Favorites, to battle! - 8

For the eighth time, we will compete for our favorite castle, prove its strength, delight viewers with interesting games and unconventional combinations. In this tournament, each player immediately chooses a faction that they will play throughout the tournament.
The first such tournament took place in 2008.
Conflux and Necropolis have twice celebrated victory; once, Fortress, Castle, and Rampart were the best.
What will happen now?

I. General questions.
1. Throughout the tournament, each participant plays as their chosen favorite faction.
2. Game version SoD 3.2 (4.0) + HD mod + HW_rules_mod patch. The latest stable version is currently available: as of early December 2015, HD mod 4.0 RC33, HW_rules_mod 1.38.
3. Color in bracket tables – for the initial seeding. Colors change after each SUBJECTIVE restart.
4. The choice of template is made by crossing out one from the list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish (at 200% difficulty), Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, and Spider. The player marked with blue in the table starts eliminating a template.
By mutual agreement, it is permissible to play on any other template. This issue must be discussed beforehand with the tournament judges.
5. If there are two identical factions in a match, then the template is chosen from the list: 2SM4d(3), Balance, skirmish (at 200% difficulty), Jebus cross, Mini-Nostalgia, Diamond, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, Spider, mir_diamond and mir_h3dm1.
In this case, players bargain for the right to choose the starting hero. Players take turns (first, the one marked red in the table, then - blue) crossing out one undesirable hero from the full list; then, the players inform each other how much gold they are willing to transfer to their opponent for the right to make the first choice among the remaining heroes. The player who offers the larger amount chooses the hero first and transfers the gold to his opponent.
On the mir_diamond and mir_h3dm1 templates, each player has one subjective restart at 111.
Also, on the mir_diamond and mir_h3dm1 templates, players negotiate over color. The player who offers the larger amount chooses which color he will play as and transfers the gold to his opponent.
6. Standard rules apply.
The default timer is chess clock style, with parameters specified in the rules.
Any changes to the game rules are allowed by mutual agreement of the players, except for changing the Favorite Castle and the Fair Play rule.
Additional rules for templates:
Mini-Nostalgia. The participant marked with blue in the table begins choosing computer opponents' castles. When the color changes, the selection is not repeated; the castles chosen by the player remain his secondary choices.
Diamond. The participant marked red in the table removes an extra (ninth) castle. If the favorite castles are identical, then red first removes one castle, then blue - a second.

II. Organizational questions.
1. This tournament is official and regular.
2. Tournament goals:
- to play as your favorite faction and try to prove its strength,
- to gain valuable experience and improve your gameplay.
3. The tournament is held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in tournaments.
4. Players listed on the Blacklist and Penalty Bench are not allowed to participate in the tournament.
5. Tournament hosts and judges: Pit for LM (ICQ: 471401475) and
KobRa_RR (ICQ: 286406830).
If it is impossible to resolve a controversial issue independently, the judges will seek help from the AC.
The host has the right to make any changes to the regulations and rules during the tournament if necessary.
6. For each played match, participants must submit a report and confirmation in this thread, created automatically.
Saves of all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and presented upon first request by the tournament host or any member of the AC.
7. Information about the progress of the tournament is updated as needed and is located at the beginning of this thread.
8. All games of the tournament go into the seasonal rating. The list of tournament reports is also located at the beginning of this thread.
9. The winner of the tournament and players who took 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded Medals under their avatar:

Award authors: RAPER and ColdRain.

III. Deadlines.
All participants in the tournament must strictly adhere to the announced deadlines:
1. Immediately after the start of the next stage or round, contact your opponents for preliminary arrangements for the games. Agreeing means reaching an agreement after negotiations and discussion. An offer without a response will not be considered an agreement.
2. Any temporary problems (with internet access, travel plans, personal matters) must be reported to the tournament hosts.
3. The preferred time for tournament games is daytime (12-24 Moscow time) on weekends and evening (19-24 Moscow time) on weekdays. If a participant cannot play at this time, the absence of a game result will be interpreted by the host in favor of his opponent.

Just in case, I'll write that Jelen117 and I have been playing together for a long time – it's the end of the 4th week on the competitive mode (can you imagine, that happens). We agreed on a draw in case I also end up in one of the top 2 places with a draw. If I don't, then my favorite – AWARDING THE VICTORY :D.

