Hello, friends! It's time for us to once again embark on a harsh campaign. To test our martial skill and valor in practice. I am gathering experienced crusaders and recruits under my banner. Welcome to a tournament where you yourself choose your favorite template and timer. But your opponent can do the same.

Official Tournament, held according to the Rules for Organizing, Conducting, and Participating in HOMM3 Online Tournaments
Game version SoD 3.2 (4.0) +HD-mod.
Game rules - Rules for Online Games in Heroes III and the Seasonal Ranking Tournament.
Tournament Organizer - Roger DAltavilla ICQ 624681987
Tournament Judge - Pit for LM ICQ 471401475

Regulations
The tournament is held using a round-robin system. Each participant chooses their favorite template and timer. In rounds where you play as red, the game is played on your template, and the opponent strikes out castles first. In blue rounds, the opposite applies.
To participate in the tournament, you must have already played in some competition on HeroesWorld or have 5 confirmed reports in the season.
Time per round - 2 weeks.

Template (map) selection criteria: any template already used in a tournament is acceptable.
Time limit criteria: no less than 4 min and no more than 10 min. If you absolutely insist on a chess timer, it must be adequate within the 4-10 min framework without battle time. Adequacy is to be coordinated with the organizer.

Transition between tournament stages. The Crusade consists of 3 stages: autumn, winter, and spring. Each stage is held using a round-robin system. To advance to a more prestigious group, you must achieve a higher position within your group. The following criteria are considered (in descending order of importance): 1 - position achieved (a clean position is valued higher than a shared one), 2 - Berger coefficient, 3 - Elo rating earned in the Crusade.
Additional conditions. Between stages, the following are permitted: leaving the tournament, joining it, changing your favorite template and timer. Before the end of registration, a participant has the right to change their template and timer.

The tournament application should look like this:

I took 1 recap, opp 2nd and off we go. Archers built. Gosha came in, I decide to level him. On the 1st I got the native Inferno town, and scouted the 15 zone. And there, as if on order, the Cloak and Boots for necro! In the capital, Wyverns in the castle (without bulls). Gosha with expert logistics and advanced earth magic. On 121 we have 7K for buying and pick up the Cloak and Boots. A day later, a Dragon Fly Hive. Then a Dragon Fly Hive in the enemy zone. We reach the center with 15 Wyverns and 190 skeletons, chase away the blue scout heroes and see an unclaimed Griffin Conservatory (3), we go in. Already easier. Home unchanged, in Inferno there are Pits with an external dwelling. On 3 I break into another treasure zone off-road, there's a mini Griffin Conservatory and a scout hero runs where the opp had previously run, revealing a Griffin Conservatory (2). Plans are to take it and then a Dragon Utopia. But Shakti beats me to it. (((
On 135 I check the 1st Dragon Utopia with 5 Black Dragons, don't go in. I run to another. I stand at the Dragon Utopia, it shows a crowd (no way to check), I go in. On 5 Black Dragons, disaster. Gosha 7 6 6 5 3 angels 350 skeletons 40 demons 14 pits and fire elementals, I get out minus an angel, pits, and 30 demons with fire elementals. Got a blue cap and a +3 all necklace. Then I run to the revealed Dragon Utopia along the scouting path behind the opp. 2nd.
On 141 I don't have time to take the first revealed Dragon Utopia with 5 Black Dragons. A turn later I take it, they give a +4 all shield ((( Shakti has even better parameters. ((( From the 15 zone on a neighboring respawn, another Dragon Utopia was visible, it's in the plans. I fly there, but it's too late. Empty. But I catch Clavius there with 27 Wyverns, 150 skeletons, and 25 Evil Eyes. With an Imp I take down the Wyverns, the opp buys them back.
On 211 I already have 9 Archangels and the opp surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

I took 1 res, opp took 2a and off we went. Archer towers are built. Gosha came in, I decide to level him up. On day 1 I took my native Inferno town, and scouted zone 15. And there, as if on order, Cloak and Boots for Necro! In the capital Wyverns in Castle (without Bulls). Gosha with Expert Logistics and Advanced Earth Magic. On day 121 we have 7K to buy and pick up the cloak and boots. A day later, a Dragon Fly Hive. Then in the opp's zone, a Dragon Fly Hive. We go out to the center with 15 Wyverns and 190 Skeletons, chase away the blue scout heroes and see an unconquered Griffin Conservatory (3), we dive in. It's easier now. At home, no changes, in Inferno there are Pit Fiends with an external dwelling. On day 3 I break through into another treasure zone via wasteland, there's a mini Griffin Conservatory and a scout hero runs where the opp previously passed, revealing a Griffin Conservatory (2). I plan to take it and then a Dragon Utopia. But Shakti beats me to it. (((
On day 135 I check the first Dragon Utopia: 5 Crystal Dragons, I don't dive. I run to another one. On the Dragon Utopia, the creature stack shows "horde" (no way to check), I dive in. 5 Crystal Dragons, total disaster. Gosha: 7 6 6 5 3 Angels, 350 Skeletons, 40 Demons, 14 Pit Fiends with Retribution, I fight through, exit minus an Angel, Pit Fiends, and 30 Demons with Retribution. I got a Blue Cap and a Collar +3 all stats. Then I run to a revealed Dragon Utopia along the scouting path behind the opp. A tier 2 Dragon Utopia.
On day 141 I don't have enough time to take the first revealed Dragon Utopia (5 Crystal Dragons). A turn later, I take it, they give me a Shield +4 all stats ((( Shakti has higher stats even so. ((( From zone 15 on a neighboring respawn, another Dragon Utopia was visible, it was on my plans. I fly there, but it's too late. Empty. But I catch Clavius there with 27 Wyverns, 150 Skeletons, and 25 Evil Eyes. I use Implosion to kill a Wyvern, the opp buys it back.
On day 211 I already have 9 Archangels and the opp surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

