The show tournament by twaryna is still ongoing, and it's already clear that the version has turned out to be quite playable. Some minor edits are still possible, but overall, the gameplay will not change in the foreseeable future.

Therefore, we are starting an open HotA tournament.

Game information and download links are here - http://vk.com/h3hota.

Game version: HotA 1.3.8 + HDmode.

Template: chosen by lot from Jebus, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6lm10a.

Castles: all games are played in the Wharf vs Wharf format; one player chooses the color, and the other player chooses the starting hero first.

Timer - standard for ХВ rules, but battle time is 2 minutes (with unfamiliar troops, more thinking is required during combat).
Jebus - 24+8:30+2
Diamond - 19+8+2
Mini-Nostalgia - 19+8+2
8mm6a - 21+8+2
6lm10a - 21+8+2

Roads - fast for Jebus and medium for other templates.

Restarts - 3 days in total (+objective restarts due to blocks, bugs, or encounters).

Red-rush is allowed.

Other rules correspond to the HotA show tournament rules

Tournament format - Swiss system with elimination after 2 losses. Each round is played as a best-of-one (bo1). Time per round - 3 weeks.

Rules may be clarified later, as some nuances might have been missed the first time. In case of a disputed or doubtful situation, it is recommended to contact the judge immediately. That is, do not abuse discovered bugs.

Players have the right to agree on any changes in the rules except for the game version.

Each participant must pass qualification - play at least one full online game in HotA. This is to ensure that you have installed the software correctly and understand the game rules. Players who participated in the show tournament or have game reports for HotA in the season are exempt from qualification.

Register here, specifying ICQ/Skype. Start as soon as a quorum is reached.

UPDATE

Regarding the tournament start dates - 3 weeks are given for registration and qualification, meaning the draw for the 1st round will be on 24.04.2015

Players may independently agree on tournament games ahead of the bracket. For this, players must have an equal number of wins/losses. The fact of agreement should be reported to me before the start of the game via a forum post or ICQ message. Independent games that were not reported before the draw of the corresponding round are considered null and void.

Anyone who wants to start already can find an opponent for the 1st round themselves and play against them. Early games may be counted as qualification if bo3 (best-of-3) is played.

Final:

Maretti vs YaR

To win the tournament, Maretti only needs to win once, while YaR must win twice.

UPDATE

Since the starting confusion has ended, we will play more orderly from the 2nd round onwards.

1) Players who do not meet the round deadline (regardless of whose fault), will play in the next round with a debuff - their opponent may choose both the color and the hero.

Exceptions are possible at the discretion of the organizer. For example, if players reported difficulties in advance (within one week from the start of the round).

Therefore, I recommend not waiting until the last day, but agreeing and starting to play immediately.

2) Private messages from the organizer should be answered within 3 days. The same applies to public messages with any requests. Lack of reaction is interpreted against the player.

For example, if in response to a private message "How is the round 2 game going?", one of the players replied (regardless of what), and the second remained silent, then in the absence of a result, a technical victory will be awarded to the first.

3) If a player withdraws from the tournament or is disqualified, their slot is passed in order of queue to players who have already been eliminated from the tournament. Priority is given to those who progressed further, and if they reached the same distance - to whoever played earlier.

Therefore, I recommend agreeing and playing subsequent rounds before their official start.

There are 3 days left until the end of the 1st round.

They started with Toga in the qualifying round (he also passed the qualification).
They played for almost 2 weeks, and today they intended to continue:smile10:

