We need an English name for it, and "spring" is associated with the season, not a spring.

or you can use the German name, Feder.

you can also call it in German: Feder

yes, yes, that is fantastic.

I would also like to see a naval map template; I don't even know why there aren't any.

The sea map is already ready; I'll release it as soon as I have time.

And if you remove the movement penalty for boarding a ship or reduce it to 10-25% of the turn or 200-300 movement points, then water will become more interesting. P.S. By the way, for the "War of the Throne" (WOT) expansion, if there is no war against the "map" itself, you could add an option during battles with neutral factions to choose how many stacks to fight against, from 1 to 7, to reduce the battle time.

In the near future, I plan to hold a tournament using the Olympic cup system with strict deadlines. Draft regulations: 0) Games are played until one player wins. 1) Registration for the tournament lasts 7-10 days. The time limit for a game is 2 days: 1 day for playing, and 1 day for finishing the game. The game starts at 7:00 PM Moscow time. Players must play for at least 6 hours before they can request a postponement. The tournament will include breaks, most likely on Sunday and Monday. 2) A total of 2 days of restarts are allowed. The organizer monitors attendance at the tournament. Being 20 minutes late results in a loss of 1 restart day; being 40 minutes late results in the player losing all restart days; being 1 hour late results in a technical loss. This applies to each player (if both players are late, both lose restart days). Players may start the game earlier at a time that is more convenient for them, but they must inform the organizer. 3) Technical results are awarded by the tournament judge. After the game time limit expires, the unfinished game is submitted for a technical decision. The position is evaluated as if both players had revealed their save files and have complete information about each other. 4) If the number of participants is not a power of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.), some players will receive a bye in the first round. Priority for receiving a bye: 1 - Victory in FB7 2 - Victory in Lyubimchiki-6 3 - 2nd/3rd place in FB7 4 - 2nd/3rd place in Lyubimchiki-6 5 - Victory in any other online tournament 6 - 2nd/3rd place in any other online tournament 7 - Consistent seasonal rating 5) The player listed higher in the pair chooses the map (and also chooses the color). Their opponent then chooses the starting castles. List of maps: 8mm6a (20+8+1), 6lm10a (20+8+1), JC (22+8+1), Diamond (22+8+1), 2sm4d(3) (18+6+1), Balance L-U (18+6+1). The numbers in parentheses indicate the chess clock time used for that map. The time can be changed by mutual agreement, but only to a shorter time. I am currently developing the prize; we will discuss the draft.

Maybe at least 3 days?

Players have the right to start the game earlier at a time that is more convenient for them, but they must inform the organizer about this.

What if a more convenient time is also later?

Has the SoD timer already been discontinued?

Was the SoD timer already buried?

No one buried it; it was stillborn:smile16:

+100500, haven't played with SOD timer for about a year. In Crossroads, I encountered it, and waiting 20-30 minutes for a turn is just not enjoyable.

"One for all and all for one 3" awaits you!

With such time limits, the timer should be reduced, to a maximum of +6, otherwise it might be impossible to complete even with disciplined gameplay.

What if a more convenient time is also later?

Within reasonable limits, I think this is possible. If both players agree and want to start later, the game can start no later than 23:00 Moscow time. But the organizer needs to be warned in advance, and it is better if both players confirm the postponement of the match.

With such deadlines, the timer needs to be reduced, maximum +6, otherwise it may not be possible to complete even with disciplined play.

Reducing the timer might be a good idea. I need to think about it.

In general, I raised the topic to find out: is this format of competition of interest? We need at least 8 people for a trial tournament in October.

Utopia. A tournament designed for hardcore players. Either the most dedicated players will participate, which is unlikely, or there will be a lot of technical issues.

Well, the shortest time I've seen for a tournament was 1 week.

It seems like it was 3 days in M200.
