"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.

My opponent had a Titan since week 1, and I had a Solmyr with 5k experience and a box, I somehow managed to build and upgrade Giants, decided to run and attack with a Chain Dog dealing 400 damage, figured out where my opponent might be, and guessed correctly. The Chain Dog left no chances - first, it caught Tazar with 1 Angel and 1 Titan, and then 15 Wyverns. I offered a truce, but the next day, I attacked the Castle and won. Thanks for the game.

Wow!

In the first week, I was really struggling – the map was full of archers, and I didn't have a decent army. My opponent lost in the first round. Thanks for the game.

An incredibly difficult game was carried by the armored basin. The first Dragon Utopia only on the fourth, fly in the third tower at 211, Town Portal at 222, Dimension Door at 223.. The log of the boss and three assistants decided it, as well as a quickly snatched native purple comp. The opponent didn't really make contact throughout the game, collecting parameters, while I ate what was left. In the finale, 115 monarch wyverns were first blown up, then poisoned, but resurrection from archs and anti-magic provided serious competition to three hundred demons and the rest of the retinue.

Thanks for the game!

I started a normal layout with +1 speed, a beehive, an external dwelling of pegs, and 13 elves from the start. As it turned out later, the opponent had a chocolate.
I quickly took down a swampy opponent. Meefa got Earth and I switched to her.
On the first one, I built hydras in the fort, and at home pegs with an external dwelling.
On the second week, I took a mini utopia and went for cons. 2+2 angels, Meefa with expert Earth. I took a chest for 10 exp, and they also gave me Water.
I built a Mage Guild in the ramp. Ressurect, Meteor, and Implosion, but only 2 spell power and 40 mana.
Home utopia for 8 and with a shoal, at 134, I break a mini Dragon Utopia. The cap is level 5 (that happens too). Next, I go to the home Dragon Utopia, and it's a 2-stack of KЗ and plate armor :smile11:. It’s been a long time since I got full control from two small utopias :smile44:
Next, I go for the third utopia, again a mini with a captain’s cap:D. But my dolphin has been revealed and the neighboring respawn with my main drowned!!!:D
After that, there was simply no choice, and I had to use the feature with the Admiral’s hat, since there were also peppers.
At 142, I took the dolphin with spoons, brought it home via a chain, and Meefa started gaining moves. I decided to stop at the 313k mark :D
and there were still 45 minutes of movement in reserve :smile43:
I cast Fly and started systematically devouring the map, though I didn’t fully finish because I got exposed, and the opponent had to leave :o
After a brief negotiation, the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

An insanely difficult game was carried by the armor-bowl. The first Dragon Utopia only on the fourth, fly in the third tower at 211, Town Portal at 222, Dimension Door at 223.. It was decided by the log of the boss and three assistants, well and a quickly seized native purple computer. The opponent didn't really make contact throughout the game, collecting parameters, while I ate what was left. In the finale, 115 monarch wyverns were first blown up, then poisoned, but resurrection from archs and anti-magic provided serious competition to three hundred demons and the rest of the retinue.

Thanks for the game!
I chose the wrong direction on the first, didn't have time to capture the computer (demonization only started on the third) and the central Castle with roads went to the opp. And in classic genre fashion, out of 5 Dragon Utopia (1+1+1+5+2) there were no stats that would allow fighting the bowl... And in the end, Gunnar's lack of land decided it; Town Portal worked into the wrong castle. Overall, the game turned out interesting.
ГГ thanks for the game.

We played about a week ago, and I don't know why my opponent isn't writing a report. The map wasn't great, there were no restarts, no hiding spots, and no trees. As a result, I ended up with a Monk and a Stronghold. I was glad to have Gunnar. I defended against a Pandora with 50 boars using them and continued to fight. On day 135, some kind of bug happened, and either my opponent crashed or something else; the computer attacked my hero and had significantly better stats and an army. I decided to give up on the Utopia, especially since I wouldn't have been able to take it anyway, and I didn't have an army other than about 50 wyverns. So, I jumped into a one-way portal to the computer. On day 137, I found a Hat with level 5 and started running around, hoping for a better life. On the 4th week, my opponent has an Angel alliance + Elixir of Life + I suspect they have a Town Portal. I can't find anything good (especially the Utopia, where I immediately got 2 Water books), and on day 225, I get caught: FF Gunnar (25 24 24 26) 194 utkm, 8 angels + some minor units against Crag Hack with an Angel alliance, a Red Ball, and roughly the same amount of troops. Crag killed him in one turn. Thanks for the game.

thanks for the game

I found two Dungeons on the starting area, one of them had Shiva with an experience 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 father 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 now under my control. On the second map, I'm looting banks, scouting paths, and I stumble upon red flags. Luna is attacking, but she didn't wisely leave her army on the scout and instead used two angels. First, I drive Luna away, then I destroy the main forces of the enemy on a weak unit. Then, they surrender.

Thank you for the game!
