffin Conservatories (3+3+3+1) and put angels in the Castle, then cleared a level 3 Dragon Utopia where I got lucky and received a hat shield+4 all boots+2 all. On day 131 while building and upgrading 13 archangels, I get defeated and for a couple of turns can't reach Goshan, who was standing in the Dragon Utopia... and then it was just back-and-forth, by the end of which the opponent had gained some serious stats, 30 30 attack defense... on day 143 I attack Goshan in the village and 23 archangels show their power.
Thanks for the game!

On day 131, while building up my same-level army of 13 archangels, I get defeated and for a couple of turns can't reach Goshan, who was standing in the Dragon Utopia... well, then it was just chasing each other, by the end of which the opponent had gained some decent stats: 30 30 attack defense... on day 143 I attack Goshan in the village and 23 archangels show their power.
Thanks for the game!

on day 137 the opp got lucky; he couldn't reach my main with 15 archs, 11 vivs, 8 champions, and 9 monks with stats 19-17-11-13
meanwhile I had a flask +2 hp, 18 Galtran, red orb 30-31-23-20
with 8 archs, 700 skeletons, 60 bows, 8 champions, 12 vivs, and 43 spears with fly, I couldn't fly over 6 cells without air with 955 moves; I was short by 1 move, the opp turned around, ran away, and came back with 23 archs..
Funny thing is, during the game I only found 2 Griffin Conservatories... 2+3, 2 Hives and that's it..
in the end in fb, even the terrain played a part for the opp; not only did he split everything in half, but he also threw in some logs
thanks for the game

I went into the third round with 122 and decided to push my luck. In the fourth round, my opponent came out and caught me, but no matter what, I would have lost. My opponent had three units in the Utopia, plus a +6 all-stats book, a vulnerability sphere, and a +2 speed cloak.
Thanks for the game.

Only 2 roads, a few external dwellings, including hydras, a Dragon Fly Hive in the long corridor behind the town. Took the Dwarven Treasury (lvl 15), a Wyvern external dwelling, a couple of Crypts, Taz with Tactics, and have 2 Griffin Conservatories. ГО champions and Efreets. In principle, it could have been spun up, but my opponent's game didn't take off. Thanks for the time.

We played on the "L" map, and our army performed very poorly. On the entire map, there was only one nest of birds, and the "Dungeon" helped us a lot. There was also one "Pandora's Box" artifact, but it was empty. In the end, I upgraded the "Earth" spell, the "Cannon" skill, and the attack, and with 100 mana, I went to the "Gate of Oblivion" with 80 monarchs. They fell easily. Then, I used "Shield" + 4 "All" spells for 60 mana, and after that, the "Fire Elementals" met us as expected, with "Meteor," "Chain Lightning," and "Bolt." I left 7 "Thunderbirds" and 2 "Chimeras." Then, with the remaining companions, I somehow survived in the "Treasure Room," thanks to the "Black Orb" spell. In the end, the stats were the deciding factor. Thank you for the games!

In the first week, there were hydras in the castle and 2 hidden dwellings of vivs. However, Tazar's stats were poor, and he didn't get any earth elementals. By the end of the second week, there were about 50 vivs and 3 angels, and he only managed to deal 127 damage with his Grand Orb, which turned out to be too late. If he had built the chains correctly, he could have dealt 125 damage, which might have saved the situation.
Thank you for the game!
