"King of the Hill-2" Tournament

King of the Hill is an ongoing tournament based on the "play until you are defeated" principle, where only two players can participate at a time – the loser gives up their place to the next contender, and the winner continues playing until they lose themselves. In other words, players must try to defeat the current King of the Hill and end his winning streak; the player who defeats him takes his place. The winner of the previous tournament is HellLight.

Organizational matters:
1. Tournament organizers – Nitro, skd; judge – Dirty Player.
2. The tournament starts on April 1, 2016. The deadline is April 1, 2017.
3. The tournament will be held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments.
4. All games in the tournament are played within the HoMM3 HW Player Rating system.
5. Minor adjustments to the regulations may be made during the tournament.
6. If any controversial issues arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve them, contact one of the organizers or the tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily save files, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
7. Any unjustified delays in the game, squabbles, and disrespectful behavior towards opponents will be strictly punished, up to a permanent ban from the tournament.

Requirements for participants:
1. Experienced Heroesworld players are invited to participate in the tournament.
2. Players with a General rating of 1800+, as well as players included in the top-15 Tournament Ranking, have the right to register freely for the tournament (at any time from the start of registration until the start of the tournament).
3. Applications for participation from other players will be considered by the organizers and the tournament judge individually.
4. You can submit an application to participate even after the start of the tournament.

1. An avatar award: King's crown

Good setup, which would have been quite boring without the Moon... ) immediately a mini-block with 20+ snakes coming out, and then boots for 15 Cerberuses, fire was quickly maxed out, but the Hive + Pandora for 49 wood turned out not to be that good - the Hive is 50+, Pandora covers the entire first level, although the views and slow helped, which wasn't in the game, further on, in the crossroads zone, the only way out was towards the computer, but there was a fire boost, a large creature + spell power, and a trio of conscripts, which, thanks to this, burned down on turn 123. Only Psionics were built in the first week, it was a bit tight on resources, I used views to see where the super treasure was and rushed there - it paid off, while the game master was being built, I got all the air units in a small treasure for the Nagas in a couple of turns, and the book of fire for the Necro-Knights, and immediately went to replenish mana. At the same time, I placed birds in the citadel, and on turn 131, I built the University and learned air magic, then the stables and expertized them, and flew with only birds and an Armageddon spell (900) towards the opponent. I successfully ambushed him with meat shields, although no one had any tactics there, I cut down everything except 360 skeletons. The opponent buys himself out because he just took Utopia, but surrenders on his turn. Thanks for the game.

A good setup, which would have been quite boring without the Moon faction... ) immediately a mini-block with 20+ snakes, and then boots for 15 Cerberuses, fire was quickly upgraded, but the Hive + Pandora for 49 wood turned out to be not so good - the Hive is 50+, Pandora covers the entire first level, although the views and slow helped, which wasn't in the game, then even more, in the crossroads zone, the only way out was towards the computer, but there was a fire boost, a large creature + spell power, and a tier 3 creature, which, thanks to this, was defeated on day 123. Only Psychics were built in the first week, it was a bit tight on gold, I used views to see where the super treasure was and rushed there - it paid off, while the game master was being built, I got all the air units in a small treasure for Nagas in a couple of turns, and a fire book for Necro, and immediately went to replenish mana, at this time I placed birds in the citadel, and on day 131 I built a university and learned air magic, then immediately built a stable and upgraded it, flew with only birds and an Armageddon spell with 900 damage towards the opponent, successfully caught him off guard with meat shields, although there was no tactics from anyone, I cut down everything except 360 skeletons, the opponent buys himself out because he just took Utopia, but surrenders on his turn, thanks for the game.

I have a feeling that the generator gave Hell all the luck for the next couple of years.
111 - boots + the first Pandora in the treasure for all air units for 17 Nagas! + a castle of knights nearby for horses, what else does the Moon faction need to be happy?
On day 132, I took a tier 3 Utopia, they gave me some unnecessary parameters, I built a town portal, but on day 132 the Moon faction came with control and Armageddon, broke the citadel, killed the polar bear, I tried to reach the second Utopia on the opponent's territory, hoping for a castle, with a lot of mana and resurrection, I took everything, but didn't make it, decided not to continue. Thanks for the game

They removed them. I already wrote that the rules were changed, so you should read them.

Am I correct in understanding that in this tournament, a good half of the players might not even get to play a single game? Or will everyone at least play one game?

Did Andryukha scare you that much?

But in general, yes, the opportunity to play might not arise soon.

Everyone will have the opportunity to become King. The rules of this tournament are designed for that.

Great game, managed to take 2 convoys near the city, had plenty of money, and towards the end of the week, I found an external market. I leveled up Kreg nicely, captured 2 convoys (4+3) with decent losses on level 122, then moved towards the treasure. Since Anton was the first to reach it, all that was left was to capture cities and wait for Shakter to return home, but then I surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

Excellent game, 2 castles near the city, plenty of money, and towards the end of the week, I found an external market. I leveled up Kreg well, and on day 122, I captured 2 castles (4+3) with good losses, then moved towards the treasure. Since Anton was the first to go there, all that was left was to capture cities and wait for Shakhter to return home, but I ended up surrendering.
Thanks for the game!

The game unfolded without any hidden strategies; my opponent also surrendered a castle, but only a level 1 castle (I discovered this when the rest periods were already over). Thanks to this, I quickly leveled up Shakhter, and on the third main game day, I acquired a slow spell and, through the trolls, reached the treasure. It turned out to be small and uninteresting, and the passage to the super treasure was guarded by magic-immune passives – an angel and 60 troglodytes from the main stacks. After that, without a pass fight, I started consuming hives, but the super-curved terrain of the super treasure made it clear that I would consume them more than I would exist without cities. And I lost the war of the lesser creatures because I didn't have an attack arrow in two of my main castles! lol (50% chance (no)). Thanks for the game.
