Some people (for example, you) like practically all the features of Heroes 4. I don't like them all (I didn't like the resaves in battle, for instance), although I find the game itself quite appealing (more appealing than Heroes 3, but shhh, don't tell anyone). We are waiting for the official verdict.

What does liking or not liking have to do with it? The official rules do not forbid load-saving if such a possibility is provided. Everyone is on equal footing. And I don same understand what kind of verdict you are now expecting from the organizers. To ban load/save?? To remove minotaurs from the map?? Or to ban minotaur blocking altogether or allow it without limit. It's unlikely that anything can be fixed for this tournament more optimally than what I proposed. Only after it is over will we go back to Tournament Troubles again :)
