I. Rules and Templates.

1. Game version. The tournament will be held on the SoD 3.2(4.0) + HD mod version 4.1 (or the latest available version) + HW_rulez 1.38 game versions (if a new, relevant patch is released, this rule must be amended).
2. XL templates: 8mm6a,8хм12а, 6LM10a, 8xm8a, Spider. Template selection follows standard practice; the red player starts with the black template set.
3. Castle selection: random pair + trade
The host generates a pair of random castles using a special button. Immediately after generation, each player can request a regeneration once for 500 coins to be deducted from their opponent's account. If at least one castle repeats during regeneration, that same player may (but is not obligated to) request a free regeneration until a new pair of castles appears.
4. After trading castles, players trade colors.
5. Total number of restarts (113), i.e., 111+111+111, 111+112, 113
6. Time limit per turn with chess timer - 21:00+08:00+01:15
7. Roads are medium and fast
8. The option to rebuild the Guild of Mages is enabled.
9. Library in "Tower" is allowed.
10. Deadline for completing a game is 2 weeks (clarification for those who need it: you must adhere to a playing schedule of 1 game every 2 weeks; if you start a game with an opponent, the deadline for this game is 2 weeks; if your opponent ignores or refuses to finish the game within the specified time without valid reasons, you have the right to request an ODD be assigned; in case of non-appearance by the opponent, they will receive a technical defeat).

II. Regulations

Stage 1: Group Stage

The top 2 players from each group advance, having scored the most points.
In case of equal points, places are determined according to additional criteria (in order of priority):
1. Berger coefficient.
2. Head-to-head result.
3. If it is impossible to determine the playoff qualifiers based on previous indicators, the players will be offered a scheme of transitional games. At present, it is impossible to foresee all possible combinations of results. Therefore, the final scheme will be developed based on the situation that develops in the groups at the end of the stage.

Victory - 3 points; defeat - 0; draw - 1 point (counted at the 211+ stage after consideration by the organizers)

Group stage ends on May 30, 2017. (no saves or replays will be accepted; results will be posted based on submitted tournament reports).

Won on restarts: the opponent fought the computer, while I had a good one (3 Griffin Conservatories, 2 Hives, a Cyclops dwelling), only the road was a bit crooked, because on 115 I hit the guard of the treasure zone. Result 117 – Behemoths in the Castle, around 115 I think I gathered the Conservatories for 4 Angels and a minimal Hive and went to the Blue player, who was in a bad spot.
Thanks for the game.

The last restart I spent on the block of Energy Elementals guarding the box. And it dealt a dull layout. The Miner got one stack of Troglodytes, the respawn wasn't particularly rich. Went to the computer (also a dungeon), had to break through an upgraded Archers. No money, fought the computer the entire first week, lost the Miner, by 117 was left with 7 Evil Eyes and no money, though I built Minotaurs at the computer's Citadel, grabbed the wood in the center. Barely started to recover in the 2nd week – Graveyards, Dwarf Cottage, recapturing resources, fell heavily behind in tempo, but by the end of the week the Red player arrived with decent stats, 3 Bears, 4 Angels, and I had to surrender.
Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game.

Unplayable due to the poor map layout. It's time to fix the map generation:smile15:, because sometimes it's simply impossible to play: with one road leading to a village on rocks and then an off-road path to a swamp and snow. The "road" to the central zones is also a spiral off-road path, and then... a one-way street! :smile18: The GM started building only from turn 141 because there was simply nowhere else to build.
I played until turn 211, took a Utopia with a Teapot, and didn't even bother with the second one (the autopsy revealed a cruel trolling by the generator in the form of a Knowledge skill and a speed amulet). The opponent had roads to all adjacent zones.
Thank you to the opponent for the game and the time.

The opponent spent all their rests and played the change with a home Dragon Utopia. On day 121, they started casting non-crit in 3 directions and building a tower. From 127-132, they took 2 trash Dragon Utopias and raised stats slightly. They gathered 5 cyclops stacks, which allowed them to rebuild Town Portal and Dimension Door. On the 4th week, they formed an alliance and upgraded angels in the opponent's castle (which I successfully messed up by forgetting to leave some meat there). I saw them heading toward my super-treasure, which I hadn't visited) so I covered Gunnar and Mephala, receiving -4 archangels from Mepha and a buyout. I spent a couple of days finishing the army and getting a +2 speed cloak. By 211, I had 11 groups of dragons, 20 necro-horses, 2.2k skeletons, and 60+ ducks; I attacked the opponent - they only had 14 archangels there.
Thanks for the game

