"only XL-3"
The winner of the tournament will receive a medal for their avatar and a ticket to the FB tournament :smile49:


I. Rules and Templates.

1. Game version. The tournament is held on version SoD 3.2(4.0) + HD mod version 4.1 (or the latest actual version) + HW_rulez 1.38 (when a new актуальный patch is released, this rule item is subject to change).
2. XL templates: 8mm6a,8хм12а, 6LM10a, 8xm8a, Spider. Template selection is standard draft; the red player starts with the first pick.
3. Castle selection: random pair + trade
The host generates a pair of random castles using a special button. Immediately after generation, each player can request a regeneration once for 500 coins as compensation to their opponent. If at least one castle repeats during regeneration, that same player may (but is not obligated to) request a free regeneration until a new pair of castles appears.
4. After trading for castles, there is a trade for color.
5. Total number of restarts (113), i.e., 111+111+111, 111+112, 113
6. Time limit per turn with chess timer - 21:00+08:00+01:15
7. Roads are medium and fast
8. The option to rebuild the Guild of Mages is enabled.
9. Timeframe for one game: 2 weeks

II. Regulations

Stage 1 group stage

Two players who score the most points advance from the group.
In case of an equal number of points, places are distributed according to additional indicators (in order of priority):
1. Berger coefficient.
2. Head-to-head result.
3. Points scored in the game "weigh" more than those in technical defeats.
4. If it is impossible to determine which players will advance to the playoffs based on previous indicators, a scheme of transition games will be offered to the players. At present, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be developed based on the situation that develops in the groups at the end of the stage.

Victory - 3 points; defeat - 0; draw - 1 point (counted at the 211+ stage at the discretion of the organizers)

The group stage ends on May 31, 2016. (no saves or replays will be accepted, results will be posted based on submitted tournament reports)

Stage 2 Olympic system

June 1-3, 2016, the playoff draw will take place.

Two players from each group are randomly assigned to the bracket, with 1st and 2nd places.
Olympic BO3.

III. Organizational issues

1. The tournament begins on February 19-26, 2016 (determination of the final regulations of the tournament, drawing of groups)
2. This is an official tournament
3. The tournament is held according to Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments
4. Tournament host - Scorpiona (ICQ 469326983), organizational issues - rebellious (ICQ 345870761).
5. Tournament judge – Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873)
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. The winner of the tournament will receive a medal for their avatar and a ticket to the FB tournament :smile20:

started playing -1100
I chose all the rest, I was dealt stable garbage, the opponent chose 1 rest.
We started playing, even without Lore, 120 Troglodytes allowed me to break through to the village on the first. Home 123 in Fort 4 heroes.
On the second, I got bogged down in the snow, took 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 6+4 Wyverns, beat off some gold, placed cats in the Citadel and ran into a block of 90 Pits.
On 131 without magic with 30 Wyverns I hit them (Pits), saved by a spawn of 50 Dwarves from a Pandora's Box. Lost a Wyvern and everything else. Opened a second front with Marusya on 5 cats and Medusas, Marusya caught Loga, stole 10k experience with Ignissa, she also caught Loga, but the miner stubbornly didn't want to catch Loga. Split the army again, now 3 fronts, looking for control, no timer.
On 141 in one of the trez I take the Cap with Ignissa + for the third time I rebuild the Mage Guild for Town Portal (empty)
on 143 Shakti climbs into a Dragon Utopia and it's max! I decide to merge the troops, I stand on the Dragon Utopia. And then the opponent shows up.
144 I take the Dragon Utopia, pffff... only Wings. With Ignissa through 2 Dimension Doors I fall slightly short of Klavius.
145 Khitranyan knocks out singles. FB Klev 13 13 8 9(41) 62 ducks and small fry Ignissa 32 15 8 8(240) 63 ducks 3 angels. Opponent fights well, uses Berserk wisely, left me 40 ducks, although he had just as many left, a buyout follows. Ignissa with Boots, Stables, Loga, a ton of mana and 2 Dimension Doors rushes into the attack and covers part of the treasury on a horse with КЗ. Opponent writes GG.

Thanks for the game!

I did everything very slowly, ran into a block of 100 Griffins, had very little gold (a bunch of +350 specials saved me), only reached the village at the end of the third, didn't find crystals for Mage Guild 5.
Klev got neither Loga nor Earth, and had a barely usable Air - I retrained Haste on the final day.
For some reason I nekkred 300 skeletons with the main, although everywhere I was losing skeletons I could have easily been losing Water Elementals or single Fairies.
On the second I should have switched from Klev to Octavia with Loga, but I didn't think of it.
Thanks for the game.

