Unfortunately, due to forum overload issues, I couldn't post this earlier! :(
The maps that our portal proposed for the Championship have been changed!
The Around the World map has been removed. We felt that it did not meet the tournament requirements.
Instead, the Iron Man map has been chosen.
The Battle of Underground map also did not quite meet the requirements, so it has been significantly modified!
Many thanks to STRANNiK for editing the maps. :)
Thus, in the end, there will be 3 maps from HeroesWorld:
Showdown, Battle of Underground, and Iron Man.
I am providing all the changes that have been made!
STRANNiK, I hope you won't be offended if I post your quote ;)
1. Showdown.
Unnecessary skills (Charm, Summoning, Resurrection, Diplomacy, and Navigation), as well as Stealth, have been disabled.
Black dragons on the shore of the enemy's sea will give a weak hero the Expert Pathfinder skill.
The morale of all guard garrisons is 0.
In the ground, there are Rider's Gloves and Wanderer's Boots buried for both players.
2. Battle of Underground_WC08 (final ver.)
The original version has been significantly changed.
An unnecessary 2nd Castle has been removed.
Instead of the 2nd Castle, there are: a Tavern, a Level 4 Monster Lair, a Level 5 Shrine, 2 Shrines of other levels, as well as Shrines of Cancellation and Dispel.
The Lord in the Dungeon has a Grand Master of Nobility artifact, a Level 3 Spell Book, and other useful items.
One teacher and one tree have been added, and 2 unnecessary quests have been replaced with 8 chests of experience.
The War School has been replaced with 2 Altars of Battle and 2 Altars of Scouting.
One minor artifact has been replaced with a Level 2 Spell Book.
15 piles of gold have been added for each player to build Level 4 monsters in the city.
Level 2 neutrals have been moved away from the Vampire Bank and closer to the city to limit access to chests and resources.
A well has been placed in front of the guard of the Tavern and the Level 4 Monster Lair.
Some artifacts that the Lord possesses have been blocked to prevent their duplication.
Also blocked:
- All alignment shields (Shield of Chaos, Shield of Death, etc.)
- Angel's Blade
- Gloves and Boots
The guard has been significantly strengthened. Unnecessary skills and artifacts have been blocked.
3. Iron Man.
One change has been made to the original version. The Mirror of Pain has been disabled.
And finally: registration, as you all already know, is closed! Thank you very much to everyone who decided to participate in the Championship! :smile12:
Now all that remains is to study the maps, examine them (and examine them very carefully), practice, and ask any questions you have now, while the tournament has not yet begun! Read the rules carefully.
And my advice: play, play, and play Heroes IV, and specifically on Equilibris 3.51. Because playing on this version is still different from playing on War of the Whirlwind! I wish everyone enjoyment in preparing for the tournament and even more enjoyment in participating in it! :)
That's all for today... :)
Sincerely, Luchik!
