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

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..

Great start on 111, I see 3 Griffin Conservatories and Galtran arrives, archers are standing but the army is a bit small — 14 crossbowmen and 40 pikemen. By that time the opponent had taken 2 ress. I decided not to leave the respawn in the first week but to clear it, and I found a Dragon Utopia and another Dragon Fly Hive. On 122 I see the opponent breaking through the passage, taking a Griffin Conservatory on the neighboring respawn. On my 122 I take 3 Griffin Conservatories and prepare for an attack. I see the opponent entering the Dungeon with Gunnar, and at full speed I run over and cut off all the troops. I immediately decide to push the opponent, I take the castles, but the opponent hid in the corner treasure and recuperated pretty well there, I had to retreat and take the Dragon Utopia on the respawn on 132, where I got the entire level 5, which decided a lot.
Thank you for the game!!!

I'll describe how it actually was: the opponent miraculously catches my army on a witch (while not seeing the stats, having at that time 1 castle he considers himself stronger, although I entered his zone). He kills my entire force on 125 — about 300 skeletons, angel, 6 Wyverns, 2 bears, and fodder; he himself also has about 300 skeletons, 6 angels, 5-6 champions, 20-30 archers, and miscellaneous. On 126 I have in my pool Charneya and 20 dogs. On 133 I already have a taken Utopia three — 385 skeletons, 5 angels. On 135 taken Utopia one and the same amount of army.. but on 135-136, the opponent decides to take his Utopia one — with the Hood, right :D... Seeing Dimension Door I run away. Throughout the game I had more skeletons, but on 144 I think, the opponent decides to build the Mage Guild to level 4 in the most unsafe castle — Conflux green computer (because there the computer built up to Mage Guild 2 apparently, so easier! :D), and of course there's Town Portal.. on 21++ I surrender with 10 angels and 1400 skeletons
Thank you for the game

Spent two 111's on one-wayers. Got Inferno on swamp, turned out to be a big respawn and seemed like a decent road, decided to play it. On the first, Imps in the castle, took a Griffin Conservatory 1 and a couple scouted with a Dragon Utopia, Gervulf in folders + there's Fiona with Expert Earth. On the downside, slightly blocked and everything is very far from each other. On the second, checked the Dragon Utopia, scouted a few Dragon Fly Hives, took 3 Griffin Conservatories 2+1+1. Then in the solo Dragon Utopia found a Helm, and a turn later a Pandora's Box dropped all of level 4. On the third, took another couple of minimal Dragon Utopias and at the start of week 4, shut down the incoming opponent visiting with Shackles.

The surrender was significant — Gurny, 2 bird niches and a lot of money. It's a pity the roads turned out poorly — one into a corner, the second into a monolith blocking the exit. But while Gurny was collecting bird niches, Shiva broke through off-road and took the Castle from the computer on 122.
On the second map, I wandered around the center, grabbed a few hives and towns, and scouted several utops. On the third, I took 3 pieces, including a maxi — it gave me plenty of stats, but consumed all power except for ducks. On 136, I reclaimed the DD scroll and started building the MG for that purpose, but the opponent surrendered due to a lack of prospects.

It was a decent start - Gurnie, 2 bird niches and lots of money. Pity the roads turned out poorly - one into a corner, the second into a monolith exit. But while Gurnie was collecting bird niches, Shiva pushed through the off-road and took the Castle from the computer at 122.
On the second game I hung around the center, grabbed a few hives, towns and scouted several utops. On the third I took 3 pieces, including the maxi - got plenty of stats, but they ate up all the power except for ducks. At 136 I snatched a DD scroll and started building a MG for that purpose, but the opponent surrendered due to lack of prospects.

It happened. We tested everything more than enough. The start was bad, but there was no choice, plus there was a fat Galtran; I thought I'd somehow break through, but in one direction was a one-way (exit) and in the other I hit a block of 20-49 liches. Scouted houses, took the conu 3 with loss of half the skeletons at 121, 3 days of running and another one-way, barely reached the computer, but the opponent arrived immediately... everything was cleared along the way, and surrounded by one-ways.) thx for the game.

The map was fun, and it pitted a two-sided player against someone who jumped around on all four sides, with constant skirmishes that made things increasingly difficult from the second week onwards. I lost my cities twice, and eventually I was defeated:o
Thank you for the game!

I want to remind players that there are 5 days left until the end of the round, until May 22, 2015, inclusive. On May 23, the pair that has not played their game will be given a loss, as I haven't heard of any connection issues during the month. P.S. except for the "watermelon seed duel".

My opponent scheduled the game for this Friday, but couldn't make it. He rescheduled it for Monday next week. Otherwise, there are no connection issues; Hamachi works fine. But my TV broke!