very long roads, to the center a block from the horde of cyclops in the underground, in the corner a horde of energy elementals, but a Dragon Utopia is visible behind them
was hanging around in my zone and the adjacent zone, when I ventured into the Dragon Utopia, there was no pronounced strike stack, and also I forgot to pass the Shield scroll to Expert Earth :confused:
as a result, in the Dragon Utopia (three stacks) the meat from the Cove turned out to be too weak for tanking, and also, to make matters worse for the Conflux, minus morale -- I had to go in a 2nd time with ducks and cyclopes
but for the bag I got Wings and a Crown 5-х!
I'm clearing all the zephyrs in the field of vision, taking over the Stronghold and Inferno computers, chasing Kyrre from the treasure zone with a pack of angels (there's a red orb there, he almost didn't kill anyone, only helped me get back home)))
I build Town Portal dwellings, unite the army, stats and money from the guild are mine, but there are no viewings yet to take the blue main for sure
simultaneously leveling up Eovacius, who gets along with all elements, he has expert Air -- that's dangerous! :) also bought Air for the main in a Conflux town, took 2 Dragon Utopias there -- gave decent stats! at night, Eovacius dies in a town -- couldn't handle the computer without mana, which has almost a month's worth of necromancy power :o
then we postponed, and immediately I blundered: I dig up Eovacius and for some reason think he will reach the Cove of the blues with 2 Dimension Doors, but, alas, the movement range was apparently fixed in the HotA patch
we are attacked as expected -- with Archangels! they slice off 2 thirds of the 75 cyclopes and 4 hydras, I leave Kyrre with 6 archangels, which they tried to resurrect, and I run away without mana
I buy myself out to Ilor, who also already has 2 jumps, and run to upgrade my angels with him, Kyrre is standing near the Castle, but the main doesn't have enough moves to attack -- I attack with the dug-up Anabel, we have +1 to speed, but there's an immediate Fortification from Tactics there
on the next turn, Kyrre with 2 single birds and 3 stacks of archangels stands in the zone of vision -- I start from Inferno, having bought 9 Efreet Sultans
I was thinking about how to kill right away (if the Sword of Hellfire isn't equipped, of course)) I had to disband the shooter stack, equipped +25% to resistance
no orb, hooray! 4 archangels remove a bird, another 4 the next, the last archangel casts Armageddon -- everything of Kyrre's dies, gg

thanks for the game :)

as a result, in the three-tier Dragon Utopia, the port's meat turned out to be too weak for the feast, and also, due to the HOTA mechanics, minus morale -- I had to go in a second time with ducks and cyclops
but for the bag I got wings and a level 5 colossus!
I'm clearing all the zephyrs in the field of view, take the computers Stronghold and Inferno, chase Kyrre with a pack of angels into the treasure zone (there's a red orb, didn't kill almost anyone, only helped get back home)))
I build Town Portal structures, merge the army, by guild stats and power are mine, but no views yet to secure the blue main for sure
in parallel, I level Eovacius, who gets all the elements, he expertised air -- there's a red alert! :) I also bought air for the main in a Conflux village, took 2 Dragon Utopias there -- gave decent stats! at night Eovacius dies in the village -- couldn't beat the almost monthly necro-powered computer without mana :o
then we postponed, and immediately I blundered: I dig up Eovacius and for some reason think he'll make it with 2 Dimension Door casts to the blue port, but alas, the movement penalty, it seems, was fixed in HOTA
we are predictably attacked -- with archangels! they cut down 2 thirds of the 75 cyclops and 4 serpents, I leave Kyrre 6 archangels, which were being resurrected, and escape without mana
I rebuy to Illor, who also has 2 jumps now, and run to upgrade his angels, Kyrre is standing next to the castle, but the main has no movement left to attack -- I attack with the resurrected Anabel, we have +1 speed, but there's an immediate buyback on tactics
next turn Kyrre with 2 single birds and 3 stacks of archangels stands in the field of view -- I start from Inferno, having bought 9 sultans
was thinking how to kill immediately (if the Sword of Hellfire isn't worn, of course)) had to dispel the shooter stack, equipped +25% resistance
no orb, hurray! 4 archangels reduce one bird, another 4 the next, the last archangels casts Armageddon -- everything of Kyrre's dies, gg

thanks for the game :)

It happened, not my best game, and I was locked at home with 30+ gorgons, and due to a bug the second exit from the spawn didn't generate. Thx for the game.

Change in the schedule: instead of Blitz - Bison, Blitz - Simba will be played.

I'm extending the deadline, but please try not to delay.

After all the restarts, it dealt a rather unpleasant layout — a block of Efreeti by the hive, which blocked half of my respawn and all roads except the one to the AI Castle + a block of BDs already behind the Efreeti, blocking the road to the Stronghold. There was, however, some compensation: two level 2 Conservatories. I took the Castle, broke through the Conservatories, the zephyr, and the Efreeti, then took the Inferno — from there was a convenient and short road to the local treasure zone, where TP was found, quest artifacts along the way, a couple of workshops and hives. Alas, Gunnar unexpectedly didn't get Earth for a long time. I headed to the Castle treasure zone; in the Dragon Utopia they gave me the kettle and a level 5 hat, and then Earth finally arrived. Without much hurry, I went through the center to the opponent; after the final battle in the Tower castle (where I made quite a few mistakes toward morning), gg followed. Thanks for the game!

