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!!!

bought the color and hero for 2000. On the first one, I took an infa and 2 tavers. Put ifrits in the infas with an external dwelling, also took another 2 external dwellings of gogs. In the first taver, I wanted to plug in gigs, but it didn't go through due to bablo.

On 121 Calh breaks a double cons near the house, Das punches through 60-70 fires for clues, and spends the night there. Then I take a 3/3 shield and crash into the second taver, run toward the trezh on the grass where boots are visible. Meanwhile, Valeska takes another double cons at home, and in the zone of the 2nd taver there is another cons off-road, where he built a chain, with Geon at the tip. I took 4 angels, 12 ifrs, 65 magogs, single units of gr.garg. Cons maxi with a gr.stack. There was initial earth, so 4 slow was enough. Misclicked one gargoyle, killing it against the gr.stack, but got away with 2 ifrs and 30 magogs. Das breaks the maxicyclops with kings, bursts onto the grass and takes the boots, having expert logi. On the grass there are 2 workshops, a sliver of the Dragon Utopia is visible, which I plan to take since I have both expert shield and leather. I bring golems from the tavers and go for the utopias. Turned out there were 3 on the way and one in the field. In the very first one they give КЗ, although 19 mana remained after the 1st utopia; the next day I eat another 2 and hit the dungeon in this zone for mana. Meanwhile Calh bursts onto the stone trezh, something around the 2nd taver. There are a bunch of zephyrs and hives. I buy out Korbak so he can collect all the goods off-road without penalty. While he was breaking everything there, he leveled up quite a bit, catching earth, attack, and logu. Then I return the moshna to Das, who finishes the last utopia, and there is КВ - beauty. The horror begins. I put gigs in both tavers, castles in the infas. Das, Calh, Korbak collect everything they see, and they see a hell of a lot. On 131 I already decide to go to the opp, since I have 11 titans with goldbow and expert archery. Through the stones I get to the swamp (the zone goes from the 1st taver) - there are a bunch of hives, +2 speed, cloak of silence, workshop. I collect everything both there and in my own zone. In the zone of the 1st taver there are 2 external dwellings of gigs for 20-49 gr.psychs and 10-19 scorpions. From the 2nd infa is a road to the trezh on the sand. There are 3-4 zephyrs and clues. First I occupy the city on the stones near the opp - he hadn't been there yet, I collect everything, then take the 2nd taver and the dungeon on the grass - didn't make it to the utopias. Nimus tries to run away. I continue collecting clues, cons, zephyrs, workshops. In the end, in the trezh on the mud from the 1st taver, the opp takes a chest for 20-49 nags and a scroll for 5-9 bone ones and doesn't have time to return the moshna. But this basically played no role; the main thing is that he stayed in that zone and I didn't need to chase him anymore. I cover him with 20 titans, 75 ducks, 64 cycles, 21 sultan, 100 magogs.

Thanks for the game.

bought the color and hero for 2000. On the first one, I took info and 2 taverns. Put ifrits in the info with an external dwelling, also took 2 more external dwellings of gogs. In the first tavern, I wanted to plug in gigs, but didn't have enough gold.