For the first week, I went for the Dragon Utopia, but there are 2 Griffin Conservatories near the Castle, another one further down the road, and 2 on the adjacent territory. For the second week, thanks to Luna, I gathered all the Griffin Conservatories, totaling 13 Angels. I took the local Dragon Utopia #1 for Boots of Resistance. I leveled Luna and, in parallel, Alkin into the lategame, who leveled up terribly poorly; Luna didn't shine either, all into magic. For the third week, I cleared a couple more Dragon Utopias for the Book of Fire, parameters, Wings, and the Orb of Vulnerability. In the middle of the third week, I was 1 tile short of reaching all of the opponent's army with Tanto on a horse with artifacts. Moner attacked on his turn, I had to cast Armageddon and buy him back. Then came a prolonged lategame. There was a Crag Hack with Logistics whom I was taking into the lategame, but I buried him with Luna( . All the other heroes had no speed; there were no Stables, Boots of Haste, or Cape of Velocity. I killed the native computer at the beginning of the second month. I took an external dwelling of Hydras in the back of the respawn. A game of cat and mouse. There is КЗ and Dimension Door + Wings; I caught Moner on 7+1+1+1 Angels; I was 100 damage short of killing him with Armageddon. Meanwhile, the opponent is showing simply nuclear stats; all hope is on magic, although the magic stats are nuclear too. I have the Orb of Vulnerability and the Cloak of the Undead King. I finally obtained Boots of Haste + Cape of Velocity towards the end and Logistics at the University. In parallel, I ran Alkin around the upgrading structures. It all ended on 236: the opponent decided to take a Fireball in the field with 17 Beholders, 17 Angels, 50 unupgraded Harpies, 25 Gargoyles, with stats around 47-30, +1 Speed, Shackles of War. I had lower stats: 32-28, +4 Speed, Orb of Vulnerability, 17 Hydras, 50 Centaurs, 50 Minotaurs, 60 Harpies, 30 Gargoyles, 14 Angels, 16 Nagas. The Fireball didn't work out; Moner accidentally attacked only with Angels under Shackles of War.
And who knows who would have won; I had an advantage in army power and speed, while he had higher stats.
P.S. Orange survived until the end of the game with my redeemed Crag Hack, Beholder Mites, and Dimension Door))
Thanks for the game!

On the 1st week block for Dragon Utopia, but there are 2 Griffin Conservatories near the Castle, another one further down the road, and 2 on the adjacent territory; on the 2nd week, thanks to Luna, I collected all the Griffin Conservatories for a total of 13 Angels, took the home Dragon Utopia for Boots of Resistance, leveled Luna and simultaneously Alkin into the late game, who leveled up terribly poorly; Luna wasn't shining either, all into magic; on the 3rd week, I cleared a couple more Dragon Utopias for the Fire Magic book, parameters, Wings, and the Orb of the Firmament; in the middle of the 3rd week, I was 1 tile short of reaching Tanta to all of the opponent's power stack on the artifact horse; Moner attacked on his turn, I had to cast Armageddon and buy peace; then a drawn-out late game; there was a Crag Hack with Logistics whom I led into the late game, but I buried him with Luna (; all other heroes were without Speed; there were no Stables, Boots, or Gauntlets; I killed the native computer at the beginning of the second month, took the external Hydra dwelling in the back of the spawn; a game of cat and mouse; there is KZ and Dimension Door + Wings; I caught Moner on 7+1+1+1 Angels; I was 100 damage short of killing him with Armageddon; meanwhile, the opponent just shows nuclear stats; all hope is on magic, although the magic stats there are also nuclear; I have the Orb of the Firmament and the Cape; I finally got Boots + Gauntlets at the end and Logistics at the University; simultaneously ran Alkin around the upgrade locations; it all ended on day 236; the opponent decided to take a Frost Ring in the field with 17 Cerberi, 17 Angels, 50 unupgraded Gogs, 25 Birds, with stats around 47-30, +1 Speed, Shackles. I have lower stats at 32-28, +4 Speed, Orb of the Firmament, 17 Hydras, 50 Wasps, 50 Bulls, 60 Gogs, 30 Flies, 14 Angels, 16 Nagas. The Frost Ring didn't work; Moner accidentally attacked with only the Angels under Shackles.
And as for who would have won there, I don't know; I have the advantage in power and Speed, and the stats are higher.
P.S. Orange survived until the end of the game with my redeemed Crag Hack, Cerberi, Bears, and Dimension Door))
Thanks for the game!

And after this they will still say that a rebuild isn't needed... The first encounter in the center was on day 131, where I saw 13 Angels from the opponent, against my 4. After that, I built 6 Mage Guilds level 4 and 5 level 5, including in the Tower with a Library; I took 7 Dragon Utopias, collected about 15-20 scrolls of levels 4-5, and I never got Town Portal; and I barely got Dimension Door in the second-to-last Dragon Utopia, already lagging behind the opponent by more than a week as he jumped and Town Portaled all over. Town Portal, by the way, was never found anywhere on the map when loading the save, neither in the remaining opponent's Castles where it could be built nor in the unclaimed scrolls.
Thanks for the game.

To say that this was a one-sided defeat would be an understatement. It's almost embarrassing to win so easily. If Bishop wants a rematch, I'm willing to play up to two more games, as I told him right after the match. Thanks for the game!
