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.

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.

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.

Good start for Nila; she quickly captured a log. In the middle of the second turn, I managed to launch a good attack, taking 3 cities from my opponent, gaining an advantage in income and access to new zones. In the snowy treasure zone adjacent to the opponent's spawn point, I defended against Dimension Door and Pandora, earning +15k experience. On the next turn, I took the opponent's capital and placed a watchtower there. On the following turn, Tazar, whom I believe the opponent had fully switched to, appeared in the lift. I had shackles, but as far as I understand, it wasn't possible to buy him out due to insufficient funds.
Thank you for the game.

Good Nila from the start, quickly caught the log. In the middle of the second week, I managed to launch a good attack, capturing 3 towns from the opponent, gaining an income advantage and access to new zones. In the snow treasure zone adjacent to the opponent's respawn, I cleaned out Dimension Door and a Pandora's Box +15k XP. The next turn, I took the opponent's capital and built a Watch Tower there. On the following turn, Tazar, onto whom the opponent had apparently switched permanently, showed up in the elevator. I had Shackles, but as I understand it, there was no buyout option due to insufficient funds.
Thanks for the game.

thought the opponent didn't see me, and would have taken the Dragon Utopia and a couple of Angel Feathers on the next turn, but alas :D . Thanks for the game! :D

Everything has been revamped; I struggled with the objectives, but the gameplay was good. Miriam is at level 112 with experience in ranged attacks and already has decent stats (2 zombie skills and 2 buff skills). There are 3 goblin nests and 2 mages. I was planning to use level 113 to fight 100+ simple golems for Pandora, but I got "gg" (good game). The analysis showed exactly 100 golems without any special abilities, which is an easy 10,000 experience points. Miriam has experience in offensive skills, ranged attacks, earth magic, and artillery. At level 115, with 16 attack power, she is ready to easily kill golems with her native army without any problems with mana. Yuri had a tough time in the played game. Thanks for the time.

P.S. Oh, please don't tell me that everything is canceled, and I have to play against the winner of HighTech - Slaizer (((

Thanks for the game.

Very rich draft, lots of gold, 2 roads, 8 heroes on day 1. At first Aine was in control, who leveled Earth and took the first Griffin Conservatory at level 2 early in week 2, then Miriam picked up the second level 2. I tried to scout as much as possible, so I burned a lot of timer. Didn't enter the daddy until 126, when suddenly one showed up at the grail zone, I immediately sent him to the treasure chest, got 10k XP, picked up Tactics, Archery, and Wisdom, bought Earth magic in a Conflux town, and headed to a Dragon Utopia. By that time, Town Portal was already in the guild, along with Implosion. The Dragon Utopia gave a Shield +12 and +2 all stats. On the next turn, Aine picked up another useless level 1 Dragon Utopia, and Solmyr approached the Tower town I had captured. At first I didn't manage to chase him away, but on his turn he also didn't attack, for obvious reasons. In that area there was another Dragon Utopia, which was then taken by a level 1 hero with КЗ, and Aine grabbed yet another Dragon Utopia with Wings on the same turn, and I see Solmyr within reach, courtesy of the Wings. With a slightly leveled Coronius and 70 mana, I attack, kill 9 Giants with 2 Implosions, leaving 13 Wyverns, 8 Nagas, and 150 Marksmen, take a Chain Lightning for -3 Angels and -3 Nagas, and buy back with 6 Angels, 10 Giants, etc. On his turn, skd surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

Very rich draft, lots of money, 2 roads, 8 heroes spread out on the first day. At first, Ain was in control, who leveled Earth and took the first Griffin Conservatory 2 at the beginning of the second week, then Miriam picked up the second 2. Tried to scout as much as possible, so burned a lot of timer. The father didn't come until day 126, then suddenly one arrived on the tail section, I immediately sent him to the box, got 10k experience, took Tactics, Archery, and Wisdom, bought Earth in a Conflux village and headed to the Dragon Utopia. At that point, there was already Town Portal in the guild and Implosion. In the Dragon Utopia, I got Shield +12 and +2 All. On the next turn, Ain picked up another useless Dragon Utopia 1, and Solmyr approached the captured Tower computer; at first, I didn't manage to chase him away, but on his turn he also didn't attack, for obvious reasons. In this zone there was another Dragon Utopia, which a 1 from КЗ took next, and Ain picked up another Dragon Utopia with wings on the same turn, and I see Solmyr within reach, provided by the wings; I attack with a slightly leveled Coronius with 70 mana, kill 9 Giants with 2 Implosions, leaving 13 Wyverns, 8 Nagas, and 150 Marksmen, take Chain Lightning for -3 Angels -3 Nagas, and buyback with 6 Angels, 10 Giants, etc. On his turn, skd surrenders.

Thanks for the game!


The opponent played well in terms of building Mage Guild 5 with a library; for me, due to the small amount of money, I had to change resources several times to buy growth and other things, resulting in an unbuilt Mage Guild and lack of control.
I couldn't rush, as most roads led to corner treasure zones and in fact only one road through the purple-central treasure zone with a village—green—led to the opponent, and I reached him very late.
My main by the time I surrendered was already Gunnar, he was sitting in the capital replenishing spell points; the opponent most likely didn't notice him when writing the report).
Coronius turned out to be a very useful scout hero; when Solmyr approached the green computer's tower, I was a little short of killing him, Coronius ran away on a single Genie, although if I had worn the Necklace 3-3 instead of + Speed, I would have killed him—a very unfortunate mistake.
In the final battle, if not for the opponent's buyback in the second round, I would have cast Chain Lightning myself and bought back, since the timer was at zero, and on my turn I would have still had time to hit him, but there was enough surrendered for Dragon Utopia buyback and the opponent made the best decision in the form of a buyback.
I also want to note that the map gives a significant number of factories; considering that I still didn't pick up 3 scouted factories and lost 1 Giant in capturing the turquoise computer, in the final battle I had 9 Giants against the opponent's 10, although he also had 9 Angels =)
Thanks for the game and good luck in the finals.

...it was just a little short of killing him; Coroneus escaped with one Djinn, although if I had worn the 3-3 necklace instead of the +speed one, I would have killed him; it was a very unfortunate mistake.

If it weren't for the +1 speed, I would have killed Solmyr with Tazar, using tactics and angels, and giving him oil in the first round; as you remember, I checked the speed.

As for Gunn, I saw him; he just looked better than Solmyr for the Facebook competition at that time.

Regarding the giants, out of my 10, 5 were from the city.

No, it's true that I started with +1 speed for the first turn, but the mistake was that I didn't switch to +3/+3 in my turn when I attacked Coronius, who was left near your castle with 5 stacks.

No, the fact that I got +1 speed for the first turn is true, but the fact that I didn't switch to +3/-3 during my turn when I attacked Coronius, who was near your castle with 5 stacks, that was a mistake.

Yeah, I didn't have time to equip Coronius with golems and attack... the mistake was that the genie had 3 HP left, and you seemed to be able to reach him with Peg, but you didn't attack.

Hey, I'm not getting any response on Discord, so I'll write here that I can start tomorrow at 10 AM Moscow time. P.S. Unfortunately, I won't be able to provide commentary due to technical reasons.
