[HMM IV TOURNAMENT ON] New Year's Olympic-Heroic Games

What are the deadlines?

For now, at least until we have 8 participants:)

And also - maybe allow some leeway in the stages? Or some other gimmick, so that everything isn't too uniform.

I would like to focus on the participants' ability to play with what they have:)

another question about the best barbarians and the best archers? (will they be identical?)

Yes.

will it just be an exchange of blows? (what is the influence of morale?) (at least mages have a choice)

In the battle with barbarians, you need to approach the battle tactically. It won't just be a brawl.
And the same with archers, because you can't kill them with just a few shots.

P.S. I think we can combine barbarians and archers here. Or leave it as is. For the experiment, let's leave it.
P.P.S. Tonight I will upload the maps for the first round and the table of participants.
