1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

I didn't notice this quest for "Roar of the Titan" in the map editor, nor did I realize that the gargoyles near the armor could join. Now everything is clear. Thank you for posting the walkthrough.

I saw this, but I had difficulties planning the battles. For myself, I took from the description that the main thing is to find a hero with the Resurrection spell on the first week.

I still don't understand, will the winners' saves be posted???? or are they hiding them!!!!???? if I had won, I would have posted them on the first day!!!!! what's the catch???? I'm STARTING TO DOUBT THE HONESTY OF THE WALKTHROUGH!!!!!

Well, old man Mozay, as always, is in his element :) It would be better to be more constructive and at least determine which saves would be interesting to look at. In his description, the leader gives us room for our imagination regarding the battles, but what to do if we lack imagination, and most importantly, knowledge. Therefore, on the very first day, we can come up with saves that will be useless to others. I will try now to determine approximately which saves would be interesting for me to see. And you either support it or determine your own sets. It is clear that the leader simply cannot post all the saves. So let's first scratch our heads and figure out which ones are interesting to us. Well, in the worst case, the leader can simply describe some of the battles in more detail, for which there will be no saves. Saves BEFORE the battles of interest are good because you can try to conduct the battle with the ammunition and troops that the leader had when conducting these battles.

Zheddit is very powerful for a quick start, so with his blindness (we take the magical gesture in the shrine) and restoration, we eliminate the wizards. This allowed me to clear the passage guard on day 28-14-0
on day 12. By this time, Dessa had the following secondary skills:

Great. I didn't think to get a hero with restoration. Thank you, Kule, for the Hero Finder. I should learn to use it for the next tournament.
Save 1 - before the battle with the Wizards.

So, with Dessa, we learn navigation and free the rider's gloves. We defeat the phoenixes and get into the boat (by this time, Dessa should have learned to find the path). This happened on day 15, and the army consisted of 3 ghost dragons, 7 death knights, 14 vampires, 26 orcs, and 72 goblins.

I think this is one of the key points in any walkthrough.
Save 2 - before the battle with the Phoenixes at the portal.

Now and further, I will not focus on the battles themselves, leaving you room for activity. I will only help by informing you about the army before and after the battle. So, before the battle with the garrison – 6 ancient behemoths, 14 cyclops kings, 3 roc birds, 27 orcish warlords, and I won the battle without losses.

You understand that no one will be able to create a save before your specific battle independently, so that there are corresponding troops, hero stats, amount of mana, etc. We are counting on your help in the form of saves before battles. And I am interested in a save before this battle.
Save 3.

On day 23, I cleared the surprise from VDV_forever (attacked only with gargoyles), and there were 1187 of them left.

This save is unlikely to be needed. I don't need it anyway, everything is clear.

Then everything is very simple. With Dessa, we kill the naga queens (63-90-0) and get the boots of speed. We run as fast as we can to the Castle Auar, not forgetting to kill the pegasuses (93-77-1) and the cyclops kings (74-99-1), getting the Titan's Gladius and the Celestial Helm.

I wouldn't say so :) With the Naga Queens, with the Pegasuses, it's clear. I also took the sword without losses from the pegasuses, but I used berserk - it helped a lot. In general, I passed without a combined artifact. That is, I took only the sword and shield from this artifact. Since there were problems with the cyclops, I decided not to fight them, and therefore I did not go to the fourth component for the wizards.
And I didn't figure out what to do with the ifrits, so I went forward without the "Roar of the Titan" and 100 Archangels :)
Save 4 - before the battle for the artifact, the Helm with the Cyclops.

Day 29 is coming. Therefore, on the dark, dark night from the 28th to the 29th day, we "brew" in the Castle Auar at the artifact merchants the necklace of sea passage and get Dessa the admiral's hat.

Cool! AmberSoler was right on the money again :)

We kill the ifrits (4-86-1) and exchange the "Roar of the Titan" for 100 archangels in the seer's hut (if you want, you can do this with hypnosis - scientist (78-76-0)). Before the battle – 6 archangels, 17 ancient behemoths, 37 cyclops kings, 887 gargoyles. I lost only one gargoyle, and I have 334 of them left. This was on day 31.

Yes, the battle is obvious. I also didn't realize about the gargoyles. Vampires surrendered to me on a neutral island somewhere around 1200, and liches 708, but that was only in the third month.
But nevertheless, this is one of the interesting battles.
Save 5 - before the battle with the Ifrits.

With Dessa, replenishing mana, giving the sea captain's hat to Celt with the help of a chain of heroes, and taking 97 archangels, 17 behemoths, 37 cyclops, 10 monarch wyverns, 14 phoenixes, and 409 liches, we run to Magnus and defeat him, taking the dragon scale shield (day 36). After the battle, I have 97 archangels, 17 behemoths, 37 cyclops, and 239 liches left. The main thing is to break "with someone else's hands" (read, with phoenixes) your own catapult and prop up the door to the castle (from the outside) with your own unit (phoenix). This is a pure victory.

Interesting battle! Especially the trick with breaking the catapult - is that the one that the fortress breaks? I didn't take a ballista for this battle. I killed everyone. I blinded the fairies. Then I restored all my troops. Then I gnawed the fairies with upgraded vampires. And how to make the enemy phoenixes break your own catapult -
hypnosis, or load save and replay the battle?
Save 6 - before the battle with Magnus.
That's enough, and you're already getting cocky :)

It took me 36 days in total.

Great - congratulations again.

In general, you should have saves that I asked you to post for everyone to see, because you clearly indicate the number of troops before each battle. I think that not only I will be grateful to you for them.
It is very useful to try to go through these battles from your saves.
Such saves should be posted in a separate topic - like training tasks! I think that VDV_forever will do this someday, it is clear that he has little free time. Well, for now, I think he would not mind if you posted such saves right here.
