The second time, when I played again, I also finished it in a weekend, but the result was 8 months. So, if you only play on weekends, you can already achieve a good result.
I just don't want to drag out the contest; I'm eager to get started!)
Anyway, I'm saying it again, if you like it, and if enough participants gather, I'll take it into account for next time and make the deadline longer.
It's a shame that not many people play Heroes 3 anymore; usually, it's just on a whim, and someone might not even see the topic. But at least 2 people will be playing :) and that's already interesting!
By the way, I created a topic on HP: http://www.heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=369473
