Decided to try out an old WT tournament format on HotA. The tournament is, of course, unofficial, but possibly has a prize pool (see below).

Game version: HoTA 1.4.2 (latest version, download link: http://download.h3hota.com/HotA_full_setup), HD-mode 4.100 RC5, HW-rulez 1.38.

Template: jebus cross, simultaneous turns until turn 117 inclusive.

Game timer: 8+4+1 (in case of mutual transfer - 8+5+1). Can only be changed to a lower value, otherwise the point of the idea is lost.

Game format: bidding for color, after which blue first chooses any Castle and any hero. Red can take the same Castle, but a different hero.

Restarts: 1 restart on day 111. After finishing turn 111, the red player must write to blue: "taking restart" or "not taking restart", after which blue decides whether to take their own restart.

Redraw: allowed.

Using scrolls without building a Mage Guild: allowed.

Sod's restrictions on Necros, Conflux, etc.: cancelled. In particular, you can upgrade Vampires, Firebirds, etc.

Organizers: =Lizard=

Tournament system: Swiss with elimination after 2 losses.

The tournament is unofficial. Creating reports via the button for results to count towards the rating is NOT mandatory. You can just use text, like in the "Fo-Fan games" thread.

Good luck to everyone in the battles!

Where can I find these so-called tier lists for castles? :)

There was a thread about castle balance in Heroes. Search through Timur's old posts – he wrote lengthy analyses about how they nerfed Dungeon.

I won’t keep my “top list” a secret. If anyone is interested, here is the list of starting preferences specifically when playing HotA Jebus on a short timer (in descending order of strength):

1. Fortress - Dragon
2. Castle - Valeska
3. Cove - Cassiopeia
4. Dungeon - Shakti
5. Necro - several roughly equivalent heroes (and even Necro made it into the top 5 solely because of the possibility of upgrading vampires).

p.s. Tyraxor and Monere, who are definitely in the top 5 on a long timer, do not make it here.

5. Necropolis - several roughly equivalent heroes (and even then Necropolis only made it into top-5 because of the possibility of upgrading Vampires).

p.s. Tyraxor and Monere, who are definitely in the top-5 on a long timer, do not make the cut here.

If you're strictly going by the short timer, then Necropolis and Cove clearly don't belong here, and besides, Cove heroes level up very awkwardly; plus Cassiopeia after the Nymph nerf looks much weaker than, say, Jeremy, though I'll reiterate that both level up quite awkwardly. Necropolis simply doesn't fit well into the concept of HotA Jebus Cross, for fairly obvious reasons.
As for Dungeon, a couple of surprises await, besides the Troglodyte nerf — I can give you a little teaser: generate a Jebus Cross on HotA and see what value Dragon Utopias have now compared to Skeleton Transformers; you'll be surprised.
Castle — well, it is what it is; there are probably enough fans to do some curb-stomping with Archers, but you should most likely be prepared that in 50% of cases you'll have to do it with 2-3 Archers... because there are far more objects now, and consequently the chance for Griffin Conservatories is lower.
And of course, +/- 12 guaranteed Grand Elves (with a below-average draw), a bunch of Dwarves under Hives/Conservatories/Towers, good old Kyrre — none of this helps tempo and requires phenomenal micro, just like +/- 17 Air Elementals from the start with Monere at the helm.

Okay, at least he didn't argue about the Dragon;). In general, let the tournament decide;).
It would be very strange if I wrote anything against the Dragon, especially considering the fact that I was the first to describe all the overpowered aspects of this hero, at least on this forum. ;)

Indeed. Don't forget that we're talking about Heroes. For example, The_'s top 3 castles and Lizard's top 4 castles only have one point in common.
Yes, I forgot about Heroes of Might and Magic. There should be more variety here.

I have a suggestion regarding favorites.

Essentially, this is what we can call extended favorites. You can play the entire tournament with one faction, or you can change factions during the tournament.
