I would also like to remind you that this tournament is CLOSED. And you can only participate in it by invitation from the organizers. And the rules were discussed by the participants.
Ah, so that's what the closed nature is all about. It turns out I was politely turned down. Well, well.
That's why the organizers don't respond to emails, don't send saves to those who want them, etc.
Well, now I understand everything about you.
Sorry, I was a little late to the discussion, I'm trying to fix the situation now...

natasha, if you implement everything you suggest, how will our tournament differ from others? What will remain of "Knights of Honor"? Only the name... Initially, the rules were conceived in just a few points. Besides, the rules were not taken out of thin air; they were discussed by the participants and adopted. P.S. I am all for getting closer to Online, but a time limit is not an option!
Well, I followed them. I didn't create saves to be loaded, but out of habit and to show what was wrong with the save. Everything was played in one go, and I can repeat any action 10 out of 10 times with the same winning result!
The discussion about the maps went on for so long, but I didn't quite understand. However, why take a "proven" map if someone could have played on it?
There was already a suggestion to generate a random map instead of taking a standard one. The time limit was proposed so that people wouldn't sit over the map with a calculator, observing the rule against loading saves! This really brings it closer to online, especially with the optional ban on cheat codes. There's no map, and you can't scout the save!
Isn't this the main idea behind the tournament?
As for TE, install it and see how it works, then we'll have something to talk about. The point is to generate saves that can be played on all versions of the game, as if it were SoD!
The rest of my suggestions are nuances and some specific examples.
Please consider my save as non-competitive. I will no longer participate in the "Knights of Honor" tournament...
