1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

That's why VDV_forever introduces these gimmicks with skills and mercury as rewards for those who couldn't complete the map fast enough...

I completely agree – to increase interest in the game and attract more participants, this is the only way to do it...

But then there's no need to hold a "Best of the Best" tournament once a year, because we're discussing that one right now... We summarize the results after the New Year, look at all the results, and it turns out that three "smart guys" spent a month and a half of their lives completing this not-so-easy speed tournament, optimized their strategies, replayed battles ten times, and finished with some result... But there's no one to compare it to...

Because the other 50 players turned out to be much smarter... :) They simply accumulated resources and troops for six months, and at the end of the game, they ran through the map in auto-battle mode, because they had enough troops to defeat any army without straining and competed with each other to see who collected the most of what during that time... And the leaders who shared the top three places can enjoy their speed prizes. That's where the disappointment will come... :) Three people played one tournament, and the rest played another, just on the same map... So, what's the point of having 55 participants? Are you sure they will compete with you?

This is a trial tournament, of course, but nevertheless... I am deliberately "exaggerating" just to avoid returning to these nuances later... All these ideas were introduced after the tournament had already started, so I'm just pointing out possible "inconsistencies" that will appear later...
