Heroes-4 "Deep forest" off-line Tournaments!

I still don't understand how you got vampires on day 5. Fairies join my army if Sandryk is in it. On day 3, I don't reach the ruins because I'm standing near the sawmill with Solimr and the fairies. And only on day 5 do I fight the medusae (without Vampire Touch). But where do I get the money??? (I broke through the ravine back on day 1; first I stole the armor with Solimr, gave it to Sandryk and went to the ravine, and then for the fairies, leaving 30 of them there.)
Why doesn't Solimr Charm the fairies himself, but only with Sandryk?

Everything is simple with the vampires, the main thing is to have enough money. Look for yourself: in the past, on the first day I built Magic2, on the second day Magic3, on the third day Magic4, on the fourth
Day the Kennel, and on the fifth you can build the Mausoleum and buy two Vampires there. Money for all this can be obtained in various places, for example, in the Orc Treasury, but for that you need to break through the upper squad of medusae, and that's not particularly related to Sandryk's main path, so I just accumulated the cash along the main road, including the Graveyard.
I also took chests for gold, but then I realized that building Vamps just slows me down, and therefore I gave up on them, and naturally on the Kennel too. :)

To make friends with fairies, the total experience weight of the Mage's army with the charm ability must exceed the total weight of the fairy army by three times. For example, the experience of 66 fairies is 462.
Then the experience weight of my army must be at least 1386 units. A level 2 hero weighs 300 units, a level 5 hero weighs 600, meaning two heroes weigh 900. To make the fairies join, you need to hire more troops for 486 units; in imps that's 98 units, in skeletons 81. Now think about where to get that many. Specifically in my case, I did manage to make the fairies join without Sandro, however, there were only 35 fairies and Solimr attacked them with 50 skeletons and 19 imps; five fairies joined him, but that's quite enough to play comfortably. :D

I actually get into the boat on the sixth day, although it seems it's possible on the fifth, and then comes the most interesting part: there are plenty of options, choose whichever you want, but in my opinion, on this map, sailors rule, so it's better to pay attention to upgrading seamanship from the first days. :)

The Kanigem tournament has just started. A tournament on HoMM1 is underway. I replayed it three times—enough—whatever happened, happened. Just finished. Now I'll try to finish my walkthrough here. I won't have time to replay it anyway—I'll continue my version for the quorum :)
And will you participate in the Kanigem tournament when the HoMM4 stage begins? To be honest, I don't know for sure yet—if there will even be a stage for the 4th. But if so?

I will naturally play in the Kanigem tournament for the fourth; the main thing is for them to decide on the rules early, because in the first ones you guys had something like a lot of confusion, it's hard to figure out what's what. Everything should be understood easily and not contradict common sense, or will the rules be uniform for all versions of Heroes? Well, in general, I'll definitely play, although I realize I won't gain a high rating since I won't participate in other parts of the tournament besides the fourth, but that's not important—I'll play just for the victory, I love the fourth. :cool:

There's one thing I don't understand. Why are you discussing the walkthrough of the tournament before it has finished? That's not a tournament then, but a collective walkthrough of the map.

Here is my answer.
In any case, players use more or less similar walkthrough tactics one way or another, and sometimes communicate with each other privately discussing certain ideas. So I decided: why not just allow open discussion since it's happening anyway? Moreover, it's impossible to know exactly how many points a particular player will score; even if all players finish the save in the same number of days, for example, in 10, the points will still be different. And even if the points coincide, the amount of gold will be different, and that's exactly the order in which the winner will be determined. That is, the element of uncertainty regarding the final result (which is the main characteristic of a tournament) is preserved until the very last move of the hero.
Therefore, I still believe that it is indeed a Tournament, but true, with elements of collective discussion (one does not hinder the other). And the final argument in favor of this type of tournament is that, as far as I know, there are no other such tournaments anywhere, while there are many with a ban on discussion. :)

So I suggest everyone try playing; you won't lose anything anyway, but on the contrary, you'll only gain new gaming experience. :D

I should probably also make a table on the title page like VDV_forever has, with a list of players who are playing in the tournament so that the participants are roughly visible.
I'll organize this miracle later! :)
