Regulations

Rules.

1. Game version: The tournament is held on HotA version 1.4.2 (or the latest available version) + ХВ Rules 1.38 (or the latest available version).
2. The tournament is held according to the rules for online games in the HoTA section.
3. Maps: The tournament is held on the Diamond map; if a decisive game is needed, it will be played on the Mt_Diamond (Mirror) map.
Roads - medium.
On the Diamond map, after determining the starting cities/heroes and colors, players eliminate one city each (the player who lost the bidding eliminates first), after which the winner of the bidding determines the starting cities for the computers without repetition.
On the Mt_Diamond map, the starting cities for the computers are determined randomly.
3. Restarts: For Diamond – 112, for Mt_Diamond – 111.
4. On the Diamond map, the starting color and city (hero), and on the Mt_Diamond map, the starting color and hero are determined by bidding.
5. Since there is a bid, redrawing is allowed.
6. Bidding rules:
In the "Castle Selection" section of the ХВ Rules options, the server-player clicks "Random vs Random" (when playing on Diamond) or "Random City" (when playing on Mt_Diamond), as a result of which a random pair of cities / city is generated, and the bidding begins.
*At the request of one of the players, if a mirror pair appears on the Diamond map, the pair will be regenerated.
*After determining the city on the Mt_Diamond map, before the start of the bidding, players have the right (but are not obliged) to eliminate one hero each (the player indicated second in the pair eliminates first).
The bid must be a multiple of "100".
The winner of the bid gets the opportunity to choose: take the right to choose the castle (hero) or the right to choose the color, and the loser in the bid receives the remaining choice (that is, a single bid is held).

Tournament format.

1. The tournament is held according to the Olympic system up to 2 wins in a match. After losing a match, the losing player leaves the tournament.
2. Schedule:
Registration for the tournament ends at 8:00 PM Moscow time on August 21, 2016.
A match to 2 wins is played within 28 calendar days (with the exception of New Year's holidays).
3. Tournament games are played with a chess timer.
Timer for the "Diamond" map - 19:00+08:00+01:15.
Timer for the "Mt_Diamond" map - 24:00+08:30+01:30.

Bought a blue dungeon for 2500. On the respawn: an external dwelling of eyes, 2 zombie cottages, and a shield +4 all for a horde of djinns — I'm playing, and Gunnar also spawned on 111, but ended up being nothing more than a noob. The miner leveled up great, but the lack of logistics was frustrating. In the adjacent zone, 3 hives (on 22 ducks), a Dwarf Cottage, a Dragon Utopia, a Pandora's Box (10 exp), and a prison for a horde of swords were revealed. By the end of week 2, I had collected everything and revealed the opponent's Inferno town. I decided to push since I had an advantage in power and stats. I took the town and revealed an overview that showed an unclaimed КВ for scorpicores, a Dragon Utopia, 3 hives, and a wolf pen. I sat the miner in the Castle. On the next turn, Solmyr appeared with Dimension Door and Fly and 12 spell power. I pick up 16 cyclops from 2 pens with noobs, totaling +16 cyclops, and attack. Battle stats: 17 12 vs 2 2, much less mana, but again a significant power advantage and +2 speed. With expert tactics, I cut down 9 ducks, about 70 caps, and single gargoyles, leaving the opponent with 1 duck, 24 stone golems, 15 caps, and 2 single gargoyles. The opponent casts mass haste after my mass slow, then on the next turn summons 48 air elementals, mass slow again. After all attacks, only one duck and air elementals remain for the opponent; he casts implosion — killing all cyclops — and flees. I leave the army in the Castle and offer the miner for ransom with +2 speed for double mana. Solmyr shows up again with small fry, defeats 2 noobs, and on his turn, with a delivery of 2 devils, I finally kill him. Thanks for the game. 1 - 0

Solmyr cheesed me again on small fry, routed 2 noobs, and on his turn with a reinforcement of 2 devils I finally kill him. Thanks for the game. 1 - 0

I took out a level 5 marksman for 115 gr. medusas on 124 :smile30: with a cape and 10 spell power easily with almost no losses.

