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

Summer-Autumn Seasons of 2014.

Rules. We are playing according to Rules for online games in Heroes III and the seasonal Ranked Tournament.
Difference: a system of subjective restarts is in effect: "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, that is, 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, by mutual agreement, you can play according to standard tournament rules "totaling 3 days".

Automatic report submission. Only reports written using the automatic report submission system will be counted towards the rating. To gain access to submitting reports, you must предварительно register for the tournament. Players who have played at least 5 matches with different opponents on the HW forum may participate in the tournament (it is necessary to provide links to detailed reports).
Before writing reports, it is mandatory to familiarize yourself with Rules for Writing Reports.
If there is an error when entering any parameter, you need to inform the tournament judges: Pit for LM - icq 471401475 or Dirty_Player - icq 408-722-873 for correction or cancellation.

Judges. If problems and disputes arise during the game, immediately contact the hosts and judges, as there are many of them, so with a high probability, someone will be online:
Pit for LM - icq 471401475;
Dirty_Player - icq 408-722-873;
Javdet - icq 275667709;
Gomunguls - icq 499978341;
Mizrael - icq 27384379.
If no one is available, calmly save the game and postpone it. After that, write private messages to the judges - 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 ; Mizrael ; Pit for LM
and state your problem.

Offtopic.
Here - only seasonal games - reports and discussion of those game situations that occurred in them.
It is forbidden to condemn players for:
- writing reports with deadlines from the first week (111, 112, 113...),
- refusing to provide autosaves and gum restarts,
- playing with weaker opponents, etc.
In this topic, such discussions will be off-topic and trolling and will be deleted without explanation.

========////////========

I decided to start registration for the ranked tournament earlier so that you immediately have the opportunity to write reports starting June 1st. I will activate applications on Sunday morning.

What's new?
The most important thing is that I want to conduct another experiment and this time combine 2 seasons into one - summer + autumn. I will summarize the results in 6 months. There will be one medal, not two, and with a different design; they promised me it would be very beautiful, and there will be a desire to fight for it.

Why? There are many reasons:
- any rating depends on quantity and quality. In our formula, the transition from quantity to quality begins approximately after one and a half months from the start, and the formula really starts working just towards the end of the season, when more than 1000 games have been played by the forum community. That's when we cut off the results and start all over again. As a reminder, at the beginning of the season everyone is given the same number of points - 1500. Look at the individual results of those players who have the highest "productivity" (more than 30 games) https://polly.phys.msu.ru/~shvets/HOMM3/winter2014/rating.html. At the beginning of the season, any player receives 14-16 points for all victories. By the end of the season, strong players receive 1-2 points for winning against outsiders. Obviously, for the correct operation of the formula, it is necessary to increase the number of games (i.e., the duration of the period), for example, on WCL the results are summed up once a year.
- due to the fact that now the seasonal rating strongly depends on the number of games, the tournament medal does not enjoy authority. I hope that the reward earned in six months will be more valuable, and the season will become more prestigious.
- many good players only play in tournaments and not very often, showing excellent results and defeating the strongest; these games, accumulated over a longer period, will have greater weight in the ranking points and allow such players to compete for high places.
- sufficient statistics on castles and templates are not collected in 3 months, but the results for half a year are interesting.
- formally, it is more convenient for players to register once for six months, and not twice, and wait for activation (I don't always react immediately to the application).

Let's try to increase the duration of our tournament and then analyze the results.

I will try to calculate the current rating (as in spring) 1-2 times a month, depending on player activity, so that you can track changes.

Next. Please pay attention to deadlines (they are already written in the spring season):
- there is 1 week to write a report on the game;
- there is also 1 week to confirm the report on the game;
- the deadline for submitting claims about the game is 1 week.

If we want the rating to be updated more often, then we must work together to properly format reports.
Running after those who do not confirm and urging them takes up a lot of time. Therefore, I will introduce sanctions. I will act simply: freeze the player's application, and those who do not confirm will not be able to post games.

