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 were many blocks, nasty and unpleasant ones. Overall, a decent draft.
First week I farmed the respawn and broke through to the secondary areas. On the second I went to the center and there were very nasty clashes on the road, with no way to bypass, somehow I broke through and reached the purple player, and even got a 127 double. Then I took the Conflux from the pink player, revealed the spot where the Grail lies, and started digging with 5 heroes. The Grail turned out to be exactly on the last possible tile)) dug it up on 141 and set up in the Conflux. On 145 I cleared a max Dragon Utopia (Tome of Water, Tome of Air, Titan's Cuirass, and Red Boot) - not the most useful with a Grail in the Conflux, but the gold and the cuirass came in handy. On 147 I took the mine from the opponent and then finished him off. I messed up before the finale on a wasted timer. Overthought my attack on the opponent with a scout hero in the swamp, and in the end I was one tile short of breaking through his Armageddon's Blade on 1240 - cuirass + Orb of Fire + a leveled-up scout hero). Oh well, I thought, and attacked with my main - I had a very significant troop advantage, and our stats were equal.

Thanks for the game)

I confirm, thanks for the game.

Grabbed the computers, scouted 4 Griffin Conservatories. Ended up assembling 10 Angels. The native treasure zones were small, I didn't even feel like going in there. So on 132, I broke my home level-3 Dragon Utopia with КЗ and punched through ГО. On 133, scouting off the break. 134, a Dragon Utopia in the center with a Blue Keeper's Tent. Town Portal to the native treasure zone for the Dragon Utopia and a chain back. By 136, everything visible in the center had been cleared. Gained a decent amount of stats. Giants were built in the Castle with their upgrade on 141.
There was nothing else to do; the opponent had Archangels in the Tavern, so I had to break in.

The nearby Castle turned out to be Castle, which couldn't have been more convenient. On 142, our Archangels joined the Titans.

Granted, we were playing from a save and didn't have enough time to return the Archangels and Titans to the main hero. In the end, I had to buy them back along with a scout hero. But attacking Jeremy was clearly unnecessary. A Dragon Utopia and a pack of Cyclops, backed by the Cannon and stats, turned up the heat, and this time Kaluha had to run. It was a dangerous moment, but all's well that ends well. In the end, with control, I cornered Kaluha with just one village. He had control there too, but the advantage in parameters was undeniable.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

And again, for some variety, I rolled Inferno for myself on a mini-ghost with ideal comps (I know, not very original, I promise to be more original next time). My previous game with those starting conditions didn't appeal to me in terms of the tempo I achieved, so I decided to go full tempo in this one... Yeah. I tempod.

The primary task, as usual, was to quickly kill the ramp, but it spawned, naturally, in the underground, so the task of finding the exit to the right respawn was a bit complicated.
Around day three, I found the first obvious exit — to the dungeon. My gut told me not to run along the underground roads, but to sharply turn around and look for another exit. It later turned out my gut was right.
The adjacent path quickly hit a ГО, forcing me to turn around again and run down a completely different road through some blocks.
On day 5, I found a fork — either an elevator or a teleport. I flipped a coin and ran to the elevator — it turned out to be a nearby castle. On 116, I draw chain, I hit the teleport with a noob, praying the ramp isn't too far. In vain. I reached it exactly on 122. Couldn't be bothered to turn back, so I attacked the entire enemy army in the citadel (at least not in the castle). The archers decided it was very funny to morale in the first round, and then luck on the second shot. I disagreed, but I had to give up 22 magogs anyway.

I finished the first week as planned, with 1-6 in the citadel. Could have planted the castle, but didn't, 10k left for planned purchases. The tempo mindset commanded sacrificing some meat for a full demoning from 121. On the bright side — noticed 5 cons along the road and 2 more slightly off to the side. The tempo vein is starting to genuinely itch in anticipation.

From 121, I place pits, buy exactly 4 of them, buy efreets and some meat for conversion, pass to the main who starts swiftly demoning while the meat takes the ramp and slowly returns to take the cons.

