Could we play a tournament using one of the mirror match templates? Mirror matches are best for viewing when there's a two-sided stream, allowing you to compare the development paths of the opponents.

Unfortunately, SOD (and Hota as well) don't have good mirror maps. Everything comes down to the different heroes at the start, which is what decides the games on the current small mirror map. In general, creating a mirror map for SOD that is smaller than size L is not a great idea. WoG doesn't have this problem, but there are only about one and a half streamers for WoG in the community.

Are you talking about mirror_Skirmish, while h3dm1 and mirror_Diamond, which are both L-sized, are already being played?

These templates are not popular among streamers because it is impossible to assess how interesting the games on them will be for viewers.

Well, these templates aren't popular among streamers – it's impossible to gauge how interesting the games created with them will be to viewers.
But how can they be successful if no one has even uploaded them anywhere? :confused:

apparently, it's still in testing, so expect it to be available on the shelves soon. In principle, h3dm1 is already ready. IMHO.

For them to become popular, they need to establish consistent rules first, instead of some incomprehensible mess.

For them to be successful, they first need to adopt permanent rules, not some random nonsense
And where did you see "random nonsense"? It seems no one has posted them yet...

The rules there are the usual HeroesWorld ones. Only the shifted guard rule does not apply (since it is shifted for both).

I'm speaking situationally, using the example of the mirror skirmish, which, while I was playing in the m200 tournament, raised more and more questions with each turn about what is and isn't allowed — neither the HeroesWorld rules nor the tournament organizer's rules explained them properly. I think by analogy it might be the same with these:cool:

IMHO, that's a mistake. It's not quite right to collect everything on the fly for free. If you play by the rules, then play by the rules. I don't see the point in allowing/forbidding something separate for a mirror match.

I think the point is that they sat on the mirror skirmish for probably half a year, and when they organized a tournament, it turned out the people weren't into it. They could have just released it, let the players test it out, fix the bugs, and run a proper tournament.

I think we're talking about how the mirrored skirmish was being developed for about six months, and when the tournament was organized, it turned out that people weren't interested. But they could have just released it so that people could test it, fix the bugs, and hold a proper tournament.
Testing is already underway; I personally saw about 10 matches on streams. Those who were interested have already contacted us and received the template file.

Besides, it's much easier with the L-shaped maps because they have been tested in Battle Tactics for many years, and there is experience, so there are no more "childhood diseases" there, except perhaps for minor adjustments, and even that is unlikely.

I asked Wizard to release it officially; we're waiting.

Regarding the rules, it doesn't really matter; you can play with the rule of shifted guards. We just played without it in Battle Tactics, and there were no complaints.

The only bottleneck here is the rules for choosing colors and heroes; I don't know yet what the best way to do it is. In Battle Tactics, there was the option to start with the same heroes, but this is not available in Sword of Destiny (maybe it will be later). The simplest option is to have random starting heroes and negotiate the color.
