It seems like FB-8 has just ended, the players have put their horses back in the stables, and Maretti is basking in his glory, but then... New heroes decided to challenge the champion and prove their strength in battles against him and other prize winners in the next final battle; in short, OFB-9 tournament is officially open.:smile03:



I. Regulations and deadlines

The qualifying tournament will be held using a "Swiss" system.

The tournament starts on April 20, 2015; registration ends on April 19, 2015 inclusive.

Each round lasts two weeks – matches will be scheduled without regard to opinions or authority (the only exception is CNG-15 in Volgograd).
Players can agree on a convenient time for themselves, but if they cannot reach an agreement, the critical time for the game is Saturday night - Sunday at 9:00 PM Moscow time - the game must last at least 5 hours (if it was not possible to play in one go, then in the second week - at least 7 hours)thus, in order to resolve the issue of awarding points, players must play at least 12 hours!!!, so I recommend contacting your opponent immediately after the draw and making arrangements; if you fail to do so, write to the organizer or judges; if you don't write, I assume that everything is fine with you and, in case of a controversial situation, I will proceed based on this. In case one player does not show up at the agreed time, the other player must write to the organizer or one of the judges, and when submitting the results, this will be the main argument.
This point is non-negotiable.

OFB will consist of 9 rounds; preliminarily, 7 players advance to the final stage, but under certain circumstances (such as tied places, a player who qualified for FB withdrawing, etc.), the host has the right to expand this list (has the right – does not mean he will necessarily do so – for particularly pedantic demagogues :) ).

The organizers reserve the right to change these regulations.

II. Rules and templates.

1. By default, games are played according to /topic/10593/
2. By default, the game version is SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod latest version; by mutual agreement, WoG, HotA, or any other HOMM3 version can be used.
Games using HW rules mods are only allowed with mutual consent.
3. The template is chosen in turn from a list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish - standard (played with random castles at 200% difficulty with the HW_rules_mod patch, you can play mirror matches if both players want, Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked in red in the table chooses the template first (in this case, the player indicated as number 1 in the pair plays in red).
4. Castle selection... In this tournament, castle selection will be "optional," meaning there is no specific order – you want to play Necropolis? Please do so; you want to play Dungeon? Be my guest, BUT… you cannot play the same castle more than twice in the tournament (if this rule is violated, the match will be forfeited; upon recurrence, disqualification).
The red player starts choosing the castle. If the players want to play with the same castles, they must agree on who will play which one; if they fail to reach an agreement, they will play with random heroes.
This point is non-negotiable; if it doesn't suit you, don't play.
5. The winning player, before the end of the round deadline, must submit a report, and the losing player must confirm it - those who fail to comply with this rule will not be allowed to participate in the draw for the next round.
6. 2 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss.
Winners are determined by the number of points scored. In case of a tie, additional criteria apply:
1) Buchholz coefficient
2) Head-to-head result
7. Draws are prohibited in the last round!!!

III. Organizational issues
1. This is an official, regular tournament.
2. The tournament is held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
3. Tournament host: zloy_romantik (296524052), Palach HP (426409548) – organizational matters.
Tournament judge: Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873) and Pit for LM (471401475)
4. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. Saves from all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and submitted upon request from the tournament hosts or any member of the AC (Arbitration Committee).
6. If controversial situations arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve this, contact the host or judge in ICQ and provide daily saves, ICQ logs, and other necessary information. Appeals against decisions can and should be filed with the AC, not by starting arguments - I will delete such posts and punish offenders (Palach is co-host for a reason; he definitely has an axe :D ).
7. All games in the tournament count towards the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are posted in this thread and will be copied to the "Reports of online games and their confirmations" thread. Therefore, there is no need to duplicate reports in the season ranking.
8. The final stage of the tournament will be held using a round-robin system.

