Dear participants of this tournament!
I have a suggestion. :p
Naturally, our monsters who complete offline games in such astonishing timeframes deserve all sorts of praise and honors, and are undoubtedly benchmarks for the development of our skills in offline games. Well done!!! :smile54:
But I, for example, played an offline game for the first time, and being a fan of online games, naturally played this map like an online game. And the only thing that distinguished this walkthrough from a regular duel with a real "live" opponent for me was that I reloaded the game from the current turn about five times when I was completely wiped out :). Furthermore, I completed this game in one sitting within an hour, because I submitted my application 3 days before the tournament deadline. I am sure I am not the only one in this tournament who thinks about H4 from the perspective of real-time gaming, so I suggest all participants describe their strategy for completing this map, even if briefly. I am sure this will be very interesting and useful to everyone interested in improving their skills in this amazing game. Thank you all in advance. :smile50:

For those who are interested, here is a brief description of my walkthrough.
In the first week, I leveled up my fighter to GM; during the second week, I leveled up the priest and the runner. By the way, I wasn't able to level the runner above expert throughout the entire game. Instead, I got an additional Life mage. I took the second Castle at the end of the second week. In the third week, I acquired another druid and approached the red tent. Naturally, I didn't buy any monsters during all this time and used them only as resource gatherers. In the end, I only took the red tent at the beginning of the second month, leveling up heroes on the way to it.
In the seventh week, I broke through to the next tent, first wiping out 21, then 38 BDs. In the eighth week, I slaughter all the sea monsters in the lake for hero experience. Wearing the Armor of Regeneration, I take down 72 dragons across the crossing. By that point, I have 7 heroes in my army; the fighter is a Fire Guardian level 21. The most critical artifacts that allowed me to stand my ground in the battle with the dragons were the Sentry's Halberd and the Armor of Regeneration, and naturally the support of 6 heroes . Naturally, all the other heroes were killed, but they couldn't take down the fighter once. Approaching the Pathfinder and 302 dragons, I realized that without GM Life and the book, I wouldn't take them. So I took the fighter and Nevon, who was given at the start of the game, and ran to level up his missing 3 levels. First, I took 11 angels and 5 heroes to assist the fighter and wiped out the Pathfinder. The battle went like this:
On the very first turn, the "Pathfinder" casts Armageddon. As a result, immortality is removed from all my heroes except the Fighter. Nevon casts Sleigh. The Fighter, together with the angels, rushes toward the "Pathfinder." The Order mage with Dispel enters the battlefield to come into the "Pathfinder's" line of sight. To push through the dragons, one hero exits the sleigh. He dies immediately, of course. But now there is a hole in the wall. Mefala and the angels go into wait. The mage dispels the "Pathfinder," and the angels and fighter take him down. Everyone rejoices and, while celebrating, flees the battlefield lol.
Exactly 300 dragons remained to be wiped out. We gathered and attacked. Hit & run. The heroes attacked 7 times. All 7 times the battle followed the same scenario.
On the first turn, Mefala goes into wait. Nevon moves second and casts Global Happiness. Then the other heroes cast everything they have on Mefala (Giant Strength, Luck, Stone Skin, Heavenly Armor). The dragons remove immortality from those standing in front. Mefala, with the Sentry's Halberd, hits the nearest unit for two turns in a row. Nevon casts Sanctuary. Everyone skips a turn, and the fighter goes into wait. Everyone except Nevon exits the sleigh, and the dragons are distracted by them. The fighter hits two more times. He is taken down, and Nevon flees.
1st attack – 31 BD. 2nd attack – 43 BD. 3rd attack – 29 BD. 4th attack - 29 BD. 5th attack - 37 BD. 6th attack - 52 BD. 7th attack – 79 BD. That's how two weeks went. )))
411 - On Monday was the final 7th battle, and the fighter, with monuments, dives into the portal and captures the castle, which has no large army.
412 - Heroes approach the second castle.
413 – They capture the second city and run to find the opponent.
414 - I attack an army:
General 17
10 bone dragons
150 skeletons
4 poison creatures
1 ballista
After wiping it out,
415 – I attack another army:
10 bone dragons
23 tigers
13 cerberi
110 skeletons
36 ghosts
422 imps
15 poison creatures.
There is nothing long to describe. With the Armor of Regeneration, other heroes are not needed. They stay in the sleigh. Mefala wipes everyone out alone.
Save – Mefala is hit in melee by 15 creatures and the game ends.
Army at the end of the game:
Mefala Fire Guardian 26 lvl - fighter 5555 (chaos 4331)
Gatran – Paladin 15 lvl – life 2203 (combat 5010, nature 2100)
Nevon priest 13 lvl – life 5501 (tactics 1000)
Korita prophet 13 lvl – scouting 2300 (life 3223)
Izabo monk 10 lvl – order 3222 (life 2100)
Tonwen druid 10 lvl – nature 4430
Brook druid 9 lvl – nature 4330
That was the game.
I really look forward to your descriptions.
