***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!

I hid the angels near the castle, and as a result, I brought 32 archers, + 2k skeletons, and ducks with 90 attack. The black dragons from the companion's castle couldn't handle it. Thanks for the game!

I could have won, but I lost :trollface:

Thanks for the game!

Average deal, secondary roadless terrain, otherwise 2 horse-speed artifacts, though rather far, but I managed to get them, I took the Dragon-speed artifact as well, it helped, a Dragon on the first, not much meat and 6 Angels with 2 Cons. In general, I came out at 123, there I immediately took the Sword and the Chalice +11 all, and a Dragon Fly Hive on 6 ducks. Didn't manage to get anything else — the blues arrived. FB on parameters without mana pulled it off, I was left on 12 ducks. Then the opponent replenished mana and decided to kill with magic, but played carelessly and didn't escape the fight.
Thanks for the game.

On day 111, there are 3 paths: to the left is a swamp (blocked), straight ahead is the Dungeon, and to the right is a grassy area. I run Solmyr to the grassy area, and then send Gunnar after him. In the grassy area, there are 2 archer nests, and I upgrade + build a Citadel in the Castle. On day 7, I place a Naga in the Citadel. Throughout the second week, I collect Necropolises, but I don't have enough money to buy them. On day 127, I get a golden bow on the secondary Necromancer, and I decide to rush. In the middle of the third week, with a full trade, I defeat the Guardian of Order consisting of 27 Greater Hydras (mass haste + greater djinn) and move to the Barbarian respawn point. The opponent attacks with Dimair, casts Meteor, but can't escape. Then, a trade occurs: I take 2 Citadels, give up my main hero (I don't have enough money to buy reinforcements) and the Necromancer. I run Gunnar back, and the opponent locks himself in with Craig in the Tower. In the global chat, the golden bow is decided.

Thank you for the game!

On the first Kreg, Gurney — first road blocked by 100 mummies, second road leads to secondary with medusas. On day three I break through, there are magic stat boosts, and on day 117 I take birds with a 7-strength mage, and I build them in both my native secondary and home.

On the second map, 13 birds. Went to a Naga dwelling tier-3, came out -6 birds. Collected two Dragon Fly Hives — 16 Wyverns, Griffin Conservatory 1.

On the third map, I assembled with a mage (11 spell power, level 6) to try to trick GO, since Kreg didn't level Earth magic, but then the opponent shows up and I attack him with the mage the next day, killing 35 archers with Meteor Shower. Opponent had Tactics and Air magic; I lost the mage (the opponent prevented me from getting a second turn).

Then on the fourth map, I bypassed with Kreg and took the main town. I thought, "Alright, Kreg level 18 will handle it." Then the opponent shows up with 200 Gremlins and 60 archers and kills Kreg inside the castle. I was surprised when the Gremlins killed 3 Wyverns per turn — turns out he had picked up the Bow.

In terms of leveling, I was ahead: Kreg 18, Deemer 6; opponent — one hero at level 13. But alas, if I had kept the 13 birds and gone to the third-tier map, I could have transported a couple more birds (could have been 19). In that third-tier map there was an external dwelling of Devils, Dragon Fly Hives, artifacts; but I decided to take the Naga dwelling, and I could have taken the second-tier one without losses.

Thanks for the game.

Everything was very brutal: 1000+ upgraded skeletons, 70 monarchs, angels, phoenixes, full control, and it was all seasoned with aotd + red orb + elixir.

Thanks for the game!

Somehow I lost ground inexplicably — without the ability to quickly reach the opponent. By then it was already too late. Control could have decided it, but there were none in the Dragon Utopia or in the 2 cities.

Thanks for the game.

Poor map; in the end, I only found one Dragon Utopia level 1, although it had the Earth Magic book, while Sasha has absolutely nothing. Solmir also found a Fire Magic book and terrified the enemy cockroaches with Efreets. Almost 500 damage from Armageddon convinced them to surrender.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm.
on the 1st there are two external dwellings of birds, then I completely cleared two treasure zones—got nothing.

Thanks for the game.

11 - The first path led to a portal exit, and the second path led to 20+ Lizards+, as expected, guarding the entrance to a dead-end village. I didn't attack; I went back home to replenish mana for my two main units.
12 - Both were single units, but at least I gained some experience on the way to the dead end. Scouts are searching for an exit through the wilderness.
13 - By the middle of the week, I finally reached a crossroads.
I explore in all directions and find the opponent's army, conveniently divided into 3 parts: 100+ Goblins, 30+ Wolves, about 5+ Eagles, 2 Angels, and a Wonder. I can't reach the main hero. In the next turn, the Castle is captured. I send out scouts in all directions and realize that there's no point in chasing. My income is almost 10k per day, but due to the need to buy scouts almost every turn to block one-way paths, I'm constantly short on resources.
14, 21 - Due to a misunderstanding of the map layout (I thought the center was the Treasury) and non-game distractions, I played poorly, wasting many days. I take 1 Utopia (+2 All), pass by the second, forget about the third, and scouts find some good Treasuries. But then irrationality took over - I misinterpreted the map, ran out of mana, and headed into an unnecessary, impassable central (pseudo) Treasury, which happened to be right next to the opponent's spawn point, where his scouts were visible. In short, I died like a hero, a modern super-hero, Tolerast-Man.
And yes, thanks for the game; I'm sorry I ruined it with my poor play.
