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

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..

Played decently, except for the block in the center. That's why I got stuck on the respawn point, and then I lost.
Thanks for the game!

I chose all resources, and it gave me 2 portals to snow, and the dirt turned out to be a respawn point for the opponent, who took out 2 of my units, so for the whole first week I was playing with 4 heroes, barely managed to get the bears into the Fortress, then, when I was building a chain, I misclicked on the lizard unit, and the chain didn't work out, so I decided not to drag it out. Thanks for the game!

The opponent merged with a cheaply bought Rampart on turn 112 and then wandered around looking for happiness until turn 211. Thank you.

On the first week, I revealed 3 Griffin Conservatories and Ivor leveled up Earth Magic. At the start of the second week, I'm collecting the Conservatories, though only 4 Angels total; the opponent is close, so I decide to go into the treasure zone but first capture another computer player, taking his town, though the breakdown is only a day and a half of travel away ). In the treasure zone, the only highlights were a maximum of 3 Dragon Fly Hives I think, and the suitable chests for control were only for experience. I found a Fly scroll, later built a guild for it which had Dimension Door. Then came complete bad luck; I found Dragon Utopias but they gave very poor rewards, and the guild wouldn't give me Town Portal either. I wandered through treasure zones but nothing was right; in terms of army I was already losing, saw no chances, but then Luna attacks with combat stats like mine and significant spell power, but I had a Cloak giving immunity to magic above level 2... and the opponent makes a big mistake by casting Slow prematurely; I cast Mass Haste and charge in over 2 rounds and buy back, trading 6 Wyverns for 40 and 6 Fire Birds. On my turn, I see my scout hero is standing next to an external tavern and a well is nearby; I recruit Ivor there, refill mana (there was almost none), use 2 Dimension Doors to reach one of the opponent's towns, and there's Labetha there; I thought she had 2 Angels (mistake — I didn't even check with Vision) and I attack; it turned out there were two stacks of 4 each. I can't kill them because the Cloak didn't remove the magic immunity, but my Angels get a morale proc and I kill Labetha. The game turned around and the advantage is now mine; I build another guild which has Town Portal, though the opponent realized this and also retrained it at my guild, but I already have better control of the map. In the end, I seized his towns and killed his good scout heroes. I was still wary of Gundula, so I first thinned his army with Armageddon (though I made another mistake — he managed to resurrect some units), and then finished him off.
Thanks for the game.

On the first week I scouted 3 Griffin Conservatories and Ivor leveled up Earth Magic. At the start of the second week I'm collecting the Conservatories, though only 4 angels total, the opponent is close, I decide to go into the treasure zone but first capture another computer player, I take his town, but the breakdown is only a day and a half of travel away ). In the treasure zone, the only thing that pleased me was a maximum of 3 Dragon Fly Hives I think, suitable chests for control were only for experience. Found a scroll of Fly, later built a guild for it where there was Dimension Door. And then total bad luck, I found Dragon Utopias but they gave very poor loot, Town Portal also wasn't given in the guild, I roamed through treasure zones but nothing was right, I was already losing in army strength, saw no chances, but then Luna attacks with battle stats similar to mine and significant spell power, but I have a Cloak that protects against spells above level 2... and the opponent makes a big mistake by casting Slow prematurely, I cast Mass Haste and within 2 rounds I charge in and buy back, trading 6 Wyverns for 40 and 6 Firebirds. On my turn I see that my scout hero is standing near an external tavern and not far from a well, I buy back Ivor there, replenish mana, which was almost empty, through 2 Dimension Doors I reach one of the opponent's towns, and there is Labetha there, I thought it was on 2 angels (I was wrong, didn't even check with Vision), and I attack, there turned out to be two stacks of 4, I can't kill because the Cloak didn't remove magic resistance, but morale triggers for my angels and I kill Labetha. The game turned around and the advantage is mine, I build another guild where there is Town Portal, the opponent realized this and retrained it at my place too, but I already control the map better. In the end I captured his towns and killed good scout heroes. Still feared Gundula, so I first thinned him out with Armageddon (though I made another mistake, he managed to resurrect some), and then finished him off.
Thanks for the game.

4 guilds, 2 Dragon Utopias, 3 treasure zones and nowhere is Town Portal! When I found it at the opponent's, it was already too late. The opponent did everything skillfully, leaving no chances + Morale and Luck were on his side at the right moments :(
Thanks for the game.