On 123, the meat finally arrives, and I decide to dive into the first con double on grass with 40 demons, 5 efreets, and singles... Could have organized a haste delivery through the scholar, but the main would have had to idle another turn for that, and the tempo vein couldn't be stopped anymore. Result: first heavy losses — 4 efreets and 4 demons.

On 124, an excellent chain is built for tempo-taking of 4 cons. But the fool main makes a mistake and runs past the tree of knowledge, where I planned to level up oil. Since the con was unknown, I decided to go back and level up anyway, and naturally, the con turned out to be a double, the chain didn't work out, and three cons remained out of reach that day.

On 125, using improvised chains, I finally grab all the cons from yesterday. In a 3-stack with GS on 2 moralities from griffins, I lose 7 demons (4 of them as imps) to a noob, in another triple another -4, and finally a single with no losses. That same day, I unexpectedly find another con in the middle of nowhere, build another improvised chain, and send a noob for it. Kahlh with 2 angels breaks into the scouted treasure zone and sits down to replenish mana.

126, I dive with the noob, with 9 angels and 45 demons, into an unknown con... max with GS on grass. -15 demons and -2 angels... I hit myself over the head with a big stick labeled: "tempo killed the dog," it doesn't help. Kahlh, after bone dragons, grabs a Town Portal scroll and, overwhelmed with emotion, decides to go into a Dragon Utopia with a feeding of 6 wyverns. No doubt from that same overflow, I lose another 15 demons. The only pleasant thing in the utopia is the boots. And cash for demoning. By the end of the week, I'm already breaking into the next treasure zone.

On 131, with the purchase of the ramp's feeding, I dive into another Dragon Utopia. The dragons gleefully devour all the feeding in two rounds, and then the remaining demons. From useful stuff, I get a +2 HP vial and a lion's shield. From the army, only 13 angels. Without about a hundred demons on 132, I feel like a complete moron. Nothing to be done, I start demoning from scratch like crazy with Town Portal (by 132 +42 demons) and collecting resources for archs. At the ГО stand archdevils, the opponent's army power glows higher, so I don't want to go to the center at all. On 133, the opponent's obscene stats start glowing too, and any desire to show up in the center finally disappears. I run to the third treasure zone. Actually, at first, I wanted to run away. Then something bit me in the rear, and I decided for some reason to take the dungeon first. That's when I realized I wasn't wrong for not going for it in the first week. The dungeon turns out to be further than 3900 moves from the entrance to its zone. In the end, I take it only on 135. On 136, I finally have enough gems to upgrade the entire angelic brotherhood, but I don't have enough brains or restraint to stop demoning at every convenient and inconvenient opportunity. During another attempt to replenish the horned stack, the key noob is 30 moves short of Town Portal, and I'm left without archs and without an exit to the center (maybe it's for the best; by then, the center was already empty). On 137, I finally break into the third treasure zone, spot a Dragon Utopia, and sit down to replenish mana.

On 141, the opponent disgustingly and untimely pushes me out of the arch growth, and on the same day, the hat of the speaker is found in the Dragon Utopia. That's the end of my 3 treasure zones: besides full control, 14 archs, and a red orb, I have nothing to my name. The opponent has stats, full control, and a good army. There was a chance on 143 to catch Jerry separately from the archs and titans, but it suddenly turned out that to crush my entire army (by then 14 archs and 105 demons), his ducks and cyclopes were quite enough. Yeah, a hundred demons is not 300, and not even 200. :smile32: Everything after that was clear.

Thanks for the game!:smile02:

Textbook game. Got gunnar day 1 but didnt show him untill day 4. So had to work with Jeremy the first days, but that worked fine and I got exp earth pretty early.

Went to middle and took tans cowe town. Took 3 cons for 5 angels and a nix dwell week 2. Found enough gold to buy army to take a tope at 132. The tope was bad but at least gave gold.