The opp spent all rests and played out the change with the home Dragon Utopia. On 121, he started not-criting in 3 directions and building a tower. 127-132, he took 2 slag Dragon Utopias and raised stats slightly. He collected 5 cyclop-spots, which allowed him to rebuild Town Portal and Dimension Door. In the 4th week, he formed an alliance and upgraded angels in the opponent's Castle (which I successfully screwed up by forgetting to leave meat there). I saw him heading toward my super-treasure, which I hadn't visited) so I covered Gunnar and Mephala, took -4 archs from Mepha and a buyout. Spent a couple of days finishing the army and a cloak +2 speed. On 211, it turned out to be 11 gr dragons, 20 necro-horses, 2.2k skeletons, 60+ ducks; attacked the opponent - there were only 14 archs.
Thanks for the game

Something weird is happening when I play as Dungeon. In my opinion, it's the faction most dependent on the layout. I managed to get going eventually, but I'm too lazy to build a tower, and that's what let me down. Without Dimension Door, there was simply nowhere to go, so in the end, I wanted to slip through unnoticed :smile04: right under the opp's nose into the super-treasure; there were no alternatives to go anywhere else. It didn't work out, I bought my way out while cutting his archs, holed up in the Castle with magic and shackles, provoking an attack, but a KS was found there. thx for the game

I cleared out everything I could. As a result, no army, no resources. The wood mine is in the middle of nowhere, lots of blockers and ranged guards. But there are two external dwellings of gnolls and an external dwelling of cows, which carried the game. On day 115 I almost got wiped in that external dwelling (attacked the cows with 35 gnolls, 10 lizardmen, a serpent fly, two wasps, and a ballista), barely scraped by on the gnolls. By the end of the week I got some momentum going and placed 1-6 in the citadel, and had just enough for some buying. On day 121 I took level 1 Griffin Conservatory, a couple of turns later I captured the enemy ally's town, and his main hero with all his might killed himself against me in the citadel. On day 126 the opponent came to the center, where he falls just short of my central wood dwelling. I moved my main there. The stat and army advantage combined with two lucky strikes decided the fight.
Thanks for the game!

Hey everyone, is it possible to recover the password for a save file?

There should be a file called passwords.txt in the folder with the save files – look for it there.

We started playing without restarts. As a result, both of us in the adjacent zone had to move through wasteland. Due to the lack of Earth magic and an unexpectedly long road to a village in one of the treasure zones, I only took the first Dragon Utopia on day 134. Gradually, a few more Dragon Utopias were found. We rolled a decent amount of stats. Town Portal appeared in a scroll on day 136; by day 142 I had re-specced Fly and Dimension Door. Having several leveled-up heroes with Air magic, I started capturing cities from my opponent. In the process, I lost a good scout hero, but I couldn't cut down any of his heroes myself due to lacking Tactics or Shackles of War. Overall, though, the takeover was going well. On day 145, on the last move of the week, I reached Vidomina with my entire main army. There was a big army advantage there: the numbers of dragons and angels were comparable, while he had 2k skeletons against my 60 grand elves. But my stats were lower by about 20. The battle took place under my opponent's red sphere, without any particular outs for him. Toward the end, Leadership also came into play — my dragons and grand elves became Morale-locked. As it turned out after the game, my opponent quickly got full control in the Dragon Utopias, but nothing decent for stats ever dropped for him until the end of the game. Thanks for the game!

There was a big army advantage there: numbers of dragons and angels were comparable, while he had 2k skeletons against my 60 grand elites. But my stats were lower by ~20. The battle took place under the opponent's red orb, with no particular outs for him. Toward the end, Leadership also played a role — my dragons and grand elites became paralyzed. As it turned out after the game, the opponent got full control in Dragon Utopias early on, but nothing decent for stats dropped until the end of the game. Thanks for the game!

He could have tempoed without much risk for himself, there were a lot of skeletons. Then the Dragon Utopias with full control would have been taken earlier, and since no others were found afterward, that might have saved him.
Thanks for the game!

The draw was good: Galtran and Clavius, both with Loga, gloves and necro fur coat in caravans, roads are excellent, native 3k comp - Citadel. Early encounter on 116 on fast roads on the territory of my native comp - the opponent decided not to continue. Thanks for the game!

Hey everyone, is it possible to recover the password for a save file?

If there was a way to recover the password for a save file using some kind of procedure, what would be the point of having passwords in the first place?

I understand that neither the save files nor the text files with passwords remain. Then there are three options:
1. Technical loss (Such cases have happened, hello Diabler).
2. Remember the password.
3. Write a letter to Baratortch and send him the save file. He might agree to help.

P.S.: And for the future, if you have memory problems, I advise you to choose short, simple passwords, like 123 or 777, so that if you can't remember, you can at least try to guess it.