So read what is written and, if you agree with the terms, leave an application.

Good luck!

4 Necromancers arrived (including Galtran with 2 stacks), hiding horses, there's a stable, but a message about surrender arrives.

The horses in the hideout suffered a morale penalty in the first round. Thanks for the game.

Pit for LM

I got three completely stale generations in a row. Then I got opponent twice in a row and it dealt me almost without a chance. The respawn is small and poor. One exit on the road to the underground. I pushed through off-road to the lava, where I collected a few chests and piles, but the treasure zone turned out to be completely useless. Two more treasure zones were on the snow and were narrow corridors where there was absolutely nothing. Well okay, one had a necklace +3 to all and a Pandora's Box for 10+ hydras. The only decent treasure zone turned out to be the first one, the underground one. There were as many as 2 Dragon Fly Hives and 1 Griffin Conservatory along the roads. Also a library and two Pandora's Boxes. So I had to play like that. On the first week there wasn't much money, but I built creatures in the castle, largely thanks to an external market near the capital. There was nowhere and nothing to level up, no troops or suitable neutrals. On week 2 day 1 I somehow bought creatures and took a Dwarf Cottage. Then I broke through 50+ basilisks for an anti-dispel orb. Gundula picked up decent skills, but the opponent had Dessa, Boots of Speed, Griffin Conservatories from week 2 day 2, Titan... Then I went to the Inferno computer. It turned out I just lost about 1.5 days. However, I got an income of 2000 and during that delay I collected some gold. On week 2 day 4 I take two Dragon Fly Hives — 12 Wyverns. Army back home, creature upgrade, which allows me to take Griffin Conservatory 3 fairly easily on week 2 day 5. Then I visit the library, clear a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, and stop at the stables. On week 3 day 1 I take another Pandora's Box for 15k experience and run out of desperation into one of the opponent's underground treasure zones. It turned out he hadn't been there yet — and that was a mistake. I took Boots +2 to all, another couple of Dragon Fly Hives, and sat in a village. Next to it — a Dragon Utopia! I take it, it gives good stats, +6 all and Sentinel's Shield (a two-slotter), but still no magic at all. I run further to scout the treasure zone, discover a Conservatory. The Observation Tower shows a Tome of Air! In some far corner of my underground treasure zone. Then Dessa arrived. Stats slightly lower, troops slightly fewer, but Explosion with 25 spell power will clearly decide the fight not in my favor. I give up the capital, set up a chain to break through to the spell book. Everything aligns perfectly and Gundula, it seemed, was escaping. However, Dessa runs very fast and almost catches up with me in one day, already with the week 4 growth. Nothing to be done, I grab +1 Luck, +1 Attack and desperately attack. But there from combat magic there's only a Bolt for 600+ damage! I have 5 Behemoths, 34 Wyverns, 20 Wolves, 80 Goblins, 7 Angels, and 9 Birds. There — 6 Giants, a Titan, 24 Wyverns, a few Mages, 120+ Blue, a couple of Genies, 6 Angels, a Titan. Three rounds are quite enough for me to cut down almost everyone. I'm left with 13 Wyverns, 3 Angels, and 5 Behemoths plus a few Goblins. The opponent loses everything and runs off to build a Mage Guild. I run to the spell book. On week 4 day 4 I break through the guard and stop near the artifact. Meanwhile, Dessa goes to a very unpleasant part of the map for me, where there's a Cape of Speed and a Pandora's Box with all Air magic. Catching her now becomes practically impossible (4.5k movement points + Dimension Door). She spends the night in my former village. On week 4 day 5 I realize my only chance is to engage now. The plan was 3 Dragon Fly Hives and a Titan's Sword, but I give up on everything, take 6 Wyverns from one, calculate the movement points exactly and, luckily, catch her. I had 3 Angels, 5 Behemoths, 19 Wyverns against 6 Nagas, 2 Behemoths, 80 Gargoyles, and 5 Mages. I cut everything down in three rounds.
Thank you for the game!

