Yes, we're waiting for the analysis. I know how to complete it in 8 days. But less than 7...
Are you carrying the heroes' tombs with you in your pockets in this version? If reports are still required from me (what if someone beats me in points or oil?), even if they aren't, I suggest conducting the next report in the following manner: 1. It's pointless to write a detailed description when any turn can be reviewed by having the save file at the end of the turn. In this mode, you can't see how the battle was played, but who attacked whom and what the result was after the battle is clearly visible. Therefore, if the player provides save files at the end of each turn of their playthrough, it would probably be logical for the description to be brief, indicating the main points. 2. If someone is interested, even if not in the verification itself, but to improve their gameplay, if they feel they need it, they can watch the video and even mentally figure out how to win a particular battle. If a solution cannot be found, a question is formulated directly here on the forum, and the person being checked answers. If necessary, a save file from the battle can be added (for example, a save file before the ATTACK, so that everyone interested can try to win the battle THEMSELVES. Or a save file from the moment the battle is looping, so that everyone can be sure that the battle is actually winnable). 3. It is desirable to systematize the questions. That is, first, there are questions only about the first day of the playthrough. It is desirable to request save files not from all battles. The volumes, however, are considerable. But only from the most difficult ones. 4. The question should be formulated specifically, indicating the coordinates on the map and what exactly is unclear. ---------------------------------------------------------- Will that work? Does everyone agree?

Another point regarding sending save files for Heroes 4. The volume of save files is considerable. There is an archiver called win-gz.exe. In Heroes 4, save files are stored in a compressed format <save file name>.h4s. This archiver can decompress the save file. Other archivers can also decompress save files. Whatever you prefer. And the decompressed files need to be compressed with the 7-Zip archiver. Excellent result. Traffic saving. The archive then needs to be unzipped with the 7-Zip program. You can immediately add the .h4s extension to each file and put it in the Heroes Game directory. They should work even if they are not re-compressed. But if you want to do it correctly, first, decompress the files one by one with the win-gz.exe program. And only then add the h4s extension to them and put them in the Heroes Game directory. Shall we learn this? Then look for the corresponding software win-gz and 7-Zip on the Internet. Unfortunately, I don't remember the links to them right now. If anyone finds them, post the links here
