I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong thread, but I want to raise the issue of changes to the rules for all five versions of the offline tournaments. Of course, one could try to create five threads with a poll for each version... but I'm not a moderator... and I won't be able to move the first post to each new page, etc. Perhaps my suggestion will interest the tournament organizers, who also happen to be moderators of these threads.
The point is that in most cases, if two players complete a map in the same number of days, then - in case of a tie in days, the deciding criterion is the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) taking into account the equipped artifacts. If this does not determine the winner, then the amount of some resource (usually mercury or sulfur) is considered.
There have already been discussions about canceling the third criterion, and the issue is controversial, with no overwhelming consensus.
So, I propose making the second criterion - EXPERIENCE.
If two players complete the map in the same number of days, then - the hero's level may be the same for both players, and the sum of the four skills may also be the same... but the experience will definitely be different (even if the difference is only 1 experience point - it's already an indicator). In the end, it is preferable when a player has gained a lot of experience.
Of course, there is a possibility that two players will reach the maximum possible level (for example, level 40 in Might and Magic V) by using skill-boosting trees, but this is rare, and the organizer should ideally eliminate this possibility (the possibility of reaching the maximum level).
It is quite possible that the third criterion will not be needed to determine the winner in a pair, but if it is needed, then it should be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) taking into account the equipped artifacts... and there will be no need to accumulate resources.
This is the question I would like to put to a vote in each of the five threads on the offline tournaments.