I rushed a little.. Thanks for the game!

We played full random with two rerolls; the opponent took their rerolls, after which they got a double dungeon, which for some reason I didn't reroll. Like a noob, I lost three birds in the first week, then another three in the second; somehow at 127 I placed bears in the Castle and started gathering cons. The opponent had an advantage, but they didn't go on the attack, while I calmly gathered cons, leveled up Thorgrim and Gundula, built DD and TP in the very first MG, and collected Dragon Utopias. Once I raised the stats and finally decently doubled the mana for both — I went on the attack, and there was Nagash without any stats. Thanks for the game.
I only got DD in the 3rd built MG 5 in the Tower with a library, and didn't get TP in five built MG 4s and a bunch of looted scrolls. The 2 Dragon Utopias were taken at the end of the 3rd week and at 141 simply for money, essentially. Because of the Dragon Utopias, my power dropped and the opponent's army strength appeared higher, which is why I didn't go for tight contact then. In FB, due to the difference in stats and the lack of offense and armor, there was no chance.
Thanks for the game.

Minor things like mini-chests, morale boosts for Gremlins, maxed-out Necropolises, and focusing solely on Knight upgrades accumulated until the 3rd week, but then Charon arrived with significantly better stats and a corresponding army, resulting in a failure.
Thank you for your time.

Small things like mini-chests, morale for gremlins, maxi-skeletons, and purely Knight upgrades accumulated until the 3rd week, but then Charna arrived with parameters many times higher and a corresponding army; fail.
Thanks for your time.Spread out into 6 heroes, including Jellar (he is indeed the starting one, there's an error in the header), a hero with estates, and Charna. 2 roads besides ГО, 1 to the swamps, another to the sands, but fortunately, these zones were cleared quickly, and I managed to take two computers (dungeon and castle) on the 1st + there is still a Dragon Utopia on the way in the sands. Birds are at home in the citadel. The dungeon-computer hero also had an amulet for necro. Charna is already in a treasure zone with 130 skeletons. I slowly clear this treasure zone all through the 2nd week: a bunch of Pandoras totaling about 30k exp, 50 wolves, 35 gr. wolves, entire 2nd level. Also collected hives for 18 ducks, necro-boots!!, and the library. I set up near the Dragon Utopia in this same treasure zone and on 131 with 500 skeletons take a three-stack; useful items include a shield +12. I crash into castle, on 132 I take the Dragon Utopia in the sands — a one-stack with a kettle and gloves. Then I scouted all treasure zones from the castle computer; on the stones I took 2 beastmasters, 2 hives, necro-cloak, +1 all. But in the underground treasure zone, 2 Dragon Utopias were found; on 135 I take them — both are three-stacks, in the 1st КЗ and +3 all, in the 2nd a cap and +5 all. On 136, 2 necro-scouts pick up a console 3-stack here, clues, a flask, and a ring +1 hp. 1000 bones are accumulated, and Charna TPs to castle and with 2 DD takes the main opponent. Surrender follows. Thanks for the game.

