The first stage of the tournament "named after Van Kanigem"

He climbed into the boat near the boots.

Well, you couldn't get the boat close enough to the warlock's castle back then. And he landed, not on the swamp, but above the warlock's fortress. And I landed right near the fortress gates. The turn ended. The next turn began, and I killed everyone.

I don't know. What should be considered the day after the landing?

The next turn :)

When the hero landed, his turn ended. So, are you saying that in one next turn, when the hero recovered after landing, you did "Game Over"? :) Then that's cool!

Yes! :) And I've already explained why I was so lucky. First, the warlock's fortress already had a magic portal. I had accumulated minerals to build a fourth-level magic building, considering that the computer built a Tower up to level 3 (and that's what I had). And I used this in the Barbarian's fortress. Plus, a Sorceress with three knowledge skills and good speed escaped to my territory earlier, as she is bought with only fairies. Therefore, after capturing the warlock, I bought this Sorceress there.

I made 2 moves with my main hero after the sea "resurrection".
It wasn't 11, was it?! :)

I made 1 move after the resurrection. The Walkthrough is limited by the speed of wood accumulation in this game :) I made the landing near my sawmill, but I didn't take the boots :(

I didn't even think that the computer might not have time to capture at least one village, because even the warlock had built 2 castles.
On day 15, the Sorceress was clearly going to run and capture the 2nd village (another hero was somewhere far away), and the Barbarian was a few squares away from his 2nd village.

I don't know for sure, but it seems I've discovered some kind of randomness pattern when playing the first Heroes game. One of them has already been mentioned here. Like, if you don't collect minerals well, the computer will also build the magic Tower slowly. And then I noticed that if you don't have additional villages, the computer won't rush to capture them either. If you don't build castles in the villages or capture castles, the computer will also try to have approximately the same number of castles as you, and if it doesn't have enough to match you, it will build them! That is, the AI of the computer here adapts to the human player!!! In my opinion, this is the coolest AI of all the Heroes game series!! And you can still take advantage of this by knowing at least approximately the algorithm of the computer's actions - I share my observations with you from the bottom of my heart, my companions :)
