Are you satisfied now? :)
I believe I calculated the theoretical best possible time to complete this map. But I doubt anyone will even come close to beating my time, let alone the theoretical best.
I bet you were hoping for first place :D
By the way, what do you think the "maximum" time for this map is? ))
How much beer did you lose? :D
=) I was just trying to stir up some interest, especially after a disastrous start due to a buggy save file. I needed to get people excited about the game...
Initially, I wasn't aiming for first place, or even fifth. I just wanted to have fun and play through the map because I really enjoyed it. But then I had a pretty good run, and I started hoping for at least third place.
I had this idea to fight Deemer without using any mana... and the strategy and resource management were so well-planned, including adding Hydras and executing the battles beautifully. It showed that the optimal army for winning is built around day 2.3.1.
Why 2.3.1? Because before that, our "Hero Dad" wouldn't be able to collect all the attack bonuses in time, and even 1200 Archangels wouldn't be enough for the battle.
I thought that with my strategy, the theoretical best time could be 2.2.1, which would require some effort, but it's realistic.
And to achieve the absolute best time of 2.1.1, you'd need an extra +5 Archangel.
But look how it all turned out) The pros didn't even delve deep into the map; they figured out the perfect strategy just from watching it once, using air magic.)))
I'M HAPPY!
My friend was just playing for fun, and he didn't have much time to play. He finished in around 300 days. He was just joking around when he said he was better than me at Heroes 3, so we made a bet) He's a man of his word) and I got to enjoy some good draft beer)
