"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.

The winner of the tournament will receive:
1. An avatar award: King's crown

2. Cash prize: $200 + donation (to a bank account or Paypal) within a week after the results are announced.
Donation:
Noom - 1000 RUR.

I had 1 rest and 111 resources left, but I didn't risk taking it because Kirr, Ciel, and 2 gold miners arrived. In reality, the surrender was below average: no cons, no good exits, and no hidden resources. But Vitaly surrendered even worse, and thanks to the tournament bonus, I had too strong an economic advantage. Plus, Ciel allowed me to easily finish the game when there weren't any other strong armies left. Thanks for the game!

I chose all restarts because all the surrenders were bad.
In the decisive surrender, there was a lack of everything... On turn 121, I saw Kirr with an army within reach, so I decided to attack. After the battle, there were 11 swords and 1 wivern with 1 HP left... I retreated. I thought there would also be problems with the army and buying units, but then Ciel arrived with a good army, and there was nothing to counter it with.
Thanks for the game!
Удача любит подготовленных!!!

King of the Mountain - Lizard
New contender - Maretti
Game duration until August 30
Bidding: -2000, +2000.
Points for winning against the King: +1.
Recording: here

Information
Nitro and most of the participants have agreed to set a limit on the rollback to -4000 and a limit on the number of points for winning against the King - no more than 2 points. At the same time, most agreed to leave the King with 1 point for a win.
I will make the necessary adjustments to the regulations.

At the same time, the majority voted to leave the king with 1 point for each victory.
What was the voting like? I didn't see it clearly. And the fact that few people responded in the chat might mean that people don't want to repeat other people's arguments...

Was anything written above about a vote?
In point 5 of the tournament's organizational questions (1st post of the topic), it is stated:
5. During the tournament, minor adjustments to the regulations may be made.

Setting a limit on the rollback and the number of points awarded for defeating the King (taking into account that the situation has not exceeded this limit in the tournament so far) is a minor adjustment that will not affect the tournament situation based on past results.

Allowing the King to receive more than 1 point for a winning streak, considering that such streaks have already occurred and players with these streaks are already in leading positions, is a significant change.
Nitro is against this change, and at least 3 other participants are also against it. Therefore, there will be no vote on this issue.

Mareti did not respond regarding the game within 24 hours, so a new draw was conducted. The new contender is Sanin. Bidding +2000/-2000, points for a win - 1. The deadline for the game is August 31st. The recording can be found here. The next contender will definitely be herolwy.

The next contender will definitely be - herolwy.
Is there some kind of new rule?
I mean, the rule that if someone hasn't been selected after 3 attempts, they are guaranteed a spot, doesn't really apply to him, because the tournament has been going on for a long time, and he only registered 2 weeks ago:cool:

The first two weeks were a psychological thriller, not a game. 117 Computer-Conflux killed my Solmyr in the castle, leaving me with 1 Air Magic and 2 HP. 123 Jabarkas (the original papa), who was messing around near the Griffin Conservatory for 2 days because of this, takes the Grif-Cons perfectly thanks to moral luck in my favor. An incident occurs here. At the moment of leveling up, the TV cuts out, and as a result, I am not given a skill upgrade. Sanin allowed me to replay - I can't even come close to replicating it, so I have to play from my save after the Cons. Jabarkas, in this most foolish way, didn't level Earth Magic enough at the crucial moment. What's next. I'm slowly leveling Gunnar, who came as the 8th hero, with all my hope resting on his specialty in the late game. 127 Gunnar breaks into the largest treasure zone with 3 Angels and a small chow from the Dungeon. On the road: 50-99 Medusas for the Gloves and the quest ring. The Medusas are 90+ — an excellent split — minus the army, Gunnar spends the night near the Dungeon on the stables. On the third week, I return with Gunnar to this treasure zone, and with 4K+ movement over several days, I make the game. 141 flew into the opponent's capital to build Archangels, but there weren't even Angels standing there )) Had to postpone that, and also mob-ordered some more just to be sure. Also took the Swamp and upgraded the Wyverns. In the finale, no chance, I had more of everything. Thanks for the game.

p.s. 2Lucky: sorry, I was wrong, Gunnar is the bomb, Gosha is not... It's just that Gunnar very rarely works out for me, and I start with Shakti for the Dungeon. Maybe I'm wrong about that too.

The first two weeks were a psychological thriller, not a game. 117 Comp-Conflux killed my Solmyr in the castle, leaving me with 1 air magic on 2hp. 123 Jabarkas (the original papa), who had been idling for 2 days near the Griffin Conservatory due to this mistake, takes the Griffin Conservatory treasure zone perfectly thanks to morale going in my favor. An incident occurs here. At the moment of leveling up, the TV cuts out and I end up not getting a skill upgrade. Sanin let me retry - I can't even come close to that result, so I have to play from my save after the Conservatory. Jabarkas, in this most stupid way, didn't level up earth magic at the crucial moment. And it gets worse. I slowly level Gunnar, who arrived as the 8th hero; all my hopes are on his specialty in the late game. 127 Gunnar rushes into the biggest treasure zone with 3 angels and a small feast from the dungeon. On the road, 50-99 medusas for the gloves and a quest ring. 90+ medusas - an excellent breakdown - army depleted, Gunnar camps near the dungeon at the stables. On the third week, I return with Gunnar to this treasure zone and, with 4K+ movement over several days, I make the game. 141 I flew to the opponent's capital to build arches, but they didn't even have angels stationed there )) Had to postpone that, and I also did some extra looting for safety. I also took the swamp and upgraded the Wyverns. In the final fight, there was no chance; I had everything in abundance. Thanks for the game.

It was clear that slow roads don't suit Castle very well, which is why I took two restarts, but I didn't go for a third; I had to play with slow roads. I beat the computers without any issues, but two out of the three treasure zones turned out to be small: one on sand and another with just a couple of objects. In the third, distant treasure zone, I managed to do a bit of looting, but there was nothing to counter the superior stats with Curse of the Netherworld and the elite artifact.

Thank you for the game!
On the first day, I encountered a Necropolis with 10 vampires, resulting in heavy losses. Afterward, my development was slow, and I kept taking the wrong paths.
But starting in the second week, I began encountering the enemy. Due to my weaker forces, my development was limited, while my opponent acquired 2 Angels. Every encounter resulted in defeat, so I surrendered.

Chose all restarts and a lucky draw! At the resp there are 3 Dragon Utopias, found 3 external horse dwellings and picked up 3 beehives in the three-way... reached day 123 at GO with 3750 MP, all skills are great - earth, attack, pathfinding, wisdom, logistics, archery, at GO I get scouting, with its help I reveal the entire three-way, and it's even native! I grab a Pandora's Box with 12 horses and 5 greens, several beehives, on day 124 I grab a Dragon Utopia with a red orb and see next to the opponent, behind the gr horses, a Pandora's Box + KZ + Hat6all, when there was 1-2 minutes of movement left I realized he wouldn't have time to get them, but then immediately follows a concede.
Thanks for the game!
