2. XL templates: 8mm6a, 8хм12а, 6LM10a, 8xm8a, Spider.
3. Template selection is standard; Red starts first, with Blue making the final choice.

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

I'm done playing on my generator, screw that.
The second one — well, that's just total chaos. In one direction, 50-99 tree blocks. In the other, first 19 elves, then behind them a choice of 50-99 archers or 50-99 energy elementals behind the Dragon Fly Hive. Then further on, who knows how many lizard warriors.

Isn't that a restart due to a block?))

It was quite a fat payout money-wise. On the first week, I killed 2 bots, a Conflux and a Rampart, with the second one on day 117 by building 1-5 in the Citadel.
There, on the bot's respawn, I found a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, took it on day 121 and rushed home to grab another level 2.
After that, I ran to the corner village, cutting down a level 3 Griffin Conservatory along the way.
On day 131, I took a level 2 Dragon Utopia with Speed Ring and +3 All. Kyrre's stats were 23 21, fat mana pool and 3100 MP.
Next, through a Rampart castle, I reached my opponent, took a village from which I scattered my horses in different directions and found a Dragon Utopia containing Wings. Right there, I also took a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and another Dragon Utopia with +6 All and a shield.
Kyrre was already 30 29. I captured the opponent's native Castle. Neela revealed 2 Dimension Doors and something very similar to Town Portal, but the next turn I found her holed up in an Inferno with 100+ Greater Demons, 4 Angels, 8 Wyverns, and single Efreet. I decided to attack and won.

Thank you for the game!

My opponent went Inferno, so I had to look for a demon-ally computer. I found one quickly, on the 3rd day. A terrible lack of money forced me to split my army and skip almost all of the 2nd week to scrounge up gold via wasteland paths. By the 3rd week, I finally started cutting and took 2 Griffin Conservatories, level 1+3. Just then Kyrre showed up, snatching a scouted Dragon Utopia one turn before me. Neela galloped through wasteland into the third week, where he caught a box offering all air, took a Dragon Utopia there for a Sword of +5 All, and finished collecting the Elixir. And then I botched a great opportunity. 2 Dimension Doors, Boots, 3 scouted Dragon Utopias, and I chose to bait myself in an Inferno castle, hoping the opponent would fear 100+ Greater Demons. He didn't flinch. In the finals, I lacked the mana pool. Thanks for the game

An interesting game. I chickened out and didn't play Heroes 6, and my opponent even gave me a handicap. After the resets, Gosha is in the tavern - we're definitely playing.
By the middle of the second week, it turned out that the only thing separating us was the Inferno town, which gave a significant bonus to victory. And I just lost it. Trying to take it back proved to be extremely difficult - my opponent's units were well-developed from the stables, and any attempt to attack ended badly... I had to wait. I waited, and the long-suffering Tant captured the town. And then, as I thought, came the finale. I accepted with bracers, but the reds didn't give up.
In the end, I cornered Stracker and starved him out.

Thanks for the game.

It was an interesting game. I played dirty by not playing MM6, and the opp also added a cherk. After the rests Gosha is in the tavern - we are definitely playing.
By the middle of the 2nd week, it turned out that only an Inferno town stood between us, and owning it gave a significant bonus toward victory. And I simply lost it. Taking it back proved extremely problematic - the opponent's loshki were cleared from the stables, any attack attempt ended painfully... I had to wait. I waited, and the long-suffering Tant is painting the town. And then I thought it was the finale. I took it with bracers, but the reds aren't giving up.
In the end, I cornered Stracker and starved him out.

Thanks for the game.