The game turned out to be interesting in its own way. We chose all the restarts, random starting positions. I got Swamp on Necropolis. :( And immediately in front of the castle, blocks of 20+ Marksmen and 50+ Stone Gargoyles. Frustrated, I played the fights poorly, and wrote to my opponent about a restart due to the block. My opponent entered the save, played the fights, and wrote that he wouldn't allow a restart. As a result, after pulling myself together, I decided to redo the fights and continue playing. As the reveal later showed, the starting position was rich. On the respawn, there was an external dwelling of Beholders, 2 level 1 Gnome Mines, a level 2 Gnome Mine, and a chest with 5K gold. The secondary hero, even though on grass - Swamp, with an external dwelling of Beholders and Wyverns. Bron eventually picked up Diplomacy and became the boss. End of week 1: the Beholder dwelling was flagged, in the castle Wyverns with 1-2-3-4-5-6 in the Citadel. On day 2, I took the second Beholder dwelling and Wyverns behind 10+ Death Knights. 2 Gnome Mines were cleared, and a 5K gold chest was taken, scrolls for Implosion and Fly were picked up! On day 127, Bron breaks into the treasure zone. But only 40 mana.
After two battles, I was out of mana. Broke back to the castle to replenish. Meanwhile, Pirr shows light in the treasure zone at a Dragon Utopia and two Dragon Fly Hives with artifacts: a sword +2/2 and a shield +4. On day 132, Bron with Fly grabs the hive and artifacts, and on day 133, a 3-stack Dragon Utopia falls. It dropped generously: a Pendant of Free Will and Wings! (Pity they were for 1 pair) :D And then it began: having Pirr and Monere with Wings, I started collecting hives and artifacts: KZ, 5K experience, shield +4, everything. On day 141, Bron picks up the last 3 hives, and HURRAH! A Cartographer is also found. He revealed not only all the surface but also part of the underground treasure zone where my opponent was operating. (Calmed down, there weren't many Liches in the army) :). In the treasure zone my opponent is clearing, I see КВ, and my opponent is moving towards it. Monere breaks the elevator into the underground to steal КВ with Wings and break through, but emerges slightly off target. Frantically looking for the right elevator, we find it behind my opponent's secondary hero. A plan is born: grab the secondary town, from there reach the prison, and then the tavern (Monere is on a Giant Bee in position for a break-in). On day 142, Tan rises in that secondary town to replenish mana. Bron uses Town Portal to the secondary town, from there takes down Tan (he drops Wings and a Pendant of Free Will, that's good). Fura is bought out, then the prison, and in the external tavern Monere is bought out. And there isn't enough time for all this. Bron barely ran out of my opponent's secondary town, Monere with 80 Wyverns remained in place. :( The mistake here could have been fatal, because Bron could have cast Town Portal home (I forgot to leave him the КВ, and Monere could have been destroyed on the spot with the Wyverns). And then my opponent starts moving, in the teleport I see Charna with legendary stats (I realize Bron is doomed). But thankfully, it's avoided. On day 144, my opponent made a mistake: brought his entire army to this secondary town and left it on a scout hero. Day 144: Monere steals КВ and breaks through, Bron takes 2 Dragon Utopias and Town Portals home. 90+ Wyverns are upgraded, all the meat is bought. We have 90+ upgraded Wyverns and 50+ upgraded Beholders. Town Portal to the secondary town, from there 3 Dimension Doors, and on the last move we reach the secondary town with the army. There is a lot of meat there, but the scout hero and morale are in the red. GG.
Thanks for the game.

The start is very good, lots of gold and an external market, 3 confluences are revealed, but out of a strong desire to kill the computer, I get wiped out at the block leading to him. Then I lose my bear in the max crypt; out of stupidity, I didn't take the ones so as not to dismiss them later, although they weren't needed. On the second [week], I gathered 3 confluences, but only for 4 angels; I didn't want to recruit, but I had to in order to take two revealed Dragon Utopias. At the end of week 3 and on week 4 I took them, they gave wings and stats. Flew over to visit the opponent, Town Portal is built there... right then in the utopia I took КЗ, and after that everything was sad... I still didn't find Dimension Door, but the opponent got it, which allowed him to clear the map and in the end, having the crystal ball, he won.

Thanks for the game.

My start was a bad one. day 1 had to beat 40 Marksmen + moral (block). All the guards to other zones were very strong and therefore with moral :(. Normally the game was lost on week 4 when Crag took my castle with population, but I got TP and DD from second tower. Then I managed to get control over the map. Crag attacked Neela in my tower. She had red orb, golden bow, anti moral art and many shooter. My opponent said gg!
