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!!!

On the 3rd week, I attacked an opponent, thinking he was an easy target (although his stats were quite good), because I periodically saw Kreg light up and noticed he was almost at the well, while the Alkin wasn't. But it turned out he had Oil and Expert Tactics, and I took very heavy losses from the first turn and later retreated. But then I managed to quickly find a teleportation scroll and a level 5 hat, which turned the tide, while my opponent chose different treasures. Thanks for the game.

On the 3rd week attacked my opponent thinking he was a noob Alkin (although his stats were solid), because periodically Kreg was visible and I saw he went into the well almost on the way, while Alkin did not. But it turned out there was oil and expert tactics, I took very heavy losses from turn 1 and retreated later. Then however I managed to quickly find a Town Portal scroll and a 5lvl hat, which decided the game, while my opponent chose other treasure zones. Thanks for the game.

on the 2nd, while Alkin with 3 angels was tearing apart the opponent's plane, Kreg with the rest of the power and oil was just running through the opposite treasure zone, where gloves and a Town Portal scroll were waiting for him, next in line was exactly the treasure zone with boots and a blue cap! but at that time on 125 Taz popped out of the teleport -- I thought he would keep running, at the cost of a trade, having bought a bunch of noobs (for which I had to dismiss several heavily leveled ones) I build a chain across the entire map to Conflux, which Taz should have barely missed reaching
but the opponent asked about red-rush, and upon learning it was allowed, turned around and left
on 131 I take a Dragon Utopia on the opponent's plane (shield with titan's helm and a bag) then 1st FF, before which the blue player demonstrated flight, I calculate where he got it, take the Dragon Utopia with wings there, while the opponent in the meantime reaches the treasure zone with a Dragon Utopia which gave a blue cap, and from a similar one Kreg left permanently
then with full control the blue player quickly fattened up and covered the carelessly exposed Alkin, who was trying to collect AoTD, and furthermore didn't have money to buy back immediately, and then morale with golden bow didn't allow him to escape

GG, thanks for the game :)

On turn 131, he initially spent all his time, and then, when he had no time left (timer 0), he was still fighting someone. In the end, he wrote GG. Thank you for the game!

Ranlu was the main hero for Amilu, although this is not very important. Thank you.

The trick is that these heroes can only be listed as main heroes in the reports – then the entire list is displayed. But they cannot be listed as starting heroes, because only the list of the specified castle is displayed, without the new heroes.

Added 4 hours 10 minutes later
Anyway, for some reason, a report about a game with a Wizard was recorded in my losses, even though both he and I deleted it. Please fix this.

I decided to play as Lords, but I forgot how to use them. These bastards didn't want to drink blood from zombies. Thanks for the game!

I confirm, I spent the timer, but I placed birds. However, on the very first day, I failed with a lock in the medusa lair, losing 1 bird and 3 psykers (went in without feeding), then I ran around, collected what I could, and leveled up a hero with earth magic, and went to the golem lair for luck - max. Well, I didn't make it out of there.
Thanks for the game.

Report canceled.

Basically, for some reason, a report about a game with Wizard was recorded in the loss column, even though both he and I deleted it. Please fix this.

It might be news to you, but when you delete a message with a report, it still remains. So next time, just write to me immediately about what needs to be deleted.

Decided not to fight for the color (for variety, before that I bought red in all games), gave it up for 800 gold.
A quite difficult map was generated, with a large number of strong blocks. In one direction - efreets, in another direction - a super fat treasure zone, in the third direction - a block into the treasure zone and an exit to the opponent.
I took my 111 on the opponent's starting creep, the opponent didn't take the cobra restart, - we played this deal.
From the very beginning, the paths diverged, the opponent went up through the efreet block (going around it, p.s. by the way, in HotA is it normal for 12 sultans to guard a campfire + a magic shrine??), I went to beat the opponent on the swamp (dock).
Decided to play bears in a castle, so in the first week I focused on the economy, because the map is poor and there are many blocks. I was almost 100% sure that the opponent wouldn't go for this build, and I would make up for the tempo loss with three bears on 121, fortunately there were many objects. The gold mine near the opponent + the prefecture on 113-114 helped a lot. Surprisingly, the bears in the castle felt almost comfortable.
Through the opponent, I jump into that very super treasure zone (already on the opponent's side), eat it completely in four days, + on the neighboring location I also eat a Griffin Conservatory three, at this time the opponent arrives in my super treasure zone, - I immediately check that there is even less gold there than my 800 gold, break Kirr back home, 3k MP allows me to reach the creep (a chain if the creep went further was prepared in advance), in the final battle there is a threefold army advantage, after a couple of turns a surrender follows.

Thanks for the game!

One Kirr is in prison, and the other has the great Rylund.., seems like on the first week I did everything I wanted and scouted more, but on the second week the log already decided, and I didn't reach the saving hives, thanks for the game, yes

Started playing SoD, found a necropolis, got some necro villages, built up the upgrades, ran around with own units; the map turned out to be quite poor, but my home Mage Guild gave me both Town Portal and Dimension Door. The opponent remained a loser with meat in the city, so I crushed him immediately, although the advantage in one's army would have allowed winning a regular final battle too. Thanks for the game.

We started playing SoD, I dug up a Necropolis, got Necropolis villages, built up the statics, ran around with Necropolis, the map turned out to be quite poor, but the home Mage Guild gave both Town Portal and Dimension Door, the opponent remained a noob with meat in the town, I immediately steamrolled him, although the meat advantage would have allowed winning even a regular final fight, thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.
