"only XL-2"

Greetings to all fans of "XL" templates! This tournament is just for you:smile20:


I. Rules and Templates.

1. The rules are standard. The tournament will be held using the SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD-mod version of the game.
2. XL templates: 8mm6a, 8хм12а, 6LM10a, 8xm8a, Spider.
3. Template selection is standard; Red starts first, with Blue making the final choice.
4. Castle selection is done by poll in a standard manner; Blue starts first. After restart, the color does not change (by mutual agreement, Random can be chosen, with resource selection and color swap).
5. Total number of restarts (113), i.e., 111+111+111, 111+112, 113
6. Time limit per turn with chess timer - 21:00+08:00+01:15
7. Roads are medium and fast
8. The time for one game is 2 weeks

II. Regulations

Stage 1 – Group Stage

16 groups of 6 players each. Two players from each group advance to the next stage, based on the highest score.
In case of equal scores, places are determined according to additional criteria (in order of priority):
1. Berger coefficient.
2. Head-to-head result.
3. Points scored in a game "weigh" more than technical defeats.
4. If it is impossible to determine who advances to the playoffs based on previous criteria, players will be offered a scheme for tiebreaker games. At this time, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be developed based on the situation that arises in the groups at the end of the stage.

Round 1: February 14 - February 27
Round 2: February 28 - March 13
Deadline for 2 games: March 15
Round 3: March 14 - March 27
Round 4: March 28 - April 10
Deadline for 4 games: April 12
Round 5: April 11 - April 24
Deadline for 5 games: April 26
RESERVE, voting for the playoff bracket: April 25 - April 28
Playoff draw: April 27 - April 28
Vacation: April 29 - May 8, CIS-2015

Attention!!! Failure to play the required number of games (report the played games) by the deadline results in disqualification, except for vacation or valid reasons, provided that you inform the organizers about the reason in advance.

In the group stage, each player can take a two-week break; notify the tournament organizers in advance (before the start of the round), with the obligation to play the games before the next deadline.

Victory – 3 points; defeat – 0; draw – 1 point (counted at Stage 211+ at the discretion of the organizers)

Players who have already advanced to the playoffs should send me two answers to the question in ICQ:
1. Template selection
a) Template selection is done in a standard manner.
b) Random template selection (specify preferences: coin toss once for template selection or every time after restart).
1. Castle Selection
a) Castle selection is done in a standard manner.
b) Castles are selected randomly, with color change after restart.
P.S. Please do not just write "1a 2b," but provide a complete answer. All voting results will be posted on the forum..

Stage 2 – Olympic Tournament

32 players, random distribution, 1st place and 2nd from the groups.
Changes to the rules based on the voting results:Random castle selection, with bonus selection and color swap.

Round 1 1/16 May 9 - May 22
Round 2 1/8 May 23 - June 5
Round 3 1/4 June 6 - June 19
Round 4 1/2 June 20 - July 3
Round 5 FINAL up to 2 wins July 4 - July 31; August 14

III. Organizational Issues

1. The tournament starts on February 13, 2015 (processing of the poll for castle selection, determination of the final regulations of the tournament, draw of groups)
2. The tournament is official
3. The tournament is held according to Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments
4. Tournament host, organizational issues – Scorpiona (ICQ 469326983), Nitro (ICQ 627769385) – organizational issues.
5. Tournament judge – Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873)
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. The winner of the tournament will receive a medal under their avatar.

We agreed to play random Castle. Vokial showed up. On day 122, I lost the entire two-week growth from the castle using stupid Turis in a Nagash piece. But Vokial still had 100+ skeletons and a bone dragon from the refuge. We continue playing. On day 124, word came of a surrender—another loss at the Griffin Conservatory. Thanks for the game!

But Vokial had 100+ skeletons and a bone dragon left from the refugee camp. We play on. On 124 word of a surrender arrives, there's also a loss at the Griffin Conservatory. Thanks for the game!

The giveaway was 10 out of 10. I don't remember the last time it dropped this much. 5 cons for 11 angels taken with the loss of 1 thunderbird and goblins, Galtran with prisons for offm and def, who collected 300 bones in a few days and leveled up perfectly. At 126 I killed the opp in the center; there was enough power and stats for any Dragon Utopia, basically for all occasions.
Thanks for the game.