IV. Participants
1. Experienced players from HW and other gaming resources are invited to participate in the tournament.
2. Newcomers who have shown good results are allowed (applications will be considered individually).
3. Players who have just registered are not allowed to participate in the tournament (exception – active players from other gaming resources; applications will be considered individually).
4. Players with permanent bans are not allowed to participate in the tournament. If any player receives a permanent ban during the tournament, they will be disqualified, and their results will be annulled.
5. Applications from undisciplined players who repeatedly "ignored" tournaments may be rejected.
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. Winners and 2nd/3rd place winners of FB-7 tournament are NOT eligible for selection (Maretti, Aive, and Stinger).
8. Attention all participants. Those who have unconfirmed reports that are one month or older at the start of the tournament will not be admitted. Please check current tournaments and the season ranking for outstanding debts!

Well, I think that's it; saddle up, and may the strongest win :smile13:

We started playing without rests. On 111, I took the experience stone with Tunnar and caught earth; there's a shrine with slow under the Castle. Nothing useful was spotted on the respawn, but I decided to play. Later, 3 Hives and 2 cons were scouted. With Tunnar, I took the box for 45 Cerberi at 10k and used oil to take the level 1 con at 115. By 121, I picked up 3 clues at 16 same-type units, another level 3 con; angels are in the fort at home. Among artifacts, I found a hat +4+4, a pendant for 3-3 morale luck, a +6 shield, +4 armor, and gloves.
Tunnar picked up the exp log and on 122 with 6 Angels and other gear burst into the sands, running as far away as possible; along the way, I grabbed a box of 15 Scorpicorns. With adv. scouting and the pipe, I opened the center quite well, but saw nothing interesting. I rushed further down the road, picked up a box of 20 Minotaurs, and entered the level 3 Dragon Utopia. They gave me another 3-3 morale luck pendant, Boots of Superiority, Black Orb, and the book of victory water. I traded all my ducks for this loot. Out of frustration, I noticed a corner of КЗ in the sands behind the champions. I rushed back, took the КЗ, and that's when the mana ran out. I had to spend a day reorganizing and replenishing mana, while bringing the army home on foot. In the end, by 126, I finished 6 Archangels; I plan to use TP to burst into the central castle. On 127, I'm taking the central dungeon in a chain, and there's a miner nearby. TP and attack.
There are 8 reds, about 20 ducks, and 1 angel. I kill the reds with an explosion and cut half the ducks with Archangels. An Armageddon flies at the same time as the angel; the opponent is left with 2 ducks, who died from morale on the Scorpicorns. ГГ, thanks for the game!

We started playing without resets. On 111, Tunnar took an experience stone and got earth magic, with a shrine of slowness under the castle. Nothing worthwhile showed up at the respawn, but I decided to play. Later we scouted 3 hives and 2 Griffin Conservatories. Tunnar took a chest for 45 cerberi for 10k and with oil took a single Conservatory on 115. By 121 I gathered 3 hives for 16 wyverns, another level 3 Conservatory, and at home angels in a fort. Among the artifacts I found a hat +4+4, a pendant for 3-3 morale and luck, a +6 shield, a +4 piece of armor, and gloves.
Tunnar leveled up logistics and on 122 with 6 angels and other good stuff stormed into the sands, ran as far as he could, grabbed a chest for 15 scorpicores along the way. With adventure scouting and a telescope, I revealed the center fairly well but saw nothing interesting. I rushed further along the road, took a chest for 20 minotaurs, and entered a level 3 Dragon Utopia. I got another 3-3 morale and luck pendant, boots of supremacy, a black orb, and a book of victory water. I gave away all my ducks for this loot. In frustration, I noticed an edge of the КЗ in the sands behind the champions. I rushed back, took the КЗ, and ran out of mana. I had to spend a day re-splitting and replenishing mana, while marching the army home on foot. In the end, by 126 I finished 6 Archangels, planning to use Town Portal to break into the central castle. On 127 I take the central dungeon via chain, and there's a miner right next to it. Town Portal and I attack.
There are 8 red dragons, about 20 ducks, and 1 angel. I kill the reds with implosion and cut down half the ducks with Archangels. An armageddon flies at the incoming angel, and the opponent is left with 2 ducks, which died due to morale on the scorpicores. GG, thanks for the game!
A decent start, good heroes, scouted several hives, a minotaur external dwelling, and a speed cloak behind an orc horde, a level 3 Griffin Conservatory — at first all of this turned out to be too much. Then I found a dungeon town and decided to take the red dragon external dwelling behind a horde of raiders, set up with tactics, but the wolves didn't go for the bait and ended up dealing a lot of damage. After them, I was left with 70 troglodytes and 3 minotaurs; the fate of the external dwelling depended on morale, but the dragons turned out to be good). Next, I portal-summoned 6 red dragons, took a book of air, gathered what I could at the respawn, but only came out on 125. In the center, I took a pandora's box for 5 red dragons, a pandora's box for all magic, the opponent's stats look low, seems all good. But then I enter a Dragon Utopia and the golden dragons immediately fly into the reds, 10 of them kill 3 angels in retaliation. Then I decided to take the sentinel's shield with fly and didn't have enough gold to cast Town Portal, and the opponent showed up right then; luck was not on my side this time.
Thanks for the game!

