A little bit of background.
This map is one of the most popular and well-known in Heroes of Might and Magic II, and has been used repeatedly in Competitive tournaments, both offline and online (greetings to Maximix).
This map is also one of the favorites of the well-known GreatGenius. Once, he told me something along these lines: you start playing on Beltway against a not-so-experienced player, and they are amazed when the game ends in a week or two!
Online, many players use portals on this map, but with this save and the goals of the tournament, there was obviously no need for that.
Now, a little about the quorum.
Maximix, Zingel, and Lord-Aries were absent for objective reasons. Horn didn't find the time, desire, or opportunity. Richard I, vbs, and some other players did not participate for various reasons.
Unfortunately, due to objective reasons (vacation, problems with access to the gaming computer), some players could not fully demonstrate their skills (VDV_forever, Kyle).
The map itself is, in a way, a gateway to the higher league of players. It's great that we have gathered and nurtured such a wonderful group of young (and not-so-young:)) talented players!
The save was designed in such a way that the tournament became a multi-event competition: for speed, for stats, and for "mining" - resource gathering. Well, that's not bad!
Now, about my result and the process. We recently talked with AmberSoler about the competitive aspect of the competitions. We talked about chess (I stopped playing actively in 1998, having only participated in one tournament in 2002), and I honestly said that I no longer have the competitive spirit and drive. That's how it turned out with this tournament - seeing a beautiful idea, I forgot about the result, deciding to showcase that idea. I hope not everyone will judge me for that...
In the near future, I want to try to take more steps to popularize Heroes of Might and Magic II, in particular, I want to finish the literary editing of the translation of one of the works of a little-known player from 1998, and maybe I will write something myself.
In conclusion, I want to say that the team from our forum is now a truly significant force, especially compared to other communities.
I hope for your understanding,
