"only XL-4"



Past Tournament Winners:

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).

Stage 2: Olympic System

Playoff seeding will take place on June 1, 2017.

Two players advance from each group; the 1st and 2nd places are randomly assigned to the bracket.
Olympic system bo1 (2 weeks), starting with 1/4 bo3 (deadline 1 month)

III. Organizational Issues

1. Tournament start March 1, 2017; registration for the tournament is open until February 26 inclusive, up to 24:00 Moscow time (February 27-28 - final determination of the tournament regulations, drawing of groups) 16 groups of 7 people = 112 people
2. The tournament is official.
3. The tournament is held according to Rules for organizing, conducting, and participating in online HOMM3 tournaments
4. Tournament host - Scorpiona (ICQ 469326983); organizational issues - rebellious (ICQ 345870761).
5. Tournament judge – Dirty_Player (ICQ 408722873)
6. Organizers reserve the right to refuse participation in the tournament to a user without publicly explaining the reasons.
7. The winner of the tournament will receive a medal under their avatar and a ticket to the FB tournament:

I started playing because of the good mages, and on the second day, Galtran arrived as well. On the first map, I killed two AI players and built birds without any stress. After that, I calmly explored the map in several directions, luckily there were many roads. Due to a lack of sulfur, I couldn't start building up the guild for a long time. I took two boxes for control without wisdom, which would have been fatal without rebuilding, of course. On the fourth week, I took two Dragon Utopia with slag and built/rebuilt control in the Tower village. The day after building DD, I hit the enemy's cash-cow on horses using shackles. If I hadn't managed it in time, it would have been tough going logic vs logistician; moreover, Kirry was taking good Dragon Utopia in the following moves, while I had absolutely nothing for stats. Thanks for the game.

I started playing because of the good mages, and on the second day Galtran arrived. On the first [week], I killed two computers and built birds without any stress. Then I calmly explored the map in several directions, luckily there were many roads. Due to a lack of sulfur, I couldn't start building the guild for a long time. I took two boxes for control without wisdom, which would have been fatal without rebuilding, of course. On the fourth week, I took two Dragon Utopia with slag and built/rebuilt control in the Tower village. The day after building DD, I covered the enemy's cash-cow on the horses with shackles. If I hadn't made it in time, it would have been tough without logistics against a logistician; moreover, Kirry was taking good Dragon Utopia in subsequent moves, while I had absolutely nothing for stats. Thanks for the game.

Kirya was running 4k moves, there were a decent number of angels, ducks and demons; on the next move I ran toward a cluster of Dragon Utopia, and since I had to go through the swamp - I distributed the army to the horses, who demoned the remaining meat along the way, and then... GG happens, thanks for the game!

I took the main castle, and my opponent surrendered. It's tough to compete against Mullich with perfect upgrades and a cloak that gives +2 speed.

Thanks for the game!
I initially started complaining about the map generator... But after looking at the overall layout for both sides, I realized I messed everything up myself. The generator gave me everything I needed for an early victory and I started doing the right things, preparing for a rush in the beginning of the second week. Against a mage with a level 2 bolt and a lot of mana, with approximately equal power, my opponent couldn't do anything. But, something shifted the focus towards "waiting for 4 Growth Monsters" and I lost precious 2-3 days. On the 4th Growth Monster, I got complete garbage, my opponent took the center and built up a decent stack of skeletons. Then everything went wrong. Thanks for the game!
P.S. We played 8MM6a.

It was a very long and intense game. I don't remember the beginning very well, as we played with 4 saves over a long period of time. But overall, in the first 3 weeks, I had no momentum. Only on turn 144 did I manage to get into the first Utopia 3, with an army of 7 angels, a lot of meat, and Nimues with combat stats of 13-12 without earth. The Utopia was a good one - +6+4 all and KV. The opponent already had 9 birds, 30+ ducks, 3 angels, and full control at this time. Before the end of the 4th week, I get 3 more Utopias - I find a KZ, +5+3 all, wings, and build archons. Nimues has stats of 30+, as well as two boosters for air and earth, but in the army, there are only 10 archons, while the opponent has 40+ monarchs, 17 birds, and 7 angels. I find Kirr, level 10, in the dungeon, pump her air, and make plans to find troops, but then the opponent gets stuck in the treasure room while rushing. I put on shackles and kill the army and the main hero. GG. Thank you for the game. P.S. The opponent's main hero was Moner.

It was a very long and intense game. I don't remember the beginning very well, as we played with 4 saves over a long period of time.
But in general, for the first 3 weeks, I completely lacked momentum.

Only on turn 144 did I manage to get into the first 3rd-tier utopia, with an army of 7 angels, a lot of meat, and Nimues with combat stats of 13-12 without earth.
The utopia was a royal one - +6+4 all and KV.