Sold the Castle for 5000 + 1000 and its color scheme. The opponent bids 111; then I bid 111 as well. Perhaps the opponent is bluffing because they have only 3 heroes, including Lorelei. I am in a good position on the roads, but I don't have ГГ. In the next round, we start bidding again. At 111, the opponent has 5 heroes, which isn't ideal, but I have Gurney and Kreg, plus an external dwelling with Nagas and Consa 2 under my main hero. At 112, I hesitate because the only road leads to 10+ snipers, but there's a bugged passage leading to lava. On turn 1, Naga with an external dwelling. On turn 121, Gurney takes Consa 2. On turn 123, I scout the opponent's area and find up to 10 minotaurs, essentially all their forces. I assume their army is split in half, which turns out to be true later. On turn 125, the opponent attacks Gurney with Aislin, steals a +3+3 amulet from the tray, and Gunar is within attack range, but I think he will buy his way out using tactics, so I don't attack. On turn 126, I decide that Kreg is better after all and break through for 20+(24) gold, taking a Necro-Knight for a level 5 hat. Then, I go into super training. On turn 3, I get 3 Dragon Utopias, levels 1, 2, and maxed out, but no КЗ, and the stats aren't great. My army consists of 14 Giant Rats, 18 Golden Golems from Pandora, 20 snipers, and Gremlins. Only on turn 142 (losing one day due to failing during troop transfer) do I find КЗ in my 5th Dragon Utopia. Unfortunately, the opponent gets a level 5 hat in their own 1st Dragon Utopia on turn 142 and takes over the entire 4th area of Pandora with 10+ Giant Rats. Later, having more than 40 minutes and Gunar with control, the opponent confidently wins. A full battle essentially didn't make sense; the power imbalance was huge: 110 Monarchs and 1600 skeletons (starting non-critical attacks on turn 143, with conversion).

Thank you for the game!

Bought Castle and color. On week 3 in Dragon Utopia, I found KS and КВ. On week 4 from the overview, I spotted Taz in a treasure zone. Attacked via DD. There was a high SP there, but I have the orb. The opponent bought their way out with the remnants of their army. Two days later, I crushed them in a neighboring treasure zone.
Thanks for the game.

Main - Nimbus.
Good layout - 2 roads and КВ in the neighboring zone, but fairly quickly along both roads I ran into blocks in the underground. As a result, a very boring second week, Valeska didn't pay off, would have been better to take Cate = (
At the end of the second week I got the Angel Wings from a grave :cool: and everything seemed to start getting better, but then Tazar shows up with 60+ ducks. I ran away from him for a bit, but since I couldn't take КВ and it went to him, I couldn't outrun him.
Quite an interesting template, but way too many Dragon Fly Hives, probably will be more interesting to play it in hotseat.
Thanks for the game.

A tough start; I barely managed to scrape together enough for the psychs in the citadel, but the first same-level console turned out to be a mini. 121 console, T-Rex went onto the map, found a computer dungeon, and claimed it. Leveling was normal, with logs; after several attempts at parameters, I started focusing on building the Mage Guild, got Dimension Door on the 3rd attempt, and received Town Portal from a single rebuild. There were many support mages, which allowed me to quickly seize a bunch of castles from the opponent. During another Dimension Door raid, one of the mages found a zero Kir with an army; T-Rex jumped there immediately, and the surrender followed. Thanks for the game.

Heavy first week – a tiny starting army and a blocked respawn. On the second week, I managed to get going – I broke two Dragon Fly Hives and two Griffin Conservatory-twos, while also finding a Dimension Door scroll, but there was nowhere to build a Mage Guild. At the start of the fourth week, I break two maximum Dragon Utopias (they give me the КЗ and all the components for the Angelic Alliance except the Chalice), after which I put up Archers. The search for Air Control turned out to be futile, so I capture a ramp of the opponent and build a Mage Guild there. After that, everything went much faster – Valeska with two jumps was unstoppable – I pick up a few more Utopias, find the Chalice, and assemble the Alliance plus the Red Orb. I would have continued clearing the map like this, but on turn 222 the opponent makes a mistake – I attack with 19 Archers, 60+ Dwarves, and meat, while the opponent essentially only has 40+ Monks, 20 unupgraded Dwarves, and 4 Hydras.
Thanks for the game!

Tough start, barely scraped together enough psychos for the Citadel, but the very first Griffin Conservatory turned out to be a min [ed.: perhaps "mini" meaning small or minimal]. 121 Griffin Conservatories, Tyrex went to the map, found a companion dungeon, looted it. Leveling was decent, with Loga [ed.: likely referring to Logistics skill], after several Dragon Utopias on stats, I started intensively building a Mage Guild, got Dimension Door on the 3rd try, and got Town Portal from a single rebuild. There were many support mages, I managed to quickly take a bunch of towns and [eliminate] the opponent. During another Dimension Door raid, one of the mages found a zero-[power] Kyrre with an army, Tyrex jumped there immediately, and a surrender followed. Thanks for the game.
A ton of starting army, quickly killed the green player. Afterwards - empty Dragon Utopias and lack of control. Never managed to upgrade the archers, got caught on a low [level] hero in the main.