We decided to play a papal random, and after restarts Brogh appeared with almost no army. With great difficulty, I found 2 external dwellings of Gnolls at the respawn and took a couple of good crypts. Money came in, but I had to spend the whole week at the respawn, since going into the steppe adjacent zone was not an option, and the exit to the elevator in the corner was completely blocked. The beginning of the game was made by a tent near Verdish, thanks to which I broke through a bunch of small shooter guards on Wyverns and Wasps. I found an external dwelling of Wasps and upgraded them to 116(!). Then I got wiped on Wyverns against 19(!) Grands :confused: Almost tilted, but continued the game, after which I gave away everything left in a Dragon Fly Hive on 6. But on 121, 9 Wyverns with growth looked quite playable!
I took revenge on the Grands, very carefully took Naga Banks of 3 and went to the Barbarian adjacent zone. There was another Dragon Fly Hive there, and somehow I got rolling, reaching the corner town, since I was cut off from the center.
On 132-133, I took 2 Dragon Utopias. They gave a level 5 hat, an all5 sword, and a 4-4 hat. Well, after that the farming began... Through a bugged passage I ended up near the orange castle, there were Griffin Conservatories and Angel construction, found a Town Portal scroll and built GM4 in the town. By week 4, I drove Blue off my respawns, took his computer — also a castle, and then my own main. Built Archangels and continued to farm. Brogh was a real noob with remnants of Water Magic: without Earth and Air, but with Water :smile30: Played strategically with noobs: Brissa with 2 Dimension Doors and Town Portal, Calid with Town Portal, Müllich from jail. Gunnisson also collected some Dragon Utopias, got stats, wings, and KB, but against 15 Archangels and 60 ducks with stats around 30 under Mass Prayer, FB ended in round 1.
Thanks for the game!

Brogh was really a loser with remnants of Wizarding Tactics: no Earth or Air, but with Water :smile30: I strategized with losers: Brissa with 2 Dimension Doors and Town Portal, Calid with Town Portal, Mullich from jail. Gunnison also collected Dragon Utopias, got some stats, wings, and КВ, but against 15 Archangels and 60 ducks with stats near 30 under Mass Prayer, Fireball ended in 1 round.
Thanks for the game!
The only exit on the road was blocked by 10-19 Psychos, so I also wasted the entire week on the respawn. Out of 7 Griffin Conservatories, only two were double stacks, the rest were singles. I also had full control and good stats, but I couldn't out-stomp in terms of raw power.
Thanks for the game

It was quite a lucrative haul. On the first, I killed 2 bots, Conflux and Rampart, with the second one on day 117 with a Citadel build on 1-5.
There, on the bot's respawn, I found a Griffin Conservatory level 2, took it on day 121 and split my forces to go home and pick up another level 2.
After that, I ran to a corner village, chopping down another level 3 Griffin Conservatory along the way.
On day 131, I took a Dragon Utopia 2 with Sword of Judgement and +3 to all stats. Kyrre's stats are 23 21, a fat purse and 3100 MP.
Next, through the Rampart's Castle, I come out to face the opponent, seize a village from which I scatter my heroes in different directions and find a Dragon Utopia that contained Wings of the Guardian. Right next to it, I take a Griffin Conservatory 2, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and another Dragon Utopia with +6 to all stats and a Shield.
Kyrre is now 30 29. I seize the opponent's native Castle. Neela reveals 2 Dimension Doors and something very much like Town Portal, but on the next turn I find her holed up in Inferno with 100+ horned demons, 4 angels, 8 Wyverns, and single units of Efreeti. I decide to attack and win.

Thank you for the game!

A typical easy win with restarts. At first, it seemed like we were playing a map where I had a double dungeon. But on turn 113, my opponent saw that I had already taken the castle from my companion, and Dess emerged as the main hero. Thus, my opponent was left without restarts, but in the very next game, I was given a Necropolis, while my opponent had an unfavorable starting position with blocked paths. Thanks for the game, and for not wasting time!

Typical easy win on restarts. At first it seemed we were playing a map where I had a double dungeon. But the opponent on 113 saw that I had already taken a castle near my base, plus Dess came out as the main hero. Thus, the opponent was left without restarts, but in the very next hand I was given Necro, and my opponent got an unpleasant respawn with dead blocks. Thanks for the game, and for not stalling for time;)!
I'm tired of playing on my own generator. The first hand seems alright, but I chickened out on Dess and a block with Efreets in the corner Trejak.
The second - well, this one is just crazy. One way is a block of 50-99 Dendroid Soldiers. The other way first has 19 Elves, behind them a choice of 50-99 Archers or 50-99 Energy Elementals past the Dragon Fly Hives. Further on, who knows how many Lizard Warriors. In short, I waited for the opponent to take their 113 move, looked at this mess, figured that Knights in Citadel without money for buyout on 121 is not so great, and decided not to waste mine or Kostya's time for nothing. Thanks for the time.
Когда рестартов не осталось, обязательно ждите Гурниссона без балисты:D
