"We built and built, and finally we built it."
In connection with the release of simultaneous turn gameplay, a tournament is announced to introduce players to this technology and test the software.
1. The tournament is unofficial.
Game version: HotA + HDmod + HWrulez (latest versions everywhere).
2. Templates:
4 templates will be determined by coin flip. A template is generated once before bidding because there is a mirror in the pool. If Mirror appears, then a regular bid takes place.
00 - Jebus
01 - Mini-Nostalgia
10 - Nostalgia
11 - h3dm1
The choice of templates is due to their non-contact nature, which allows simultaneous turns to fully demonstrate themselves.
The Nostalgia template uses the HotA version – [HotA]Nostalgia; compared to the SoD version, the road balance has been adjusted – both players always have roads to all their camps, as well as a road between players through ГО. This is also new technology that needs testing.
3. /topic/11418/ link to the rules for HotA. There are differences from SoD, so if you don't know them, it is advisable to read them.
You can read a mini manual on Simultaneous Turn here:

Simultaneous turn time and timer for templates:
7 days for Jebus Cross 25:00 + 10:00 + 1.30
14 days for Mini-Nostalgia 20:00 + 08.30 + 1.15
14 days for Nostalgia 23:00 + 09:00 + 1.15
10 days for h3dm1 (on medium roads) 25+10+1.30
I added a little more time to the timer because it is very difficult to immediately get used to simultaneous turns.
In simultaneous turn gameplay, a "soft landing" is implemented – interrupting the simultaneous turn when players come into contact by replaying the last move of the blue player. Therefore, even if you meet earlier than the specified time, nothing terrible will happen. But it's better without it, as this interferes with the gameplay, which is why there is a limit on the duration of the simultaneous turn.
4. Castle selection - randomizer + bidding. A random pair of castles is generated, after which players begin to bid for the right to choose – either the castle or the color. The winner transfers the amount of their last bid to the opponent before the start of the game. For example:
Inferno vs Tavern was generated.
Vasya:
100
Petya:
200
Vasya:
300
Petya:
400
Vasya:
pass
Petya:
I take red color
Vasya:
I take Inferno
As a result, Petya plays red Tavern with 9600 starting gold, and Vasya plays blue Inferno with 10400 starting gold.
Either player can request a re-generation of the castles once by paying 500 gold for it. If, after re-generation, at least one of the castles matches those that were before re-generation, then you can request another re-generation for free.
By mutual agreement, you can choose castles in other ways - draw, double bidding (for the castle and for the color separately), all random, etc.
Roads – fast for Jebus Cross and Nostalgia, medium for Mini-Nostalgia.
5. Rush is allowed.
The time for each match is 2-3 weeks, depending on the number of participants, but also so as not to drag out the tournament too much.
With mutual consent, you can write reports without using an automatic method.
Tournament format: floating double elimination.
All games in the upper and lower brackets, including finals, will be bo1.
The grand final will be bo3, with a score of 1-0 in favor of the player from the upper bracket.
You can take 3 days in total for restarts.
Restarts according to this scheme:
- During the first turn, any player can immediately take a restart 111.
- If neither player takes a restart during the first turn, then before the start of day 2, when no one has yet made a move, red must write "111" or "I don't take a restart" in ICQ. After that, if red does not take a restart, blue must also write "111" or "I don't take a restart".
- If one of the players makes the second move, then he can no longer take a restart. You can see that your opponent has made a move by seeing that the timer starts displaying for him (in the latest versions of HD - even if the player himself has not yet made a move).
