I don't think there are many "hardcore" players here who save before every battle and reload if they don't minimize losses (especially when attacking an enemy that is stronger).
Honestly, I think 15 days is too little!
Personally, I didn't try to improve my result because this is my first experience in tournaments like this, and I want to see how strong the regulars of this forum are. Also, I was just too lazy to play Heroes for another hour and a half.
I hope there will be a place for me in the top 10! :smile33:

Minimizing losses is always nice, but on this map, it's not necessary. The goal here is to defeat everyone, not to build a cool Castle or have a strong monster.
And regarding 15 days – it really is too little.
Theoretically, it's possible to complete it in 15-16 days, but in practice, it takes 17 days or more.
As for the "secret" percentages, 36% is a good improvement because my first (attempt) was successful, as it seemed to me, so I submitted it.
There were reasons to think that I wouldn't have time to replay.
But I did have thoughts on how to improve the result (but not by much).
And then, during the last weekend, I managed to replay, and I played just for fun, but still focused on the result, and I achieved an improvement. By the way, I was wrong in my calculations; I improved by 43.5%.
