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.

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 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:

EPILOGUE

Mikhail had a very modest starting position in terms of army and land; he couldn't take the town, unlike my starting position and hero quality.

Thanks for the game!

He definitely got crushed.

Built Town Portal before the opponent, got good stats from the utop and went to hunt Tazara with 2 Dimension Door. Drove them out of the treasure a couple of times, and then caught up in the main.
Thanks for the game!

Goshan, from day one, hiding giants behind rags, excellent roads, gloves, boots, and of course, Quest and Conflux with drowned creatures. Couldn't lose.

Ghoshan from day one, external dwelling of giants behind the rags, excellent roads, gloves, boots, and KV + KZ with Dragon Utopia. Couldn't lose.
Thanks for the game!
He gave up 5 decently spaced conscripts and a Dragon Utopia within sight range, but the roads were so-so; near the Dragon Utopia, the road turned into a zigzag that took 1.5 weeks to traverse. In the Dragon Utopia, they naturally gave me something bad. I could only go in another direction starting on week three, and I captured a city where I could build a Mage Guild only on turn 133, and immediately built a second Mage Guild, although it didn't help. By the time the Mage Guild level 5 was finished, there was, of course, no control. On turn 137, they came and took my main town, and I couldn't even get my army back to fight because it was stuck in a death loop in the snows, where, besides that one Dragon Utopia, there was nothing else. I tried to defend myself with lightning bolts, using an amplifier and decent spell power, hoping to reduce Armageddon at some point. The opponent split his main stack of Vivs into 3 stacks once, but he lacked 150 damage against the giants to self-destruct along with Galtrane... well, then the Titans arrived. Thanks for the game.
P.S. And here's just what I'll leave here.)

Everything was restyled, and it turned out to be a very tense match with both sides quickly running out of time. Red Gunnar ultimately made the difference, managing to be everywhere. Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!
I managed to break the first utopia on day 124, with a +12 helmet. On day 131, I broke two more, and in the second one, I caught a quest item. It was passed across the entire map to the surface because they were taken in the dungeon.... I captured a red castle on day 131, killing an angel and acquiring 2 angels. I had 16 monarchs and 1 angel in my bag, so I ended up with 3 archangels. I upgraded them... and then I cornered my opponent where I finished him off.
Thank you for the game!

I found a full set with 3 drowns, then also Knight Shield + Amulet of the Dead and a lot of powerful items with stats. Zhenya, however, took a less reliable path by focusing on building a Grand Master, and after another unsuccessful attempt to rebuild the Town Portal, he gave up.
Thank you for the game!

Overall, a terrible map. Only one road led into the underground, and after 5 days of walking, I was blocked by 70 Evil Eyes. With one Hive in my area, I broke through this blockade and tried to find a way to the AI, but I ended up in a swamp with two one-way portals. So, I decided to go off-road into the desert, which also ended in a one-way portal. Charna found a way to the dungeon AI, but he built a castle, and there was no way to beat him like that. I went into the one-way portal in the desert with Clavius, found a minimum consignment, and a way to the tower AI, which was also extremely long. By the end of week 3, I finally had more than one town :smile40:. The dungeon AI left his town empty, and I took it, but I almost died there even with a castle and 40 mana. At the tower AI, I lost 1 Angel, 2 Knights, and 130 Skeletons. At least now I had 8900 income and artifact merchants to trade the useless scrolls/artifacts for resources. I started building up the tower Might and Magic and early in week 4, I met Wystan in an underground treasure. He was also weak like me; I could cast 1 Implosion, Slow, and some Magic Arrows; he cast 2 Chain Lightnings. He surrendered with some units and decided not to continue. Thank you for the game.
