Amber!
Organize a mini-tournament for 2-3 weeks (before the start of November). You did a great job with the blitz tournament. You can have an assistant. Let it be unofficial. And the map can be a standard one. It doesn't matter.
There's still so much time before the start of November!!!!
I don't want to have to get back into it again – it's hard to get back into the swing of things (even though I have a lot of household chores, but I can still find some time). I think many will be "for" it.
If not, then I'll have to play unofficial games with the Heroes IV players. Although I'm "not very good" at it. Except maybe I can listen to some beautiful music at the same time. It's quite captivating!

I keep forgetting to ask – why didn't you replace the vampires with mercury creatures in the Stronghold? What if that parameter would have decided everything? Would you have regretted it? Although, as one of my friends says, sometimes things just happen...:)
