You asked if FB-on is available... :smile17:
The participants in FB-8 are: Maretti, Aiwe, Stinger, Joker2k, KobRa_RR, God, Javdet, BISHOP, Sanin, and zloy_romantik.
I ask each of these players to confirm their participation within 3 days by clicking the "Register for Tournament" button, which Kostya will add to the thread soon.
I. Regulations and Deadlines
FB-9 will be held as a round-robin tournament, meaning that each participant must play against every other player, and the winner will be the one with the most points.
The tournament starts on September 21, 2015; there are 2 weeks per round. Players have 3 days to agree on a time to play. However, if 2 players cannot find a common time, EACH sends the organizer 3 options for when they are ready to play, but no less than 4 hours (if a player does not send their time, then the time sent by his opponent takes priority). If the times do not match at all, it is scheduled by the organizer - from Saturday night to Sunday (from 9 PM Moscow time and at least 4 hours).
To avoid conflict situations, all players must save game saves and logs of correspondence, based on which the organizer and judges can make a decision regarding the outcome.
Each round is played STRICTLY according to the results of the draw; playing earlier is prohibited due to the inadmissibility of the situation where someone has already played 8 matches, while another has only played 2. Reports about games submitted late will be canceled.
Deadlines for rounds will be observed VERY strictly; those who miss them will face severe penalties, regardless of authority.:smile29:

II. Rules and Templates.
1. Version for SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD-mod with HW-Rules patch version 1.34 enabled; tents, forts, and cartographers – checked; second level building and obelisks – disabled. (If both parties wish, you can play on other rule versions)
The turn time for each template varies and may change by mutual agreement.
3. The template for the round is determined randomly from 9 templates: 2sm4d3, 8xm12a, skirmish (200%), 6lm10a, JC, 8mm6a, anarchy (random 200%), diamond, Mini nostalgia. Blue starts first (the player indicated in the draw as second).
By mutual agreement, it is allowed to play on any other template.
Cities are chosen using the standard randomizer.
4. Victory earns 3 points, a draw earns 1 point, and defeat earns 0 points.
5. Players receive numbers randomly during the draw.
6. If 2 or more players score the same number of points, the following indicators will be used to determine placement:
a) Berger coefficient
b) Head-to-head result

III. Organizational Issues
1. This is an official, regular tournament.
2. The tournament is held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
3. Tournament organizer - zloy_romantik (296524052)
Tournament judges Pit for LM (471401475), Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873).
4. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation.
5. All games in the tournament go into the seasonal rating. Reports and confirmations are written in this thread and will be copied into the "Reports of online games and their confirmations" thread. That is, there is no need to duplicate reports in the season.
6. A player who does not finish the tournament and withdraws without a VERY valid reason loses the right to participate in the next OFB and beyond :)

The randomizer has assigned players as follows:
1-BISHOP
2-KobRa_RR
3-Javdet
4-God
5-Maretti
6-Joker2k
7-Sanin
8-zloy_romantik

I spent a long time gathering my cons and hives, but I quickly found the right parameters and control. My opponent is positioned in the center with lower stats and an army – I’m moving to engage. No need for a final attack.

Thank you for the game.

Thank you for the game.
Empty treasure chests and zero center.

Thanks for the game!

Haven't played SM in a long time... well, now I have :)
As for the layout, both had plenty; the opponent got more from caches, while I got one-timers. But control was a disaster. In my 2.5 treasure zones there was no control at all, there was a DD in the ramp, but I was building a guild in Necro, whereas the opponent had wings in the underground, and the Dragon Utopia with the cap (and a TP scroll nearby) was located behind such detours that getting to it (for both me and the opponent) was only possible with control, so in perspective, I would have still lost here without control.
However, it didn't come to that; I attacked 147, believing that 14 Archangels were a serious argument, failing to consider that Kreg with a bunch of meat would beat them even under the course given equal stats. But the main fail was not knowing that having demons in the opponent's army would give him the ability to see quicksand even after the demons died (like with pegasi and mages, although this isn't mentioned in PhysMig). And in the end, Minotaurs and Ogres were still able to take down the Archangels even on a sanded battlefield (though the opponent already used teleport on the final blow). If I had traded off even one Archangel, the fun would have continued further - I would have taken the Book of Fire in my treasure zone, and then Mass Berserk and Armageddon with resistance artifacts - and who knows how that would have ended. Thanks for the game.

Haven't played skirmish in a while... so I played one. :)
Both sides have plenty of resources; my opponent also has a stash of gold, while I have a surplus of supplies. However, the control situation is tricky. I had no control on my 2.5 resource nodes; there was only a damage dealer in the ramp, and I was building a guild in the Necropolis. My opponent, on the other hand, had Wings in the Underground and a Kraken with a Crown (and a Teleport scroll nearby), positioned in such a way that it could only be reached with control, for both of us. So, in the long run, I would have lost anyway without control.
However, it didn't come to that. I attacked on day 147, believing that 14 Archdevils were a serious argument, but I didn't take into account that Kreg, with a lot of meat, would deal significant damage even under a Curse spell, given equal stats. However, the main mistake was not knowing that having Demons in the opponent's army would allow him to see the Quicksand even after the Demons die (like with Pegasi and Mages, but this is not mentioned in the physics guide). As a result, the Minotaurs and Ogres were able to defeat the Archdevils even on the quicksand battlefield (although, on the last attack, the opponent already used Teleport). If I had bought off at least one Archdevil, the game would have continued, and I would have taken the Book of Fire from my resource node, and then mass Berserkers and Armageddon with buffs on resistance - and it's hard to say how it would have ended. Thanks for the game.
Maybe it's not about the physics guide, but about the Demons' native ground?

I knew about the home ground, so I killed the demons before casting Sandstorm.

The best generation ever (it happened 6 times, including replays): 2 packs of runners, 2 groups of 35 orcs from pandoras on the first level, followed by 10k experience, +10 hat, doubling, 5 angels, and completing the entire 5th level with giants, oh yeah, and +3 speed, I almost forgot). While I was gathering all this, I only reached level 123, and then I got boots from a skeleton, so there were no more doubts about the outcome. Next, +10 spell power, and the imp was already at 1.5k. There was a Knight with respawn there, but that was it. Thanks for the game!

Rampart without speed boots isn't very good.
Thanks for the game.

They played quickly and efficiently, even finishing with time to spare, excellent.
The draw for round 2 will be in one post, the round will last until October 19, but it may be extended slightly due to the St. Petersburg offline event (if it actually takes place).

There was supposed to be an easy match with 3 Necromancers and 4 Fortress units, but my opponent forfeited. Thanks for your time!