On 121 Calh breaks a double cons near home, Das breaks through 60-70 fires for clues, and spends the night there. Then I take a 3/3 shield and crash into the second tavern, run to the treasure on the grass where boots are visible. Meanwhile, Valeska takes another double cons at home, and in the zone of the 2nd tavern there is another cons off-road, where I built a chain, with Geon at the tip. I took 4 angels, 12 ifrs, 65 magogs, single units of gr.garg. Cons max with gr.stack. There was starting earth, so 4 slow was enough. Misclicked one gargoyle, killing it against the gr.stack, but got away with 2 ifrs and 30 magogs. Das breaks the maxi-cyclops with kings, bursts onto the grass and takes the boots, having expert logistics. On the grass there are 2 workshops, a edge of the Dragon Utopia is visible, which I plan to take since I have both expert shield and leather. I bring golems from the taverns and go for the utopias. Turned out there were 3 on the way and one in the field. In the very first one they give КЗ, although 19 mana remained after the 1st utopia; the next day I eat another 2 and hit the dungeon in this zone for mana. Meanwhile Calh bursts onto the stone treasure, something around the 2nd tavern. There are a bunch of zephyrs and hives. I buy out Korbak so he can collect all the goods off-road without penalty. While he was breaking everything there, he leveled up quite a bit, catching earth, attack, and log. Then I return the power to Das, who finishes the last utopia, and there is КВ - beauty. The horror begins. I put gigs in both taverns, castles in info. Das, Calh, Korbak collect everything they see, and they see a lot. On 131 I already decide to go to the opp, since I have 11 titans with goldbow and expert archery. Through stones I get to the swamp (the zone goes from the 1st tavern) - there are a bunch of hives, +2 speed, cloak of silence, workshop. I collect everything both here and in my own zone. In the zone of the 1st tavern there are 2 external dwellings of gigs for 20-49 gr.psychs and 10-19 scorpions. From the 2nd info is a road to the treasure on sand. There are 3-4 zephyrs and clues. I first occupy the town on stones near the opp - he hadn't been there yet, I collect everything, then take the 2nd tavern and dungeon on the grass - didn't make it to the utopias. Nimous tries to run away. I continue collecting clues, cons, zephyrs, workshops. In the end, in the treasure on mud from the 1st tavern, the opp takes a chest for 20-49 nags and a scroll for 5-9 bone ones and doesn't have time to return the power. But this basically played no role, the main thing is that he stayed in that zone and I didn't have to run after him anymore. I cover him with 20 titans, 75 ducks, 64 cycles, 21 sultan, 100 magogs.

Thanks for the game.

In the Facebook game, we just kept using Implosion; out of 4 opponents, 3 of them reflected it with 20% resistance.

Thanks for the game!

Nice start for me with 2x350 gold heroes and Alkin/Miriam,so I decided to play it.Expanded as far as I could week1,gathered a lot of money,enough to build giants+citadel.I took 100 griffin con 121,wolf raider bank,then full con @ 122,minimum golem bank.123 one more hive,2 more wolf banks.124 I prepared to enter utopia,next day I took it without losses,but it gave nothing useful.Same day meeting with opponent,fortunately he didnt have mass slow so I won.1:0

I'd seriously consider adding technical restart to the rules. This is way too unfair to lose a game like that,what can a player do to compensate such thing?

Bad desicion at start, and late logistic on main hero also didnt help much.

In this final game I made some terrible mistakes,in general I was not proud of my performance.Still I managed to have decent speed having all hives,2 giant banks and 1 con taken by 124.Then I attacked horde sorceresses for utopia but lost too much,and remaining 22 wyverns+3 giants was not enough for anything.I continued play hoping opponent doesnt have mass haste to beat those sorceresses,but he had it and took tope also (lvl5 hat). Opponent played well and deserved victory here,but that joke of 2nd game completely ruined the fun for me.I wish you luck in future games :)

on day 4, the opponent catches my half army and 2 of my heroes through a portal in a 1:1 situation.

I'd seriously consider adding a technical restart to the rules. This is way too unfair to lose a game like that; what can a player do to compensate for such a thing?

It was a fast game; I quickly made my way through all the guards, immediately found a log on the Jabberwock, and significantly outpaced my opponent. As a result, I jumped into a teleport through the company zone, although it was unexpected for myself, and killed a large army piece by piece.
A restart wasn't requested because it was a mirror match, and the opponent didn't see any point in continuing.

Thanks for the game!

I should have listened to Mikhail right away and focused on building Mary. Instead, I only found a main hero by level 116 (while gathering resources, I accidentally leveled up Log). In the end, it made a big difference that I took my utopia with acceptable losses, while the opponent could only break through the guard (90+ sorceresses) on level 131 due to color advantage. He took the opponent's utopia and his main hero with a bonus. There was nothing left to defend with, and besides, the opponent didn't try to break through the basilisks guarding the teleportation scroll, which also decided the outcome. 2-1, GG WP, a hard-fought victory :)

Thank you for the games!

bought color + hero for 2600, got Kyrre and Ivor scratched, the map turned out very poor, blocked one direction, but overall acceptable, at 112 I broke a chest for 50 Centaurs and lit a quick portal behind the wood to the opponent's base, but the opp didn't have any luck, thanks for the time.

bought the color + hero for 2600, got Kyrre and Ivor crossed out, the map turned out to be very poor, blocked one direction, but in principle acceptable, on day 112 opened a box of 50 Centaurs and set up a quick portal behind the wood to the opponent, but my opponent had a bad run, thanks for the time. We played by the standard bo1

Confirmed, didn't get properly set up for the game.

