The 8th stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Tournament (2007).

Fireball and BigAxe, please send your daily save files to [email protected] for a more thorough review.

I've already sent them.

Oh, Fireball, you really surprised me...
It turns out, there's still so much to learn!

I'll be reading your description with great interest...

I haven't even started writing that description yet. To be honest, the results surprised me as much as everyone else. In the tactics described here, I didn't find anything in common with my playthrough, except for the obvious fact of using diplomacy. After all, I planned for 7-8 days, depending on the companions' behavior, after about an hour of scouting. Apparently, as in the 3rd stage, people showed excessive respect for the dragons, especially the rusty ones; the first group of which was killed in about 30 minutes of map generation, and the second one immediately.
