Tournament "PATH TO OLYMPUS"


EPILOGUE:

Since new tournaments, both online and offline, appear in the Heroes community every day – or rather, they don't appear at all. I decided to organize and run this tournament. The idea of the tournament is as old as the world itself – only those participants whom I personally approve will be able to participate in it, with the exception of cases where AK prohibits someone from participating. Basically, this category includes players with 1700+ rating points, but I repeat that this criterion is not mandatory for everyone.
The prize fund for the tournament will be 10,000 rubles plus sponsorship money from anyone who wants to contribute. The distribution of prizes will be as follows:
1st place – 70%;
2nd place – 30%.
If you like the idea of the tournament, want to support it, and have the means, any material assistance will go towards increasing the prize fund (all my contact information is provided; call, write, etc.).
Details on how to support the tournament and increase its prize fund:
Qiwi wallet +79372490006
Sberbank card 4276 5600 1455 6874

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Tournament organizer: Dark (303751774).
Tournament judges: Dark (303751774), skd (593626431).
2. The tournament takes place according to the current forum rules, which are currently /topic/10593/.
3. Version for SoD 3.2 (4.0) +HD-mod game.
4. Template selection is done by choosing from a list of 9 templates: 2SM4d(3), Jebus cross, 8xm12a, 8mm6a, 6LM10a, Spider, 8хm8а, Mini-nostalgia, Diamond marked in red in the table starts selecting templates first. In the group stage, red indicates the player listed first in the pair (e.g., No. 1 vs. No. 3, meaning No. 1 is red).
Changes to the main rules regarding the timer:
4.1. Chess timer:
for l+y 16+6+1,
for hl+y 16+8+1,
for jebus 21+8+1.15. (roads only FAST!)
Total restarts 113 (111+111+111, 112+111, 113).
Random castle selection and trade:
The host generates a random pair of castles using a special button. Immediately after generation, each player can request a regeneration once for 500 coins as compensation to their opponent. If at least one castle repeats during regeneration, that same player has the right (but is not obligated) to request one free regeneration. Trading begins with the player who is not the host of the game. If identical castles are drawn (so to speak), a free regen is carried out if at least one player expresses a desire. Provided that both agree to play mirror match, players have the right to ban 1 hero each; the host of the game starts banning heroes. In this case, there is also trading for heroes after the ban.
Color trade.
Starting January 11, 2017, on the Mini-nostalgia template, the order of computer selection will be determined by flipping a coin.
4.2. Guild of Mages restructuring – enabled.
4.3. One-sided unit replacement – disabled.
5. All tournament games will count towards the seasonal rating; an report must be provided for each played game (the organizer has the right to remove a player from the tournament if the player does not confirm the report for the previous game(s)).
6. Saves of all matches must be saved until the end of the tournament and saves and passwords must be presented upon first request from organizers and judges of the tournament. Failure to provide a password may result in a technical defeat. It should also be noted that passwords for saves must also be provided to opponents upon their first request after the game is played; failure to comply with this rule will result in disciplinary action up to and including disqualification.
7. All controversial issues are resolved through the organizer or judges of the tournament. Organizers and judges follow the current forum rules and logic in contentious situations.
8. The organizer reserves the right not to allow a player to participate in the tournament without explanation.
9. If a participant cannot personally agree with their opponent on a game, they must immediately notify the judge. In such cases, the judge decides on scheduling an ODD (One Day Delay).
Minimum game time when scheduling an ODD – 5 hours.
10. There will be 40 participants, and the tournament will be awarded Official status, and the winner will receive an award under their avatar (in development).
11. The winner of the tournament will have the right to participate in the Wild card tournament for FB-11.
12. By submitting your application, you agree to the regulations and terms of the tournament.
13. The tournament organizer reserves the right to change the rules at its discretion, guided by common sense and logic.

3. Players in each group will be assigned numbers: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5. The order of games in the group will occur as follows:

EPILOGUE

We started playing from the very first draw, at the Monere tavern, then Gunnar, and Mullich for good measure :D on the first map Griffin Conservatory in Citadel, on the second Hive and the start was flooded, there was one Griffin Conservatory (1 chicken), Gunnar with 125 4200 MP. On the third I ate everything that was convenient, went to the center, then took the main from the opponent and his companion's Citadel. Grabbed the elixir, was about to place archers, and on my turn the opponent surrenders. Thanks for the game!
everything basically fell into place for the win, but it was far, difficult, and inconvenient
also when I took the companion, I misjudged the moon -- the tricky companion cast Haste on the Troglodytes, and with 8 speed they covered the entire field, I put up a wall, but they struck through it with luck (the companion had as many as 2 morale-luck rings!!)
then I tried to get going through Gosha, Ciele, and another Necromancer, but Gunnar outplayed me
well, and the timer for a normal game on mini-NoSt with several fronts and playing with 3-4 folders is just child's play.... :confused:

It came out after a Dragon Utopia on week 3, month 2, almost from a rush through 25+ green units. Army: 6 Angels, 9 Naga Queens, and miscellaneous troops. There were also 14 Vivi, but they naturally went as food for the dragons (strangely enough, usually the Nagas get targeted). Lucky that Serega had a difficult double ГО, which delayed him at his respawn for a long time. By the time he came out, I had more than enough for a confident victory.

