Walkthroughs for custom maps.

The first thing to understand is that there are no official competitions here, so everyone is free to play however they want, as long as it doesn't interfere with or harm anyone. And ultimately, whether a person considers the result worthy is what matters.

Of course, I understand that. I'll repeat, I'm only interested in the limit that a person can push themselves to. There's no judgment here, just curiosity.

In other words, if you use something "just a little bit," will the result still be absurd if you use the method fully?

It sounds like, "if you steal just a little, it's kind of okay."

Tell me, does your motivation help you a lot? How many maps have you completed in Heroes in the last 10 years?

My motivation? There simply isn't any.
Not many. I can't play maps for my own enjoyment. I wanted to finish Limes Inferrior in 5-6 months (more likely 6). There was so much beauty in the early stages, but after killing the orange hero in the second month, I lost interest in the map (I just can't grind and generate resources for 4 months without battles), even though the plan was fully developed. I also studied some well-known difficult maps to try to complete them with a good result, but I realize what a titanic effort it would take, and I can't force myself to play through it. One person from the CIS community motivated me to speedrun a map from the Heroes campaign, and that's it.

The second reason why I lack motivation to complete anything is because of "players who like to use all the possibilities of the game." Take Paragon, for example. Even if I complete it and get the maximum result that can be achieved under normal conditions, no one will be interested, and no one will appreciate it. If I complete a map in 100 days (hypothetically), people will just shake their heads and say, "What are you trying to tell us? Sanyassh completed Paragon in 7 days, go learn how to play." Therefore, to set a record that will be remembered, you also have to go all out. That's just life.

I really hope that competitive offline play will return to Heroes. I even have an idea how this can be done; I discussed it with Baratortch when we met, but there are still too many caveats...
