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

On the first turn, I placed birds and took a small group of air creatures; the external market helped as much as it could. On turn 121, with 4 birds, I decided to enter a small Hive, but ended up in a large one :eek:. I left 2 birds, took 12 ducks. I ran past a Throne Room, and when I checked, I saw that it was a large one. I took over a friendly player's Castle and placed birds in the already built Citadel. On turn 131, I took the Throne Room and went to the Swamp Fortress, where pathfinding and wisdom were already being supplied, and there were 4 explored Pandoras (very helpful: 2x5k experience, 45 lizards, and 15 bulls). I gathered 40 ducks and on turn 141, I took a Children's Utopia, where I received the Captain's Hat, which perfectly complemented the lack of any stat-boosting artifacts and the empty GM5 dwelling. On turn 142, I arrived at the enemy Castle, where I trapped two Angels, and the next turn, they surrendered. Thank you for the game.

We took a couple of turns and got started. In the tavern, Galtran appeared immediately with 2 stacks – let’s play. The start is quite poor, but it’s still playable. There are swamps everywhere, making it quite difficult to find resources. In the first week, I infiltrated the swamp dungeon, destroyed a couple of hives, and the bots focused on speed and got stuck defending the hive. I built a castle and placed Ifrits in the citadel. In the second week, I started clearing out all the hives. After taking 5 hives, I had 46 ducks and a cloak +2 speed. I took a companion from Inferno and destroyed an opponent who had broken through the teleport. I destroyed Galtran’s castle and went after him. After a few days, the opponent was eaten in the dungeon. Thanks for the game!

We took a couple of turns and started. In the tavern, Galtan appeared with 2 stacks – let’s play. The start is quite poor, but it’s still playable. There are swamps everywhere, making it quite difficult to find resources. In the first week, I infiltrated the swamp dungeon, destroyed a couple of hives, and the bots focused on speed and got stuck behind a hive. I built a castle and placed ifrits in the citadel. In the second week, I started clearing all the hives. After 5 hives, I had 46 ducks and a cloak +2 speed. I took a companion from Inferno and destroyed an opponent who had broken through the teleport. I destroyed Galtan’s castle and went after him. After a few days, the opponent was eaten in the dungeon. Thanks for the game!

I spent the first week on the respawn point and placed bears in the citadel.
Gurny leveled up well, also took a consul-1, later a relic with 6 vipers, visited the stables, and went out. Besides two ducks and a consul-max, which couldn’t be defeated without oil, I didn’t find anything. I lost in a super dungeon, where there was only one hive. There was simply nothing to counter the 46 ducks.

They first mistakenly played a week on Jebus Cross with Tofsloy. Then they picked all the rest on 6lm. Then things happened with 4 re on meeting. In the end they decided to flip a coin, I was luckier. Thanks for the time

My bad with Jebus Cross, good luck going forward)

Built two fifth-tier towers, switched to dungeon, acquired transportation magic closer to the endgame. Broke 4 Dragon Utopias, stole one from under the opponent's nose with a Teapot. On 217 in the swamp, Moner attacks me and runs into a red orb; his stats are 18-12 and 19 Archangels, 64 Wyverns, 10 Behemoths, 49 gr Fanatics, 110 Archers, 120 gr Wolves and 37 gr Crossbowmen. My stats are 29-40, 61 gr Wyverns, 24 gr Minotaurs, 14 gr Cats, 15 Vases, 30 Evil Eyes, and 22+1 Snake. The Fanatics shoot at the Wyverns at the very start of the battle and only take off 25 HP. After that, everything becomes clear.
Thanks for the game!

I didn't find a quick way to reach the opponent and lost a lot of days without having control.

I used three restarts. The exit seemed long with the terrain gaps on the rocks, but there were Griffin Conservatories there. The dungeon computer had a magnificent guild with a portal, resurrect, and Dimension Door. The first Dragon Fly Hive at maximum allows you to take the conservatories on 6 Angels almost without losses, as well as the first two-level Dragon Utopia with the Sword of Justice and the Black Orb on the respawn of the Snow computer. I suggested that the red player surrender, but they did not heed my arguments. I captured a town from the Swamp computer and prepared to storm the Tower, which I warned about. Along the way, I picked up a Pandora's Box with Air magic. And in the end, Nellka was caught on a single Green Gremlin — even with Tactics, but that was already the end. Thank you for the game

left a respawn, didn't take it because of stables, market, and a couple of cons...

in the end scouted 4 more, on the respawn and the adjacent, took the comp on the first, native town.

on the second, collected 4 cons for 10 angels and at 131 took the opponent's main. Then a game of cat and mouse, 2 ransoms, and at 144 killed Maryka like a noob.
thanks for the game.

In general, I'm having trouble calculating things at night.

The opponent offered to play under a rules patch, like there are no obelisks, forts, or cartographers on the map (indeed didn't find a single one on the entire map, but there are 4 cons for 10 angels on the opponent's starting respawn), which Crag used to cut Maryka off from the lava at 126). Installed the patch.

Now I can't understand, if Crag took Inferno at 131, at 137 lost a knight with 2 efreets, two remained in the castle, then where did 6 efreets come from at 141 to attack my knight.

Need to first figure out what's going on with the redraw and what the patch is looking at

Now I don't understand, if Craig took Inferno on day 131, on day 137 he lost a hero with 2 ifrits, two remained in the castle, so how did 6 ifrits attack my hero on day 141?


Yes, there was a redraw, but before that, Craig crushed the opponent's army and simply won 70%, losing 1 angel and 3 birds. A battle that should have taken half an hour lasted almost 2 hours due to the opponent's slow moves. I just forgot about everything...

The main thing is that it happened, and what happened before that are just minor details.

Basically, I'm having trouble counting at night.
...
Now I can't understand, if Kreg took Inferno on day 131, and on day 137 lost a hero with 2 ifrits, and two remained in the castle, then where did the 6 ifrits come from that attacked my hero on day 141.

First, I need to figure out what's going on with the red dragon and where the patch is looking.
Okay, Kostya and I will take a look at the saves and count the ifrits with a fresh mind... And the patch should have warned the red dragon that on Mondays, he needs to be more attentive.
