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.

The opponent never got any jumps throughout the entire game. Meanwhile, I had TP and DD from scrolls since the second week, and 2 Logisticians in my caps.
Thanks for the game.

[/U]in the game between Grizi and Herowly, I doubt I'll grant an extension. No one from the odd side has contacted me; I advise you to hurry.
Is tomorrow the last day of the round? Or what is the reason for this nitpicking specifically about our match?

The 18th is the last day of the tour. He's Chinese. There's no English version of the rules, and the forum is also in Russian, can you imagine?

Thanks for the game!
Gosha joined from the start, which I was incredibly glad about. But then the generator apparently demanded payment: first it took fire, then earth, and finished me off with water. No logs or attacks. On the first day, after taking two villages, I opened long roads to the computers, which didn't interest me much: Barbarian castles. In that case, it was decided to go straight into the treasure zone. At 125, having taken 3 red external dwellings and 12 vives, Gosha crashed back home — he saw nothing more interesting there. The next day, Loshok revealed the Dragon Utopia and Gosha returned to the treasure zone to take it at 131. He got a +all hat and КВ. At 134, after leveling up Klava with logs, I took Oppa's Tower with TP and DD, then misclicked and dismissed 3 angels from the army and, deciding by observation that the opponent was in the treasure zone, exited the captured castle while rushing, exposing Klava. But even without this stupidity, the chances were extremely slim — there was no daddy with earth and air right away to oppose a perfectly leveled Kira, and the layout there was even more ownable.
Thanks for the game.

I bargained for a Castle for 1900, considering that Vanya was haggling, as I understood, for Conflux based on the town he took after the deal. I spent 1 restart, and on the 2nd go I got a layout with a Gosh, an external dwelling of Archers, and some gold, but Vanya revealed the Moon, and I became wary and spent a long time thinking about a restart. I didn't take it; I went all-in on Gosh with Mullich and 40 Archers and Stables along the way. Week 1, Cavalry in the Citadel scouted a Dragon Utopia, 3 Griffin Conservatories on the respawn, emerging with 1 Follower revealed an orange Conflux computer; a lookout there revealed 2 Dragon Fly Hives and a Griffin Conservatory with road connections. Week 2, I collected the Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Fly Hive, also found a Dimension Door scroll, and rushed to the computer since there was nothing to do in my zone — I couldn't take the Dragon Utopia. Week 3, I broke through from the computer into the underground and revealed an Inferno computer, a Dragon Utopia, and 3 Griffin Conservatories with 11 Angels from the lookout. From there, there was also a portal to Vanya, which I didn't take against him; if he had gone earlier, I would have been finished, since he has the Moon with high Spell Power, and I have neither Haste, Air Magic, nor enough Mana. In a burst, I reached the main town where Dessa was with 2 Angels. After picking up the Dragon Utopia for a +3 Ally Necklace and a Sword +12, I went to Vanya's home. In the end, I gathered 20 Angels. The next turn, I surrendered. Thanks for the game.

20 Archons, 60 Monarchs, and a large number of ranged units under the control of Oppa and his hero with a small army turned the game in my favor + a Knight with full control and 4600 movement points.

I was constantly losing tempo, so the outcome was inevitable.

I bargained for Castle for 1900, considering that Vanya was negotiating, as I understood, for Conflux judging by the town he took after the trade. I spent 1 restart and on the 2nd I got a layout with Gosh, an external dwelling of Marksmen, and gold. However, Vanya revealed Luna and I became wary and thought about a restart for a long time. I didn't take it, I put all my stake on Gosh with Mullich and 40 Marksmen and stables along the way. Week 1, horses at the Citadel, scouted a Dragon Utopia, 3 Griffin Conservatories on the respawn. The exit from 1 hero revealed an orange Conflux AI; there, scouting showed 2 Dragon Fly Hives and a Griffin Conservatory with a fork in the roads. Week 2, I collected a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive, also found a Dimension Door scroll and rushed to the AI since there was nothing to do in my zone — nothing to take the Dragon Utopia with. Week 3, I broke through from the AI into the underground and revealed an Inferno AI, a Dragon Utopia, and 3 Griffin Conservatories with 11 Angels from scouting. From there there was also a portal to Vanya which I didn't take; if he had gone earlier, I would have been doomed since he has Luna with high spell power and I have neither Haste nor Air Magic, nor much mana. From the start I reached the main where Dessa with 2 Angels was sitting. Having taken the Dragon Utopia for +3 Attack, a Necklace, and an Sword of +12, I went to Vanya's home. In the end, I gathered 20 Angels. On the next turn came the surrender. Thank you for the game.
There were even chances against chocolate. I chose the wrong directions, as a result of which Galthran's arrival was unexpected and critical.
Thank you for the game!

At home there are three cons for 5 angels, and three roads, and over there are boots with 112; Dragon Utopia gave wings, but I was cut off from the map. Thanks for the game!

I have three Griffin Conservatories at home for 5 angels, and three roads, and there are boots of speed with 112, a Dragon Utopia gave wings, but I was cut off from the rest of the map. Thanks for the game!
A lucky map – got boots on the second day, then developed quickly, soon gathered 7 angels, met the enemy in the second week, moved forward directly to suppress him, leaving him with little room to expand. By the third week, I had built TP and Fly in the Tower town.
The opponent ventured to the dragon and got wings and a giant sword, brought 15 Black Knights, 5 angels, and 600+ skeletons into my attack range. I engaged him directly. Because his hero stats were far behind and he lacked Air Magic and Haste, his entire army was wiped out, and he surrendered.
thx for game

We picked all the rests and 1 on the meeting. 3 stacks arrived, thanks to them I managed to take the Griffin Conservatory on 116 with 150 Troglodytes and Bless. Then I dropped by on 121 with Angels and cut off part of the growth. Next, a war for territory, and by 126 I had already taken all the castles. In a couple of days, while I was rushing to finish the job, Ed managed to snatch 2 Griffin Conservatories for 7 Angels.
In the end, I place a Castle in his native secondary town, otherwise things would be bad. And I even made a powerful hit-and-run with the Angels, removing a dozen Grands. Ed decided to attack on 131, and in a sweaty, razor-thin finale, I defend myself.
Thanks for the game!

We chose all the rest stops and 1 meeting point. 3 stacks arrived, thanks to which I was able to take, on turn 116, a level 3 consul with a 150-unit flash of troglodytes. Then, I visited on turn 121 with angels and reduced some of the growth. Next, there was a war for territory, and on turn 126, I already took all the castles. In a couple of days, while I was running to finish things off, Ed managed to take 2 consuls with 7 angels.
As a result, I place a castle in his secondary territory; otherwise, things will be bad. And I even managed a powerful hit-and-run with angels, eliminating a dozen grand units. Ed decided to attack on turn 131, and in a tense final battle, I narrowly defended.
Thank you for the game!
A series of mistakes on my part led to defeat.

Thank you for the game!
