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

The game turned out to be wild =), at the start of the third week, the opponent snatched my main town and set a simple noob trap for me, and naturally I fell for it, losing 60% of my army on the outskirts and 4 angels in the main town, paying off only 2 because I was out of money =(, as a result, after buying back at 135, I had 2 angels, 23 cows, and the computer had built up its angels. At that moment, fortune decided I'd had enough fails and switched to the opponent =), instead of finishing the game within 2-4 turns, the opponent got distracted by clues in another direction, and then wanted to clear a treasure zone. Meanwhile, I picked up 2 scrolls that decided the course of our encounter — TP and DD — and built a level 5 guild; after that, it was just a matter of technique: I snatched the opponent's main town, stationed angels there (the opponent had spent all their money buying own fabulous dragons, whose external dwelling they found in a treasure zone), took 3 Dragon Utopias, placed archangels in the computer's Castle, and organized an FB.
thanks for the game.
That happened to me too; the game was split into two halves — playing at home and playing at work. While I played at home, everything was good; the first 1-2 turns at work also went normally by inertia, but then miracles began... After destroying almost all of the opponent's army, I relaxed a bit, decided to handle some business in parallel, and for some reason didn't go for the kill, deciding instead to "fatten up" a bit more. In the end, in 3 treasure zones, I found 2 cons 1 and 2, 3 hives, a fairy external dwelling, and 0 Dragon Utopias, which ultimately decided everything.
Thanks for the game

14.04.2014 Chemist_HP (Red, Rampart, Kyri, Kyri) def SVAROG (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 232

I don't remember how we started anymore, with three secondary towns and no caches;
by the end of the third week Kyri is standing in the metro treasure zone from the Castle secondary town near the Dragon Utopia, a chain established to a previously taken Tower secondary. The Miner appears, cuts the chain and takes the capital. Seriously scaring them with a stack of 10+ bears and 20 defense, against Kyri's 10.

In the Dragon Utopia they give a +4all shield and wings, and Kyri, having lost the Tower secondary, goes into the swamp treasure zone via the Inferno secondary.
I mooched to the limit, from start to finish. Even pulled the Dragon Utopia from under the tent.

During this time, in my capital which was passing from hand to hand, I got an impl; in the Inferno - a portal on earth exp and gr.pits; in the Castle I put archs; from 5 Dragon Utopias just a little of everything, but without books. Impl under 2500 and a black orb for black drags.

Towards the end of the 2nd week of the 2nd month, the Miner settled in the Rampart, and Kyri didn't have many flyers. But then on 227 the Miner leaves the Rampart and like doesn't have enough moves to return.

On 231 I take my capital and next move FB in the field - I definitely out-mooched him, both in stats and army.

Thanks for the game!
Confirmed! well regarding "definitely out-mooched" I would argue; 8 archs 23 ducks 53 grands 12 unicorns 33 pits and 20 woods with Kyriusha against 3 black drags 11 negro.bears 68 gr.minos, 70 gr.medusas 3 angels 12 ducks 37 gr.eyes; on 137 I was a couple of moves short of hitting Mephala with all the power, but otherwise I agree. thanks for the game!

Yegor chose the Restoration, I didn't. He surrendered after building archers and two outposts on his starting town. No good heroes appeared, so I had to level up Valya, and she ended up with the Fortress. In the first game, I took the green and pink swamps; both swamp lords built a Vineyard, and one even built a Citadel. The other built a Citadel himself. I took a Vineyard from the green player. There are Knights in the Fortress. At the beginning of the second game, I take two dwarf lords, and blue players run into the green zone, take the town, but I manage to evacuate the Vineyard. On turn 124, Valya with Oil of Speed takes the outposts, both level 3, and gets Attack and Log. Grindan with 15 Vineyards and 2 Hydras stands to defend. On turn 125, with 6 Angels, 11 Vineyards, and 4 Knights, I attack with Valya. The combat stats are 7/9, and Grindan's are 1/0. The Angels destroy the Vineyard in two rounds, and he surrenders. Thanks for the game!
Thanks for the game!

Towards the end of the 2nd week of the 2nd month, Miner settled into Rampart, and Kirya didn't have many flyers. But then on 227 Miner leaves Rampart and it seems he lacks the move to return.

On 231 I take back my capital and next turn FB in the field - I farmed specifically, both in stats and army.

Thanks for the game!