At this time, the opponent already had 9 birds, 30+ ducks, 3 angels, and full control.

By the end of the 4th week, I get 3 more utopias - I find a Key Zone, +5+3 all, wings, and build archons.

Nimues has stats of 30+, also has two boosters for air and earth, but in the army only 10 archons, while the opponent has 40+ monarchs, 17 birds, 7 angels.

I find Kirr, level 10, in the dungeon, I pump her air skills and make plans to find troops, but then the opponent makes a mistake in the treasure hunt while rushing.
I put on shackles and kill the army and the main hero. GG

Thanks for the game

P.S. The opponent's main hero is Moner.

Rolled back 6900 for elves and (unexpectedly) 500 for red. Thought the opponent would bargain for the color.
But the opponent decided to take a risk and go for the usual one-way exit for blue. With that rollback, I naturally ended up in a complete financial mess. Couldn't really re-roll properly, since I had to take the 2nd and 3rd restarts on blocks. The opponent re-rolled two excellent surrenders. And I had to play respawn without money or secret stashes; half the respawn was walled off by mountains. Plus, a block of cyclops neatly blocked the road on the adjacent zone right before the underground passage to the nearest computer opponent. Thank goodness it didn't block the entire adjacent zone.
On week 1, my only achievement was three crypts taken. Couldn't even set up horses (Jem 9/10). The elves and three trees carried.
Basically, Tank saved the game, moving slowly as a tank should, building a stack. Kyrre ran around linking the chain. At the start of week 2, skeletons immediately took down the nearest Hive, I finally got around the cyclops, and only toward the end of week 2 took the nearest towns two or three times in a row. And only on week 3 did things take off. All Dragon Fly Hives, Griffin Conservatories, and boxes in the visible zone, and Kyrre leveled up too, becoming like a main hero. And right before the opponent's arrival, a couple of utopias, the second one being max. The dragons in the max utopia, by the way, easily beat me in the mêlée. First, they crashed straight into 7 angels. Second, on the last turn, there were 1 green and 3 reds left. I thought I'd cast animate from wait and finish them off with angels, but the reds killed the green with their breath, and died from the retaliation. Minus 120 skeletons out of 450, and minus 3 angels out of 7 right before the finale. :D
And still, Kyrre on full mana meets the opponent, noticeably surpassing him in both army and stats, plus three spell books (except water) and shackles. And the implosion immediately removes the opponent's angel stack, and from there the GG immediately arrives.

Thanks for the game.

Rolled back 6900 for elves and (suddenly) 500 for red. I thought the opponent would bargain for the color.
But the opponent decided to risk it and run through the now-familiar exit from the one-way path for blue. Meanwhile, with such a rollback, I naturally ended up in a complete financial hole. I couldn't respawn properly since the 2nd and 3rd restarts had to be taken by blocks. The opponent rolled two gorgeous spawns. And I had to play the respawn without money or caches; half of the respawn was blocked off by mountains. Plus, there was a block of gr. cyclops neatly positioned at the exit to the adjacent area and toward the nearest computer.
On the 1st week, my only achievement was taking three crypts. I couldn't even place horses (jam 9/10). The elves and three trees carried me.
Essentially, the game was saved by Tank, who moved slowly just like a Tank, building up a stack. Kirry ran around, linking the chain. At the start of the 2nd, the skeletons immediately handled the nearest hive; I finally bypassed the cyclops and only toward the end of the second did I take the nearest cities one-two-three in a row. And only on the 3rd did things really take off. All clues, cons, and boxes were within sight, and Kirry had leveled up and also started to look like a main hero. Then, right before the opponent arrived, a couple of Dragon Utopia, with the second one being max. By the way, the dragons in the max utopia out-mikred me easily. First, they immediately crashed into 7 angels. Second, on the last turn—1 green and 3 reds remained. I thought I'd cast animate from wait and finish them with angels, but the reds killed the green one with burn and died in response. Minus 120 bones out of 450, and minus 3 angels out of 7 right before the finale. :D
And still, Kirry with full mana meets the opponent, significantly surpassing them in both army and stats, plus three books (except water) and handcuffs. And with implode, she immediately removes the opponent's angel stack, and from there comes an immediate гг.

Thanks for the game.

Everything is correct, the exit to the one-way path was via a single road; in the end, I realized the respawn and reached the computer via off-road very late, and although I slightly cut down the opponent's power, against Kirry who caught everything needed in the Dragon Utopia, he could do nothing.

I request that an ODD (One-on-One Duel) be scheduled against players **alkaposha** and **Blitz**, due to the lack of specific agreements regarding gameplay over an extended period.
I am available to play almost every day during the week from 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM, and on weekends, we can play earlier.
