BLITZ TOURNAMENT

You can consider this a feature or something else, but there are rules. And many people are not happy with something, but since you expressed a desire to participate, please follow the rules. And personally, I don't care which version anyone plays, as long as everyone is on equal footing.

This is how it was!

:) Okay, it seems my colleague doesn't understand, let me try again: ----------------- Using navigation bonuses implies getting into a boat and getting out of it to increase the MP reserve (I think this is no longer available in SoD 3.2). If a player uses a boat to move between islands (or sections of the same island that are closer by water than by land), this is not considered exploiting a bug. In any case, if there is any (justified) reason to use a boat, it is not prohibited. ----------------- And here is an explanation of this point (which you cited in your post) at the request of VDV. And after that, we play according to the rules, but with more detailed and clarified explanations. So, next time, if there are no changes in the rules, I advise you to play on version 3.0 :)

Since it is often very difficult, and sometimes practically impossible, to foresee everything in Heroes III (this applies more to the specifics of tournament maps), I suggest that, starting with the next tournament, the following point be included in the tournament rules:
If a tournament participant discovers a potential bug, any flaw in the tournament map, and other moments that were not specified in the tournament rules and as a result of which the tournament participant gains an obvious advantage over those tournament participants who, for various reasons, did not use the above-mentioned game (map) features, they must обязательно ask the tournament organizer in a private message about the possibility or impossibility of using them.
The degree of obviousness of these moments will be determined by the tournament organizer, because without a final authority, it will not work.

I am against this point in the form you proposed. It turns out that during the tournament, it is impossible to discuss the tournament. And therefore, the decision to allow this trick as a feature or prohibit it as a bug will be made by a limited number of people, namely the organizer. That won't work! Let's do it this way: if the rules don't prohibit it, then it's allowed. And the participant who has found an advantage quietly and peacefully finishes the tournament, and after the tournament, he honestly announces the trick that he discovered and used because it was not prohibited. After that, the whole group decides what to do with this trick in the future, and the organizers quickly change the rules depending on the decision made by the group. Or is democracy canceled? :)