In the first game, I captured 6 castles, and with a huge number of markets, I managed to place almost a thousand units everywhere, plus bears in the main castle. In the second game, I was afraid of a rush, but after realizing that Soulmir wasn't the main hero, I calmed down. In the final battle, near the enemy castle, I won. Thank you for the game.

On first map I took 6 castles, and with an insane number of markets I managed to place almost a thousand + bears everywhere in my main.
On second map I was afraid of a rush, but realizing that Solmyr is not the main hero, I calmed down. In the FB near the opponent's castle, I won.
Thanks for the game.
I confirm, on 111 I deflected a shield + 4d with 20 wasps, took over a necro village and a necro AI, barely got nagas set up in the Citadel, expanded, deflected 2 supporters, and entered the opponent's Inferno zone, built a Griffin Conservatory - maxed, I build a Griffin Conservatory in the opponent's zone, also maxed, couldn't take anything, saw 1 Dragon Fly Hive, didn't take it, miner got earth magic but never maxed it. On 126 the opponent came to my main, even after buying up all the native meat I couldn't win the FB, the opponent outmassed me with angels and ducks, thanks for the game!

Just a reminder that tomorrow is the ODD (Obligatory Day of Delayed Games). There are many players who haven't been active, and I haven't heard from them. If you want me to mark them as 0-0, I will. It's not a problem for me. Please report any problems with opponents on the forum or send me a message on ICQ or in a private message. In short, Monday is the last day, and Tuesday is the day for technical issues.

Both players chose all the rest stops and ended up with terrible results. I only have one path to the treasure, through the mine. In the tavern, there's the Papal Gerwulf, but nearby is the Papal Goshan. Goshan got lucky with the log and earth spells, on level 113 he defeated the perches, and on level 114, he defeated the Pandora with 90 gnolls. On level 115, the message about the surrender arrives.
Thx for game!

We played without resets. At home, 2 external dwellings of Gorgons, 2 external dwellings of Lizardmen — I believe such things cannot be reset. On [day] 121, I took a Pandora's Box behind upgraded Basilisks and got 15 Lords — that's when the breakthrough started. Too bad the one-way portals spoiled things a bit.
I had to go into the only treasure zone. I kill 13 Angels with the Lords. I get +4 All Shield, Luna also clears something with Loga. In the treasure zone I found several Dragon Fly Hives, 5 Dragon Utopias. In the Dragon Utopias they gave KZ KV KV, and then Kyrre appears. I cast Town Portal and chase him down — in a fight with Kyrre.
Kyrre stats: around 10-12 Attack/Defense, 16 Mana.
14 Angels, 16 Dragon Flies, 60 Grand Elves, 11 Unicorns.
Tazar — level 22, 2 Speed, 200 Mana, 23/25/12.
30 Mighty Gorgons, single stacks of Dragon Flies.
Thanks to Mana and removing Anti-Magic with the single stacks, it was a one-sided match. Thanks for the game

We started playing without restarts. At home, 2 external dwellings of gorgons, 2 external dwellings of lizardmen, I think this shouldn't be restarted. On day 121, I took a Pandora's Box behind some upgraded phoenixes and it gave 15 Lords — the beginning of breaking through everything. Too bad the one-way portals made life difficult.
I had to go into the only treasure zone. I kill 13 angels with the Lords. I get +4 shield all, Luna also clears something with Loga. In the treasure zone I found several Dragon Fly Hives, 5 Dragon Utopias. In the Dragon Utopias they gave КЗ КВ КВ and then Kyrre shows up. I cast Town Portal and chase him down — Kyrre is in the Firebird.
Kyrre's stats: around 10-12 mana, 16
14 angels, 16 wyverns, 60 grand elves, 11 unicorns
Tazar — level 22, 2 speed, 200 mana, 23/25/12
30 monarchs, a handful of flies
Thanks to the mana and dispelling anti-magic with the few flies, it was a one-sided game. Thanks for the game.
Thanks for the game!
There were no Dragon Utopias, the army was excellent — 14 angels, 36 Wyverns, there's a Castle with an external dwelling of angels, but the stats were nothing. I was looking for a Dragon Utopia and ran into the red player unsuccessfully.

Good start with the birds in the Citadel on the first. In the end, it all turned into power-stacking. On day 227, having only Town Portal against my full control, the reds surrendered.

Thanks for the game.

P.S. I messed up somewhere when filling out the form, Moner came as the starter.