Next day I retreated to middle town and took another tope there. It gave air book and lion shield. Bought art merc and paid 20 k for boots.

Next day I saw a tope with a scout and I jumped in there and I got earth book and HH. Went back for mana and next day I saw Anabel with no army on so I decided to kill her. Since I had major speed I went a little futher and found his army on a scout. I only had 6 angels on but it was plenty to kill almost all. I went even futher and could kill 5 angels on Cassiopeia and the game was long over. TFP.

We played without resets
Saw red's double, but was given a morale ring as a bonus; there were 2 conservatories above the Castle and Cassiopeia, so I didn't restart.
First conservatory was a one; took it on day 112; my army clears the respawn; Cassi runs along the road.
The road network turned out to be much worse than red's; no roads to the corner treasure zone with a village were generated at all; I ran past the computer, killing its noob — turned behind the lumber mill that was behind its mountains — came to the lot of pits... oops!... but at least I scouted :confused:
Took the second conservatory at the start of week 2 with Anabel; then 2 Zephyrs; the guards of the second — Minotaur (guarding a Voodoo Doll too) — showed how the morale ring doesn't affect them — minus one Cyclops, all Pirates, and 10 Butterflies :eek:
Cassi had already returned from the dead end, giving an angel to the noob so he could take a green; reinforcements were brought to her, and she ran back with 2 angels and Cyclops... into nowhere))
But in the treasure zone, the roof of a Dragon Utopia is visible; Cassiopeia turns to merge the army, breaks into the computer's Castle, and through a Zephyr she runs out to the Utopia while Anabel takes the conservatory and a Naga Bank to buy a feast... but at night, the opponent, with a freshly captured КВ, spots the Utopia through the wall and takes a teapot with КЗ out of it!... well, it's good that he saw both the Utopia and Anabel, jumping after them — there was nothing to counter an Air book on Gunnar with boots, gloves, and Expert Air, and an Earth tome likely wouldn't have saved us, but at least we finished earlier :)

good game, thanks for playing :smile20:

On the respawn I found three Dragon Fly Hives behind easy guards. In the cottage under the castle there was Earth Magic - so by 113 Jeremy already had Expert Earth Magic, but by law of averages I only found Slow by 125! Through bug-passability on day three I took the orange computer's dungeon. Shaktu was the boss there, but Jeremy easily dealt with the Troglodytes. And on the computer's respawn there were a bunch of goodies: two Dwarf Cottages, two Griffin Conservatories, two Workshops, a Dragon Fly Hive - all nearby! In the center, I scouted and spotted a pirates' external dwelling.
On 121 Jeremy took two Dwarf Cottages, bought units, upgraded the pirates, and took two of the three Dragon Fly Hives. They gave 10 Wyverns. I didn't go into the third one - it was big. I split up into the dungeon and took two Griffin Conservatories: first a level 2, then a level 3. I spotted the opponent in the center. I decided not to rush; on 124 I took another Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, a level 1 Workshop, and headed towards the opponent. Gunnar ran away, leaving two Workshops unclaimed - also two level 1s. I was planning to take two more Workshops, then on 131 go into two Dragon Utopias, but the opponent set up Gunnar with all his army and no money for ransom. Jeremy attacks, and it's all grim there.
Thanks for the game!

On 121 I took two Dwarf Cottages with Jeremy, shopped, upgraded the pirates and took two of the three Dragon Fly Hives. They gave 10 Wyverns. I didn't go for the third one - too big. I broke into the dungeon and took two Griffin Conservatories: first a level 2, then a level 3. I spotted the opponent in the center. Decided not to rush, on 124 I took another Dragon Fly Hive with 8 Wyverns, a level 1 Workshop and rode towards the opponent. Gunnar ran away, leaving two Workshops unclaimed - also two level 1s. I was going to take two more Workshops, then on 131 go into two Dragon Utopias, but the opponent offered Gunnar up with all his might and no money for ransom. Jeremy attacks, and it's all bad there.

