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.

In general, my opponent took a rest on 111, and in the next game over 2 days didn't realize that his map would be terrible.
I, on the other hand, had an excellent draw. Lots of gold, scouting in all directions reported the presence of many Dragon Fly Hives, Mage Guilds, and refugee camps. Also pleasing was the sword +5 to all stats for a horde of Minotaurs. True, there wasn't really anywhere to level up; a promising Pandora's Box behind the Mummies turned out to be 5k gold. Still, by 122 Kyrre already had Mass Slow, having taken a Golem Factory on 121 for 2. I had big plans, but the opponent decided not to continue.
Thank you for the game!

Pit for LM
In general, my opponent took a rest on 111, and in the next match over 2 days didn't feel that his map would be terrible.
As for me, I got a great draw. Lots of gold, scouting in all directions reported the presence of plenty of Dragon Fly Hives, creature generators, and upgrades. I was also pleased with the sword +5 to everything from a horde of minotaurs. True, there wasn't much room to level up, a promising Pandora's Box behind the mummies turned out to be 5k gold. However, by 122 Kyrre still had mass Slow, having taken a golem factory on 121 at 2. I had big plans, but the opponent decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game!

That awkward case when the generator allowed neither a restart nor a game. Didn't take 111 because of Mephala, an easily obtained crown +4 and a well nearby, plus a decent road junction. Didn't take 112, because Mephala got Logistics, and I didn't want to be left without rests against their full set. Didn't take 113, because 111 was already taken, and it became completely clear that the map had no prospects. No caches, no gold, no banks that could theoretically be aimed at by 121. Army on 117: 1 Nix. Thanks for the game!

From the start: 20 pirates, Solmyr, quite a bit of gold, but crooked roads. At the respawn I found the Golden Bow for 80 fire elementals. Solmyr grabbed Earth and was promoted to daddy status, while Anabel with Logistics ran around for half the game as a pack mule. Built a Mage Guild with Resurrection in the dungeon and used Solmyr to take the Dragon Utopia in the first treasure zone on day 132 — got junk, of course. Then headed to the center, where I found full control. After that came heavy boosting of Titans, Monks, Cyclopes, and seizing castles. Assembled the Elixir, the Sniper's Bow — just right for Anabel. Funny thing, by week 3 the Cloak of the Undead King was almost assembled. In short, out-boosted the opponent.
Thanks for the game and for HotA in general ;) .

Started with 20 pirates, Solmir, quite a bit of money, but crooked roads. At the respawn, I found a golden bow behind 80 fire elementals. Solmir grabbed the land and was promoted to "papa", while Annabelle with logistics spent half the game running around as a own loser. Built GM with resurrect in the dungeon and with it took Solmir to the Dragon Utopia in the first treasure zone on 132 — they gave me crap, of course. Then I headed to the center, where I found full control. After that came intensive moshning of titans, monarchs, cyclops, and seizing castles. Collected an elixir, sniper bow — perfect for Annabelle. In general, out-moshed the opponent.
Thanks for the game and for HotA in general ;) .
We took all the rests, but only managed to start the game after 3 weeks :)

Tough start; on the plus side: an external dwelling of sailors and Derek in the tavern. Sailors are upgraded, resulting in a pretty dense stack. On the first week, seized Castle, scouted out unreachable spots: a "zephyr" under Wizard and two large workshops. Jeremy doesn't make it to the Rampart in time; the long road curls into a spiral. On the second, took the Rampart and Jeremy dives into the local treasure zone via a nearby tavern. In the treasure zone, KZ is visible under 50-99 Scorpicors and blocks, forced to split back to Castle. The castle's treasure zone is generous with workshops, several hives and "zephyrs" + TP from the shrine. There are places to mosh, however, unpleasant losses earlier and the trip to the blocked treasure zone already start to affect the tempo. I pick up remaining workshops on the surface; on the third, I approach the only Dragon Utopia — before it is a horde of upgraded Liches and a sword +5 to everything. In the utopia there's a "teapot".

Closer to the fourth, I realize that the opponent ate the center (as it turned out, full control was given there), I take a very small treasure zone under Rampart with KZ and only running towards Stronghold remains. The opponent uses DD to seize my own Wharf with Annabelle — Annabelle is seen accelerating on the previous turn, no point in defending. The army there is significantly larger, but I have decent stats. There's a faint hope that the opponent lacks a "red ball" or has an incredibly lucky Stronghold treasure zone. It doesn't turn out to be lucky, and as for the "red ball", Annabelle has it — right on target. GG.