I especially want to describe Moner's leveling in this game. Having expert Log and Offense, I decided to take two Scholars along the road; anyway, Wisdom on Jebus Cross isn't much of a skill. The first Scholar gives First Aid. I take the second one nearby — Advanced First Aid! :D Judging by this, the leveling tree must have gone completely insane. I wouldn't have been surprised to get Necromancy on a level-up. Anyway, the end result: First Aid, Water, Fire, Resistance, Archery... A pure VT-er! Only at the end did Armor spoil the picture :). Well — just to assemble a Warrior, if anyone doesn't know...

Thanks for the game!

Ran out of restarts, so this is a giveaway for luck. On 111, I got the Moon which made the game; immediately grabbed the log and on 1 used the wall to take the crown +4, +3 sp, and a necklace 3+3. On 123, I burst into the super treasure with flies and 360 mana: a box for 15k exp and the library. On 125, a box behind the hydras gave me full air; using the exp air, I outsmarted the Dragon Utopia with 1 air unit and finished it off with ducks using a stick. They also gave me КЗ, so total full control by 126. After that, I took over Castles and farmed objects. In the end, I hit Tanya's already cleared home super treasure via Dimension Door; the army there was decent—11 angels, 36 ducks, and grands—but no mana and lower stats, gg.
P.S. Special thanks to Tanya for the auto-save when my girlfriend distracted me and I stepped on the wall with flies.
Thanks for the game!

Out of restarts, giving it a shot for luck. On 111 Луна arrived which made the game; immediately caught логу and on the 1st wall took the crown +4, +3sp, and a necklace 3+3, on 123 burst into the super-treasure with flies and 360 mana, a chest for 15k exp, library, on 125 a chest behind the hydras for all air units; with exp air I outsmarted the Dragon Utopia's first one with flyers and finished it off with ducks like a noob, also got КЗ, total full control on 126, then took over Castles and farmed objects, at the end caught Таня in her own super-treasure already cleared via Dimension Door; army was decent there: 11 angels, 36 ducks and grands, but no mana and stats are lower, гг.
P.S. Special thanks to Таня for the auto, when my girlfriend distracted me and I walked into a wall with flies.

We both respawned and generated a big good respawn, but the only road went around the mountains and was very long, fortunately it led to the center. The road to the enemy's town was also very long, but it led to the central village with Dragon Utopias and Dragon Fly Hives, all the hives were big. Meanwhile, I sent Naga to gather resources. In short, I played very slowly again and only started taking Dragon Utopias on week 4 with Resurrection. My opponent's stats were low, which gave me hope for a positive result. And indeed, his situation was even worse. With the help of a strategic scouting, I managed to destroy his army on a hero, and the next day I also took his main hero.
Thanks for the game.

Both of us respawned, and a big good respawn was rolled, but the only road went around the mountains and was very long, luckily it led to the center. The road to the comp also turned out to be very long, but at least I ended up in the central village with Dragon Utopias and Dragon Fly Hives, all the hives were big, and I sent a Nag to capture resources, in short, I played very slowly again and only started taking Dragon Utopias on week 4 with Resurrection, my opponent's stats were low which gave me hope for a positive result, and so it turned out — his situation was even worse, and with the help of strategic scouting I managed to wipe out the army on a horse, and the next day the daddy too.
Thanks for the game.

After all the restarts, including the technical one, I ended up with a really bad map, a weak army, no money, many blocked roads, and treasure blocks. Lots of enchantments blocked my way out at the sub-gate. I had Vokial and gathered some skeletons, but the hero was very weak and couldn't collect many skeletons on the swamp. I went into a treasure, but it was also a swamp. Luckily, I got a slow scroll, and with single slows, I could take a Hive and a Conflux. Tazar took another Conflux, and I had a 3rd Conflux in my area. I went to the center at 127-131 with 11 angels, followed the road to Ais, and found more Confluxes. No Topes anywhere, though, so I had a great army but no stats or control. I picked up many scrolls, one of them was a teleport scroll, so I could move around better, but still no DD, even though I took many high-value boxes. The opponent appeared with Wings in one of my treasures with a weaker army, so I attacked him. He surprised me with AOTD, but I had better stats and army.
Thank you for the game!

A block of 5 12k guards in one direction; in the corner center, it didn't reach the city – 10+ griffin riders and 10 necromancer knights. No tempo, no army. The replay showed that it could have been developed further, but there was no point in continuing.

In the archon match, I took an archon with 112 and we started playing. I defended against the crag, got boots, logs, defense, and tactics. At 115, I went to the treasure room, and everything was going well until, with a full-speed charge, my horses crashed into the archon, causing morale loss and taking it with them. This didn't affect the tempo much, as the crag had already eaten a lot, and I had angels set up at the computer castle. But it was incredibly unpleasant, so I was glad to surrender to the lucker. Thanks for the game. P.S. The passwords were Aiwe - luck, mine - hrenaneluck. The most important thing is to counter the luckers from the start! :smile51:
