The third “New Year’s” tournament for Heroes of Might and Magic II.

Yes, that’s interesting. My playthrough was probably the most idiotic (that’s why I scored so low and didn’t even get last place).
The tactic was – two loops (the first – collecting chests for money, building up the castle, taking a village, and returning to the home castle through zombies; the second – for boots, gaining experience through orcs, and returning through nomads) and free exploration – from the castle upwards, along the right edge, collecting everything possible, and recruiting the dwarves (they helped a lot). And the most interesting thing is – I didn’t encounter any computer-controlled heroes.
