"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.

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.

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.

A tempo game turned out, the Gundula and a Miner with a couple of stacks arrived, pushed through a couple of directions, found Dragon Fly Hives, Griffin Conservatories and Wings, thanks to which I could take everything quickly and reliably. Without them, given the sands, snows and swamps, I would have simply bogged down. In the end, I assembled an Elixir, 40+ ducks and 6 Angels, took the opponent's Castle company and later the main Solmyr, while I was gathering resources. At 125, a Dragon Utopia with a triple and loss of the Juggernaut, at 126 another one, at 127 I placed the Angels, at 131 upgraded them to Archangels, but Mishanya does a standard super-feint with Amilia and loses on the tricky Dragon Utopia. Thanks for the game :smile16:

Thanks for the game! Fucking Wings

There were a lot of back-and-forth exchanges with the contender bonus, but I really didn't want to give up the Dungeon. I managed to reposition myself successfully when I still had one more move left, and my opponent didn't. I found a hidden stash of cats under the Castle, worth 20 gold, and I also had two stacks and a Lore master in the tavern. I had plenty of money, but I managed to take the hidden stash with what I had, and the computer was on my side. I decided not to reposition, even though I had been playing with two heroes for the first three days, and I ended the week with four. Instead, I placed two portals and put the cats near the computer's Fortress! Vitaly didn't have much luck; he was waiting for a block of 50+ snakes with a +6 shield at the computer's location, and he was also fighting with a defenseless Gundula, without a decent stack of Goblins. He couldn't defeat them, so thank you for your time.

There were a lot of comebacks with the Challenger bonus, but I didn't want to give up the dungeon in Might and Magic. I managed to rest successfully when I had 1 rest left, and my opponent had none. I found a hidden stash of cats near the castle for under 20 nomads, but there were 2 stacks and a Lore Master in the tavern. I had a lot of money, but I managed to take the hidden stash with what I had, and the computer was playing on the same difficulty as me. I decided not to rest, even though I played the first 3 days with 2 heroes, and finished the week with 4. Instead, I placed 2 portals and put the cats near the computer's fort! Vitaly didn't have a good game. The computer had a block of 50+ snakes with a +6 shield, and he was fighting with a defenseless Gundula, without a decent stack of gnolls. He couldn't defeat them. Thanks for the game.

I took 3 rests on bad maps, but the decisive one turned out to be good for me, but I played poorly and didn't have any options where to go and where to level up. I attacked the flies, but there were 60+ of them, so I couldn't break through and retreated, leaving 10 flies. Then I came back and finished them off, but I didn't feel like playing anymore and decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game!

Explain why the contender still has a 25% chance after the draw. I specifically tracked this, as at the time of the draw, only I and Falcone had a 50% chance.

herolwy also has 50%.

Your question is not entirely clear.

If you mean why, after a contender is chosen, their chance of being chosen again doesn't decrease below 25%, then according to paragraph 2 of section 4 of the Tournament Format: "A reduction in the coefficient is provided, up to 0.25 - it does not fall below this value" (0.25 = 25%).

If you mean why, after a contender with a 25% chance of being chosen is selected, the chance doesn't reset to 100%, then paragraph 3 of section 4 of the Tournament Format is taken into account: "If the coefficient of all participants reaches 0.25, its value is restored to the initial value." That is, as long as there are participants in the tournament with a coefficient higher than 25% (Falcone, FireToSky, herolwy), when other participants are chosen, their chance of being chosen again remains at 25%. As soon as all participants in the tournament have a coefficient of 25%, it will be restored to 100% for all participants.

Okay, I understand. So, there is a theoretical possibility that the team with 25% will advance to the second round and remain at the same 25%, while we, with 50%, won't be eliminated for another N rounds. From a mathematical point of view, the theory seems to work, but in some cases, it would be a complete failure.

Changing the rules mid-tournament isn't ideal, but in this case, an exception can be made (because with the current system, if one player has 50% and the rest have 25%, any player with 25% can be eliminated any number of times without losing percentages until only the player with 50% remains).

I suggest that each time a player is eliminated, their coefficient is reduced by approximately half (100% -> 50% -> 25% -> 10% -> 5% -> 2% -> 1% -> 0.50% -> 0.25% -> 0.10% -> ...).

When all players' coefficients become less than 2%, multiply them by 100 to avoid unnecessary decimal places.

No. There's a very simple solution for this. Now, players with a 50% chance should be eliminated, and we start a new round. In reality, I was eliminated only twice. Meanwhile, many other players were eliminated 4-5 times. This is not balanced.

There is no balance in this tournament at all; it's just for fun. So, just play when your chance comes up and enjoy it!

We negotiated well, I started with a decent advantage. My opponent took Dessu to capture Gunnar. The game progressed quite quickly. My allied player and I secured our respective towns and the connecting road. I deployed birds in my town and my allied town, and captured three goblin nests. In the second turn, I acquired a large number of units, including meat wagons of levels 1, 2, and 5. I focused on two fronts, aiming for two artifacts and then a third artifact found in a treasure. The Necropolis faction wasn't working well for my opponent, unlike my own. They had a group led by a Gosh, but, as usual, the stats on the Spider were lacking. Also, my opponent didn't arrive with a particularly large army. I didn't manage to ambush him in the village, where he had a good chance to defeat me, but in the next turn, with double mana and an enhanced spell, he had no chance. Thanks for the game.

We traded normally, I started with a decent plus; to take Gunnar from the opponent, I took Dessu. The game played out quite quickly, my native AI ally nearby and my home village were lost via off-road movement. I placed birds for myself and the AI, took 3 goblin external dwellings; at the second one, I took cons with a heap of meat levels 1 2 5. I worked on two fronts; by the time I got 2 artifacts and then found a third in the treasure zone for Necropolis, the Neccs didn't work out at all, which isn't true for the opponent—they had a pack led by Goshan. But as usual on Spider, they didn't bring any stats, and the opp arrived with not such a large army. He didn't manage to strike in the village where he had great chances to kill me, but a turn later with double mana and increased spell power there were no more chances. Thanks for the game.

Because of saves, I again played the late game poorly; motivation for the game disappeared, which took its toll. I rushed although I could have strengthened further, looked for Dragon Utopia and reclaimed the cloak from magic via DD.
Thanks for the game.
