"King of the Hill-2" Tournament

King of the Hill is an ongoing tournament based on the "play until you are defeated" principle, where only two players can participate at a time – the loser gives up their place to the next contender, and the winner continues playing until they lose themselves. In other words, players must try to defeat the current King of the Hill and end his winning streak; the player who defeats him takes his place. The winner of the previous tournament is HellLight.

Organizational matters:
1. Tournament organizers – Nitro, skd; judge – Dirty Player.
2. The tournament starts on April 1, 2016. The deadline is April 1, 2017.
3. The tournament will be held according to the Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments.
4. All games in the tournament are played within the HoMM3 HW Player Rating system.
5. Minor adjustments to the regulations may be made during the tournament.
6. If any controversial issues arise, please discuss them outside the forum. To resolve them, contact one of the organizers or the tournament judge via ICQ and provide daily save files, ICQ logs, and other necessary information.
7. Any unjustified delays in the game, squabbles, and disrespectful behavior towards opponents will be strictly punished, up to a permanent ban from the tournament.

Requirements for participants:
1. Experienced Heroesworld players are invited to participate in the tournament.
2. Players with a General rating of 1800+, as well as players included in the top-15 Tournament Ranking, have the right to register freely for the tournament (at any time from the start of registration until the start of the tournament).

Don Falcone politely stepped aside in the election race and allowed me to stay for a second term.
Thank you for the game!

It was a rather frustrating loss because I managed to recover decently from a poor start with a one-way gate in a sand adjacent zone. I built Town Portal on the first try, but I was really unlucky with air control. I built Dimension Door at the beginning of week 4, but against Vanya that's way too late — by then all his heroes with full control were zipping around like crazy. Thanks for the game!

Considering the setbacks, I ended up with -700, so I decided to play as safely as possible and chose Crag, who performed very well. In the second round, I took a couple of Hives, then Cons, and on turn 131 with 34 ducks and 10 angels, I took Utopia and built a GM4 near the computer, with a teleport there. After that, we ran around a bit more, reached stats of 20+, and rebuilt GM5 three times, but it only gave me Fly, and the roads were very bad. Vasya decided to just give up.
Thank you for the game!

Thanks for the game; the post-mortem showed that it was very uncertain, and the hope lies only with the GM.

Considering the royal discount, it came out to -6500 :eek:
By 113, I scraped together enough for 5 heroes, upgraded to 13 Grands, and with the external dwelling 50+ Centaurs. Close access to the adjacent zone 3k, grass all around. Nice :p
By 121, I reached the native Rampart, kicked him out of the Castle without serious issues, and upgraded more Grands there for buyout. Back home, rebuilding the Citadel with a thousand and the external dwelling)
But I have Ivor with Angel Wings and Boots of Speed
123 - Griffin Conservatory 2
125 - captured the green Rampart, there's Power of the Dragon Father and Municipal Building, also built a Municipal Building at home
By the end of the week, I gathered 12+4 ducks, home Castle (for the Capitol ;) )
At the green Rampart's uniques with external dwelling, took the turquoise Inferno's comrade :smile51: :smile51: :smile51:
131 finished building the comrade's Mage Guild - there's Resurrection and Fly, but Ivor only has basic Wisdom :confused:
By 133, I found a max Dragon Utopia, but taking it without Resurrection is out of the question, and that scoundrel Ivor refuses to level Wisdom :smile21:
By 135, finally leveled Wisdom to Advanced, got Town Portal on the 3rd try and later relearned Resurrection from Tan

Built the Capitol at home :smile14:
on 136
In the max Dragon Utopia, I got this:

In the Mage Guild, I got Dimension Door, but Ivor's Wisdom is Advanced(

After that was a week-long war of supports, eating up the treasure zone in moments of calm, running away from the opponent, leveling Gunnar from scratch in the reserves — it would take very long to describe it all, you can check it out on my YouTube channel

Misha played very beautifully until week 4, leveled up supports in Conflux, and it was very hard for me. I was only lucky that at some point he didn't finish me off, and I seized the moment to reduce the gap in army power and stats.
On 212, there was a Field Battle in the Swamp Castle, where I, having upgraded Monarchs, had no desire to give them to Misha and was forced to stay as Ivor and give him a fight!

The battle was quite ambiguous, but luck was on my side.
Thank you for the game!
