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:

Quite a tough deal, road guards that had to be circled around, Valka with a very crooked development, but no better main candidates were found. 4 Dragon Fly Hives, 3 Griffin Conservatories, and an Angel external dwelling spawned. I took the external dwelling for horses, started taking Dragon Fly Hives on day 116. By day 121 I had 24 Wyverns, Valka with the Water of Life scroll ran to the Dragon Utopia, scouts collected the remaining Griffin Conservatories. I built a Well. On day 122 I took the 2nd Dragon Utopia, got a speed artifact and a +12 shield. I upgraded the Angels. That makes 30 Wyverns and 9 Archangels. On day 123 I hit a Guarded Ore pit, I see two paths, up and right, but the top is blocked by another GO - Dimension Door. I run right, take a Pandora's Box with 20 Djinns, and run into the opponent's GO. You can tell it's the opponent's zone from the painted Skeleton external dwelling sticking out. I can't break through because I have very few movement points left, so I stop next to him. Then Gosha comes out, hits the GO, but doesn't go further. I notice that on the path up beyond the Dimension Door, a hat is visible on the entire fifth square. I decide to take it, then attack Gosha. I have to take it with a scout, but the Arches allow it. I attack Gosha, he has 350 gr Skeleton Archers, 7 Angels, and a few Wyverns. Completely unexpectedly, I get an implosion on the Arches (-3) and he buys them back. The terrible level-up of Vali is worrying - no logistics, no normal magic schools, only water. No artifacts for spell points. I'm afraid Gosha will simply outrun me if I go to finish him off (especially since it's unclear where the implosion came from, maybe he has control too), so Valya runs to clear the Center, and a pair of scouts go to scout the blue's respawn. I gave an Archangel to one of the scouts.
The scout with the Archangel took out the blue's main hero, and Valya ran around the Center but didn't find anything particularly interesting. However, the Cloak of the Undead King was spotted at bubuch's respawn. I ran there, took it from him, it felt safer since I had only 3 spell points without the speed artifact. Another pleasant thing - Valya finally got Air Magic as her second-to-last skill. Day 127 - Gosha tries to Dimension Door from his respawn to get to my main, but doesn't make it. Very luckily for me, he doesn't kill my scout in the chain, and I manage to have Valya run from the center to the scout, town portal back, and have the scout barge the army. Gosha turns around and runs into the Center. Valya chases but falls far behind. Next turn, Gosha leaves himself exposed. I attack, and immediately target the Skeletons with Arches and Wyverns (casting an advanced Haste on them). I kill almost all of them. The Wyverns also exhausted and killed 2 Angels. He has 5 Angels, 5 Wyverns, and 20 Skeletons left; Gosha buys them back, and after a brief deliberation, he concedes.

Thanks for the game.

We used up all our rerolls and played randomly. We got, perhaps, the least interesting layout. However, after reaching level 115, I gathered 5 angels from 2 constellations, created 350 skeletons, and got decent stats. I retrained Animate Undead with Tanta, created 70 mana, and positioned myself on level 117, preparing for the Grand Order, which was immediately followed by wings. But the opponent didn't let me have fun in the center and conceded. Thanks for the game!

An incredibly long late game with a ton of mistakes, a truly exhausting game. I was a bit luckier and, with the help of Chaos Zone, managed to control the map.
Thanks for the game!

We chose all the rests. All 7 generations I spawned underground. In the last generation, Galtran arrived — that helped. Only one road. Linear heroes. I squeezed out the green computer (necro), built cavalry there at the Citadel. On day 112 I reached Dark's scout hero with two birds. Dark surrendered.

On level 111, I kill the Necropolis computer opponent. On level 112, I conquer a minor castle, and Shakter, with an Angel, attacks. Marius receives the Log. On level 113, I head to kill the orange Barbarian computer opponent, and Shakter goes to the second castle. The analysis showed that the castle has a level 2 creature, so on level 114, Shakter will likely have 3 Angels. The opponent unexpectedly decides not to continue. Thank you for your time!

Postmortem showed Griffin Conservatory level 2, i.e. by 114 Shakti will likely have 3 angels.

At the respawn, there's an external dwelling with angels, several hives, Griffin Conservatory 1, a necklace +3 all, then I also found the Sword of Justice. On day 123, I take a 3-stack Dragon Utopia; it gives a second necklace and the Tome of Air, so I cast Dimension Door home to refill mana. On day 125, I start clearing the center; it's going well, I learn all magic, the Sphere of Earth, I take the red orb, and in the dungeon I double mana. At the end of the week, I jump to the opponent, taking a Pandora's Box with 3 black dragons. On day 131, I run to the opponent's respawn; I wanted to get a scout item but forgot about movement points, and I didn't have enough to cast Town Portal home. The opponent shuts me down with Shackles of War (I already have one pair). Galtran has no Air or Earth magic, and neither did he get Attack, gg. Thanks for the game!
