Hello to all snow lovers! After 3 years, Vic and I decided to continue the tradition and hold this tournament again, but this time on HotA, since the best player has already been determined on SoD.
Second Snow
0. In this tournament, all games are played with the Tower Castle. Tournament goals: 1. Identify winners 2. Increase interest in the "Tower" castle 3. Improve gameplay skills and gain experience. I. General questions. 1. Game version HotA 1.4.2 (or later at the start of the tournament) + HD-mod, by agreement SoD or any other (e.g., WT :D ) 2. Players negotiate for the right to choose a color and hero. The first negotiation is for the hero, the second for the color. 3. Templates. Template selection takes place using a draft. The player who is "higher" in the tournament bracket starts the draft. Jebus Cross Diamond Mini-Nostalgia (blue picks first) 8mm6a 8xm12a h3dm1 (timer 21:00+08:00+01:15) mt-Diamond (timer 21:00+08:00+01:15) The list of templates may be slightly changed according to participants' wishes. 4. Games are played simultaneously. By agreement, you can play according to the classic scheme. Simultaneous move times: 7 days for Jebus Cross, h3dm1 5 days for Diamond, mt-Diamond, 8mm6a, 8xm12a 12 days for Mini-Nostalgia 5. Rematches. For mirror templates - 1 day, for classic ones - 3 days. II. Rules. 1. Games are played according to standard rules For HotA For SoD III. Organizational issues. 1. The tournament is a fan event. 2. Players who have been banned from competitive play are not allowed to participate in the tournament. If any player receives a ban during the tournament, they will be disqualified and their results will be annulled. 3. Hosts and judges. Hosts Dirty_Player (408722873) and Wicc (148698328) Judges will be determined later. 4. Disputes between players are resolved by the judges; disputes between players and judges are resolved by the arbitration committee. 5. When registering, each participant must add an image with a snow theme. After each game, participants must submit a detailed report and confirmation in this thread. Also, the winner must add some kind of snow-themed picture to the report. Only in this case will the game be counted. 6. All games of the tournament go into the seasonal rating. A list of reports for the tournament will be located at the beginning of this topic. 7. The winner of the tournament will be awarded a medal under their avatar. 8. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation to any participant without publicly explaining the reasons, as well as to make any changes to the regulations during the tournament. IV. Dates: Recruitment takes place until 02/18/16, or when 64 people have been reached. Tournament starts on 02/19/16. Game time - 2 weeks per round. V. Regulations The tournament will be held according to the Single Elimination system. The regulations may be adjusted based on the number of participants and their wishes. VI. Tournament History 01/24/2015 - 05/25/2015 First Snow, winner =Stinger=

or maybe SoD should be the main version after all?

So, SoD is fine for casual play, but for official tournaments, you want to use the HotA version? What's the point?

Vik is getting paid to sit in this project :D. Open an alternative branch for participants on SoD or start a new tournament (Snow2SoD).

If the tournament is a fan-made one, and played for fun, then reporting through a button should be optional for the players.
Is this critical to anyone? If so, please let me know, and we can discuss it. The main thing is that the decision about not reporting through a button is made before the game, not after.
And 12 days for a mini-tournament is clearly too much; the optimal time is 115-117, depending on the template. If the second week is in the same blitz mode, the quality of the game suffers, which contradicts point 3 of the goals at the top of the topic.
The numbers for the mini-tournament are negotiable. In the World of Xeen mini-tournament, it's 14 days, and there were voices saying that's too much. That's why we reduced it for the Second Snow tournament. If there are many people who want to reduce it further, that's okay.

Some internet issues, but I think I managed to sign up. My favorite faction in Heroes, I can't miss this. I'll try to find time for one game every two weeks, and if it becomes too much, I promise to withdraw before the games start.

Should we expect a remake?

Should we expect a rework?
In its current form, as implemented in HWrulez, no. This is because the Hota Crew believes that this mechanic is too artificial, and that changing already established spells contradicts the ideology of Heroes.

Alternative ways to increase the chances of obtaining control are being discussed.

The main directions of thought are either additional sources of spells (jars with spells/scrolls, a market for spells/scrolls, quests for spells/scrolls, an external GM on the map, etc.) or some options on the theme of "ordering" the desired spell for money/resources.

The limitations are that control should not appear too early, ideally around week 3, with some luck around week 2, and almost never in week 1.
