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.

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;

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.

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.

EPILOGUE

Overall, a terrible map. Only one road leading to 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 through 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 & 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.
tnx for game.

I made my way through the rough terrain to the second location in the center. There, I was planning to take the Utopia with Claudius, but suddenly Kirr showed up and started attacking me, focusing solely on the ducks. He attacked, and I had no money left.
Thank you for the game!

Poor map, 4 heroes and a town hall on day 1, still, the best I could do was level 1-2-3-5 without a citadel. I would have taken 111 because I saw an opportunity with Gunnar, but Kyrre got Tactics and Earth in the first 2 level-ups, and I saw +4 to all stats with Easy Guard on grass. Some tough fights early in week 2, managed to take a Hive (60 flies) with decent losses, and 2 more (60+90). Picked up boots in a dirt treasure, +4 to all stats mid-week 2, and refilled mana in town. I finally started exploring my roads and took every Hive in reach, no relics/topes though. Eliminated the Tower AI (131) and started building a Mage Guild. I had 60 Wyverns and a good Kyrre. With air superiority, I thought I could catch Gunnar because I saw him with weaker stats, and I succeeded.
Thank you for the game!

An epic match with two or three restarts after each encounter. In the end, in the last round, Luna and Moner appeared, and there was another bugged path to the computer. Zone 1 was completely flooded. :D
The opponent managed to necromance over 150 skeletons with several Necromancers, but I managed to summon birds and deal 121 damage in the castle with a lot of mana and superior stats.
TFP!

Spent 400 gold and got a classic SM-ka.
It rolled out really well. Crag Hack arrived right away, and under the Castle there was an external dwelling of Beholders and Dragons. A couple of small Dwarf Cottages. Only one road, but there was plenty to do. On day 117 took the external dwelling of Dragons, but portal-summoned the Beholders. On day 2 went into the third level to Barbarian Earth and hung out there for over a week. Found a Necromancer level 20 with Earth, Armor, Logistics, Wisdom, and Water. At the end of the third level grabbed a mini Dragon Utopia with КЗ. Then went to the opponent through a secondary hero, grabbed a Dragon Utopia +4 +5 all and a level 5 hat :eek: and on day 137 took the main. Then ran around for a few more days and eventually got trapped in one of the secondary towns. Had more army and stats.
TFP!