Faria, accept the challenge.
What's with this trend? If your opponent doesn't respond to your ICQ message within an hour, you have to post on the forum? Just wait at least 24 hours... I'm not avoiding games, and I respond to messages daily.

I went red on Spider again and took the Castle. The first hand looked decent; after several shooter blocks on 112, I decided to take the rest. The second hand gave chocolate; I painted the native green opponent on the second day and got a rest from the opponent. The third hand gave moderate roads, so I didn't think much about angels. On the respawn, external dwellings of monks and griffins. I kept thinking about building monks with the external dwelling, but at the end of the week reason prevailed; I built horses and didn't take the external dwelling. However, to rebuild I had to dive into the max-skeleton on the mud, after which little survived. Oh well, horses with griffins in the fort—that's good. Orange Necro with the boost item was captured.

On the second turn, I took a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, a box for first-level magic, and a mini-Griffin Conservatory. I captured several villages and the blue ramp (for some reason, the opponent wasn't given a road to it). At the end of the week, I bought Tanta, gave him the Necro Amulet, and took the external dwelling of monks. Monks are built in the Citadel.

131 Gunnisson breaks into the treasure zone. There's a Dragon Utopia nearby, but I don't risk diving in. No armor (and it won't be given), little meat, almost no defense. I run further, take a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and several boxes; in one of them is all of the fifth level. I break into a village, refill mana in the well, and run to the Dragon Utopia. It's a tri-Dragon Utopia; I took quite a lot of meat, everything died except 15 ducks, and only thanks to summon earth. I got a sword and shield from the Titan set. On 137, angels are being built in the Citadel at home; Gunn levels up at home on an angel; next turn I plan to break through the mountains and capture the enemy main. Tanta slowly necromanced 200 bones; in one of the villages, a Mage Guild-4 with a chain lightning spell that will kill Tazar at the end of the game.

141 I take a Dragon Fly Hive on the respawn, upgrade 19 monks, and break into the opponent. A red rush of Might and Magic; I sit in the town, and there's nothing bought up in more than two weeks! 8 ducks, 15 cows, 30+ snakes, and everything else. Only the basilisk eggs are bought up, and Tyraxor is running nearby with a good stack of them.
142 Tyrax on his turn takes a tri-Griffin Conservatory so I don't get it. I attack, kill the angels and half the basilisk eggs; Tyrax buys back in with 25 lizards and 22 basilisk eggs. I capture the enemy village at the bottom of the map. From the tavern, I see that Tazar took a Dragon Utopia and was given a hat with a lot of knowledge.
143 I made many moves but didn't manage to do two Dimension Doors with Gunnisson at the end, so Gunn stayed near the swamp. Unexpectedly, that turned out to be very convenient. On his turn, Tazar runs up and stops not far from the swamp.
144 I check—there are 10 angels and small fry, but 300 mana. I upgrade 30 Wyverns and decide to attack.
Tazar 13 18 12 300+ 10 angels 22 greater basilisks 4 regular basilisks 17 gnolls 8 Wyverns 25 lizards
Gunnisson 26 17 7 ~60 19 monks 30 greater Wyverns 3 angels 19 flies 26 griffins 47 pikemen 41 greater archers
The plan was a rush with mass haste, explosion over 800, Golden Bow for the archers and ballista, and even if basic, still a resist.
In the first round, the flies, angels, and ballista died from the meteor (but the ballista managed to kill an angel). I cast mass haste, kill ducks with ducks. The angels cut down the griffins.
Second round—implosion on the angels, I hit with Wyverns, two remain. The opponent corners the angels and resurrects four.
Third round—archers and implosion kill the angels; Wyverns move above and hit the greater basilisks. The opponent summons earth elementals. I have 8 mana, zero gold (a mistake, of course; I could have spent less).
Fourth round—archers kill everything except the earth elementals; Wyverns wait. An implosion flies at them; resist didn't save, two remain. If I had enough gold for even a hero ransom, I could have fled, leaving 4 lizards, and killed them with a shot on the same turn, but I had zero gold. So I flee, leaving the earth elementals. Both heroes go to the tavern.