The opponent sat with an army in a town in the adjacent zone, I rushed to cover him in the city with magic and implosion on 1200 and... forgot that on Diamond there is only 1 Dimension Door, even with expert air.

After that, I could have run around with the marksman, but I just didn't have the motivation anymore.

Thanks for the game.

I decided not to restart because of a decent amount of gold, although at first it didn't look very good. Then, as it turned out, it was worth it: adjacent zone dungeon + dwelf drakes.

The opponent surrendered.

Thanks for the game.

Didn't restart due to a decent amount of gold, although it didn't look great at first. Later, it turned out to be not in vain: adjacent zone dungeon + drake dwelling.

Opponent surrendered.

Thanks for the game.

Played out a hopeless situation because of a revealed Griffin Conservatory and a Skeleton Transformer along the way, but for the entire first week prayed to RNG on 5 heroes, took the 20 Dwarf Cottage with 4 lords, and that delayed the surrender. Then with 12 vampires, some of what was available could have been taken, but for some reason decided to attack 100+ swords with Gundula's lords, and there was an ambush there + GS — they buried me. Thanks for the time 1-1.

I went for a hopeless game because of a revealed Griffin Conservatory and a Skeleton Transformer on the way, but I prayed on 5 heroes for the entire first week, took the 20 Dwarf Cottage with 4 lords, and that delayed the surrender. Then with 12 vampires I could have taken something from what was available, but for some reason I decided to attack 100+ swords with a Gundula of lords, and there they were an utter disaster + Gorgons - they buried me. Thanks for the time 1-1.

I didn't quite understand how 12 lords didn't kill the swords...?

Well, Quick doesn't kill.

Added 3 minutes later
My imagination also conjured up a picture where there are 140 of them, 7*20, you're waiting in the corner with vampires, and then BAM, a full GS stack hits you twice, and then it hits again with a regular stack, and you don't have time to suck back. And Gundula has zero...:smile39:

And the Gundula has almost no base offense and only +2 to defense, plus it had morale! Everything was there. :)
I just checked, it would have been taken down without a Guardian.

An extremely epic game. On turn 112, I take a box with 90 gnolls and use these guys to break through the enemy's level 1 stronghold. At the end of the week, I open a Dungeon with a level 20 Tiraqsor with perfect stats, who immediately becomes my main hero. At the beginning of the second week, the first contact occurs, and on turn 126, the opponent takes my main hero, Gunnar, and leaves him there overnight with two angels. Instead of continuing to clear a promising area with three pandoras and three zephyrs, I try to overwhelm him with Tiraqsor. As a result, I fall short by a few moves and end up staying overnight in a village, which puts me in a terrible position. Tiraqsor is attacked by Luna, who commits suicide with Armageddon. Tiraqsor survives with 1 angel and 1 duck, and Gunnar with three angels and units comes to finish him off, but the chain lightning and ranged attack of 200 save the game.
Thank you for the game!

Extremely epic match. On day 112, I pick up the box with 90 Gnolls and use these guys to break a level 1 Griffin Conservatory. At the end of the week, I open a prison with Tyraxor at level 20 with perfect skills, who immediately becomes my main. At the start of the second week, first contact happens, and on day 126, the opponent takes over my main Gunnar and stays there overnight with two Angels. Instead of continuing to clear a promising treasure zone area with three Pandoras and three Zepplins, I try to cover him with Tyraxor. In the end, I fall short by a few moves and stay overnight in a village, which horribly exposes me. Tyraxor gets covered by Luna, who commits suicide with Armageddon. Tyraxor survives on 1 Angel and 1 Duck, and Gunnar with three Angels and a few low-tier units immediately moves in to finish him off, but the tent upgrade and a ranged unit at 200 pull off the win.
Thanks for the game!

Everything looked promising, with good scouting early on and many villages. On day 121, a level 2 Griffin Conservatory falls; on day 122, Luna burns through a group of Pegasi for КО. I understand that I need to make contact as quickly as possible, before the opponent finds a Ban on Magic. I could have gone to collect objects, of which there were plenty, but I only took what was along the way. In the end, I rushed, not quite managing to level up Luna enough, who would have killed 4 Angels with a single Armageddon.
Thanks for the game!