I thought you were suggesting a draw, and it only depends on my decision. :D
But it doesn't matter. Cobra said that tomorrow there will be points for the technical victory with Mishut if he doesn't contact me. Then I'll finish or draw with Cobra (4th week) and Lizard. I just strategically decided not to finish all the matches, thinking that some draws might be very beneficial for me. :)

I immediately moved my Knight to the center, and my opponent was rushing. My army was positioned on the outskirts. Then came the GG.
Thank you for the game!

I moved to the center right away, and my opponent was already rushing, while my army was still on the outskirts. Then came the GG.
Thanks for the game!

Opponent left Hack with one angel and the rest of the army on a scout although he knew we were close. That mistake cost the game. TFP.

The report was duplicated by mistake. Confirmation can be found here:

I gained momentum on an Angel and on the last move, I was hit by a Gunnar. The stats were even, and I even had slightly better stats, but the opponent had better objects: 4 constructs, and I had 1. Thanks for the game!

Duplicate, counted as confirmation.

So, it's March 15th, and as I promised, the long-awaited Repressions are beginning :D
Group A: myduck - withdrew, vladd - 3 games - withdrawn due to poor performance and lack of information.
Group C: MuLLIyTa - disqualified
Group I: Joker2K - withdrew
Group J: Chocolate Puma, =Logistik= - disqualified
Group L: Егор Коробейников - withdrew, liverpool - disqualified
Group M: Player_ - withdrew
Group P: =Stinger= - withdrew, Alin - disqualified due to poor performance and numerous complaints from other players about disconnects and lack of knowledge of the rules.
The list will be updated.

I remind you of the order of calculating points in case of withdrawals and disqualifications:
If a player who withdrew or was disqualified has played 50% or more of the games, their results remain valid, and they receive 0-1 in the remaining matches. If less, then the results are completely annulled, and they receive -+ (a dash) everywhere.

I expect all games to be closed by March 29th. On the 30th and 31st, the results will be announced; otherwise, I will enter 0-0 in the table. If you can't agree, write to me, and I will assign an arbitrator. The playoffs will begin on April 1st

The opponent denied all my resists, after which I saw a blocked but interesting setup. Unfortunately, 27 cyclopes against 113 didn't work out for me (though it was close). I was left with nothing, but slowly recovered and eventually assembled 4 Griffin Conservatory nests, a tier 2 building, and a couple of artifacts for stats — reached 125 through Black Dragons. In 4 turns on a fairly poor treasure pile, I boosted my stats a bit and encountered the opponent who had emerged. They had 9 Angels, 35 Vivi, and stats about one and a half times smaller, while I had 30 Vivi, 2 Angels, a bunch of a zoo +200 skeletons, more mana. I shaved off all their single Vivi units with my shooters and attacked. The trade was in my favor, and the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

We started playing for luck after all the rests, and I got some pretty good drops. Archdevil 111 from refuge. On that same day, I took a medusa-hive for money, lost 20+ kents due to negative morale (also took a fort greedily). 115 mini cons with a loser, had plenty of money. Took the second Castle at 114. Kirry was already taking experience chests. By the end of the week, I found 2 more cons, a hive, and Pekadril went to the treasure room from 115 with a 25% penalty. And he scouted 3 Dragon Utopia for me, good job. On the second [day], I took the first con 122 with mass slow, the second with Gunnar, mini. :( then max clues and into the treasure room. But there was only a +12 shield, and 2 or 3 unpleasant hives. At 131, when I wanted to defeat Kirry on the last move, I discovered КВ. Very far away, but of course it had to be taken. At 134, I took КВ and started taking Dragon Utopia in the treasure room with a penalty. The drops were so-so. An opponent arrived with very high greed. Nearly 50 gr. cats (there's double dungeon with two cat caches :smile07: ), 8 angels, 30+ ducks, 200 troglodytes, 100+ harpies and shooters were also decent. Kirry went to the third treasure room while the opponent was snatching my towns. The third treasure room gave me a lot: +30 ducks, up to elixir, stats were good, speed cloak, red orb, book of fire. At 146 I returned to my ramp, refilled mana on losers, and at 147 via 2 fast heroes snatched his dungeon. At the end of the turn, I left Kirry with power in one dungeon, and Dimera with КО and +5 power in the second. Ran around a bit, Lizard killed my Gunnar. At 213 I put Shakter against Dimera, Armageddon dealt 730; the next day I attacked Shakter with Kirry and power. It was a close fight, stats almost equal, I had no armor, but 80 grands and 72 ducks decided that the game turned in my favor. Thanks for the game!

