"Knights of Honor"

Project: Regulations for the First Tournament of Honor. 1. The tournament will be held in three stages. The duration of each stage is 30 (or 45) days. After this period, save files will no longer be accepted for review. There will be no exceptions! 2. Each stage includes three assignments/save files. Thus, the total number of assignments is nine, one for each race. The goal is to score the most points, while adhering to the SPIRIT, IDEOLOGY, and Rules for completing the save file. 3. At the end of each stage, the participant sends in the winning save files and a screenshot of the "Hall of Fame." The winning save file should be created before the final battle. Winning save files should be named as follows: Assignment number, player nickname, number of points. For example: 1 vbs 500. The screenshot should be named with "scr" followed by the same naming convention as the save file. 4. A player may submit as many winning save files as they have completed. Thus, the number of submitted save files can range from 1 to 3. 5. It is MANDATORY to save the message sent with the save files until the results are announced. This is necessary so that, in case of email malfunctions, the player can prove that they sent the save files BEFORE the deadline. 6. Within a week after the end of each stage, the results for each save file will be announced. 7. At the end of the third and final stage, the overall results will be announced. The results of all the player's winning save files will be taken into account. The results will be calculated by summing the scores based on the "reverse ranking" system (i.e., the winner receives the maximum number of points, and the last place receives 1 point). Alternatively, the results can be calculated by summing the points earned for completing each save file. The winner of the tournament will receive the corresponding title. 8. If two or more participants score the same number of points, the following additional criteria will be used: 1) Number of days; 2) Main hero's experience; 3) Sum of the main hero's primary skills, excluding artifacts; 4) Sum of the main hero's primary skills, including artifacts. A replay will only be conducted if there are identical scores among the contenders for first place in the overall standings (9 save files). 9. In case of doubts about the fairness of the playthrough, the player MUST provide a detailed report. Arguments such as "morale was increased for each unit every turn," "all AI players took turns entering Utopia and dying there," etc., will not be considered. If the player cannot provide a satisfactory report on the playthrough, their save file will be invalidated. If unfairness is proven, the player will be disqualified from the tournament and will not be allowed to participate in Tournaments of Honor for one year. In the event of VERIFIABLY PROVEN use of cheat codes or other obviously unfair methods in the final playthrough, the tournament organizers will submit a request to the ADMIN to ban the player from the site. This needs to be discussed, and decisions need to be made regarding the points where there are options.
