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 start was very brisk — I picked up an Axe +2 Attack, two level-ups; as a result, by week 1 day 1, Crag Hack has 9 Attack — monsters are dying to an un-upgraded Ballista.

On week 1 day 2, I hit a roadblock, immediately behind the guard of the center are 20+ Minotaurs.

No way out — I go to the corner. There I don't see a path to the computer; the treasure is completely empty, the initial momentum is gone somewhere.

On month 1, I get Bears in the Citadel -> I recruit everything, on week 1 day 2, I break through the Minotaurs. Then immediately a portal to another center, where I take 3 Dragon Fly Hives totaling 18, a level 1 Griffin Conservatory; on week 1 day 6, the opponent runs out with Gremlins and Nagas, takes away my central town.

On the other side, I take the level 2 Griffin Conservatory, approach the opponent; the opponent has no money to buy back — gg.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

OFB has historically been difficult for me (maybe it's the name?): a hard-fought victory in the first round against marajan with a score of 221, then an incomprehensible game with Aiwe with a score of 222, and then it got even harder: 2 dragon units and 4 unified units didn't help me win against THAT ONE (231), and now SIMON with a score of 224...
Details tomorrow (c)
Thanks for the game!!
I'll be ready to play again starting Monday, June 16th!!
Confirmed! Thanks for the game.

Great start! Everything was re-rolled, and then there was a dungeon with a single path leading to it, guarded by ogres, laurels, totaling 84 troglodytes. In my opinion, this saved the game and gave me an advantage of 112 boots. It seems like I got a mini-nostrum, and on level 131, I found a broken loom in a lit treasure chest with an expert earth elemental, without any logic, and with a diplomacy-based foundation. In the treasure chest, I found two Pandora artifacts and, for over 100 pegs, a Knowledge Zone. I had 180 troglodytes and 50 eye units, and that was basically it. After the Knowledge Zone and Pandora artifacts, I leveled up and attacked the dendrites for the Cloak of Renunciation, and they joined me. Of course, I went into the utopia, where I got a Key of the Void and +4 to all stats. Then, after defeating them, I went into another treasure chest where I found two utopias, one of which gave me +6, +5 to all stats, and +3 to earth magic. On level 141, I stormed into the main treasure chest in the dungeon, looted it, and as a result, I faced the opponent with +2 speed, 30 alliance units, a red orb, and bracers.
22 gray, 19 brown bears, 28 cyclops, 101 evil eyes, 100 monarchs, 115 dendrites, 151 golden golems.
The opponent retreated to the Fortress.
Thanks for the game.

A large respawn spawned with 2 level 2 Griffin Conservatories and an external dwelling of gremlins. The papa was farming properly, took the Conservatories on day 1 week 2 and went to the opponent. Thanks for the game.

It spawned a large respawn with two level 2 Griffin Conservatories and external dwellings of gremlins. The moner daddy leveled up just right, took the conservatories on 122 and went to the opponent. Thanks for the game.

This game was nonsense, but it happens. Starting from 121, the opponent consistently had higher stats (got plenty of artifacts along the way), and their magic was also stronger. So despite having a double, I didn't go for the center (and rightly so, it was empty anyway). On 122, I entered a giant corner treasure zone, traveled through it for 3-4 days with 3000 MP along the way to a small town, and didn't recruit any troops or find any artifacts (except for a Ring of Speed). When the opponent arrived, I recalled home, did a hit-and-run out of frustration (not critical, thanks for the restart), and surrendered in the battle (there was absolutely no chance there). Thanks for the game!

Great start)) everyone scouted and here's the underground with a one-way block of greased ogres, laurel, totaling 84 troglodytes, in my opinion the boots saved the game on 112, it seems to have been dealt to Mininost, on 131 I broke into a revealed treasure zone with expert earth without logistics, with diplomacy base, in the treasure zone with scouting revealed are 2 pandora's boxes and for 100+ pegasi KZ, I had 180 troglodytes and 50 evil eyes and that's all, after KZ and pandoras I leveled up and attacked with the cloak of denial against the dendroids that had joined, of course I went into the dragon utopia, which gave KV and +4 all, then after defeating it into another treasure zone where I found 2 dragon utopias in one of which gave +6 +5 all and on land +3 all, on 141 I broke into the main treasure zone in the underground, plundered it, as a result I came to the opponent with +2 speed, stats 30 alliance, red orb, and bracers
22 gray, 19 brown bears, 28 cyclopes, 101 evil eyes, 100 monarchs, 115 dendroids, 151 gold golems,
in FB the opponent surrendered
thanks for the game
started very well, but Saira leveled up very poorly. went into the dragon utopia with stats 1 attack, 10 defense - with Vistan. took it. then slow moves, logistics, no stable. on 135 ate the needed pandora with Vistan (without the book and wisdom), and there was the entire fifth level. That largely decided it. everything happened slowly. Saira was never given earth. found the 5th level hat only a day before meeting the opponent. was far behind in stats. thanks for the game

