The first long-awaited tournament on mirror templates

Spirit and idea of the tournament

Since the times of VT, everyone has been expecting an adaptation of mirror templates for SoD. And now it has happened. Here there is minimum room for "luck" and maximum opportunity to demonstrate your "skill".
Forward!

The tournament prize pool is 15000р. For first place – 8000, second – 4000, third – 2000, and 1000 rubles will go as a people's choice award.

I. Registration and Regulations:
a) The tournament starts on July 17, 2015.
b) Registration is open until July 16, 18:00 MSK.
c) The tournament bracket and system of conduct will be determined after registration closes depending on the number of participants.
d) In the event of a large number of registrants, a bracket option will be chosen to conduct qualifying games in the shortest possible time and weed out most participants so that only truly experienced players participate in further struggles and the tournament does not stretch over time.
e) To participate in the tournament, it is necessary by the end of registration to have at least 5 played and confirmed games on ХВ. Also, recently registered ХВ members who do not meet the requirement for the number of played games may participate if they are sponsors of the tournament (contribution of at least 1000 rubles to the fund) and have no past violations of portal rules.
f) The group stage deadline is until 31.08.2015.
g)The upper and lower bracket finals are played bo3 (one match diamond + h3dm1, if a 3rd match is necessary, a coin toss).
The Grand Final is played bo5, with a score of 1-0 in favor of the player from the upper bracket.

II. Rules and Templates:
a) By default, games are on version HoTA (1.3.8)+HD-mod with the HW-Rules 1.34 patch connected; by agreement, opponents may play SoD.
b) Color and the right to choose a hero are negotiated (therefore red-rush is allowed). First, castles are determined (in the case of mirror templates, it is the same), then negotiations for color and hero follow alternately.
c) Each player has the right to cross out 1 undesirable castle, as well as 1 hero before the start of negotiation for them (may choose not to use this right), after which a ban on these castles is set in HW-Rulz mode and a random 1-castle generator is launched. The game will be played with this castle.
d) The template for the game is chosen from two existing "mirrors": "mir_Diamond", "mir_h3dm1" by agreement; if an agreement cannot be reached, the choice is made by a coin toss in hw-rulz. 1 - h3dm1, 0 - mir_Diamond.
e) "Hit-and-run" is prohibited.
f) There is 1 subjective restart and objective restarts (restart due to a block (inability to leave the castle) or a severe generation bug).
g) Roads are medium.
h) It is forbidden to steal anything other than resources and chests from guards that have been shifted, or to visit objects (except mills) that do not have their own internal guards.
i) The use of diplomacy is prohibited except for paying off enemies.
j) Game timer is chess: 21+8,30+1,15. Starting difficulty - 160%.
k) Use of in-game bugs described in the rules on ХВ and various kinds of cheat codes is prohibited.
l) The main rule is game ethics and a respectful attitude toward the opponent.
m) Everything that is not forbidden by the rules is allowed.
n) For SoD, any building is allowed; however, in captured villages and towns, building an additional necromancy amplifier is prohibited, except in the starting town.
o) ДД no more than 1 time per day regardless of the "Air" skill level.

III. Organizational Issues:
a) The tournament is unofficial.
b) The tournament is conducted according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in HOMM3 online tournaments.
c) Tournament leaders and judges – Redwhait HP (658339987), KobRa_RR (286406830), Toganash (564224919). Chief judge - Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873).
d) Leaders have the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament, as well as the right to refuse participation to any player without a public explanation of reasons.
e) For each played game, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
f) Saves of all games must be kept until the end of the tournament and presented upon the first request of the tournament leader or judge.
g) The judicial decision is made primarily based on the tournament rules. If the situation that arose is not regulated by the rules, judges are guided by basic logic and game ethics.
h) All tournament games go into the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread and will be copied to the "Online game reports and their confirmations" thread.

Good luck, and may skill win!!!