It went pretty well. I was doing well in the first week, but in the second week, I lost some momentum due to skill, plus I didn't level up properly, didn't find any Pandora units, and only got one artifact. In the third week, I started losing to the main opponent.
Thanks for the game!

Necro in HotA are so weeeak...
How to play Necro is unclleeaar...

Well, so, I promised to be original next time, and here you go - first, Necro, second, Necro via Clavius. Opp took 1 rest on 111, I took one on 112, and we started.

It spawned in Dungeon, of course, but I spread out on day 1 to 6 heroes, popped an easy Griffin Conservatory two, two external skeleton dwellings, and passed the turn... And a second later I howled, cursing, because I didn't notice the block on the only road from 20-49 Monks for a -2 morale pendant. However, upon sober reflection, it became clear that it was no big deal; we'd break through with Angels on 121, and there's stuff to do on the respawn until then. My only doubts were whether there would be enough room on the respawn to develop at least up to Vampires in the Castle. Spoiler - there was.

On 112 we break through another Conservatory and realize our tempo problems are solved - a single one. On 113, bringing rags, we calmly break through with Haste, sacrificing all available growth and a few Skeletons. The same day, we chain-grab a prison with upgraded Harpies... Jeremy, level 5. Well, that's already a bit much... :o Oh well, not going to refuse. We immediately send him with a shooter and an Angel to clear the respawn. In the Black Tower we find Boots... In the Crypt, a Vampire's Cloak... Klev is leveling Offense, Armorer, Logistics, and Earth... I start to feel bad for the opponent. :o

On 117, not just Vampires but Cavaliers in the Castle become available, +7k for buyout. But it suddenly turns out that over a week of clearing the respawn, I haven't seen a single pile of Crystals. Even though I've scouted most of the respawn. But no complaints, so we don't get cocky and break the Conservatory on 121 without Vampires, just using growth. Though, of course, it's a pity that opening a free front got delayed indefinitely.

On 122 we send Jeremy on 2 Angels and a shooter to find and kill the computer, while we ourselves head to the center with the entire army. At the same time, we set up a chain from home to finally claim the found pile of Crystals.
On 123 we stall, getting confused by the buggy road network, and only on 124 does Jeremy run off in the right direction, while the main force on Vampires takes a couple of hives (14 Wyverns). On 126 Jeremy breaks his native computer (Conflux), while the main force pushes through to the corner against Orange (sic!) and Teal.
127 - I take another Conservatory 2, Teal's computer (Tower), find exactly Giants in their Castle, set up chains to unite the army and start taking scouted Dragon Utopias. Have about 400 Skeletons.

On 132 the first Dragon Utopia falls (max). Frenzied Dragons eat an Angel and 3 (!) Giants out of 7. Feels like it's not them with -2 morale and me with -1, but the opposite. I get demoralized in the first round with both of my main stacks, though at least 500 Skeletons can't be demoralized. :mad: However, after checking the Utopia's contents, the butthurt evaporates without a trace. Speaker's Hat, Shield +4 all, and a Helm for Mana (which had just run out, and there's a Well nearby).
On 133 another max Utopia yields a Sword +5 all, КЗ, Boots +2 all, and the Hat... :D

For the rest of week 3 I mess around with full control, snatching a junk Utopia from under the opponent's nose, and on 137 I rush in to take the main, but I utterly screwed up the timing and didn't quite make it. Titans became available. On 141 with 9 Titans, 20 Greater Liches, 9 Master Genies, 13 Angels, 910 Greater Skeletons, and 14 Dreads, I steamroll the opponent's main who overplayed his hand - it was all bad, and after the massacre of all the mages, there was a surrender.

Thanks for the game :smile02:

P.S. Yeah, at first glance there was a lot of candy, but if not for the complete lack of Crystals, everything would have been doable without the Angel from 112 and without Jeremy. Pure Liches could have broken through everywhere, and from 121 on Vampires would have done it all. Weak Necro, huh
