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

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..

Thanks for the game!

I didn't find anything interesting in the two threads, I didn't see any drowns at all, and Galtran was already dominating with control and archers. Thanks for the game.

Played well, except for the one-sided match. Went with a Striker on the off-road map, encountered a Necropolis player, and by the second turn, I had gathered 400 bones. I noticed the red player and managed to capture Craig in the village at the beginning of the third turn. GG.
Thank you for the game.

Palach HP

Took 2 resets, and didn't bother spending the last one. Since I saw at least a hut with wood, and a simple passage into one zone.
On turn 112, I hit a blockade near my own town (realized it was a town because a Dragon Utopia was visible further ahead) with 99 dwellings for 2 scrolls, but there is a Pandora's Box for 3 genies + 3 external dwellings of devils that I colored on turn 1 and fought with them. The stone mine is blocked. I go up from the spawn and open a lookout point, 2 monoliths and a subway. One monolith is completely blocked by 20-49 gr hags, in the other I kill the AI after taking a not-so-pleasant detour along a curved road and camp near the third subway; at its exit stand gr minotaurs for a Pandora's Box up to 49 (center town) — the nearest contact with the opponent. I built a Wyvern in the Citadel, almost nothing to buy. Found gloves in a cart; no one has Log. I Expertized the second skill: Offense.
On turn 122, I ran to the center Castle town, took a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, went lower. There were several blocks there that I didn't dare break through. Turned out to be the right call — I didn't dig myself a passage to the opponent. Found nearby 2 Griffin Conservatories and, a bit further, another Dragon Fly Hive and a fork path to AI 6 and AI 8 plus a lookout spots a Devil dwelling and a treasure zone with a Dragon Utopia. On turns 126-127, through maneuvers I collected everything and got 4 Angels and 25 Wyverns. Taz had a turn left and decided to level up; he broke through the Minotaurs for a Pandora's Box — all air there (Wisdom was already skilled). On turn 131, I decided to return to the dwellings and start with that Dragon Utopia, then rush into the treasure zone. In my town — empty Dragon Utopia + there's a library and money. All this allows me to upgrade the Wyverns to 28 and very quickly return to the treasure zone. Taz buys back in the Castle town and gets on the speed run. Scout heroes got Log — absolutely all of them except the main one are scouting. Kalkh with Expert Log and scouting helped a lot. In the Dragon Utopia I saw, they give +10 All sword, necklace, and sandals. I go a bit further — there's another Dragon Utopia with a Teapot and КЗ + Book of Water. I take another double Conservatory and head back home. I upgrade everything and make plans to seize the central town, where Goshanych reigns with Skeleton Cutthroats up to 49 ducks with a group of Angels and brethren, but his stats are all around 10, while I have around 30+ Shackles and full control. And then on the very next turn, Gosha exposes himself, though I would have attacked anyway and unraveled that entire retinue without much trouble.
Thanks for the game.
In the entire match, I only took 3 Dragon Fly Hives for a total of 20 Wyverns and didn't lose a single one all game. Tazar is my favorite hero.

Confirmed. A very lively start with Galtran, lots of gold, and a Necro AI with a booster. Let down by the too long and only road to the center, where Tazar got there first. Went to my corner zone — there's a swamp and nothing tasty. On the 3rd, I entered my treasure zone — there's 1 Dragon Fly Hive. Built 2 level-5 towers, no control given. Had to go on foot through territory scouted by the opponent. During that time, Tazar got fattened up. Thanks for the game.

A pretty good spawn, one Necropolis nearby (2-4). The roads are also quite decent. On week 1, I killed an AI Conflux. At Flax's spawn point, there are 2 external dwellings of Air Elementals, 2 Necropolises, a Library, and a Dragon Fly Hive + lots of gold. By day 121, I had 60+ Air Elementals, plus a stack of Troglodytes. I don't remember exactly, but around the middle of week 2, with Mass Slow, I took down a max-level Necropolis, then a couple more Necropolises, and finally a stack of Angels. Shakhti leveled up well + I built a Grail building (GM5) on week 2, since the resources were fine — Town Portal and Dimension Door were given there. I learned Wisdom and, after picking up 3 more Dragon Fly Hives and Boots, ran to the 2 explored Dragon Utopias, where I was given: a Water Book, a Sword of Hellfire (KSh), a +10 SP armor, a Gladius, a +5 defense item, a Resistance Necklace, a +2/+2 Cloak (which I already had), and a +5 defense shield. On week 4, the opponent showed up; using the Level 5 Cap (from the home Dragon Utopia, by the way :D), they left their army with a scout hero and jumped not far away. I naturally attacked the very next turn — they didn't have enough gold for a buyout, plus the scout hero had stats of 2 2 4 3, while I had 26 14 20 9 :D and our army power was almost equal, with a slight edge in my favor. Thanks for the game! :D :D

