New Intertournament Competition
Hoher, from Heroesleague, is setting up an intertournament competition 'Tournament of the Century', where players of homm4 ToH compete against players of other tournaments, ArchangelCastle, Behemoth's Lair Empire, HeroesLeague, HeroesPortal, and Heroic Corner.
There is a list of rules below that he wanted me to review, but I thought it best that you guys look at it too. So we will be looking to create a team of players to represent ToH.
1. These rules are recommended. If both players agree to change one or several rules - they are free to do it. If they can not reach the
agreement, these rules apply.
>
2. The tour is being held using HoMM-IV: Equilibris v.3.3 English
> version. (http://www.zone.ee/homm4/eng) (or Winds of War as a second option)
>
> 3. Every team consists of 3 players. (The list of players must be
> submitted to the **Council by the Team-captains before the tour starts.)
> Every player will fight one of the players from opposing teams on-line.
So,
> if there will be 3 teams - each player will play 2 games.
>
> 4. Every game has a limit of 2 weeks. The deadline is set, after
which
> the game is considered ot held, and no points are adjudged.
>
> 5. Recommended game difficulty - Advanced (3-rd), time limit - 4
> minutes, stationary guards. Both players can agree on any other settings.
>
> 6. Rules limitations:
>
> 6.1. (applies if Winds of War is chosen) the hero is not
allowed
> to develop Grandmaster Necromancy. If hero breaks this rule, he (she) must
> be killed in 3 turns and never brought back to life. Raising Vampires
using
> the Grandmaster Necromancy skill is punished by loss of the game.
>
> 6.2. Using any bugs of the game, even not intentionally, is
> prohibited. If you are unsure if some specific action uses some bug, you
> should ask the **Council. Using game bugs is punished by loss of the
> tournament.
>
> 7. Player, who lost all his towns and armies, lose the game. If
player
> lost all his towns and did not reclaim any in 7 days, he (she) lose the
> game.
>
> 8. Map choice. The following maps will be used for the on-line tour:
> (preliminarily)
>
> Heart of Winter
>
> Plains of Despair
>
> Shallow by the Game
>
> If These Walls Could Talk
>
> Circle of Life
>
> Boring's Mountain
>
> 9. The map is chosen by subsequent removal of maps from the list by
> players - one after another. The player, which chooses the map (removes
> second last map, so there is only one left), has the right to choose
> starting alignment.
>
> 10. Alignment choice. Prior to choosing alignment, each player can ban
one
> of the alignments, if he (she) wishes to do so. After than neither player
> nor his opponent can choose this alignment. After this optional alignment
> ban the player who choose the map must to choose his alignment first. He
> (she) also chooses the starting position. His (her) opponent gets the
right
> to make the first move (will be the host) and to choose his (her)
alignment
> the latter. He (she) can choose the same alignment, as the opponent has.
>
> 11. Every game has it's time limit - the 2-nd month, 3-rd week, 7-th day.
> If the game is not finished by this time - by the end of this day the
player
> must leave only 1 army - the rest of the armies must be in towns, mines,
> garrisons, etc. This save must be sent to the **Council before the
deadline.
> **The Council will create the save of arena with 2 armies - exact copies
of
> players' armies. Players fight this final battle and the winner wins the
> game.
>
> 12. Long battles with neutrals are prohibited. If there are ore than 10
> minutes delays, the player can complain to the council.
>
> 12.1. Examples of long battles: 1 sprite fights 100 zombies, or
level
> 2 Necromancer with Poison and Fatigue fights 20 Behemoths. These battles
can
> be won easily, but they are too much time consuming.
>
> ATTN: the rule does not apply to the battles between players.
>
> 13. In battles between players there can be stalemate situation.
Example -
> one player has 10 imps, the other has 100 Ogre-Mages. Imps can fly over
the
> battlefield and Ogre-Mages have no chance to catch them up. In such
> situations the attacker must flee or surrender. If Shackles of War
artefact
> is present - the battle must be finished in autocombat mode.
>
> 14. If the connection is broken for some reason (unstable connection,
> hangup of the game) - game must be restarted from autosave and player must
> make the same moves and actions he (she) did before hangup, even in
battles,
> if possible.
>
> 15. **The Council has the right to change the rules at any time. In this
> case players must be informed before the game has started. During the game
> rules can not be altered.

i see a few things that are a little silly, imo -
#1 you can pick alignment .. good players should be able to win with any alignment.
#2 you're only banning GM necromancy? Master Necromancy is still VERY powerful.. you should really ban ANY necromancy skill, not just GM. taking 200+ ghosts to final battle is BIG advantage for death.. not like death doesnt already have enough advantages anyway.
#3 the map list might be expanded... the map list right now is a bit questionable  after all, i thought this was a "world" tour, not a russian tour (circle, plains, heart are HALF of the maps? lol)

Hoher if you seriously are accepting suggestions, you gotta get a better maps list. Circle -- Heart -- Plains gotta go! Add ANY other 3 maps to the list. Or if nothing else add about 10 more maps to choose from. With your lets each eliminate one process you are always gonna be stuck with one of the 3 maps I listed. Seems kinda rigged to me. I think Camel said it best, sounds like a russian tourny not a World tourny.

Guys be constructive. Suggest modifications, not bash sessions. Or otherwise I will help modify the rules, and participate as the captain of the ToH team (what a disaster that would be hahahaaa)

so, Jinxer's cup is totally out of the question, that could lower the interest .
A decent turn , where to say you made some significant moves, lasts over 20 min., it's not a rule, but could occur pretty often making the other player, weaker regarding the patience point of view , to cry rivers and rivers of tears and become very annoying.
maybe if you can recalibrate the time limit, the Council work will be easier
only a thought.
have a nice day