Ran past the TP, didn’t make it to the DD. Thanks for the game.

on the first one I scouted, on the second I found a treasure zone with a decent amount of goodies, several Zealots, workshops, Griffin Conservatories 3+4. I placed Angels on the second.
when I found Town Portal in a shrine, I spent a long time thinking why I hadn’t taken Wisdom earlier. From the start I was leveling Erdamon. Log, boots, stable—wasn’t far behind Mon. At the end of the second month, I started leveling a second main—Cass. Wisdom + Log + Earth for Town Portal seemed perfect.
of course I decided the Dimension Door scroll was in the corner of the treasure zone. I took both mine and the opponent’s. In the end I out-moshed him.

thanks for the game!

He quickly ate 2 Dragon Utopias for stats and Fortress Capture, the opponent scouted a tasty treasure zone and rushed to take it on my side of the map, but he got caught there.

Thanks for the game!

In week 1, I built Giants in the castle and took Conservatory level 1.
On day 121, I went to break his treasure zone with 2 more Conservatories and 2 Hives, where there was also a KВ.
On day 124, I jump through the portal to the opponent's treasure zone, which had 2 Conservatories and 5 Angels.
On day 127, I go to the opponent's second treasure zone for another 2 Conservatories and from there, through his treasure zone, into my portal and towards the Dragon Utopias.
On day 133, I eat his 2 treasure zones and start building up an Angel army; my main army is at Level 1 because the opponent takes a Dragon Utopia with a weak army in my treasure zone.
On day 134, the opponent attacked unexpectedly! It turns out they were given КВ, and there was КЗ. I didn't expect that at all, and I was very upset about not having enough money for a bribe, especially since I had already started building up my army; otherwise, things would have been different. A very interesting strategy. Thanks for the game.

I paid 1900 for color and hero. In the first game, I got heavily outplayed in the Medusa zone. In the second, I managed to scout slightly more than the opponent, gathered an army, and broke into their treasure zone on turn 126 for Dragon Fly Hive and 1st-level Griffin Conservatory. I thought about starting with their Dragon Utopia right away. Next turn, Gunnar moved next to it and got blocked in. Expert archery with Cyclopes and oil, even with negative morale, dismantled them well. Thanks for the game.

Paid 1900 for the color and the hero. First game, I heavily blundered in the Medusa Warren. Second game, I managed to scout slightly more than the opponent, gathered an army, and broke into his treasure zone on day 126 behind the Dragon Fly Hive and a tier-1 Griffin Conservatory. I was thinking of starting with his Dragon Utopia right away. Next turn, Gunnar moved next to it and was covered. Expert Archery with Cyclopes and Oil, even with negative morale, took them apart quite well. Thanks for the game.

That's right. The game dealt me an amazing lineup: Lina, Jenova, Octavia, 2 native heroes in the tavern, and Gunnar on day 112. BUT! I made a lot of blunders, scouted not what was right under my nose, but ventured into the wilds and wasted my armies in quite foolish ways. In the end, I also left myself exposed — and was naturally punished)

Thanks for the game)

sacrificed a lot of single units, which the opponent didn't check for a long time, and I started taking them from the 2nd day.
GG, thanks for the game.

Actually, I just rushed the opponent with 160 mana and 10 spell power, without Bolt and Meteor, after building houses, which decided the game.
Thanks for the game.

A very interesting match played out. Mike's leader changed hands several times.

Started off strong — cavalry in the Castle, took all 3 villages, Mephala refused water but bought air instead and ran to a hut for the Log. 121 we start from the stables, which take about 1.5 days to reach winding around.

Then just got unlucky. There were 2 scouted directions. One had 3 Air Elementals along the road and a treasure zone with Boots in the distance, the other was near minor loot, a Pandora's Box, and a Hive. Fairly chose the 2nd option, leaving the Air Elementals for the slowpokes. Walked for 3 days — zero profit, and ran into a bug. The road is missing from the outer side of the teleporter. We're stuck.
But what's good is that Mephala is about twice as strong in stats.

