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

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

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

Please remove me from the tournament due to a business trip to another country. I simply don't have enough time.

We met on day 117 – my opponent bought his way out of it. I started rushing, but initially didn't make it for a week. After taking control of a bot castle, I went on a rampage. The roads are long, and there aren’t many objectives, but I built an Angel camp on turn two. Then I took three Dragon Utopias, but wasn't given control. Instead, I grabbed Pandora's Box, dominating the skies, and launched an attack. On day 144, my opponent reluctantly conceded; thanks to him for that. Building Town Portals while gathering resources was not very fun.
Thank you for the game.

We met on 117 - the opponent paid their way out. I rushed, but didn't quite make it before the first week ended; after taking the bot Castle, I went to grind mobs. The roads are long and there are few objects, but I set up angels on the second. Then I took three Dragon Utopia, but they didn't give control, though I grabbed a Pandora's box for all air units and went on the attack. On 144 the opponent surrendered, unwilling to play a long game, for which I thank him. Building TP while gathering resources was not fun.
Thanks for the game.

if the opponent hadn't won, I would have won

I dug up two prisons at the respawn; in one of them was Shiva with an expert Scout, totaling 8 heroes by week 1, day 14. While moving birds for an upgrade, the computer came out of a teleporter, killed Dad and two weaklings, and I was extremely upset. By week 1, day 17, the aggressor was caught and punished, their town was taken over, with towns 1-5 in the castle. In week 2, I loot banks, scout paths, and run into red flags. Luna goes on the attack but carelessly left the army on the Scout, while she herself was on two Angels. First, I chase Luna away, then destroy the main forces of the noob on a weak hero. A surrender follows.

Thanks for the game!

All games are played on save files, with 2-3 playthroughs each. I will do everything I can to finish them by the deadline.
P.S. I'm surprised myself, as I usually finish all group tournaments ahead of schedule.

I didn't play well; I gave away too many Elves, and the AI took advantage of them. I should have given away what I wasn't using. Then, there were some minor mistakes that cost me around 5000 gold, and in the final, I didn't build a Citadel when defending the castle. I could have also defended a Crown that gave +4 to Knowledge, but I didn't. Overall, it was a tough game despite the one-sided map and the difficult terrain. And I even got caught in a red rush.
Thanks for the game!

I played poorly; I gave away too many Elves, and the AI took advantage of them. I should have given away what I didn't need. Then, there were some minor things that cost me around 5000 gold, and in the final, when defending the castle, I didn't build a Citadel. I could have also defended the +4 Knowledge Crown, but I didn't. Overall, it was a tough game despite the one-sided map and the lack of roads everywhere. And I even got caught in a red rush.
Thanks for the game!

I lost a week because I chose the wrong direction. In the castle, only Psionics were available, and there was no Citadel. I had no money at all; only the external market saved me. On day 126, I saw my opponent and took his green castle. On day 127, my opponent retook the castle, captured a village along the way, and for some reason, settled there with a small army. On day 131, Kirya, with 6 birds, ambushed him there. Thanks for the game.

I dug up two dungeons on my starting location, in one of them there was Shiva with an experienced scout, totaling 8 heroes at level 114. While I was transporting birds for an upgrade, a computer player came out of the teleport, destroyed my papa and two weak units, and I was very upset. At level 117, the aggressor was caught and punished, his castle was taken, and castles 1-5 are in my possession. On the second map, I raided banks, scouted paths, and stumbled upon red flags. Luna attacks, but she didn't wisely leave her army on the scout and went herself on two angels. First, I drive Luna away, then I destroy the main forces of the enemy on a weak unit. Then, the enemy surrenders.

Thank you for the game!

I lost a won game against Luna with 112 mana, using expert sorcery, air, and bolt, even though I was at 155, but the final was easily won. Don't play Heroes when you're in a bad mood.
Thank you for the game, good luck to Peter in the tournament.

The game felt deja vu to the previous one

Jeditte showed up again, then at the start of week 3 he took a max-level Dragon Utopia with chaff thanks to a schooled Resurrection
then another 3 or 4 of them, of which only one turned out to be not max-level))) one he failed -- instead of a stack of Troglodytes he raised a singleton :confused: in the utopias, besides a bunch of stats, 2 books dropped -- red and blue, and a full-control setup came from 2 boxes, both lying in a patch just 5 cells in diameter :eek: :eek: :eek:
I'm building dragons, preparing to upgrade them, noob-Jeditte with 500 mana, Log, and Expert Earth is advancing Air to blast the opponent, but then the reds themselves sent out Dessa without artifacts, but with all his might
Shahtyor, skipping the next utopia, attacks
after round 1, only a pegasus and 2 angels survived from Dessa's army, and the opponent types GG, since he saw Shahtyor using Dimension Door -- the reds had no control at that point

thanks for the game :)

On the first day, I gathered boots and gloves from the carts. On the first attempt, I managed to place bears in the Fortress, defeat the Inferno company, and capture the Ifrit lair. However, the opponent conceded during the mage rush due to low morale. Thanks for the game!
