I'm in!
Add me to the list, and I'll get started on preparing...
I'm very glad that you are participating in our tournament!
P.S. But what is a "kosa"?
Suggestions regarding the matter:
1. Considering the complete lack of difference between difficulty levels 4 and 5 in the game (don't tell me that a small pile of resources fundamentally changes anything on the L-map, because the computer plays absolutely the same way on the last three levels - and the only difference is in the starting amount of resources...), I suggest combining them into one category and calling it the Highest League, and all saves will be generated at difficulty level 5. That is, there will simply be no level 4.
1. Yes, you are right to some extent that a small pile of resources won't play a significant role;), but 10,000 gold is quite likely! I don't need to explain to you that 10,000 gold is 4 heroes! And a small amount of resources is usually very necessary for one or another building in the early days;).
2. By analogy, levels 2 and 3 are quite close. They can also be combined (brought to the third difficulty - "ladya") and called the First League. (The names are, of course, conditional - we are only talking about the idea itself, the details can be discussed later).
Absolutely not! This is approximately the same as the letter A being next to the letter B! Agree, they are very close in the alphabet, but absolutely different in sound and even meaning;!
3. We will not consider the easiest level (difficulty 1) at all - third-level heroes have been on the scene for seven years, and it is doubtful that anyone is afraid to play on "ladya" these days...
Whether they are afraid or not, they play! Believe me! And not for money, not for fame, but just for fun! Moreover, they play deliberately! And there were such people, and I even hope they will play at this level in 50 years;). Otherwise, why is this difficulty level needed at all?
4. It is not allowed to participate in different categories - this is a flawed practice. The winner in the Highest League can easily make a copy of their walkthrough and send it to the First... There should be only one application, and everyone can independently assess their qualifications. I am sure that most will play in the Highest League - simply because the tournament will be between players, not between a player and a computer. And in this case, what difference does it make which save to start with if everyone is initially on equal terms?
Thank you, I will think about it. There is still time;).
P.S. Perhaps the esteemed Prorock will be able to sort out this issue!
The main goal is to reduce the number of categories, because it will be funny to see a winner in a category with only one participant. And that's what will happen... :) And it is very doubtful that such a certificate the winner will hang on the wall :).
I don't mind! As long as the participants are happy! If there were 10 difficulty levels, I would reward 10 people!
I will change the certificate to a more heroic one soon;).
The value of victory must be tangible. And for the future rating, it is still better to have a minimum number of categories, otherwise the rating will not be objective...
For some, it will be very tangible! And for professionals, I think so too;). And we will deal with the rating;).
5. Honestly, dividing into categories based on the starting save level is not entirely correct... This changes little for the game. A more preferable option is to divide into a General League (playing for points) and a Blitz League (playing for days), while the save is the same for everyone. And let it be on "ladya", it is completely irrelevant. Here, each participant will decide what is easier for him - to run around the map, defeat the opponent, and finish the game as quickly as possible (Blitz) or visit all the obelisks, dig up the Grail, capture the maximum number of cities - all this to get as many points as possible (General League)...
IMHO, as always.
We don't want to do the same thing as on other internet resources!
You will see what this changes during the tournament;).
In the opinion of the administration of our site, such a game should significantly increase the level of players in general! Not everyone can play at the most difficult level. But they want to play! So we provide them with this opportunity!
From easy to difficult is progress;
from difficult to easy is... (guess for yourself)
P.S. Thank you very much for your suggestions, they will definitely be considered!
With great respect, VDV_forever