Thanks for the game.

Game went very well all the way. Day 1 I saw 2 cons and got hack in tavern. Hack got earth and log early. 121 I could dbl mana in 2nd town and take a full hive. Then got 4 firebirds and 6 angels shortly after. Moved to a t-area that was pretty empty, but split army and found other area with boots some army, fly scroll and a tope that gave red orb.

I scouted more and and got new tope for earth book. Upgraded wyvs and went towards opponent with 12 angels, 10 giants and around 50 monarcs and clops. Went into monolit and there was opponent with a trap for my scout. I was clearly stronger and he gave up. Hack rules. TFP.

Even though I live on the coast, the generator has been very insistent lately that I read about the sea; it suggested to my opponent that he should read about more interesting topics. :eek:
Overall, regarding the game: on day 111, I got peppers, and then made my way to the computer dungeon. I teleported to an external dwelling of hydras. On days 121-122, due to a lack of money, I had to slow down. Towards the end of week two, things were going well, but my opponent with level 123 or 124 and full control ate his fill =). On day 132, after maxing out Dragon Utopia, without gaining control, he surrendered because my opponent already came with stats higher by 10 and 80+ monarchs.
Thank you for the game.

Although I live on the coast, the generator has been very insistent lately about reading about the sea, while it suggested my opponent read about more interesting topics. :eek:
Overall about the game: on 111 I took pearls, then broke through to the computer's dungeon. I portal'd an external dwelling of hydras. On 121-122, due to a lack of gold, I had to slow down. At the end of week 2, I had decent resources, but my opponent from 123 or 124 with full control feasted abundantly =). On 132, after maxing the Dragon Utopia, still not getting control, I surrendered. Since the opponent already came with stats higher by 10 and 80+ monarchs.
Thanks for the game.

I started playing without any rests, which was a bit unexpected.

On the first day, from the scout view, I see an external dwelling of serpents, КВ, and a couple of Dragon Fly Hives in my treasure zone, a stable. In the tavern, a mess with 3 stacks. Didn't feel like resting overall.
Jerry moved toward the КВ on 121. Just in time to expert earth magic before taking it. Easy full control on 123. Haven't had that in a while :) It would have been fine without it, but with it, even better! Found a water bottle and +4 all in another treasure zone. Farmed dragons, air elementals, and with parameters on 127, a Dragon Utopia. Gave +5 all. Out of all the Dragon Fly Hives, half were maxed, eventually accumulated 80+ dragons, 7 angels, and 35 cyclopes on top. Stats 20+. 500 mana. Burst into the opponent on 131 hot on the trail, and on 132 the opponent surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

The 6th round is coming to an end. Only one match, nik312-MikeM, hasn't been played yet, but they started late due to the delay in the 5th round, so we'll wait.

7th round pairings:

Intermediate pairing (winner vs. loser):
YaR - Maretti

Losers:
Pit for LM - WiZarDX_576
winner(nik312-MikeM) - Dandy

What I mean is, how will its result affect the players?
If the loser loses, they are eliminated from the tournament; if the winner loses, they become the loser. It all seems logical.

We played with Mike for four days, just so you know. We agreed to finish it tonight. Although, of course, there's no guarantee that we will.

We started playing immediately, no restarts: found an external dwelling of swordsmen, 6 heroes on the first day, Gurney and others. On the second day, scouted an external dwelling of horses and a Griffin Conservatory for 10-19 Master Genies. And on the third day, the crypt gave boots, Gurney got Log and Earth — luxury, brilliance. Built horses in the Citadel. In the adjacent zone, I found another Griffin Conservatory 3-4 (turned out to be max).
On 122, broke the Genies, took the first Griffin Conservatory, which turned out to be a level 1. Went to the second one. On 123, lost without a fight in the max-level Griffin Conservatory: 1 Angel, 5 Champions, 19 Crusaders. On 124-125, killed the remaining 16 Griffins with two Champions from the external dwelling, took two Air Elementals for a total of 12 Cyclopes, and went to the center. On 127, saw the opponent within Gurney's reach. Attacked the scout hero with meat — the opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game.