On level 1, I found two stacks of wood and one stack of horses. On level 115, I collected the Cursed Armor. On level 121, with 20 Vivs, I went to the Gate of Oblivion, defeating 20 Angels and going straight to the opponent (there was a scouting of the land). On the way, I found a red orb (perfect for the armor). Thanks for the game.

On the 1st I killed the computer - Castle, found 2 hives, a stable and defeated 100 skeletons
At the start of the 2nd I build up at the stable, take both hives (turned out to be small:( ) and stable 2, move to the center, there are 3 Dragon Utopias standing close by, an external dwelling of wyverns behind 7 green dragons and 2 gold ones, broke the Utopia guards, passed by the dragons, found a stable, enter it, there is a 4-stack with a upgraded stack, beat skeletons, 1 duck and an angel, found the exit to the reds, with 5 angels I break the dragons, take the same external dwelling of ducks, stand on a mini Utopia
On 131 I break the Utopia. minus gnolls, skeletons, 8 ducks and an angel, they give boots of levitation, by the way Tazar experted earth, but there is no book. Run to retake the opponent's second town, retook it and there are unbought demons and pits, I buy them out, build up. Opponent runs to attack, I attack with shackles and win thanks to mass slow. Thanks for the game!

On the 1st week killed the computer - Castle, found 2 beehives, a Griffin Conservatory, and necromanced 100 skeletons
At the start of week 2, I speed up at the stable, take both beehives (turned out to be small :( ) and Griffin Conservatory 2, go to the center, there are 3 Dragon Utopias lined up in a row, an external dwelling of wyverns behind 7 green dragons and 2 gold ones, broke the guards of the Dragon Utopias, passed the dragons by, found a Griffin Conservatory, go in, there's a level 4 with a grail stack, they killed skeletons, 1 duck and an angel, found the exit to the red player, with 5 angels I break the dragons, take the external dwelling of ducks, stand on a mini Dragon Utopia
On week 13, week 1, I break the Dragon Utopia. Minus gnolls, skeletons, 8 ducks and an angel, they give boots of levitation, by the way Tazar has expert Earth, but no spell book.

Thanks for the game!
Lack of money and absence of oil decided the FB

Good road split, there’s an external market, found an external dwelling of birds — I’ll play. I couldn’t find any imbalanced picks either in the tavern or at spawn, but I quickly colored my native towns, took the bird external dwelling, got bears in castle via the market, found boots+gloves in carts/wagons, Crag Hack got Logistics, albeit alongside Resistance and Luck. From week 2, I gained very strong tempo, with repeated splitting and re-splitting, ate all the tastiest stuff underground, uncovered the Cartographer, stole the Grail via Fly, after first fending off the KV. Tiracsor randomly got Diplomacy, so I’m planning to switch to him, but the opponent appears. With 2 Dimension Doors I reach him and attack with superior stats; the melee is even, but Crag Hack wins the Fireball without a fight — only 4-11 and 30 mana there.
As the saves showed, the opponent had 8 Sprites + Cartographer at spawn :eek:, but a severe tempo drop; the diplomat managed to recruit 70+ Storm Elementals, and that seems to have been it.

Thanks for the game!

P.S. I’ve been meaning to ask — who decided that Blue chooses the template and castle?
Needless to say, the only Red template in the tournament is Jebus Cross (if you don’t count the crazy SMK that hardly anyone in their right mind would play), and Blue’s advantage in this regard is very significant.
P.P.S. I’ve wanted to write this for a long time, but somehow never got around to it.

Didnt take restart with a poor map, but 8 heroes on 111, expected that opponent will take his one. So it worked. Next map was very large and very rich for me. Crag, Luna, Gurnisson, Brissa, gloves, boots, cape of velocity, 5 conses (1+1+2+2+3), some little hives and dwells, pendant of courage, trading post... Broke 123 with 3900 moves, good stats and army and went to opponent area, no warning for center. Killed Tazar in his capitol. There were spellbinders hat, 3 angels and 7 hydras. No chance for Huanito. Thx for game and good luck in the next one!
