Quote: Maybe building the city halls was not appropriate for this template since the players meet very early, no?
I wonder what happened after the last savegame? Did Satki reach Sir Mullich next turn or did you just see his army and gave up?
Players meet on panic middle week 3 begining week 4
Tower is expensive and i was out of money, as u can see managed to buy some army, and build city halls.
After last save: i bought 18 mages some gorgoles and attacked shakti, interesting battle, but expert tacktics and haste on minotaurs made things very complicated. Maybe could do smthg if get morale 1 round, but, 23 mino kings + 200+ trogs not so easy.
Have 2 screenshots so will paste them

Bayazet joined list of players that will seek you wednesday after 16.00 by London time.
But I think it would be better if you will play with Stinger first. Cause he is the one from our team, who didn't play yet in this tournament.
Im affraid I can only play wedensday if someone has free from work and can start the game early. Otherwise it will have to wait till the weekend.

Will there be other games than just Tower vs Dungeon vs Inferno? (1 fortress 1 saw as of yet).
Necro and Flux banned.
Castle, Stronghold, Rampart obviously "ruled out" by players.
I doubt it. Seems these 3 towns will be the only one played unless someone repeats Devs mistake of allowing his opponent fortress and Taz (sorry Dev).

It's not our players fault that on YOUR rules and templates there is so great difference between different start towns.

Sorry if my post sounded like this, but it was NOT meant to be an attack towards your players or your system.
Of course I know Castle town has much better chances to win the game than Inferno or Tower has on Jebus template. I am not aware of Panic template, and rarely played Balance, but I thought Castle on Balance isn't the best choice, while Rampart and Stronghold is.
Maybe if u will start such a tourney again, each player can say 3 different towns which he wants to start with, and opponent chose ONE out of these 3 for him?...and vice versa of course...
Going "all random" (random town, random starting hero) isn't very common at Gamespy nowadays (at least my experience), so most players are not used to play with Tower or Inferno.
That should NOT be an excuse for the loss of 3 out of 4 games for the WCL players, I am pretty sure heoes.by players play(ed) well.
But maybe the Gamespy guys will stop playing Jebus / Castle all the time now...

lol i'm fed up of Castle wars good player must be able to play any town...and any template. One of the reasons of Castle wars i see in Tribe town restrictions, going to revise Tribe concept in next season.

Angelito, i was almost 100% sure, that we will play dungeon/fortress/tower.
And WCL loss doesn't mean we dn't know how to play these towns

Quote: Still waiting for the other 2 games that were played, especially the game that Maretti won!Very interrested in it!
Here you are:
Maretti - DC_Vasya game saves
Nice game, inferno rocks! . Dungeon had a lv7 external dwelling that gave him a possibility of accumulating dragons. Maybe DC_Vasya took too much risks in taking an utopia early and I don't see well where he lost the remaining troops. Attacking the ghost dragons maybe since there were lots and then a only a pack (next week lots again). Maretti's army was simply too strong then. Maretti had expert air (view air) so it was hard to hide . Hope to see more inferno games . Thanks for sharing the saves, it's a great help to the Homm community but also to the players since they can study their future opponent's play too .
edit : One thing I don't understand is the first day build of Dungeon player. Since there is a dragon dwelling just near starting town, why not capture it first day and build portal of summonning immediately, giving 2 red dragons on first day. This could make all fights easier and speed too of course. Something wrong with that reasonning? It's possible to capture and still have 60 or 70 trogs left. Lack of money is compensated by the possibility to take the crypts first day and the imp cache, free the prisonner and take dwarven treasury.

Maretti, do you still have the map generated (or your first autosave) so I can try playing the Dungeon side from first day? Thanks in advance, if you don't have no problem, good luck for next games

Two days and we will continue our games.
For now most wanted by our fans is game between Maretti and Stinger.
Stinger started playing heroes just three years ago. He began playing in chaos league (200% difficulty, XL+U random templates). He played for money with best Moscow players and took part in club tournaments (from 32 to 64 players) where he usually was in top-3.
When chaos league had begone, Stinger start playing in our Heroes Online Training Center. Where he showed wonderful gameplaying: was on first place in season and win two open cups. Last year he won Minsk club open cup and TE open tournament (each had only 8 places for best players, who want to prove their skill by betting their money). After that he turned his attention to fixed maps and did well. During last championship organized by HeroesLeague, Stinger was second among more than 40 players.
He is 27 years old. He is smart, lucky and has very aggressive game style. His slogan is "Harder, faster - Stinger!".
He said that he would easily give Maretti castle and will take non-castle town in exchange of possibility to select color.
P.S. I just can't wait till saturday to see this game .

Hard question. Stinger is most tituled, AlexTheGreat - ambitious, Paladin - most stable , Bayazet - calm and concentrated, and DC_Vasya is very good at early meetings where both players have little armies.
I can associate them with towns
AlexTheGreat - Stronghold
Bayazet - Tower
DC_Vasya - Dungeon
Paladin - Castle
Stinger - Rampart
How do you think - what town is best?

Why not? If you have money and find another one who will take your bet - than you can bet. As I said we don't bet on games via internet.