A tough first week - a minuscule starting army and a blocked respawn. On the second week, I barely got going - broke two Dragon Fly Hives and two Griffin Conservatory doubles, while also finding a Dimension Door scroll, but there was nowhere to build a Mage Guild. At the start of the fourth week, I crack two max Dragon Utopias (they give КЗ and all the components of Angelic Alliance, except the Chalice), after which I place Archangels.

Up until the last turn, I tried to find at least something; from the only minimum Dragon Utopia, I got the Admiral's Hat. Wyverns were a decent growth, but the only place where I could find anything was the desert - which I didn't enter. There were no Flight spells.
Thanks for the game. Some terrible luck with the layouts, imo.

Sold for 5000 +1000 Castle and color. Opp takes 111, then I take 111; probably a mistake, opp is bluffing, he has 3 heroes, including Lorelei. My roads are good, but no ГГ. We played the next distribution; at 111 opp has 5 heroes, which is bad, but I have Gurnie and Kreg and an external dwelling of nags and consa 2 under the main. At 112 doubts arise since the only road leads to 10+ snipers, but a bugged passage to lava is found. At 1 nag with external dwelling. At 121 Gurnie takes consu 2. At 123 I lit up the opp's view; there are up to 10 minotaurs and basically that's it, I assume the army is split in half, which was later confirmed. At 125 opp crashes Aislin against Gurnie, steals a +3+3 pendant from the tray; Gunar is in attack range, but I think he will buy his way out on tactics, so I don't attack. At 126 I decide that Kreg is indeed better and break through 20+(24) gr necro-horses for hat 5, then I go into super-treasure; at 3 I take 3 Dragon Utopia 1.2 and maxi, but no КЗ and the stats didn't drop much, army is 14 gr nags, 18 gold golems from Pandora, 20 snipers and gremlins. Only at 142 (1 day lost by failing during troop transfer) in the 5th Dragon Utopia do I find КЗ; alas, opp in his 1st Dragon Utopia at 142 gets hat 5 and in Pandora for 10+ gr nags gets all 4. Subsequently, having 40+ minutes and Gunar with control, opp wins confidently. FB basically made no sense, the power advantage is huge: 110 monarchs and 1600 skeletons (starting to necromance at 143, with conversion).

Thanks for the game!

I cleared a big respawn, but due to the 3.1k rollback I was severely short on gold, and I also hit a wall of snipers; the tempo was terrible. I couldn't find a village with a 5th hero, so 2 scrolls of Dimension Door were sitting idle. But in the end I got rolling, the opponent came at me with 80 wyverns and 12 bears; I met him with 130 wyverns and better stats. +1 speed and a proc of morale left him no chance in the face-off. Thanks for the game.

I played the early game well - collected 2 external dwellings of bears, an external dwelling of bone dragons; the Dungeon gave Mass Haste (without it breaking the hives was impossible - guards like 35 fanatics or 30 upgraded liches). I started breaking hives, then hit a wall - I wasted a lot of resources on buyouts and chains, didn't build up control, and the artifacts for battle stats and books on the ground didn't drop. I found only one Dragon Utopia, and it was in the middle of nowhere. What also let me down was that Dungeon, without any battle skills, grabbed Offense instead of Expert Wisdom as its penultimate base. As luck would have it, I immediately unlocked a box for all of tier 5. On week 4 I found a Fly scroll and built GM5 on week 5, but it was already too late - the opponent with full control was devouring Dragon Utopias and hives with several heroes. I went to take his main in hopes of a freebie, but naturally got wrecked by Gunnison with a lot of meat and +1 speed. An upgrade of the bears could have saved the situation, but I constantly lacked gold and resources for it, and without the upgrade the brownies got wiped by 120 ducks in one go without even having a chance to strike. And on top of that, Hella's duck morale killed 70 of my ducks. Thanks for the game.

We decided to replay the first game because there was an issue with the saves at a crucial moment in the game. I had taken control of the main blue castle with 4k movement points, having full control, but I didn't have enough movement points to occupy it. As a result, Marat took it back with a difficult move and occupied it with Craig, but he forgot to save the game. We tried to replay the moves, but in the end, we decided to just start over because the game situation was roughly equal on both sides. I had full control, 40 Monarchs, 6 Angels, 70 regular Wyverns, and 2 Angels. The stats were slightly lower, which compensated for the army difference.
In the second game, things didn't go well for Marat.
Thanks for the game!
