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:

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.

TOURNAMENT REGULATIONS

In case of equal points in a group, the following items will be considered first:
a) Berger coefficient (calculated only based on results shown in the group),
b) Head-to-head match,
c) Points scored in the game "weigh" more than technical defeats,
d) Decision of judges.
2. Seeding into groups is done according to the overall rating at the discretion of the organizer. Aim for no more than 2 players in a group with the same rating range.
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:
Round 1 – No. 1 vs. No. 2 and No. 3 vs. No. 4;
Round 2 – No. 5 vs. No. 1 and No. 3 vs. No. 2;
Round 3 – No. 4 vs. No. 1 and No. 2 vs. No. 5;

Round 5 – No. 5 vs. No. 3 and No. 2 vs. No. 4.
The order of games in the groups is mandatory for everyone, but if you have the opportunity to additionally play the remaining games within these deadlines, no one will object.
4. The deadline for each game in the group stage is 10 days.
5. Draws are not possible at this stage. In case of controversial situations regarding the results of a game or an unfinished game within the deadline, saves from such a game may be submitted to the tournament judges for adjudication.
Awarding points:
Victory – 3 points; defeat – 0.

4. Players in the losers' finals, winners' finals, and grand final must stream all games live on www.heroes3.tv. Players who neglect this rule or who do not have the ability to stream or experience technical problems will be disqualified from the tournament without exception. In other words, no streaming - ban (you will have almost the entire tournament to comply with this requirement).

EPILOGUE

A huge respawn with one road spawned; in the adjacent zone, the road was blocked by a lot of liches — I went to farm the respawn. I moved out on 123, defeated 49 liches, and took an empty Pandora's Box. There weren't that many hives; on 131, I unlocked wings and things got more fun. I took a 1st-level Dragon Utopia with water control and wanted to take the next one; in the process, I happened to capture the opponent's main, leading to a forfeit. Thanks for the game!

A huge respawn lane with a single road was given up; in the adjacent zone, the road was blocked by a lot of liches - went to farm the respawn. Came out on day 123, broke through 49 liches, took an empty Pandora's Box. There weren't too many hives; on day 131, I broke the wings and things got more fun. Took the 1st Dragon Utopia with water control and wanted to take the next one; in the process, I grabbed the opponent's main, followed by a surrender. Thanks for the game!

The chocolate dropped. I built Angels, took a tier-3 Griffin Conservatory with Grass Terrain on day 117 using a "Tanta" hero, and collected an external Angel dwelling found deep in the respawn. On day 121, I picked up another tier-3 Griffin Conservatory with a scout hero. On day 122, I got a Maximus Ultimate and a +1 Speed Ring in the treasure zone, though the mages cut down 100+ skeletons from the scout. Then, along the path, I took a tier-2 Griffin Conservatory with "Papa," and found Boots nearby. I emerged into the opponent's adjacent zone on day 123. On day 124, I almost reached his village. The opponent attacked on his turn with 200+ Troglodytes, 5 Angels, 2 Green Unicorns, 11 Greater Eyes, and after a couple of rounds he conceded.
Thanks for the game.

Built an Angel faction, took a Tanton Consul 3 with a Guardian Statue on a grass tile at level 117, and added a few more Angel units.

The chocolate gave way. Built Angels, took a Tazar with 3 Griffin Conservatories with GS on grass by day 117 and picked up an external Angel dwelling found deep in the respawn. By day 121, I picked up another 3 Griffin Conservatories with a scout hero. On day 122, in the treasure zone, I got a Maxi-Uny and a Ring of +1 Speed, though the mages cut down 100+ Skeletons on the scout hero. Then along the path, "Papa" took another 2 Griffin Conservatories, and nearby I found Boots of Speed. I emerged into the opponent's adjacent zone on day 123. By day 124, I barely didn't reach his village. The opponent attacks on his turn with 200+ Troglodytes, 5 Angels, 2 units of Greater Unicorns, 11 Greater Gorgons, and after a couple of rounds, surrenders.
Thanks for the game.
On day 123, Tazar emerged into my only path to the underground with 13 Angels, nowhere to run, Shakti has 1 spell power, Tazar has full mana. Thanks for the game

Roads existed but were very long; the Dragon Fly Hives and Conflux didn’t appear. At the end of the first week, I found boots and later Moandor caught a log—only that was pleasing. On the third week, I broke into the treasure zone where there were several Dragon Fly Hives, but the most important thing was the Blue Cap and also a Shield +4 All; Town Portal was already at home. From the overview, I spot a village not far away. I decide to refill mana at home and use a scout hero to take the village via Dimension Door, then clear the treasure zone further from it, since a bit farther in that zone there were Dragon Utopias—or to ambush Gunnar, who seemed to be heading toward that same village. In the end, Gunnar takes the village, does reconnaissance, and Town Portals out of there. Presumably, he should have been out of mana and flew to a town where I could reach him with 2 Dimension Doors from that village. That’s how it turned out: the scout hero takes the village, and Moandor ambushes Gunnar in the castle with no mana at all.
Thanks for the game.

There were roads, but they were very long; the Dragon Fly Hives and confluxes didn't spawn. At the end of the first week, I found Boots [of Speed] and later Moandor caught a Log [artifact] — that was the only thing that made me happy. On the third week, I broke into the treasure zone, where there were several Dragon Fly Hives, but most importantly, a Blue Cap and a Shield +4 All. I already had Town Portal at home; from the observation tower, I spotted a village not far away. I decided to replenish mana at home and use a scout hero to take the village via Dimension Door, and then clear the treasure zone further from there, since there were Dragon Utopias a bit further in it — or to intercept Gunnar, who seemed to be heading to that village as well. As a result, Gunnar takes the village, performs reconnaissance, and Town Portals away from there. Presumably, he should have been out of mana and flew to a town where I could reach him with 2 Dimension Doors from that village. That's exactly what happened: the scout hero takes the village, and Moandor intercepts Gunnar in the castle completely out of mana.
Thanks for the game.

A rather interesting game, with a bunch of lizards at the start, thanks to which, with ranged forced onto the main hero, I headed towards the central treasure zone, which turned out to be a small area with just mines. I took 3 Hives scattered across all corners of the map during the game. The map turned out to be very poor in terms of units. Furthermore, my opponent emerged at a very opportune time for himself, taking a village with 4 GM (and Town Portal had just been built there) on the second week. I managed to fight back thanks to the lack of decent stacks besides skeletons, a Battle Solmyr, and scrolls of Town Portal and Dimension Door. I pushed the opponent back to my respawn, but he managed to snatch a Dragon Utopia from me, which gave a nice boost, but his army became even smaller thanks to the efforts of my dragons and mages. In the end, the main hero captured castle #137, where I placed Angels, and on day 141 it was the Angel week :smile03: plus a Griffin Conservatory (3) near the town. In short, I buffed up, but not buying enough Angels and not taking the Conservatory, I went after my opponent, who had had castle #1 since the end of the first week. I thought he had built up too, hoping to snatch a win, but the opponent was sitting there. I had only bought three Angels, and had 20 Swarms. In the end, he cast Armageddon right in my face; out of 400 Skeletons, only 250 remained, and my Angel resisted. I had 3 Swarms, 2 Lightning Bolts — an Angel — 60 Skeletons, and a retreat. Afterwards, I bought Angels, took the Conservatory, and a couple of turns later the opponent came to visit me himself and got slapped around, lacking first speed. 7 Angels with Anti-Magic on the main hero cleaned up. Thanks for the game.
