Why are you attacking this person? So what if he loaded a save in single-player and thought about it a bit? He walked around with the heroes, checked which armies work against which, and what units are effective.

That's normal! (s)

You're talking about offline play? And that's not allowed? It is!

That's what replay mode is for:cool:

And in general, it would be good to have something like in chess back in the day - play up to move 40, pause, analyze at home, and continue.

It would probably be a good idea to have a tournament like that. Mandatory pausing after, say, move 117, and analysis. Then detailed reports with the save at move 117 and the final result. If players recorded the main ideas of the analysis at move 117 (and not after the game) - it would be very interesting to see how much the analysis was adjusted by the real situation.

And why isn't there a tournament on HW like "Anarchy"? It would be interesting. The fewer rules, the better the game.
