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;

Immediately around the corner I saw boots behind the marks, I took them almost without losses thanks to Brixa. Then in a tomb I found a КВ :eek: only her BT version, that is, the book of water :confused: , which I never needed during the entire game!!!
Having broken into the underground adjacent zone, I discovered a block of champions guarding a resource and a Dragon Fly Hive. Therefore, I had to clear the respawn until the end of the week.
For the future, I gathered a decent amount of resources, took a couple of Dwarf Cottages and on day 122 with Brixa and Mass Haste broke through the champions, and then nearby 2 Dragon Fly Hives with crap heroes 6+4.
I have Air Scouting and I start each day by observing in the vacuum near the enemy flags and neutrals how the opponent moves and planning my own picture of the world) The only road I ran for 4 days was to the corner Barbarian village, collecting resources along the way and continuously building the Mage Guild
On day 125 I finished building Mage Guild 5 - there was Air, on level 4 nothing
On day 126 I beat Brixa into the main, built a Bibilotheca and was pleased with a DD :smile13:
I took a level 2 Griffin Conservatory and jumped on day 127 towards one of the villages
On day 131 I captured it, got Earth for Brixa, and back home I rebuilt Town Portal
On day 132 I rebuilt Mage Guild 4 and got Resurrect, with the help of which I took the Dragon Utopia. Gave me




The next 3 days, based on scouting, I tried to reach the orange Tavern, which the opponent captured on day 122 and was most likely building a Mage Guild there. Pyrrha helped with this, who by that time already had Expert Wisdom and Expert Earth
Gathered some ducks along the way up to 34, stats were around 20. Captured the tavern, there was a Mage Guild without a Bibilotheca with a DD. His stats were 2.5 times lower at the Crag.
Concession follows.
Thank you for the game!

Right around the corner I saw boots for the next tier of creatures, I took them almost without losses thanks to Brissa. Then in a tomb I found a КВ :eek: but its water magic version, i.e., the book of water :confused:, which I never used once during the game!!!
Breaking into the underground adjacent zone, I discovered a block of champions guarding a resource and a Dragon Fly Hive. So I had to clear the respawn by the end of the week.
For the future, I gathered a decent amount of resources, took a couple of Dwarf Cottages, and on day 1 week 2 month 2 Brissa with Mass Haste broke through the champions, and then nearby 2 Dragon Fly Hives with 6+4 weaklings.
I have air scouting, and I start every day by observing in the vacuum near the enemy flags and neutrals how my opponent moves and projecting my map of the world) The only road I ran along for 4 days was to the corner barbarian village, along the way I collected resources and built the Mage Guild without interruptions
On day 1 week 2 month 5 I built an Mage Guild level 5 - there was air magic, level 4 gave nothing
On day 1 week 2 month 6 I defeated Brissa at my main, built a Library and was pleased with a Dragon's Discharge :smile13:
I took a level 2 Griffin Conservatory and jumped on day 1 week 2 month 7 towards one of the villages
On day 1 week 3 month 1 I took it, gave Brissa earth magic, and at home I rebuilt Town Portal
On day 1 week 3 month 2 I rebuilt the Mage Guild level 4 and got Resurrection, with which I took a Dragon Utopia. It gave




For the next 3 days, by scouting, I tried to reach the orange tavern, which the opponent captured on day 1 week 2 month 2 and with a high probability was building an Mage Guild there. Pirr helped with this, who by then already had Expert Wisdom and Expert Earth
I gathered some ducks along the way to 34, stats were nearly 20. I captured the tavern, it had an Mage Guild without a Library with a Dragon's Discharge. Stats at the creature generator were 2.5 times lower.
A surrender follows.

After all restarts used I got pretty good map, though the roads were long and uncomfortable, but starting arti was +5%necro with galthran and nagash papashkas. So kyrre remained a scout. At end of week 1 I scouted unicorn dwelling just in time, so managed to capture it, also found trade post and boots of speed.There was a throng cons on snow, I took it 123 and it was maxi, but no problem with ~260 skeletons and 9 war unicorns.Nagash got logistics so I sent him to go along the road,and covered another tower AI and fortress town but road ended there, so I didnt have much choice but search for treasure and build tower MG.Some cyclop stockpiles helped me a great deal, I already had TP on 126 but galthran didnt have wisdom, and nagash didnt have earth (3x water offered).In the treasure I found 2 topes and took them without much losses, however all useful I got was +4+4 armor and the gold. Mid week 3 I got DD on 4th build, however galthran still had adv wisdom and nagash was with basic earth. With levelup tree managed to solve this problem, but had to skip logistics on galthran to get exp wisdom. :( I sacrificed some artifacts to have aine with exp earth & air, and with 3 fast heroes I managed to take opponent's castle with AA upgrade. I was lucky to find unprotected dessa in that town, so opponent lost important hero and now I surely had the upper hand. A couple days later I got dessa in my tavern and opponent gave up.
Thanks for playing!

