As previously mentioned, the goal of HotA is to move away from all verbal restrictions; all functionality should be implemented programmatically. A significant portion of these restrictions has already been implemented, but some things remain ...

One such unresolved topic is Diplomacy. Many options have been proposed—from tuning numbers to radically changing the functionality. However, the problem with all such ideas is that their effect is difficult to evaluate mentally, as there are few clues in existing tournament experience.

Therefore, an idea arose to create such a clue—to hold a tournament with slightly curtailed Diplomacy. Rampart was chosen as the starting castle, as it has both a top diplomat and a strict examiner—a honored master of sports in athletics.

Rules:

1) Game version - HotA+HDmod+HWrulez (latest versions for all)

2) All games are played as Rampart

3) Diplomacy may be used to join troops of levels 1-5. This rule may change in either direction during the tournament; stay tuned for updates.

(!) in HW_Rulez, you must play without the "HW rules" checkbox checked (!)

4) Tournament format - Olympic bo3.

5) Templates:
- Jebus Cross
- Mini-Nostalgia
- Diamond
- 6lm10a
- Spider
- h3dm1
- mt-Diamond

In the first game, the player who is higher in rating chooses the color and template; the player who is lower in rating chooses the hero.

In the second game, it's the opposite. The template must be different.

In the third game (if necessary), the same-color player chooses a template from the 5 remaining templates. The same-color player starts if they are lower in rating. Color/hero is negotiated; the winner of the negotiation chooses either the color or the hero.

6) Games are played with simultaneous turns. By agreement, they can be played without them. Simultaneous turn deadlines:
- 7 days for Jebus Cross, h3dm1
- 5 days for Diamond, mt-Diamond, 6lm10a, Spider
- 12 days for Mini-Nostalgia

7) Restarts. For mirrored templates - 1 day, for others - 3 days.

8) Timer = 16+8+1 on all templates.

9) Red-rush is allowed on all tournament templates.

Other rules are standard.

Players have the right, by mutual agreement, to make any changes to the rules except for the choice of starting castles.

Miscellaneous:
- This is a fan tournament
- Tournament games go into the seasonal rating by default; they can be played without rating by mutual agreement
- The winner will be awarded something for their avatar (suggestions are welcome).

Registration lasts 2 weeks, the tournament starts on 11.11.2016 (immediately after the 2nd round of the swamp tournament ends)

Registration is closed.

35 people signed up, so there will be 3 qualification pairs for newcomers and a pair of "examiners":

Hello everyone! Does diplomacy actually work for anyone?
I played as Ryland on Jebus Cross up to turn 132 and no one ever joined.
What could be the reason for this?

Yeah, unlucky with the diplo. Got carried away collecting cons at the respawn (gathered 15 Angels) and left too late.
Thanks for the game!

Due to technical issues, replays, and prolonged matches, the round duration is extended by 1 week – until December 16, 2016.

korvet is unable to play, so korvet will be replaced by yarik1987.

u2noob – yarik1987.

We replayed the game on Jebus, and I won again :) Thanks for the "exciting" game! This time, there was no Red Rush from my side, although it was allowed ;) There were two things I didn't like about the game with this "WORTHY" opponent:
1) At the beginning of the last game session (continuing the game after saving), a viewer with a very familiar nickname was watching my stream; maybe someone just created it by chance ;) By the way, it's still unknown how my opponent found out about my Red Rush in the previous game without exchanging passwords:rolleyes: Just a coincidence, I guess ;)


2) Also, at the beginning of the last game session, I was denied the opportunity to recall my upcoming move after loading the auto-save. I would ask the tournament organizer to indicate this aspect of the rules in the tournament header so that there are no unclear situations with "Powerful" players :)
P.S. I signed up for paid "Anger Management" courses with Jack Nicholson and didn't insult my opponent once on the stream ;) I will try to improve in this area!

P.s. to avoid any complaints about Vasya, I reported the rare rush, as Zhubi doesn't really like to inform his opponent about his own violations.

The admin thinks differently... the ability to recall the position is a player's right.

I don't recall such a thing happening))) Well, there are a couple of individuals on the site, but even they were always willing to cooperate if you could communicate properly.

The very first surrender — I see a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive, let's play.
Opponent doesn't take res.
I find a university with Diplomacy, hire it for Kyrre! :)
GO Arch Devils, not good, but in the Castle village I build Archangels))
And I try to save the timer, I don't build complex chains.
From external dwellings only Dwarves; I didn't have enough 50 MP to take a captured external dwelling.
On day 121 with stables, Kyrre takes the maximum Griffin Conservatory, the Dwarves are sacrificed.
Then, instead of a rush straight to GO, I try to join 2 stacks of ears, but they don't want to (not a single join happened the whole game).
I only go to the center on day 124, without oil and Archangels — instead of digging for gold to upgrade, for some reason I ran to take a Lich's workshop and even lost there.
Then Arch Devils — pain-pain-pain.
And so Kyrre is in the center, and on the road there's a lot of some upgraded crocodiles — so what if they move standing up instead of lying down))) auto-combat shows a win with losses, but I just had to show off! :D In real combat, the crocodiles simply don't die; how auto-combat could kill them is still unclear :confused: presumably the Nix ability in it works somehow differently — no other explanation.
Kyrre is in the tavern, no money, might as well surrender!
But the ducks and Grand Ears not taken at GO say "don't".
I flee with Kyrre to the center, build chains to the unclaimed Dragon Fly Hives, near one of which there's a Shrine with oil))
Everything is carried by Kyrre; we beat a horde of Liches for a Zeffir with a box for experience, run further — oh, Riordan! :eek: And the central dungeon near blue's GO.
I take it; the doubling artifact isn't built, but I have enough moves to attack further.
There, almost 40 ducks in one stack and practically no mana; the undead Pegasus left by the Liches prevents casting.
Trade-off, Riordan buys himself out!
I send scouts to blue's respawn; the horizon seems clear; Octavia is in the tavern, and Kyrre finally has oil))
And so the central guards are somehow kicked; the Devils' external dwelling is taken; at home, Angels are also growing.
On day 127, Clava kills my scout but doesn't run far.
Scouting discovers blue's army there too; I defeat Kyrre at the second Devils' external dwelling, take the money, and on the way grab some Shacks slightly off-road — the cash was just barely enough to bring everything to Kyrre.
I attack, opponent writes gg.
1:0, thanks for the game