Income 10k, a bunch of meat unbought in the swamp; Tanta is on the other side of the map with horses and skeletons, preparing to take the Griffin Conservatory, so the position looks better than the opponent's. On his turn, Tazar runs up to the swamp with meat ransomed from the dungeon: 8 medusas, 1+1+1+1+21 greater harpies, 14 Evil Eyes.
145 A scout hero kills one harpy. Gunn buys back in a village, learns the chain lightning spell, and immediately breaks through nearby. Buys back in a village with a nearby well, refills mana, and breaks into the swamp. I take 22+1+1+1 lizards and three snakes. Hold with snakes; the harpies also hold. I let the medusas and Evil Eyes shoot, and on the lizards' turn from hold, I cast the chain, killing all harpies. A second chain in the second round kills everything else.
Thanks for the game!

We used all restarts, the draw was average, but we found an external dwelling of sprites. Kiya was leveling up excellently: Air, Tactics, Armorer, Offense. 40 Marks of the Warlord dropped from Pandora's Box, making it even easier to break through. By week 2, I collected three Dragon Fly Hives, a minimal Wyvern dwelling; for the Spirit of Regret, the questor offered 30 Crow's Feathers; I have Boots and Gloves plus Stables... Without thinking twice, I dive into a Dragon Utopia at the start of week 3; it gives money, junk, and Wings... I skip the Flask for picking up the Elixir and rush at full speed towards my opponent; by the end of the week, I managed to take all towns — 4500 movement points :) On day 137, I picked up the Elixir, broke a Dragon Utopia for money, crushed Kiya in a Castle, where I built Angels in the town and recaptured their external dwelling. On day 141, my opponent's Vidoomna appeared right on the road to that Castle with great power; a buyout and an attack. The opponent decided to surrender — thank you for the game.

On the respawns there’s a ton of gold, external market. At the start of the second week I began collecting Dragon Fly Hives, too bad they were all small. Total over two weeks: 54 ducks from 11 Dragon Fly Hives. On 126 I took a level-3 Dragon Utopia with a feed of 180 skeletons and native meat. It gave a +5 All sword, a crit sphere, and wings.
On 131 I took another level-1 Dragon Utopia and used the wings to crush the main opponent. Then I feigned weakness in the center and headed to the opponent’s treasury. On his turn, the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

There's a lot of gold on the resource nodes, and the market is active. At the beginning of the second week, I started collecting artifacts, but unfortunately, they were all small. In total, over two weeks, I got 54 artifacts from 11 nodes. On day 126, I took a level 3 Utopia with 180 skeletons and native creatures. I received a +5 all stats sword, a crystal ball, and wings.
On day 131, I took another level 1 Utopia and, using the wings, captured the main opponent's town. Then, I helped out in the center and went to the treasure room of the opponent. On his turn, the opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game.

I confirm.

The first game in Fortress was sad and without a chance. Basically, convenient treasure rooms with hives (behind normal guards) and Utopias decide the outcome on the mini-map. Perhaps the opponent overplayed on the resource nodes. The first one with Moner, I repeat, perhaps it wasn't worth re-establishing, despite having several ranged units.

Thank you for the game! Although I didn't get a single Utopia on day 135, I drowned in a swamp treasure room after taking my native treasure room, where the hives were for 5-9 gold and 10+ red creatures.
