We are planning a new tournament; we are still discussing the format and rules. I have provided a link to the rules here.

We are listening to the opinions of our players and others; the discussion is here:

Comrade Dau gave you incorrect information; you don't need to go to the Tribunal; you need to go here instead.

Thanks, I'll post it there then, since that's where it needs to be.

Charging in with Isora on balance :)

With Ufretin! At least it'll be a spectacle.

Generally, there is a sound point here; it's unclear how they differ so much from the free +1 def, +1 off... It's just that this would be a change to the game, and many will be against it)

On the Queen imho it's not necessary, on M-200 it makes sense (but everyone will be against it)
By the way, their dimensions always amused me — practically a Dragon Utopia or a Universal.

Add an option to remove heroes from the party (I'm sure comrade Wizard can implement this without any problems, judging by the work done on the War of Mages). Then, for the Rampart opponent, you could cut Kirry and Ivor (for example), or simply remove Galtran and Brohild. At the very least, it would diversify the game.

It would be good to go further. Limit all current top-tiers to level 5. Come up with something against "Marettism" — as an option, a limit on leveling all barbarians and beastmasters if the starting castle is not Strong/Swamp.
And preferably XL+U!!! Long live the Wars of Noobs!

Tournament "Heroes of Sword and Muscle"
Essence: All magic above the second level is banned. Always and everywhere. Using Death Wave is prohibited. Anti-magic is allowed.
Otherwise, rules are standard.
Magic from collections like AA and AOTD is allowed.

There's something to the idea of limiting it to monsters of level 3(4,5). Only a corresponding set of templates and banning some heroes would be needed.
And don't touch Septienna!

I have an idea for a pair tournament. It would be held using the 2x2 Teamwork tournament template. The basis for pairing teams would be the Heroes of Might and Magic rating. Registration should be open to players with a rating of 1600+. Players would register individually, not as teams. Then, based on the rating, half would be seeded players, and half would be unseeded. Pairs would be formed randomly from a seeded + unseeded player. The tournament would be held using the Swiss system, with a certain percentage of players being eliminated after 2-3 games and the pairs being reformed. And when 8 participants remain, the final pairing is formed, and the playoff games are played with a lower and upper bracket. For example: 40 participants register. 20 seeded and 20 unseeded form pairs, and for each round, the team is formed anew. 2-3 rounds are played in the Swiss system, with 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss for each player. Then, the 8 worst players are eliminated. Then, another 2-3 rounds are played, and so on, until 8 players remain. Then, the teams are formed permanently, and the playoffs begin. How interesting is this tournament format in general, or not?

A mix of game modes, one-for-all and 2v2, in my opinion, is unnecessary. There are also many inconsistencies, and teamwork, for example, proved to be a highly variable pattern. And players jumping back and forth – who would enjoy that? The criteria for identifying the worst players also raise questions. P.S. Will there be a Dirty 2v2 tournament?

How interesting is this tournament format in general?

This idea has already been considered. But most people expressed a preference for playing in a team with a trusted partner. After all, 2v2 involves constant communication with an ally, so it makes sense that you want to play and communicate with someone you enjoy. Although the idea of randomizing pairs each round is quite interesting.

P.S. Will there be a 2v2 tournament on the "Dirty" map?

I would like to hold a 2v2 tournament on a mirrored map, but unfortunately, there isn't one.

How about a tournament focused on reaching the center on Jebus?

Both players play with identical decks, separately.

But here's the problem...

How do you determine who reached the center better?

If you just consider speed, there will be many unrealistic plays that no one would make in a normal game. (when you need to not only reach the center but also kill someone there :smile47:)

And in games where there will be multiple center rushes in one day (and there will probably be many of those). How do you determine the winner? :smile32: Count the number of armies? Money? Stats?

It seems like a utopian idea. :confused:
