Posts from DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

the changes have been needed for a long time; when creating the rules based on mirrored templates, I take into account the rules that are available in the HotA section.

What happened to the leaderboard? Why have some games disappeared?

- the h3dm1 template is played on medium difficulty, 160% difficulty, no water, strong monsters, redraw is allowed, and it is allowed to pass by the shifted guards between zones.

No matter what, I don't understand why it should be possible to pass between the shifted guards. What's the point of having guards then? The very presence of guards implies that to get to another zone, you need to defeat the guard. To get something, you need to do something for it, and that's perfectly logical.
The argument "it's all the same anyway" is irrelevant to the question "why are guards needed?"
P.S.: on XL+U and other templates with computer opponents, the situation is different because the computer cannot be explained that it is not allowed to pass and it will just run around.

What happened to the ranking table? Why have some games disappeared?

HW glitch, reports disappear and reappear, I think everyone has noticed it already. We're waiting for a fix.

No matter what, I can't understand why it should be possible to pass between the guards that are pushed together. What's the point of having guards then? The very presence of guards implies that to get to another zone, you need to defeat the guards. To get something, you need to do something for it, and that's perfectly logical.
The argument "it's all the same anyway" has nothing to do with the question "why are the guards needed?"

+1 Moreover, different people will defeat these guards with different losses.

Are there any formally documented default rules for Overtime Draws ("ODD") that are generally accepted within the Community?
If a tournament judge states that an ODD is scheduled for a specific time and provides no further information, and the tournament rules contain nothing about ODDs, what does this specifically mean?
I've participated in several tournaments, and based on my experience, it seems that judges find it more of a hassle than not to properly schedule ODDs (so that it's clear from when to when we play and when we finish playing). It appears they don't want to burden the players. The start time for the ODD is agreed upon, and that's all.

However, I have encountered additional interpretations of "start time":
1) You can be 1 hour late for the ODD.
2) The minimum playtime extension is 3 hours (meaning either opponent can simply save the game if they have other plans later and will be justified in doing so).
Furthermore, I have a feeling that I once read something somewhere about ODD rules, but now I absolutely cannot find it.

I couldn't find it.

I strongly suggest adding a rule requiring players to save before each battle. I hope it's clear to everyone involved in the Tournament Committee that this is necessary for resolving disputes (there were recently disagreements on this topic regarding one of the matches).

What’s up with the player rating, guys?

What's up with the rating, guys?

They say Nitro is missing; the hosting was on his server.

For those who were worried, I'm happy to announce that the rating system is working again! Thanks to Nitro for fixing it! :smile02:

Thank you very much!

From today, the online player rating system within the Heroes World website has been launched. Those who haven't seen it yet, here's the link: http://www.heroesworld.ru/rating/ Check it out and let us know about any shortcomings or suggestions.

I was going to suggest not mixing content from Heroes of Might and Magic III with content from Heroes of Might and Magic, but I realized that's an unrealistic expectation. Is a separate table for the seasonal content planned?

Is it possible to add a quick player search function to the ranking?

What's wrong with F3?

Thank you very much to Kosta and the Creator for providing such a clear rating! My only suggestion is to add statistics and win rates for each player and castle in the future.

At first glance, Maretti is clearly in the lead with a win rate of 85.6%, which is pretty much what I always expected. In addition, there are many other worthy players with a win rate of 70+% and a sufficient number of games played (300+).

It feels a bit unusual that there is no dynamic change in the rating for individual games (the columns p1 Overall rating, p2 Overall rating, p1 Season rating, p2 Season rating were present in the previous version).
