I tried for a very long time to get him to attack the nearest and most important Castle (of course, my Castle), but I achieved this not through save-loading, but through the correct arrangement of troops in Castles located at equal distances.:smile13:
This is interesting. But after you achieved the arrangement of troops in different Castles, does the computer ALWAYS attack that Castle on its turn?

So, I think it's still worth judging based on save files rather than tables, to avoid problems. At least, that's what I did.

For example, for VDV, one of the secondary victory parameters is OIL.
And how do you view it, for example? One player will complete the game in 12 days on their turn, and another in 13 days on their turn. If the table provides additional information (I'm referring to Heroes 4), then it shows points for minerals. So, the program will calculate the minerals produced by the mines for the second player on the 13th day. However, the judge subtracts 1 day, so everything needs to be adjusted (experience, minerals, money, and skeletons, for example - depending on what the game is played on). Because the player who won purely on the 12th day on their turn, the program won't calculate this, as the day didn't change.
Therefore, VDV's position is more appealing to me. And in my opinion, there are fewer problems with judging in this case. Because, for example, in Heroes 3, you can't save during a battle. And, for example, you receive a save file that says you need to pass the turn, and the computer will attack, and you need to win. You start playing, but the computer doesn't attack. And the player writes to you that the computer does attack. What do you do?
Will you be able to prove that the player is deceiving you?