Raised a box across the whole land with Ksi without wisdom, and out of grief, I got killed by Stracker in the Dragon Utopia.
Thanks for the game.

won the generator for fun!
the opponent's green two-way portal was non-functional a day's journey from the main, and a day later the road ended at the exit of a one-way portal, and if you trekked to the entrance, it was another 3 days through the desert
but the red player fell for the Müllich, Monere, and 3 Conscripts at the respawn and didn't restart, although both had a full supply of restarts
the opponent wasn't bothered either that the 4 bots on the map were also Castles

I had 2 external dwellings of Marksmen, and a pendant +3 morale/luck from a pack of Gr. Basilisks, but the gravy train ended there -- terrible poverty, for a long time I couldn't even buy all the shooters from the external dwellings! :smile39: both roads were blocked, I had to, until the Angel that dropped on day 117 from a minimum Conscripts spawn, spin around the respawn, fighting my way to the treasure chests, but I didn't even have enough gold for a Citadel, Horses and Griffins in the Fort, and only 6 heroes total -- on a size 12 map!!! :smile43:
on day 121 I capture the orange Castle, build a Citadel there, and leave a Druid with a shooter, the main army rides across the entire map to another front
at night, the computer, whose main army I had already killed, pulls off miracles (Lightning Bolt scroll, Expert Ballistics, and also a Cannon that picks off singles) and recaptures the town on the last sliver, income back to 500 :smile05: but my hero -- level 12-13 somewhere, with Earth Magic, Offense, Armorer, Tactics, and Wisdom -- takes a corner village, around a bunch of Hives and Pandora's Boxes
I take the Angel back to punish the orange lagger, and on day 127 the slacker with the Angel approaches the purple Castle
on day 131 the red player builds tier 5 dwellings, no DD and no Fly, follows a surrender... GG, thx for the game))

We started without restarts; a scout showed gloves at the respawn, 2 external dwellings of gnolls and one of harpies. On the first continent, I took down Inferno, built Pit Lords + 2 external dwellings along the way, but didn't even place Dragon Flies in the swamp (wood shortage). On the second week, I captured Griffin Conservatory 1 and headed to the center. There was another Griffin Conservatory 4, 2 set boxes with 60 hip-hop goblins and 35 gr. orcs, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and at [131] with 5 angels, 28 Pit Lords, and 19 Dragon Flies I broke Dragon Utopia 1. I got routed and ran to my opponent. I saw him entering the treasure zone, but there was nothing there and he surrendered.
GG, thanks for the game.

We started without restarts, the overview showed gloves at the respawn, 2 external gnoll dwellings and one of harpies. On the first day I took the Inferno town, built pits+2 external dwellings along the way, but in the swamp I didn't even place ducks (wood problems). On the second week I took Griffin Conservatory 1 and went to the center. There was another Griffin Conservatory 4, 2 treasure chests with 60 hip-hop goblins and 35 gr. orcs, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and at [131] with 5 angels, 28 pits and 19 ducks I break Dragon Utopia 1. I get wiped and run to the opponent. I see him entering the treasure zone, but there was nothing there and he surrenders.
GG thanks for the game.

I played very poorly. Didn't take [111], because I had enough money and the overview revealed a significant part of the opponent's respawn. Didn't take [112], because I found a Griffin Conservatory (2-4) and Crag got the log book. On [113] I realized everything was rather bleak, but I simply didn't risk taking [113] (though in this case I should have). On [117] I made the dumbest move, which largely decided the game. I changed all my resources to drop the Behemoths (the Castle was already built). Almost nothing was left for buying, and I ignominiously lost 1 out of 3 Behemoths at the start of the second week. Also on [117] I took the Dungeon village, but never found a single decent external dwelling for the rest of the game. And I didn't feel like portal-ing zombies or peasants ;) In short, mistake after mistake, a well-deserved loss. Thanks for the game!

and if you keep going until you reach the entrance, you'll spend another 3 days wandering through the desert.

and if you go inside, you'll end up on a different one-way path.

thanks for the game!

I gathered 70 Dragon Utopias, took 2 Dragon Utopia creatures, retrieved the Book of Earth from the graveyard, and then towards the end of the game, I got another 2 Hives and the Book of Air. Then my opponent appears in my field of vision for the first time during the entire game; I attack, and they also have 70 Dragon Utopias, although divided into 2 stacks, plus my stats are better – GG. Thank you for the game.

There's a suspicion that we have a "ghost" in our group. Our "booby" friend disappeared for several months, then reappeared and signed up for a tournament. Now he's gone again and doesn't respond on ICQ... Last activity: **01/26/2015 11:22** :(
