It’s funny because it’s 90% a clone of the sixth game.

It's funny because it's 90% a clone of the sixth game.

I don't know about others, but the sixth game put me off with its overloaded creature abilities and the inability to upgrade a hero from another Faction, hence the strong attachment to the native city. This reduces variability; there's no point in building another city.
Based on what I've seen, if there are banks where you can get creatures and a random map generator, it will become a game worth paying attention to.

It was off-putting due to the overwhelming number of creature abilities.

There is such a problem, and the reason is that they meticulously detailed every status in the creature abilities – living, undead, flying, water resistance, and other unnecessary stuff.
In my opinion, the main problem remains unresolved – the idiotic division of units into tiers (core-elite-champion). As a result, all units of a similar tier are the same, have identical stat increases, deal the same damage to each other, and bash each other for ten years, while ranged units in this system are simply no-damage dealers. Any battle boils down to abusing certain abilities and slowly clearing the battlefield with a "fork."
It's strange that the developer made concessions after the whining of old-school fans, returning resources and removing the conversion of dwellings and castles (?), but left this mess. Apparently, they still believe in the genius of this system, invented by some strange, lisping role-playing vice president of the department of fat cats, who is obsessed with "racial integrity," adorns skeletons with trinkets, and wants "every unit to have a place."
By the way, the skill wheel is no different from the columns and rows in Heroes 6.

Who banned Lizard? :D His wife?

I was banned from the match.

Oh, I played a GR yesterday with some guy on Two Minutes. I'll tell you, your carefully calibrated turns of 10-20 minutes each don't come anywhere close in terms of tension and intensity in the game. What I realized is that the rules aren't as important or necessary with a small time control. Because you just don't have enough time to implement all that. And thinking — there's just not enough time for it... ))
In short, the game generated a bunch of troglodyte dwellings for me, it was just insane, an uber stack. I came to him, took his Castle, killed 8 Angels there, he couldn't handle it, the noob) well, I was already sure I had won. Next to him, he had a Fort on a hill and he hadn't upgraded his Archangels. I was in shock. Well, without a logbook, I'm chasing him, at least from stables now. I went and revealed the Cartographer. In short, I'm absolutely sure it's over, GG is a formality. I'm going, going, and he dives into the underground, and there's a Dragon Utopia. Well, so what, of course it gave decent stat boosts. 32 Attack, damn. I attack him the next turn, he buys himself out. Oh my god. I run back to defend the Castle, but he gets there faster from another town with a noob army, splitting it up and setting his main hero there. OK. I have a bigger army, I attack, but I have half the mana. Resurrection and the fact that he could resurrect his own units from killed ones decided it. In short, as I understand it, he has the basic version of Armageddon's Blade and SoD on top of it, Griffin Conservatories, damn, giving 5 Angels per 20 in a stack, what nonsense. And in the battle, his unit died, then mine in the same spot. I thought he wouldn't be able to resurrect, but he could — because of that, I had to retreat... And from a won game, it became a losing one. Now I'm somewhere in the IB...s, trying to play myself out. But it seems nothing's looking good anymore. I have a ton of armies at home, but no money. For some reason, I can't get to the lucrative spots with piles of Dragon Utopias, either it's a generation bug, or the generator in Armageddon's Blade is different from the SoD one, or he rigged something in the RMG. Because the template was 8mm6, without computers, he created it, but it didn't look very similar, and treasure zones were blocked by mountains. We played by his rules without Dimension Door, Fly, and Diplomacy — everything else is ALLOWED.
So that's how it is.

I was also surprised that the ground-based Cartographer revealed an Inferno respawn underground. Well, I just didn't know that.

And the first game, of course, I took him apart like a kitten :D In the late game of the second, I didn't expect him to play like that.

There's something special about this blitz. Completely different impressions from the game.

This should be in the funny and amusing stories section.

Well, something like that. Considering that my mouse also glitched very often, I had to unplug it from the USB port for 2-3 seconds, and then it would start working again. But since this wasn't a gameplay moment, I didn't mention it :D

Both laughter and tears. Saratov media subtly mocks the Russian "Information Law." It is likely that soon all Russian crime news will look similar.
Schoolgirl hospitalized after a quarrel with her parents

On September 11, a 16-year-old girl was hospitalized from her home on Penzenskaya Street in Saratov. The eleventh-grader (according to Article 15 of the Information Law, the media is prohibited from publishing information about methods of committing suicide, as well as calls to commit suicide) did something because of (according to Article 15 of the Information Law, the media is prohibited from publishing information about methods of committing suicide, as well as calls to commit suicide).

In Saratov, after a quarrel with her parents, a schoolgirl did something for certain reasons

Also, during the past weekend, other events occurred, the content of which cannot be disclosed in accordance with Article 15 of the Information Law, which prohibits the media from publishing information about methods of committing suicide, as well as calls to commit suicide.

I would like to see a tournament with an entry fee, but let's say players are divided into tiers through voting, and the entry fee depends on their seeding. Then, for example, by advancing from the group stage, you win back a certain percentage of the entry fee (although, of course, managing the prize pool in this scenario would be a hassle). This would give players like me, who are in the middle of the pack, a reason to participate. In general, something along those lines, to add some excitement.

I have a question! I was creating a vacation schedule for work and I wondered when the CIS 2016 tournament is planned and where it will be held? Which month should I take off?))) If anyone has any information, please share!))
P.S. I understand that it might be too early to talk about it, but still!)

The CIS tournament has always been in the first few days of May. I don't think this time will be an exception.

As for the location, it seems they were planning to hold it in St. Petersburg.

If that’s the case, then it’s fine! Thanks for the info.

For programmers from Russia http://codeforces.com/blog/entry/20769, let me know who will participate; I'll be rooting for you :smile27:, or at least who will be improving their skills there; I'll be cheering for you to become a red grandmaster.

I also once wanted to find and quote those who said "I am not me, and this house is not mine," but it became way too much of a hassle.