I took 2 restarts, and didn't spend the last one. Because I at least saw a hut with trees and a simple passage to one zone.
On day 112, I hit a block near my town (I knew it was a town because a Dragon Utopia was visible further ahead) — 99 huts for 2 scrolls, but there's a Pandora's Box for Griffin Conservatory + 3 external dwellings of demons; I upgraded them to level 1 and fought with them. The ore mine was blocked. I head up from the spawn and open the scout view — 2 monoliths and a metro. One monolith is completely blocked by 20-49 Griffin Roosts; in the other, I kill an opponent's hero after taking an unpleasant roundabout path along a crooked road and camp near the third metro — at its exit stand Griffin Minotaurs for a Pandora's Box up to level 49 (center town) — the nearest connection to the opponent. I built a Wyvern in my citadel; there's almost nothing to buy. I found gloves in a cart with Logue; no one's there. Taz experted Attack as his second skill.
On day 122, I ran to the center Castle town, took a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, went lower — there were several blocks I decided not to break through. It turned out to be the right call; I didn't dig myself a passage to the opponent. Nearby I found 2 Griffin Conservatories and, a bit further off, another Dragon Fly Hive, plus a fork leading to opponents 6 and 8 — and the scout view spots a devil dwelling and a treasure zone with a Dragon Utopia. On days 126-127, I gathered everything through maneuvers and ended up with 4 Angels and 25 Wyverns; Taz still had a turn left and decided to level up — he broke through the Minotaurs for the Pandora's Box, which had all the air (Wisdow was already learned). On day 131, I decided to return to the huts and start with that Dragon Utopia, then rush into the treasure zone. In my town, the Dragon Utopia was empty, but there's a library and gold. All this allowed me to upgrade Wyverns to 28 and return to the treasure zone very quickly; Taz buys himself out at the Castle town and gets on the speed boost. The scout heroes all got Logue — except for the folder; they're all scouting around. Kalh with expert Logue and scouting helped a lot. In the Dragon Utopia I saw, it gives +10 All Sword, Necklace, and Sandals. I go a bit further — there's another Dragon Utopia with a Teapot and КЗ plus a Book of Water. I took another Griffin Conservatory — a two-shot — and split back home. I upgrade everything and make plans to seize the central town, where Goshancik rules with a Skeleton Cleaver, 49 ducks (Wyverns), a group of Angels and the brotherhood, but all his stats are around 10, while mine are about 30+ with Shackles and Full Control. And on the very next turn, Gosha makes a blunder, though I would have attacked anyway and dismantled that whole squad without much trouble.
Thanks for the game.
Throughout the entire match, I took only 3 Dragon Fly Hives in total for 20 Wyverns and didn't lose a single one all game. Tazar is my favorite hero.

Had money problems early,had to fight shooters with the small army i had.I didnt see hives and only 1 cons,so i was hoping to farm skeletons.Early week 2 i lost 2 nagas so that slowed me down a bit.126 first cons,meanwhile i built up my mage guild in tower.Was hoping for DD or fly,got TP and fly.Early w3 i entered treasure zone,took 2 topes,but was still struggling with speed (no logistics,no boots/stables,nothing).Tazar had full speed :) After mana was gone,had to TP back and continue clearing tres zone.Late w3 Opp took my main castle but i took it back 137.I took 5 more topes and some hives,managed to get bit better stats than taz,but was way behind in army and speed.Finally after some running around he catches me at 147 and :smile10:

on the first, I captured my computer's Necropolis, on the second, the opponent's computer also matched exactly at 127 and placed birds in the Citadel, on my own first, birds spawned in the Fort, resulting in 12 birds and about 50 Air Elementals by 131 (there were 2 external dwellings on my respawn, but I also lost quite a few), 10 Psychics, and some miscellaneous units
very luckily cut off the income at the portal for the Sharpshooter, and he attacks on 132
the Sharpshooter has high stats, but the lack of mass magic and the removal of my Blind spell decided the outcome, the opponent retreats
I run towards his capital but don't make it, and the Sharpshooter attacks again and retreats again, I have 3 birds left, I buy Eyes and Medusas in the dungeon, on the next turn the opponent writes gg

We each spent two rests with the opp. The spawn was mediocre.
On the first week I built upgrades in the Citadel. A Dragon Fly Hive was lurking in the adjacent zone, but it was guarded by 10-19 bears with an artifact:( on turn 115 I reached my ally's empty town, only to have Ufretin with Power of the Dragon emerge from the depths, who was taken out by Labetta with Stone Skin and Grand Elves, and a day later Clancy came with a single Dwarf :D
Towards the end of the week, Boots and a Dragon Fly Hive appeared in the corner of my spawn. I decided to split Kirr and go for them on turn 121.
On turn 122 the opp surrendered.

Thanks for the game and your time.

on the first [map] I captured my AI necromancer, on the second the opponent's AI also joined exactly at 127 and placed birds in the citadel; on my own [map], birds were in the fort on the first. As a result, at 131 we have 12 birds and about 50 air elementals (there were 2 external dwellings of them on my respawn, but I also farmed quite a bit), 10 psychs and some others
very luckily cut off the miner's growth in the portal and he attacks at 132
the miner's stats are high, but the lack of mass magic and the removal of my blindness decided it; the opponent retreats
I run to his capital but don't make it, and again the miner attacks and again retreats; I have 3 birds left, buy eyes and medusas in the dungeon, on the next turn the opponent writes гг
thx for the game
Very lucky layout, 2 minotaur external dwellings, level 1 Griffin Conservatory, stable. Took both external dwellings, placed minotaurs. Then I run to the center, take the Castle; the center isn't particularly rich, but there is a sword +2 +2, shield +3, necklace +3 +3, armor +3 sp; I take all of this, double my mana and run to another center. There is a level 3 Griffin Conservatory, I don't have time to bring the growth, Müllich blocks the road; I check him, the army isn't very large, plus my parameters are higher and I have expert attack and defense. I attack, but there is mass slow and blindness, and I have nothing to remove it with((. In the end, a clash of forces, he killed a decent amount of my army, but had nothing left himself. I retreat; I rushed and exchanged all resources, could have built a guild, maybe they would've given lightning, in the end гг.
Thank you for the game!
