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!

Glory, these are indeed 2 features from the very latest version that haven't made it into the manual yet. Testing them won't take long, right? I don't know about others, but before a tournament with unusual versions/rules, I just play in single-player mode to see what's what. I've never used any manuals at all.

Firstly, the manual is missing not only these two things. Secondly, you should check your own links before pointing me to manuals. Thirdly, never mind about HotA.

First time playing HotA, simultaneous turns and blitz Jebus Cross. Turned out pretty fun. Almost gave up on the first week — from objects only a Dragon Fly Hive, a couple of Cyclops Pens and a level one Red Tower. GO doubled from Efreeti and Titans. Had no money, but a box looted at the end of the week with 15k gold saved me; thanks to that I drafted Angels + Marius suddenly leveled up just right — Logistics, Earth, Archery, Offense. Also looted a strategic Flight scroll behind the Unicorns, with which I flew around the Titans and broke through the Efreeti. Entered the center around week 124 I think, immediately grabbed a few Cyclops Pens and looted Wings, then a box for 5 Angels. In short, took the center, cleared Dragon Utopias, boxes. Opponent went for Barbarian respawn.

After upgrading Archers, started capturing towns. Ran around for another week or two and at the start of the second month I attack Christian in Castle. There stats are a bit lower, KS, Elixir, 9 Archers, 15+15 Cyclops, 24 Grand Elves, 37 Unicorns and a few Griffins. I have 17 Archers, 65 Cyclops, 59 Marksmen, 20 Champions, 5 Giants. Morale and Bad Luck trigger well and the battle is carried. Thanks for the game!

The distribution was decent: 3 consumables – one level 1 and two level 3, and 2 maxed-out Hive units. I even got 2 critical hits, but didn’t find anything good for stats. Everything happened very quickly; I didn’t have time to react properly, I need to get used to it. Thanks for the game!

Updated the description of the new features up to version 1.4.2:

I apologize for not being able to do this earlier.

By the way, why hasn't the ability to simply dismiss units in a town been implemented in HOTA yet? If it's possible to dismiss them through a bug, it would be better to allow it through a normal method. IMO.
Judging by how it's implemented in the game, dismissing units in a town might be disabled because it could cause some map errors. It's likely not critical or unfixable, but it's still better to fully understand this issue before implementing it – and we haven't had time to do that yet.

This was my first time playing HotA, simultaneous turns and Blitz Jebus Cross. It turned out to be quite fun. I almost surrendered on the first week — from objects, only a Dragon Fly Hive, a couple of Cyclops Pens, and a level 1 Red Tower. GO was paired, featuring Efreets and Titans. I had no money, but a 15k gold chest captured at the end of the week saved me; thanks to that, I bought Angels + Marius unexpectedly leveled up just right — Logistics, Earth, Archery, Offense. I also captured a strategic Fly scroll from the Unicorn Glade, which I used to fly past the Titans and break through the Efreets. I entered the center around week 4, I think, immediately grabbed a few Cyclops Pens and captured Wings, then a chest for 5 Angels. In short, I took the center, cleared Dragon Utopias and chests. My opponent went for a Barbarian respawn.

After upgrading to Archangels, I started capturing towns. We ran around for another week or two, and at the start of month 2, I attacked Christian in Castle. He had slightly lower stats, a Kingdom Cloak, an Elixir of Life, 9 Archangels, 15+15 Cyclopes, 24 Grand Elves, 37 Unicorns, and single Griffins. I had 17 Archangels, 65 Cyclopes, 59 Marksmen, 20 Champions, and 5 Giant Beholders. Good morale and bad luck triggered, and the battle was won. Thanks for the game!
thanks for the game!

Lost badly, the opponent had a better starting position with more creatures and water elementals. But I made a very stupid mistake on turn 116, which caused the game to only continue from turn 121.
But I would like to separately note the opponent's game (I watched the replay at the end of the game).
He gave 100%, started with a not-so-great position, and completely crushed me!!
It was awesome!
Thanks for the game!
Good luck in the tournament!

I lost badly; he had a better starting position with more creatures and water elementals. But I made a very stupid mistake on turn 116, which meant the game only really started on turn 121.
But I'd like to especially commend my opponent's game (I watched the replay at the end).
He gave it his all, started with a not-so-great position, and completely crushed me!!

Good luck in the tournament.
I upgraded archers under the Valkyrie, thinking I'd be able to deal some damage, but it turned out... it would have been better not to upgrade them. Because there were three nests on the map (which are hard to attack with them). A couple of air elementals. No angel lairs. And only one level 2 condor. But thanks to successfully leveling up Nela, I managed to reach level 124 with a decent timer, around 10 minutes after taking the Guardian Tower. Then I finished leveling up earth magic in the treasure. I took everything I could. On turn 131, my opponent started pushing towards the center. But by that time, my hero was quite strong. A special thanks to my opponent for continuing to play after losing and for leveling up his hero to a good level on turn 131. We were almost equal in stats. But still, the center is the center. My opponent surrendered gracefully in the final. Thanks for the interesting game. And good luck to you too, Misha, in the tournament.