I merged on turn 115, but I wasn't discouraged because I got Necropolis Boots and a Necropolis Amulet. In the second week, I took two Necropolis Dragon lairs, and the Necromancy artifacts – skeletons – started appearing. At the beginning of the third week, two angels appeared, and I took a lair from the Angel faction, and everything else was also taken. However, my opponent surrendered.

Thank you for the game!

I lost on 115, but I wasn't discouraged, since I revealed Necromancer Boots and Necromancer Amulet. On the second week, I took 2 external dwellings of Necromancer dragons, and the necromancy accessories — skeletons started to pour in. At the start of the third [week], 2 Angels, popped up near the Angel external dwelling and the Griffin Conservatory — all that was taken. However, the opponent surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

Started without rests since Galtran was second; at 113 I saw the Moon with Cobra, but didn't want to stay without rests. At 117, I took max cons with Tantom, probably a mistake—better at 121 with fewer timer losses. On the second [turn/lap], I gathered another cons 3, wings, teapot, but alas, I was short 1-2 cells to see hat 5 (only grabbed it at 4) and КЗ (turned out to be with the opp). As a result, the war of wings against КВ, and then the opp's control, was sad. At 4 I got control, but the map was mostly eaten up; didn't take a single Dragon Utopia. Surrendered.

Thanks for the game!

Guys, stop it, especially with the threats involving fists; it looks like we'll have to hire security just in case :D

Added 55 minutes later
I talked to Helen, here's the translation: he had two saves, one at the beginning of the turn, and another after two quick battles. They loaded from his save because Kostya didn't have one from work. Helen loaded the save from the beginning of the turn to remember, and then he loaded the second save and started playing from there. If nothing else happened, then this isn't a violation of the rules.

Guys, cut it out, especially with the threats involving fists. It looks like I'll have to hire security just in case :D

Added 55 minutes later
I talked to Helen, here's the translation: he had two saves, one at the beginning of his turn, and another after two quick battles. They loaded from his save because Kostya didn't have a save from work. Helen loaded the save from the beginning of the turn to remember, and then he loaded the second save and started playing from there. If nothing else happened, then this isn't a violation of the rules.

1. We were playing with his auto-save, and at that moment, his timer was 0. What is this nonsense about "2 quick battles"? It's a shame I didn't have time to take screenshots with the save dates; we still need to teach such players a lesson. So, he loads his auto-save, and then Gunnar, who was standing in an open field with a Troglodyte (and clearly hadn't had a chance to move), runs away from his starting position. I ask him in ICQ - what are you doing? Why aren't you passing the turn? He says he's "remembering." I think, "Wow, you already took your turn; do you really think I've forgotten everything in the last 1.5 months?" Whatever, let's move on.

2. After 10 minutes, given for "remembering," he simply exits, saying he's "remembered" and is now loading (when asked if he couldn't have remembered while I was taking my turn, he replies, "I didn't understand"). He loads - the timer is 6 minutes, Gunnar is again with the Troglodyte, and then the movement begins... I had to leave urgently, I come back, take my turn, and review his turn - I realize that the turn was simply replayed, but I have no proof in the form of screenshots or my own saves; I was just taken for a fool. Okay, I think, let's finish the game like this; the game itself was very interesting. I managed to get out of a difficult situation, survive until the late game, and put up a fight, but in the end, two Logisticians set up a simple checkmate in 3 moves.

3. I simply write to the person, "Thank you for the game," but I note that I really didn't like those save manipulations. The person continues to play dumb and writes "???".

4. I delete him from ICQ without further conversation. It's simple. Let him enjoy his great victory.

Bone, what are you starting now? You know the forum rules and the rules for resolving disputes. If there are problems, write to the judge or me, and we'll figure out what can be done, we'll punish. We had one person who tried to "settle things according to his own understanding." And instead of that, you posted everything on the forum. Why? That's not right. For now, I'm just deleting the messages, and then I'll punish you, even though I like you, I'm sorry.

Sasha Num, this applies to you too.
