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!!!

Judging by the tournament reports, the skill level of the registered participants is... ... ... . Just enough to avoid getting banned.

Oh, damn it, here he is – the tournament favorite! )))))
Kostya, be more easygoing – does this mean I shouldn't register for tournaments just because I'm not very skilled?

The start didn't go well, I couldn't get a proper expansion, and in the end, a simple mistake with an unexplored external dwelling of Liches. That was just enough to break through the guard of the passage. By the end of the week, an army of 10 Beholders. But Vampires were built in the secondary town, and the Viper dwellings in the fort. The opponent went for Hydras in the Castle. Not bad either))

On 121, I immediately go to break 3 Griffin Conservatories. All big ones. In the end, thanks to two heroes with Logistics, I managed to outmaneuver and even found a scroll with Dimension Door, which the opponent had managed to reveal. The decisive factor was a Dragon Utopia captured on enemy territory. Although not a fat one, still a +4 All shield is an 8-point advantage across all stats.

The finale didn't happen. I went to attack and ran into a folder with a Nymph in the village.

Thanks for the game.

The start didn't go well, I couldn't get any momentum, and in the end, a banal mistake with an unexplored external dwelling of lizards. That was exactly what was missing to properly break through the passage guards. By the end of the week, my army consisted of 10 lizards. However, vampires are built up in the secondary town, and Viva's houses are in the fort. The opponent went for hydras in the castle. Also not bad))

On 121 I go straight to break 3 cons. All large ones. In the end, thanks to two heroes with logy, I managed to grind it out and even found a scroll with DD, which the opponent had already spotted. The deciding factor was the Dragon Utopia snatched from enemy territory. Although not "fat," a +4 all shield is an advantage of 8 across all stats.

The finale never happened. I went to kill and stumbled upon a folder with a nymph in the village.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm. The first week went well - I captured all secondary towns, scouted 3 cons, which I took at the start of the second... then around 125-126 I found a DD scroll, but I couldn't really capitalize on it - and in the end, I missed the Dragon Utopia, which was in a previously unchecked treasure zone. After that, I felt I started falling behind in development - and eventually got caught out in the village.
Thanks for the game.

Opa had a better start, but the timer did its dirty work, attacked Gundula with a powerful unit without artifacts, and got shackled by the hero.
Thanks for the game!

We started playing without resets, 2 native heroes appeared in the tavern, and the starter drop was Frog. Opponent had Crag Hack lit up, but still lots of orcs — cool, decided to play. On the first turn, I sent horses to scout the respawn, Frog to the stables, freed a hero from prison (Tant 1 lvl), and with necro greed went into the dragonflies on 28 orcs. 34 snakes gave quite a shave + 2 deaths' morale, and barely scraped through on 8 orcs, but the birds and all the other flies remained, so with those got through without much trouble and into the second secondary. Result: 117 bears in the Citadel, 3 towns (Conflux\Cove) and 2.5k income. Then cleared what was on the road in the swamp, shopped up, and went into the third treasure from the Cove. Turned out to be Grindan (5 lvl) with expert Earth and Wisdom :smile54: . Boosted up, almost reached the village. Next on the plan were Griffin Conservatories and the journey into the third treasure for Conflux, but GG happened.

Thanks for the game=)

Started playing without rests, 2 native dwellings appeared in the tavern, and Frog came out as the starter. Opponent had Crag glowing, but still a lot of orcs — cool, decided to play. On the first day, sent horses to scout the respawn, Frog to the stables, rescued a hero from prison (Tant lvl 1), and with a necro feast pushed onto 28 orcs against dragonflies. 34 snakes shaved quite a bit + 2 bad morals and barely crawled out with 8 orcs, but birds and all the rest of the mob remained, so with that I broke through without too much trouble into the second secondary. Total: 117 bears in the citadel, 3 castles (Conflux/Dock) and 2.5k income. Then cleared what was on the road to the swamp, bought up, and pushed into the third from the dock. There was Grindan (lvl 5) with expert Earth and Wisdom :smile54:. Got moving, almost reached the village. Next on the plan were conservatories and a trip to the third for Conflux, but GG came.

thanks for the game=)

I confirm.
Unlike the opponent, couldn't break through the dragonflies, lost the army. Held out until the second week, but it didn't work out.
Thanks for the game.

Quite a tough poor start. Managed to slot the pits in the citadel. Spent all of week 2 reaching the opponent's Inferno via off-road. As it turned out, it wasn't for nothing. Found boots there, a demon external dwelling, and consu 2-4. Took the max on 131, while Tazar snatched the main. I turn around with angels, take the city back, and on the way ate a Pandora's box for full air. Then via DD I catch the opponent during their ramp-up and my army is already at their main. Thanks for the game!

Pretty tough poor start. Managed to stick pits in the Citadel. Spent the entire 2nd week getting to the Inferno computer's base through wasteland. As it turned out - not for nothing. Found boots there, an external dwelling of demons, and a Griffin Conservatory 2-4. On 131 took the maximum, meanwhile Tazar took the main. I turn around with angels, take the town back, on the way ate a Pandora's Box for all Air magic. Then through Dimension Door I cover the opponent on the run and the army is already on his main. Thanks for the game!

the start is really poor but I like such games. on the first pits and efreets without a Citadel. pressed on the sand for more gold and traded for color 1000.
127 I count steps for 10 minutes to take the opponent's main. I'm missing 65 MP on the way, exactly one step short 131 he moves the army out.
I beat off +3 +3 luck/morale.
after a couple of days with DD he catches the main and scout hero. tazarr could at least have defended better but lvl 1 dragon did nothing.

didn't expect his DD.

thanks for the game :smile54:

p.s. it was a CHALLENGE game :) inferno + sod vs amillo. :smile31: didn't work out:smile06:

Did you fall off a bridge? I don't see anything in the regulations about playing 2 games per week during the group stage. None of my opponents contacted me, and I didn't rush, but now what, I have to tear my ass off? Try to play during the week (I'm busy on Friday and Saturday)? You're also playing in my tournament...

Have you fallen off a bridge? I didn't see anything in the regulations about playing 2 games a week each during the group stage. None of my opponents contacted me, and I wasn't in a hurry, but now what, should I rush? Try to play during the week (I'm busy on Fridays and Saturdays)? You're also playing in my tournament...

I warned you in posts #189 and #191. And if your opponents didn't contact you, but they still played their games, maybe it's not their fault? Contact them, start playing at least the first game.

With the help of 2 Necromancer secondary units, I successfully advanced to the opponent's side, captured a Dungeon, sent a unit for scouting, and attacked on the next turn. The advantage in Cyclops units made a difference. Thank you for the game.