We took all the restarts. The start was terrible, the respawn was reduced, 3 shooter blocks. I barely beat the second one, the third only at the start of week 2. I sat on the respawn for a week doing barely anything. It went better after that. I took a barbarian village, fairly easily defeated the green (Castle) and orange (Dungeon). I didn't place a portal, there were no hiding spots. Money was fine, actually. I got Angels. On week 3 I built the only Griffin Conservatory I found, level 2, a few Hives and Naga Banks. Archangels on day 2-11, in the dungeon a Grail Master 4 with Town Portal. Christian with Expert Air Magic, Basic Earth Magic (given in the last slot). 7 Archangels, 39 Efreet, 9 Cavaliers, about 30 Crusaders, and some chaff. I go to the opponent, on day 2-14 I encounter Tyraxor on Sultan Horses on the path. Follows a loss.
Thank you for the game!

Picked all restarts. It played out poorly, respawn was cut, 3 shooter blocks. I barely made it through the second, the third only at the beginning of week two. I sat on the respawn for a week with next to nothing. It went a bit better after that. Took a barbarian village, somehow managed to take out the green (Castle) and orange (Dungeon) fairly easily. Didn't set up a portal, no secret stashes. Money was fine, actually. Built Angels. On the third, I took the only Griffin Conservatory found, level 2, a few Hives and Naga Banks. Archangels on day 211, in the Dungeon GM4 with Town Portal. Christian has Expert Air, basic Earth (given in the last slot). 7 Archangels, 39 Vivi's, about 30 Crusaders and some chaff. Heading to the opponent, on day 214 I encounter Tyraxor on Suzies on the path. Followed by a loss.
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed, lost 3 times, on week 3 my army only had 5 birds, but even then there were chances, just 2 days short of drowning them.
Thanks for the game.

At the respawn, there was an external dwelling of gogs and demons. I went to the dungeon, but money is tight — I didn't even build a Mage Guild there. I wandered around, fooled around for 2 days to no avail, and by the end of the week I reached my native village, taking it on 117. In the capital, efreets in the Citadel without pits. On 116, I sniped the opponent's portal; I decide to buy everything and go head-on.
On 121, 60 gogs, 5 efreets, 10 demons, and singles. From artifacts: ring +1 HP and cards of luck. I attack Daremif (it was on a speed boost with a gargoyle, but no book — couldn't kill it) — I run further; there's a Pandora's box cleared for Darya — I pick up 35 gr. dwarves there. Then follows the surrender. Thanks for the game!

On the respawn, I found some Gogs and Imps, and reached the Dungeon, but I didn't have much money – I didn't even set up a Guildmaster there. I wandered around for two days without much success, and by the end of the week, I reached my home village and captured it on day 117. In the capital, there were Ifrits in the Citadel without any pits. On day 116, I launched an attack from a portal, deciding to buy everything and go for a direct assault.
On day 121, I had 60 Gogs, 5 Ifrits, 10 Demons, and some single units. My artifacts were a ring with +1 HP and luck cards. I attacked Daremif (she was leveling up with a Gargoyle but didn't have the spellbook, so I couldn't kill her) and ran away. Then, I found a weakened Pandor in another city for Daremif and took 35 Gnomes. After that, I surrendered. Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. I wanted to attack Octavia Daremif with 120 mana and reinforcements, but I misclicked and bought her in another city. Everything was ruined. Thanks for the game!

I couldn't place the Angels on the first map because I almost lost to the Dragonflies (we got demoralized and blocked the archers), and the Dragonflies were just blocking the path and guarding the resources. It's really frustrating. On day 125, I have 8 Monks and an Angel, and my Mule doesn't have a book, while my opponent has a much stronger army. gg.

At the start, we got Monere, stables at the Castle, 2 Griffin Conservatories are visible, a Psychic Hiding, a Dragon Fly Hive, Shield +4all, we play. The respawn turned out to be meager, in the end for GO we gathered 9 birds, 3 angels, and 10 ducks, output 123. The opponent started a couple of days later, roughly equal in meat, but Monere had higher stats. Thanks for the game.

Interesting approach. What does 5 hours mean? 5 hours in battle? Or how should this be understood? Sodowski timer, damn it!!!! This is what personally annoys me...

Guys, do you really understand what's going on?

There's a match with a Sodowski timer, and I personally don't like the opponent's moves taking 20-30 minutes, but according to the rules, he has the right to do so. According to the same rules, I also have the right to do so, but I don't want to engage in this... But it seems I'll have to... 5 hours, so 5 hours. I'm even ready to play for a month without a break... I'll keep spawning golems or dwarves for 25-30 days, my power supply will handle it, but will his?
