I don't know if I should post this here or not, but there's a small nuance regarding HoMM.
I'm not participating in the tournament myself, but I'm rooting for everyone (please share replays of the finals and interesting battles :)), and I've noticed an interesting nuance after playing a few games: monsters and artifacts are created rigidly during map creation, not during game creation. This means you can open a map on another computer, for example, I have two: a home computer and a work laptop, enter well-known cheats, and see everything that's on the map: monster units, artifacts, the location of zones, etc. So, you play on one computer and view the map on another.
I don't think it's possible to detect this, and it's also unclear whether it's a cheat or not.
The only way to prevent this is to generate artifacts and monsters randomly at the start of the game. The zones and the location of objects will remain, but at least that's half the battle.
I ask the tournament creators to pay attention to this.
