Good day, Knights of the Tournament!

Message from Qwerty
I still can't understand the difference between "verified" and "unverified" maps.

These are the maps that are present in the maps folder when saving the game, that is, the standard maps for this version; in this case, these are maps from the SoD version... that's all, I called them "verified" because many people have already played them; they are the main ones... That's why I suggested making it possible to view them in the editor, as it turns out not everyone has played them and knows them...
But I agree with you, let's not reinvent the wheel at the end... So, the rules remain as they are... The saves will be submitted, and all tournament participants will be notified of this in private messages on our forum... I will create one save based on the standard map for the ("verified") version...

And here are the complete rules that have been put together Qwerty, thank you to all the Knights of the Tournament for participating in their creation; let's just summarize them:

In the absence of other opinions, I will begin preparing a new version of the Tournament Regulations and Save Walkthrough Rules.

Regulations of the First Tournament of Honor.
1. The tournament is held in three stages. The duration of each stage is 40 days. After this period, saves will not be accepted for consideration. There will be no exceptions!

2. Each stage involves three tasks-saves. Thus, the total number of tasks is nine, one for each race. The goal is to score the most points, while adhering to the SPIRIT, IDEOLOGY, and Save Walkthrough Rules.

3. The competition is held on maps of size M and L, with (M, L) and without (L) dungeons. Thus, there are 3 possible map sizes: M with a dungeon, L without a dungeon, L with a dungeon. Computer opponents play in an alliance, with their number ranging from 3 to 4, depending on the characteristics of the map. The final decision regarding the number of opponents, map sizes, and features of the terrain (in particular, water spaces, mountains, teleporters) is made by the Tournament Organizers.

4. At the end of each stage, the participant sends the winning saves and a screenshot of the "hall of fame". The winning save is made before the final battle. Winning saves should be named as follows: No. task, player nickname, number of points. For example: 1 vbs 500. The screenshot should be named with "scr" and then as in the save name. The map should be played under the nickname registered in the tournament. The address for winning saves: TKoH@bk.ru

5. The player has the right to send as many winning saves as he managed to. Thus, the number of saves sent can be from 1 to 3.

6. It is MANDATORY to save the message sent with the saves until the results are announced. This is necessary so that in case of email malfunctions, the player can prove that he sent the saves BEFORE the deadline.

7. Within a week after the end of each stage, the results are summed up for each save.

8. At the end of the third, final stage, the overall results are summed up. At the same time, the results of all the player's winning saves are taken into account. The results are summed up by adding up the points received for completing each save. The winner of the tournament receives the appropriate title.

9. In the event that two or more participants score the same number of points, the following additional indicators come into play:
1) number of days;
2) experience of the main hero;
3) the sum of the primary skills of the main hero, without taking into account artifacts;
4) the sum of the primary skills, taking into account artifacts.

10. In the event that in the overall standings one or more players score the same number of points, the following indicators come into force:
1) "reverse countdown" - the arithmetic mean between the system with the first and last places;
2) the sum of the number of days to complete all saves.

11. In case of doubts about the fairness of the walkthrough, the player MUST provide a detailed report. Arguments such as "morale for each squad every turn", "all players of all computer players took turns entering Utopia and died there," etc., will not be considered. If the player cannot provide a satisfactory report on the walkthrough, his save will be canceled. In the event that unfair walkthrough is proven, the player will be excluded from the tournament and will not be allowed to participate in Tournaments of Honor for a year. In the event of VERIFIABLY PROVEN use of cheat codes or other obviously unfair methods in the final walkthrough, the tournament organizers will submit a request to ADMIN to ban the player from the site.

12. The tournament organizers reserve the right to disqualify any of the participants. At the same time, they are not obliged to explain the reasons for such a step and prove the inconsistency of the walkthrough with the SPIRIT of the tournament.

Save Walkthrough Rules.
1. When completing a save, you should be guided by the SPIRIT and IDEOLOGY of the tournament, be honest.
2. It is strictly forbidden to hack the save, use third-party programs ("heroecopalka", etc.), and use cheat codes.
3. It is forbidden:
3.1. Unfair play;
3.2. Using the s/l method (in particular, "digging up a hero", calling a week/month of growth, etc.);
3.3. Using any cheat codes, regardless of the stage of the walkthrough, including "map reconnaissance";
3.4. Loading autosaves, in particular, "squeezing out" the result by constantly replaying each game process.
4. Allowed:
4.1. Replay the game twice from the VERY beginning in case of losing the map. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to use saves from the previous walkthrough when replaying the map;
4.2. Replay the map once from the beginning without explanation. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to use saves from the previous walkthrough when replaying the map.
5. The game is played as it is played with a live opponent, without constant saves and reloads.
6. I would like to emphasize once again: LOADING AUTOSAVE, SAVING THE GAME BEFORE THE BATTLE, LOADING ANY SAVE EXCEPT THE STARTING ONE IS NOT PERMISSIBLE!, as it contradicts the SPIRIT of the Tournament. It is only allowed to load a save from a suspended game in case of interruption of the walkthrough. Of course, it is impossible to check this point, but the presence of DESSA, CRAG HACK, TAZAR, SOLMYR, CYL, and constant weeks of growth among the heroes, as well as taking griffon conservatories without losses, may lead to exclusion from the tournament.
7. In case of violation of the Rules, the player is guaranteed exclusion from the tournament and other "joys of life".

May Honor and Dignity be with You! Glorious Victories!:)

P.S. And to close the topic about my participation, I will participate in the Tournament... let's see what comes of it....