Dealt quite a bit, one Conservatory not far (2-4). And along the roads it's very decent. On week 1 I killed the Conflux AI. At the Conflux respawn: 2 external dwellings of Air Elementals, 2 Conservatories, a Library, and a Dragon Fly Hive + lots of gold. On day 121 I had 60+ Air Elementals, plus a stack of Troglodytes. I don't remember exactly, in the middle of week 2 with Mass Slow I breached the max Conservatory, then a couple more Conservatories and then a stack of Angels. Gundula leveled up normally + built GM5 on week 2, since resources were fine — Town Portal and Dimension Door were given there. I learned Wisdom and after picking up 3 more Dragon Fly Hives and the Boots, I ran to 2 scouted Dragon Utopias and they gave me: Water Book, Sword of Swiftness, +10 SP Armor, Gladius, +5 Defense, Resist Ring, Cloak +2/+2 (which I already had) and +5 Defense Shield. On week 4 the opponent showed up, using the 5th level Cap (by the way from the home Dragon Utopia :D ) leaving the army on a scout hero — jumped not far away. I of course attacked the next turn — he had no gold to buy back + the scout hero had stats 2 2 4 3, and I had 26 14 20 9 :D and about the same power, slight advantage in my favor. Thanks for the game! :D :D

Very poorly played an excellent setup, where on the respawn there was an external dwelling of Angels, a max Griffin Conservatory and a level-2 Dragon Utopia with a 5th level Spellbinder's Hat and a +4 all stats Shield. Ran around the respawn for a long time, then wasted more than a week on a dead-end direction, ended up with zero gold, so I didn't even have enough for splits. In short, it just didn't work out)

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game.

it was an interesting game. It started off great - Brogh and Taz with 3 stacks, Solmyr also with 3, a nest of Lizards right nearby. Then it got even better - a nest of Flies, Wasps, 4 Gnolls, a Dragon Fly Hive with Nagas 10-19 and a shield +4, 2 Gnome Mines, a Medusa ground. A Dragon Utopia at home and several Crypts. The only thing is the road to the center is through one-way portals and sand. On day 117 I camped at the max Gnome Mine - didn't risk it. On day 121 Gnome Mine, Medusa ground, and I break through 19 Nagas with a hero stack, go into the Dragon Fly Hive - it's max, I leave all my Wyverns there, which get minused immediately, along with some Wasps and Gnolls. Then I take a Tower Boat, in the central zone on the sand there's another Dragon Fly Hive, in my home corner there's another one, and there's also a Library and a Dragon Utopia. I clear the first Dragon Utopia on days 124-125. By week 2 I also managed to gather the one at home. On week 3 I scout a one-way portal - there's a respawn info with 2 Dragon Utopias. Just before the last one I take a Pandora's Box for all the Air spells and get the Book of Air in the Dragon Utopia, but out of 5 Dragon Utopias I never found anything for Earth. At the end of week 3, the Blue player arrives and after several unsuccessful attempts using Dimension Door, they first take my Tower Boat from me, then my main town. From the lookout tower, built in the Tower Boat, a Dragon Utopia was visible on a neighboring tile. I want to take it since the Shaman is also targeting it. I take it - it gives nothing useful, but I leave myself exposed. Naturally I get attacked - thanks to turn 1, an immediate implosion and from 40+ Monarchs only 17 remain, I cast Anti-Magic on them and close in. In round 2, the opponent casts Anti-Magic on 40 Grandmaster Cats (I forgot to mention the opponent had a double with a nest of Cats). The Serpents remove the Anti-Magic from them and I cast Armageddon for 2k. 17 Cats remain, which hit the Monarchs and paralyze them. Over 3 rounds, the opponent resurrects 6 of their Archangels and all the Cats with Resurrection. Another Armageddon and I buy back with 13 Monarchs. The Shaman sits in my main town and gives the Cats to a lowbie. Next turn I buy back, transfer everything to a slightly less leveled-up Taz, who first takes back the main town and kills Shakti with a Death Wave, and then Brogh attacks with Shackles on the remaining Cats on the lowbie.

Thanks for the game!
