a free for all game on something like realm of chaos would be cool. except realm of chaos, there isnt a conflux on that.

make sure it is version 1.5, so we dont get things like the gremlin rush. although this is less of an issue on big maps

OK guys. organisation for the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Tourney is now underway. The first round will be played on the 25th of February. Sign ups are open now. Just comment on here if you want to participate. The tournament will not go ahead unless 4 or more players sign up. There will be a prize for the winner, although i havent decided what it will be yet (probably not gems as im not rich ><). The tournament will be played in rounds, with games being played as 1v1, random map, size medium. You can request a remake before the end of the 3rd day, once per round. If odd numbers of players are participating, one player will have a bye each round, and everyone will play every player once. The player with the most wins at the end will be declared the winner. Picking civs, heroes and starting bonus is allowed. Rounds will be played at any time organised by the challening oppenents within a period of 1 week. If the other person has not responded or cannot play in that duration his match will be forfeit and result in a loss.
If you have any suggestions on tournament rule changes or suggestions for improvement I would be glad to hear them.
Thanks guys hopefully we get enough players to run this =D

Important!!: The actual game will be Heroes Of Might and Magic 3: Complete (which is both the expansions). If you do not have this it is fairly easy to get from torrents.

well i'm keen, of course.

just a couple of other rules (mainly just the one)

no grail. the grail is an unfair advantage, and spawns randomly.
i dont think the map should be random, as random maps can be very unfair. medium is a good size though

as for the prize, you could make a mad sig plate or something

hm i think random map is best and definitely the best. the remake by the end of the 3rd turn should nullify any bad maps. If you get two i guess its just badluck =p agreed with the no grail rule. maybe i should play WCL rules, with no dimension door, fly or grail.

no ddoor or fly might result in some mage guilds being completely useless, and a waste of 10 of each resource