After all the restarts, I got a pretty good map, although the roads were long and inconvenient, but the starting artifacts were +5% Necromancy with Galthran and Nagash's artifacts. So, Kyrre remained a scout. At the end of week 1, I scouted a unicorn dwelling just in time and managed to capture it. I also found a trade post and boots of speed. There was a strong contingent of monsters on the snow, I took it in turns 1, 2, and 3, and it was a maxi stack, but there were no problems with ~260 skeletons and 9 war unicorns. Nagash got Logistics, so I sent him to go along the road and covered another tower AI and fortress town, but the road ended there, so I didn't have much choice but to search for treasure and build a Tower of Magic. Some cyclops stockpiles helped me a great deal. I already had a Town Portal on day 126, but Galthran didn't have Wisdom, and Nagash didn't have Earth (3x Water offered). In the treasure, I found 2 topazes and took them without much loss, however, all I got was +4+4 armor and some gold. Mid-week 3, I got a Dungeon on the 4th build, however, Galthran still had advanced Wisdom, and Nagash was with basic Earth. With the level-up tree, I managed to solve this problem, but I had to skip Logistics on Galthran to get experience in Wisdom. :( I sacrificed some artifacts to have Aine with experience in Earth & Air, and with 3 fast heroes, I managed to take the opponent's castle with an Archangel upgrade. I was lucky to find an unprotected Dessa in that town, so the opponent lost an important hero, and now I surely had the upper hand. A couple of days later, I got Dessa in my tavern, and the opponent gave up.
Thanks for playing!
Despite a less favorable situation, a series of mistakes allowed me to lose a winning game, the epitome of which was an incorrect jump before the siege of a castle with a Grand Guardian and a powerful opponent, as a result of which I didn't reach one tile.
Thank you for the game!

In nearby inf AI's zone found boots, so that compensated for missing logistics.Entered treasure 125, scouted a tope there and took it 127, got +6all and wings. Meanwhile built up inf guild, on 3rd build it gave me TP and on 2nd build DD too. Opponent didnt have such good map and gave up. Thanks for playing!

I spotted the Necro Cape on day 1 and, with Moandor, managed to gather some skeletons, and from day 124, I started demon farming. In a nearby Inferno AI zone, I found boots, which compensated for the lack of logistics. I entered treasure 125, scouted a tope there, and took it on day 127, getting +6 to all stats and wings. Meanwhile, I built up the Inferno guild; on the 3rd build, it gave me Town Portal, and on the 2nd build, it gave me Double Damage too. My opponent didn't have such a good map and gave up.

I bought Ivory and Mullich at the start, but I didn't find any money or happiness.

Everything was fine in this game except for the control; there was nowhere to build.
I was lucky that I dug up a level 5 hat from the second Dragon Utopia, otherwise everything would have been very bad. For a long time, tactical battles for territory capture took place because I didn't have TP, and they had full control there. In the end, I wiped out all their power in front of the Castle on a fluke.
TFP!

I took several restarts and got good heroes.
Gunnar, Grinya, Jeddit, and I decided that such a lineup would suit me. Gunnar immediately cleared 2 max Crypts, and Grinya leveled Earth to Advanced in a pillar. In the next zone, I immediately got a small blockade in the form of Vampires for +3 Morale/Luck. I didn't break into the Sands yet because of the shooter guards. In the end, I leveled Grinya where I could, and he immediately got Expert Earth :smile03:
I brought a cart and easily micromanaged 40+ Vampires. I broke through immediately via another road where the blockade was more serious — 50+ Beholders. Behind the Vampires, the passage turned out to be bugged again into the Sands, and there Minotaurs guarding a level 5 Hat + Dragon Fly Hive.
In the Underground, I found a Pandora's Box with 50+ Dragon Flies. I sent Grinya home to replenish mana. On day 117, I managed to build Mages. On the first day of buying, I easily break the Dragon Flies and get 15 Lich in the Pandora's Box :cool:. The next day, 105 Minotaurs give me the Hat. Then I rushed to gather Dragon Fly Hives — by the end of day 124, I had 38 already. Grinya got Air, Intelligence, and Scholar to pick up Resurrection. Then the timer ran out, and problems started because contact happened. I ran into some corner where I found nothing and only wasted time, while my opponent was already showing a larger army. But he didn't go to take my main, the Keymaster's Tent, and the Hives with Archangels, which I had, thus giving me time to take my Dragon Utopia (Gladius + 4 All), level Air, and take the situation into my own hands. By the middle of week 3, I was already in control of the situation and took another mini Dragon Utopia for the Teapot. Next, I took the main.
On day 142, I was about to finish taking the Keymaster's Tent with Archangels to finally secure my advantage, but Dave surrendered due to lack of control and prospects. :smile03:
TFP!

Thanks to Dark for the tournament he ran. Hopefully, next time the deadlines will be stricter ;)