We played a rather difficult game. On the way up - a block of Energy, down - also Energy, though not as many, and easy to bypass. To the left towards the exit - Gogs, into the portal - a horde of Zombies, down - Demons. Interestingly, two treasure zones were Lava zones. On day 111, I didn't fight anyone, split into 6 heroes.
On day 112, I cast View Air at my respawn and see the red player through the mountains. Wonder what their army is like??? Kyrre got stuck at a block in the treasure zone, turned back.
On day 113, I manage to peek - up to 20 Demons, up to 20 Gogs. So, they sacrificed a bunch of Demons (I have 70+) and a couple of Gogs. That's good. Turns out the opponent sacrificed everything else this turn (on 50 Mages), ending up with 7 Magogs...
On day 114, after recruiting Efreeti, I break into the treasure zone on the left. There's a Dragon Fly Hive, Pandora's Box behind Devils, Bracers of Defense.
On day 115, I captured a village there, cast View Air. Dragon Utopia, another Pandora's Box. But the most interesting things are Shield +4 to all stats behind 50- Unicorns and Helm +6 to all stats behind 50- Wyverns. Pyre got Earth magic, there's an external dwelling of Gogs, so claiming these artifacts by the second week might be possible.
On day 116, I took the Dwarf Cottage on 15 under Castle control. Gave Pyre Tactics.
And on day 117, I rushed to the treasure zone down towards the Pandora's Boxes. Meanwhile, Shakti, thanks to Expert Tactics, easily broke through the horde of Archers and captured the Barbarian's Castle. There's 2000 gold there. Need to level Pyre somehow... Build order - up to Citadel.
On day 121, I have to build Marketplaces to be able to buy properly. Next, I hit the 66 Ghosts guarding the Zeffir, don't go into the Zeffir itself, too little speed, and all my mana was stolen. I attack the Trolls guarding the Pandora's Box. There are unexpectedly exactly 49 of them. Fortunately, the terrain was good, so I escaped them with the loss of 1 Pit Fiend and most of the Cerberi. Inside the Pandora's Box - 20 Asids.
Next, I fairly easily break through 60+ Basilisks. They give 10k experience, I level up all the necessary skills. Just in case, I take 1 Serpent from the external dwelling, grab the Dragon Fly Hive for 8, where I sacrificed almost all Demons.
On day 123 - Mana Well, learn Slow in the Barbarian town, run for the Shield. Along the way, I grab the Bracers, but they won't be needed. I also break into zone 8. There are 2 more Dragon Fly Hives there. I slowly start raising Demons, but there are hardly any troops to sacrifice.
On day 124, I take the Shield, split up for the Helm.
On day 125, Kyrre grabs two Dragon Fly Hives, giving 4+12 Wyverns. Next, I grab the Helm, split up and head home, refill mana. Need to grab a couple of Pandora's Boxes, the Dragon Utopia, and hope for map control to be able to attack at the start of week 3.
On day 126, I clean up the Naga Bank for 4, the last Dragon Fly Hive for 6, get 15k gold from the Pandora's Box behind Devils, break through 7 Angels for another one right next to the Dragon Utopia.
On day 127, I take the Box - got all Air Magic! I enter the Dragon Utopia, lose half the Demons and 1 Efreet, get Tomes of Fire and Water, and the Recanter's Cloak. I split up in the Barbarian town, prepare the attack.
On day 131, I pick up growth, use Fly to get near the portal leading to the opponent's respawn. The Kettle is not broken. I take it. Dimension Door to the village near the Shield - it's not even colored. I build a Tavern, grab the Dragon Fly Hive for 6, chase away their hero, build a path to the Shield.
Seeing this outrage, the opponent capitulates.
Thank you for the game!

Thank you for the game!

We agreed on the game in advance, and it was inconvenient to reschedule it. I played well for the first week, even though I had a fever. The situation was challenging, and I made many mistakes. Today, we continued from turn 121. My main hero wasn't Marusia, but Nimues. Marusia was given water twice, and Nimues arrived on turn 121. When she attacked the dwarf on level 2, she received the Earth skill. I played well for the second week, but such opponents don't forgive mistakes.
Thank you for the game.
