me, as the First Spare, think that we cannot beat the russian teams with a spy infiltrated in our ranks ... see above post !
i know the saying fight fire with fire, but fighting russians with russians won't do, we need an international team against Mother Russia

Ok, Vesuvius.
I rely on your professionalism and objectivity.
Waiting for adjustable on-line round rules.
Please read all posts, I told you that the maps were not fit for competitive online play, some are old, some not fit for 3.3 mod.
I was waiting for feedback !

Maps
If you want to make "Tournament of the Century" and make it so you an only play with 3.3 mod you have to change the maps you have, i only took a look at circle of life, it's the old version.
So if you need maps we should take our "lead" mapmaker and modify them for tournament play and 3.3 mod(e.g. paladin on circle has basic order, now he needs advanced to cast dispel) and many changes like this.
just some thoughts, we can help, we're a helping community
if you need more detailed explanations please ask.

Feedback to valkyrica.
Who is your "lead" mapmaker? i don't know.
May be you can organize preparation of map list for on-line round? and we consider it.
As I see, you agreed with tree maps in list:
Heart of Winter
Plains of Despair
Circle of Life
We offer some more maps:
Magic Forest, ShowDown, Death Valley, Chameleon, Battle of UnderGround, Superheroes, Deathvalley.
What maps need to include in map list?
About version of HoMM4.
What version you prefer? WoW or 3.3? If one player prefer 3.3 but other prefer WoW - what version will be the main?
Many our player prefer WoW, what about ToH'ers?

we can help , yes.
there was not about the maps, but the way they must be analyzed in order to work as they were designed to. could be any map, you are the leader of this tournament, you may propose the maps, we can take a look and adjust them , adding the neccesary modifications to work for mod 3.3.
In my opinion ,WOW WITH MOD 3.3 is the best option, sometimes is very important to take advantage of the new creatures, it will add a diversity which always is welcome in a game.
what's too standard can turn into a boring thing.
i have some particular versions of all the maps above , tuned during a large number of games for optimal balance.
punctually,
magic forest and chameleon are 90% based on the luck of alignment got, so it wouldnt be too relevant.
superheroes ... is a algorithm that takes away the idea of heroes might and magic
showdown and death valley could be very interesting with some major modifications.
circle , plains and heart work fine with some adjustments , too . actually, from your list of maps, circle is the best choice, the most balanced
have a nice day
P.S. valkyrica would say the same things maybe more, but concerning jinxer , of ourse

Wow a " Circle for Life TOurnament"
Sounds like a tourny MotorSchaaf in H3 wanted to do called Map Masters. IN that tourny it had nothing to do with over all ability and talent in the game of heroes, it ONLY had to do with peoples ability to master, memorize, manipulate, and exploit a map. Once you were able to find all the little hidden bugs and shortcuts, then you excelled on the map.
So sounds like this is basically a Heroes 4 Map Masters tourny of the centry.
But what does Jinxer know. If it was me, I woulda employed a couple talented map makers like Blue Camel who can produce quality maps in a week, to make about 6 new never before seen maps and then done a tourny. The best players would beable to adapt and play the blind maps. As it is you are doing the " Check mate in 2 moves tourny"
Have fun lol
Merry Christmas!

Serious Jinxer,the reason it is called map MASTERS is so all players can play & see whos the master of the map.
It also had random templates also so your definition of Motors map masters is false in a small way.

Balcough has the BEST post here! This is the ultimate question. The very first posts made pointed out that 3 of the maps -- circle - Heart - Plains were the 3 worst maps in the list then later on Hoher says " So you all said those 3 were the best etc" lol looks like someone wasnt paying attention or else just wants to make sure those 3 maps are in tourny.
I rarely agree with Balcough, but have to agree here.

teach - on any map where there are Hero guards (like Heart of winter, or plains), you MUST make those guards a player. Otherwise the army may flee, and if they flee, then no matter what scripts you have on that army, the player will get the artys they had. It is impossible to make it scripted so that the artys will not be given to the player even if the army flees, if the army is neutral. If the army is a player tho, they cannot flee of course, so this is not a problem. However once you make the army a player, you must either put them in a garrison and say that troops cannot be removed, or you must place them on the map so that they cannot move, but the squares diagonal from them are passable, so that they cannot move (although actually they could move, if the computer knew the army screen trick ) but they can be attacked by the player. in both cases, of course you need to put "take all the artys they got" under the "defeated" tab, and with the 2nd case, you must use bombs on the few impassable squares around the army, so that players may pass through.
