"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).

A little bit of math)))) Let's say there are only 2 players in the pool. If one player has a 100% chance of being selected, and the other has a 75% chance, then this means that the first player has a 100/175 chance, and the second player has a 75/175 chance, which is equal to 57% and 43% respectively. That's the whole difference :D

I actually like it even better :D

Thanks to an extra 2k at the trade, I bought up everything I wanted. Started without rests. On the first day, I pulled Moandor level 5 from prison; there is an external dwelling of archers and a couple of cons. I was slightly short for angels, so I settled for monks in the citadel.

At 121 I take a second con, another one a couple of days later. All skeletons and all own-health eaters died. Then it turned out that the road network is such that the opponent is cut off from most of the map, while I have plenty of roads. No one went for contact on the second week; I personally didn't go because of Vidomina's good magic stats.

On the third week, I entered a treasure zone; not far from there are two Dragon Utopias—the first has stats, the second has КВ and wings. A couple of moves later, I covered part of the power through an external tavern, followed by a surrender. Thanks for the game.

Started in the underworld, had double, with 4 cons by the start of the 3rd week I brought out 11 angels, but there is a road junction to the whole map while I have one inconvenient road with a fake external tavern that covers everything possible for me; the only direction is to the super-treasure zone by the village, so I went there, but the opp at 133 already has stats 15-20-17-26 and air control with air at the very first treasure zone from two Dragon Utopias at the entrance, + no fewer angels with an exit to archangels; as for me, after opening the super-treasure zone it's not bad, with a box for all of level 4, a Dragon Utopia for the crown cap and 3 libraries, which gave theoretical chances of victory, but the fake external tavern that hit everything for me, just as I thought, left no chance.
Thanks for the game!

After several resets and rematches, the game went as usual – a rather poor underground map, with a lot of blocks but not many worthwhile relics at the beginning. Meanwhile, my opponent was swimming in money all week, but by turn 121, he started running out. Soon after, I saw a dragon with angels, confirming my suspicions. I had to retreat underground, giving up a lot of hives because I had almost nothing to fight with. My opponent over-leveled a Necromancer to level 8. I couldn't give up Earth magic, so I invested in a Treasure map and found the Orator's Hat, which gave 15% Necromancy, along with decent defenses. But starting from turn 131, he started making mistakes. He messed up almost everything he could. I managed to take back the hat from a hero with almost 100 lords, leaving him with only 4 skeletons. :rolleyes: After that, there was a lot of back and forth. My opponent took back the Wings, which made the game much harder, but I managed to catch his main hero and steal some growth. Then, he prevented me from eating the Treasure hero I was targeting, and he took back the Orb I was trying to steal, but I couldn't. In the end, on turn 134, I bought a hero without troops in the Necropolis and, thanks to the 15+5% Necromancy bonus, I created 750 skeletons in 4 turns. My opponent, on the timer, put 60 ducks on a hero without artifacts and a hero in the garrison with 4 angels, which I took advantage of. Thanks for the game.

It wasn't necessary to write a report before all the circumstances were clarified, but now I will also submit one.
I believe that the red-rush rule was violated. The opponent attacked my town on day 131 with fire elementals that were built and purchased on that day. As a result, I lost the town and my main hero, which set back my development by several days.

The rules have exceptions:
Additions to 2.1. Red-rush.
To 2.1.1.
Clarification 1. The following are not considered an increase and can be used without restrictions:
- troops not purchased in the previous week;
- troops from neutral towns and villages captured on that day;
- troops arriving with purchased heroes and heroes from liberated prisons;
- troops from Outer Dwellings ("caches") and troops from Summoning Portals;
- troops from Pandora's Boxes, Griffin Conservatories, Serpent Nests, Seer Huts, Refugee Camps.

As we can see, there are no exceptions for troops built on the first day of the week in the rules.

This situation does not fall under the definition of a "rush." A rush is an attack on an opponent's hero with reinforcements. Reinforcements are troops that were acquired at the beginning of the first day (for example, when transitioning from day 127 to day 131). Troops acquired after the construction of a building are not reinforcements; they are troops that come "as a package" with the building. Therefore, there is no violation of the rules in this situation.

Yes, according to the rules, that's how it is, but in reality, it's absurd, because there is no difference between reinforcements that appear at the beginning of the turn and troops built on the first day.

There is a difference, and it is significant. Money and resources were spent on the construction, so it is perfectly logical that the units can be used.

Despite the red color, I got a starting hand with one-way creatures, but fortunately they were positioned well enough that I could decently return. The computer opponents made life very difficult, cutting down a lot of low-tier units and meat. I had 3 Griffin Conservatories, two of them at levels 3-4 with Haste, one very far away. I also had a Dragon Utopia at home, but it was unclear how to take it. I popped a Dragon Fly Hive in the tertiary zone for 50-99 Water Elementals, naturally with a scroll there were 100 of them with Haste. Pain, trouble, despair, and minimal result, ultimately +2 ducks. But then I gradually started to ramp up. By week 1, day 31, I took both Conservatories. On day 33, with a built Resurrection, I took a max Dragon Utopia with КВ +4+4, a Crown, and a Neck of +3 All. Then another Dragon Utopia on Citoresp. I built Town Portal, bought Air Magic, and things got hot. I took the opponent's main, grabbing another Dragon Utopia with a Shield +12-3 along the way. The pelvis already looked unkillable. On the same turn, I hopped to a corner village with a single Dragon Utopia (+10-2 belly), where maretti was already heading, but I didn't manage to cover him. I ran for a turn, devoured half of a big tertiary zone with Mana Loaches, and the next turn covered Gunnar without an army at the green computer's home. But even if he had been sitting with an army, it wouldn't have changed anything. Thanks for the game.

Despite the red color, I got a draw with one-way routes, but fortunately they were favorably positioned so I could return adequately. The computers really messed things up, cutting down many loch knights and meat. I had 3 Griffin Conservatories, two of them 3-4 with Haste, one very far away. I also had a Dragon Utopia at home, but it was unclear how to take it. I activated Dragon Fly Hives in the Triple Threat for 50-99 water elementals — naturally with a scroll there were 100 of them with Haste. Pain, trouble, despair, and a mini-hive with +2 ducks as a result. But then I gradually started to ramp up. By 131 I took both Griffin Conservatories. On 133, with a rebuilt Resurrection, I took a max Dragon Utopia with КВ +4+4 Crown and Neck of 3 All. Then another Dragon Utopia on Citoresp. I built Town Portal, bought Air, and things got heated. I took the main opponent's base, grabbing another single Dragon Utopia along the way with a Shield +12-3. The pelvis already looked unkillable. On the same turn I jumped to a corner village with a single Dragon Utopia (+10-2 belly), where maretti was already heading, but I didn't manage to cover him. I ran for a turn, devoured half of a big Triple Threat with loch knights and mana, and a turn later I covered Gunnar without an army at home near the green computer. But even if he had an army, it wouldn't have changed anything. Thanks for the game.