After all restarts I had a pretty unlucky disposition: Efreeti, blocking the way to half of my zone and all the roads to AI, except Castle + Black Dragons (behind the first one), blocking the way to Stronghold. There was some kind of compensation too: two Conservatory, both for 2 angels. Then I captured the Castle, broke the Conservatories and Wolf Raider's Picket, captured the Inferno and found the short way to local treasury — that's where I found TP, two quest arifacts and some Experimental Shops / Hives. But unfortunately, Gunnar didn't get Earth for a while. Then I reached Castle treasury and found Helm +6 all, Spellbinder's Hat and finally got Earth. Then, without much hurry, I went to the opponent through the center. FB in Tower castle (where I've done a lot of almost fatal mistakes) followed by gg. Thanks for the game!

In the first week, I built the psychos in the Castle, also took two Dragon Fly Hives for 12 ducks and one Zephyr for 8 cyclopes, plus I took one external dwelling of psychos with Luna. In the second week, I took on respawn: two Griffin Conservatories for 4 angels, a Zephyr for 6 cyclopes, another external dwelling of psychos, and also a Dragon Utopia (a pair) for 125 (no losses). On day 126 (late), I went to the center. There I took a chest for experience, Dragon Fly Hives (total ducks became 52), and a single Dragon Utopia. Then I sat down to replenish mana. On day 132, an opponent with a smaller army and lower stats appears. I attack him with Shackles of War, he surrenders. GG! Thanks for the game!

After all restarts, it dealt a not-so-pleasant layout — a block of Efreeti by the hive, which closed off half of my respawn and all roads except for the road to the AI Castle + a block of BDs already behind the Efreeti, closing the road to the Stronghold. There was, however, some compensation: two level 2 cons. I took the Castle, broke through the cons, the zephyr, and the Efreeti, then took the Inferno — from there was a convenient and short road to the local treasure zone, where TP was found, quest artifacts along the way, a couple of workshops and hives.

I can confirm. My starting zone was satisfactory enough with easy access to the neighbouring computers and with some good opportunities for early development expect for maybe no low level cons. A early Nix dwelling + two portals of summoning resulted in good Nix growth throughout the game. Took some cons and went to the first treasure zone where I found Air book. Tower GM provided TP soon afterwards. I was behind on momentum most of the game due to some poor planning earlier on, and so I wanted to avoid Blue until I could eventually catch up. When Blue finally went to my territory I had surpassed him in raw army strength, however, Blue was still far ahead in most other aspects (overall stats + artefacts). The FB was still close, but Blue eventually secured the victory and I called 'gg'.

Thanks for playing !

On the first week, I built psychos in the castle, also took two hives for 12 ducks and one zephyr for 8 cyclopes, also took one external dwelling of psychos with Luna. On the second week, I took from respawn: two cons for 4 angels, a zephyr for 6 cyclopes, another external dwelling of psychos, and a Dragon Utopia duet for 125 (without losses). On day 126 (late), I went to the center. Took a box for experience there, hives (total ducks became 52), a single Dragon Utopia. Then I sat down to replenish mana. On day 132, the opponent shows up with a smaller army and lower stats. I attack him with shackles, he surrenders. GG! Thanks for the game!

Cleared the respawn, built GM5 for wisdom on day 117 :). 4 days to run to GO, GO 90 cyclopes, army-wise 14 ducks and 20 cyclopes :)) Took a Dragon Utopia via summoning earth elementals, got a tome of fire. Used it to break through the cyclopes (armageddon on singles with summoning welders), but while running back and forth, I lost quite a bit of time, there was physically no way to haul that much meat out.

p.s. I ask the developers to listen to the opinion, the nerf of the dungeon (especially against the backdrop of buffs to other castles) is very significant. I strongly ask and recommend making the starting stacks 25-35, because otherwise we get 100-105 troglodytes from the start.

Currently, on average from the start, there are 114 troglodytes + guaranteed harpies and eyes from the second hero.

For comparison - in SoD with 2 stacks for the Miner (the most common situation), there are on average 119 troglodytes, but without the guarantee of harpies/eyes.

The numbers were selected specifically to maintain the average army.

For comparison - in VT the Miner has 20-25 troglodytes in stacks, and nobody complains (they complained when it was 15-25).

Poor little Dungeon, they keep picking on it — it's just not used to having such a weak starting army, like everyone else :D
