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.

It ended with only one gate open :( Thanks to the opponent for the game. The setup for Haven wasn't great (slightly better than average). A request to experienced players: if you're interested, try to play better, starting from the end of level 111 (only in one attempt!). We completed up to level 132 in one go. It will definitely be useful for beginners to take a look. I want to check if it was really played well? :o :D P.S. A detailed report will be provided later to avoid spoilers.

It all came down to the wire :( Thanks to my opponent for the game.
The setup for Haven wasn't great (slightly above average).
To those who want to, please try to play better, starting from the end at 111 (only on the first try!). We played up to 132 in one go. It will definitely be useful for beginners to take a look. I want to check if it was really played well? :o :D
Thanks for the game.

I traded for the red color and Solmyr for 2000. On turn 111, I entered the Black Tower, killed the green Dragon, and got the Boots :D, of course, I played this turn. :rolleyes: Also, on the respawn, there was a powerful Cons and a Workshop. The opponent had all the resources, but he didn't use them. The beginning was good because Solmyr got Earth and there were enough blocks against the Goblins, and in the neutral swamp zone, there was a mine near the road, so Solmyr was clearing everything. On turn 115, I took a mini-Hive in that zone and teleported to the grass, where, in theory, there should have been a computer unit. But it wasn't there, instead, there was the opponent. On turn 116, I broke through the block with the Royal Griffons (21) and started cutting off the opponent's heroes, sending Solmyr after Nila. I had 60 mana, 6 SP, 4 Vivas, 3 Djinns, 2 Nagas, 70 Caps, and 7 Golems. The opponent had a more modest army. This turn wins the game.
PS: we played on fast roads, the first contact was on 116.

I surrendered with 2 conscripts and 1 unit under the city, which I only checked mid-week, but my opponent immediately took them and ran for a week with a long route to the 2nd city for double resources. On the 2nd turn, I gathered conscripts with scouts, explored the treasures, and on the 3rd turn, I collected zephyrs and workshops, finding 10 giants, 17 cyclops, and 5 angels, and also found a utopia. I immediately headed towards the one closer to my opponent, but he decided to repeat the same move, but he ran out of time, and his scout ended up dead in the village.

Thank you for the game!

The ending turned out to be strange. My opponent took out two Loshaks with Solmyr on an Angel; one of them had boots, which was a shame. I estimate that he moved about 1800-1900 spaces away. In the tower, Terek enters, and he needs to learn Lightning and, ideally, 3 Angels should be able to return the boots (without resistance and advanced tactics). After a few strategic moves regarding finances, I realize that learning Lightning will be difficult. The Mage with the training ability doesn't work well after the first turn of the neutrals. I run into the darkness, and eventually, I find someone to attack.
Terek learns Lightning, attacks, and, as it turns out, wins the final battle. Although I thought I was attacking a Loshak and wasn't sure how to get 3 Angels out without money for a bribe...

Thanks for the game.

Surrender due to 2 cons with 1min under the city, which I only checked by mid-week, but the opp took them immediately and with a very long road, he spent a week running doubles to the 2nd city. At the 2nd, I picked up cons with scouts, poked around in treasures, and on the 3rd, I gathered zephyrs and workshops that I found; it turned out to be 10 giants, 17 cyclops, 5 angels, and I found a utopia. I immediately headed for the one closer to the opp, but he decided to pull the same move, though he ran out of timer and his scout with meat remained in the village.

Thanks for the game![/QUOTE]

I got 122 with a rush, the center turned out to be a Tavern, and another adjacent one, where I broke through with 124 - also snow. At 126, I took the central Tavern from my opponent. On his turn, he attacked with Solmyr, who had 50 mana. In terms of power and combat stats, Ivore has a significant advantage. I think even if he had no mana at all, he would still win against me. But with 19 mana, he had no chance. Thanks for the game.

Reached level 122 with a rush, the center turned out to be a Tavern, and another adjacent territory, where I managed to get to level 124 – also snow. At level 126, I took the central Tavern from my opponent. On his turn, he attacked with Solmyr, who had 50 mana. In terms of power and combat stats, Ivora had a significant advantage. I think even without any mana, he would have won against me. But with 19 power and no chance at all, it was a clear victory. Thanks for the game.
It seems there were artifacts, but nothing special besides a good hiding spot. Thanks for the game.

He was killed by Terek, whom I dismissed at the end of my turn. I slipped up badly; thank you for the game!

It was complete garbage. The path to the corner tower, blocked by 20-49 Gorgons, and the path to the computer with one-way creatures on the road were terrible. No money either. I didn't continue because I got frustrated with this. Thanks for the game. P.S. Please correct the starting hero - it should be Solmyr, not Saira.

From the start made a mistake with templates, missed mirror diamond. I wanted to play 8mm6a.
I started with -2400 color + hero.
Many small mistakes, less money had lead to me being red but 1-2 rounds behind. I had a chance in week 2 got earth book, with mana i could make some damage. But very unhappy situation with computers made my situation from hard to really hard. lost 1 town and 3 secondary heroes in one round (crazy computer, lost my chain of heroes, any chance of reaching opp. opp got cloak preventing 3-5lvl spells, some more army. i got second earth book, but was already too weak and couldn't do any serious damage.

Thx for play