Gradually lost the advantage and fed part of the army. Meanwhile the opponent is already grabbing the only Angels on the map — and I was just about to head there. There were also 2 Dragon Utopias there. Still, Mephala's specialty allowed me to defeat the Tier 3 with practically nothing and tolerable losses, then the Tier 6 as well. Have full control. I rush to the opponent, since there's a chance to still grab the maximum in the swamp. Only managed to get an Imp. He buys me off, I catch up, another Imp, but I sense there won't be enough gold to upgrade the Drakes (external dwelling).

I squeezed my own and the enemy's Giants up to 11, and then the opponent hard-banks on the timer, forgetting to pick up 34 Cyclopes. With them, the final wouldn't have been a formality — there was an Armageddon found there too.

Thanks for the interesting match!

It was a very interesting game. The leader's position changed hands several times.

I started strong – I got horses in my castle and took all three villages. Mephala refused water but bought air and ran to an external dwelling for a log. At level 121, we start with stables, which take about 1.5 days to reach.

Then I just had bad luck. There were two explored paths. One led to 3 zephyrs and a treasure zone with boots in the distance; the other was near smaller loot, Pandora, and a Hive. I chose the second option, leaving the zephyrs for the looters. After walking for 3 days, there was no profit, and I hit a bug. There is no road outside the town portal. What a mess.
But it’s good that Mephala has stats twice as good.

Gradually, I lost my advantage and sacrificed part of my army. And my opponent was already taking the only angels on the map - and I was just getting ready to go there. There were also 2 Dragon Utopias there. But still, Mephala's special ability allowed me to defeat the tier-three creature with minimal losses, then the tier-four one. Full control achieved. I run towards my opponent because there is a chance to grab the maximum resource point in the swamp. I managed to get only Implosion. He buys them off, I catch up, he uses Implosion again, but I feel like I won't have enough money to upgrade the fighters (external dwelling).

I took his and my giants, bringing their number to 11, and then my opponent used the timer to heavily fortify himself, forgetting to take 34 cyclops. With them, the final battle wouldn't be a formality – there was also an Armageddon spell available.

Thank you for the interesting game!

In the first week, or even within 2-3 days, I kill 12 upgraded acid creatures and 30 upgraded harpies, losing almost everything.
9 upgraded elves.
I took the cities a few days earlier.
Unicorn in the Citadel, and prices crashed.
At level 121, I go for zephyrs.

2-3 zephyrs, I see Mephala’s tough stats:eek:.
Well, I think the game is over.

At level 127, dragons in the castle and external dwelling.

My army is finally stronger; there is a chance.

In the third week, I take 2 Dragon Utopias 1-2 days before my opponent.

KZ KB blue cap. Before they can scatter, my opponent arrives.

I bought them off a couple of times. ~50k gold given away. No gold left for dragon upgrades:(

Last turn:
The timer ran out. I don't transfer one unit to prevent him from taking the castle. Trogl+cure lost to 1 nymph. I messed up, making the Town Portal to the wrong place, leaving 34 cyclops behind, and staying in the wrong castle... what a mess. :smile17:

Opponent attacks, and it was very frustrating to lose. :smile33:
Opponent has speed advantage first. Armageddon doesn't help anymore. 11 giants with antimagic...

I should have won...

Thank you for the game.

Sneaked into the opponent's main castle, bought a powerful Knight from the stables, and captured the opponent's hero.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm. The game didn't go well from the start. I lost troops and momentum. In the end, I pass the turn; the red player is far away, and there's no way through. Next day - I don't have a main castle or a hero anymore. Thanks for the game.

Found some fat loot with a consa 3 and 6 zephyrs, cleared my own area, and boom. Ended up with 80 Cyclopes. The opponent didn't have time to implement the control found in Dragon Utopia. Thanks for the game.
