REGULATIONS FOR THE FIRST CLAN OFFLINE TOURNAMENT. 1. TOURNAMENT FORMAT. The tournament is a single-round individual and team competition. The results will be summarized both individually among the participants and among the Clans. Among the participants, everything is as usual - places are distributed according to the results. Clan placements will be determined based on the arithmetic mean of the top three representatives of the clan (the lower the sum of the places, the higher the clan's result!). If a clan has only one or two participants at the end of the tournament, it will not participate in the ranking of clans! 2. TASK FOR THE TOURNAMENT. To avoid complicating the summary of results too much, I have prepared a task for speedrunning. The goal of the game is to capture all castles and kill all computer heroes. The criterion is the number of days. In case of equal results, the player who prepares and uploads the final save faster will be ranked higher in the table! 3. TOURNAMENT RULES. We play according to the classic offline rules that have been in effect on our HeroesWorld for almost a year. /topic/102/ 4. GAME VERSION. The starting save will be generated on Tournament Edition 1.03p, but fully adapted for playing on Shadow of Death 3.2. In TE, hero recruitment will be available; in SoD, you will have to dig up heroes manually as before. There will be no conceptual differences! 5. DURATION OF THE TOURNAMENT. The tournament starts on October 16th. Two weeks are allotted for preparation. That is, participants must upload their final saves to the forum no later than October 30th. 6. JUDGING AND TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE TOURNAMENT. To avoid any doubts about objectivity, I have developed the following mechanism. All participants who prepare a final save upload it in the form of an archive protected by a password directly to the forum! Within no more than three days after the end of the submission of saves, they also indicate the password to open the archive there. Then everything is as usual - I check the saves and create the final table. Everything is completely transparent and open, while even the judge of the tournament does not know your results until he receives the password. But the list of participants can be seen by everyone!!! I have uploaded the task. The archive contains a detailed description!

Will only members of already established Clans be allowed to participate in this tournament?

Question: How do I password-protect an archive? Please explain it in detail for me, as I'm not very tech-savvy.

Will this tournament only be open to members of already established clans?

Anyone can participate, regardless of clan affiliation! All participants will be ranked at the end.
However, the clan standings will only be calculated among clans that are registered and have three or more participants in this tournament.

I'll create a help file for WinZip, which will be included in the same archive as the assignment. It will also contain an FAQ about the tournament, including the rules, the map, and instructions on how to install TE – in other words, everything you need.
If there are any difficulties with this format for running the tournament, we can go back to the old method of sending save files via email.
I simply wanted to participate in the tournament myself, and to minimize the number of questions directed at me, I proposed this scheme.
Also, participants are often interested in the save files of their opponents, so they will be available to everyone, and there will be no need to send them back and forth.

Interesting scheme. I liked the first point! That's exactly what needs to be done!!! If they want to take a prize-winning place, let them find people who will play in the tournaments!!!
But there is a problem. Combining the final stage of the ranked tournament with this. I probably won't be able to participate; I already played poorly in the first round.

Good day.
Will there be tasks related to the second heroes?
And also for other versions of the game?

Perhaps there's been some confusion regarding the tournament start date? Today is the 16th, but where is the assignment? Or, for the sake of prudence, did you decide to postpone it for a while, to allow for a break between tournaments?

I apologize for the slight delay. There were some network access issues. The assignment has been posted; it contains everything you need: a starting save, a map, a configuration file for TE, a description of the assignment, map, and save, instructions for WinZip, and a rating system.

And here is a little history:
The map "Forward, Vikings!" is well-known among players. Its popularity is understandable: it has an original appearance and a lot of dynamics.
Many people played it in both Multiplayer and single-player modes. However, in this version, most will see this map for the first time!!!

The main difference was inspired by the great popularity of the game "Age of Empires," where many people loved to play online with an open map. Heroes didn't have this option. And then the idea came of how to implement it. It was first done on the "Forward, Vikings!" map about 6 years ago, although the goal was different – online judging!
After that, there were many maps on which people played with an open map. The reason for this type of game was the increasing number of cases where the host viewed the maps in the editor. This way, everyone is on equal footing. This type of game is good for training beginners. Strong players give a handicap – allowing weaker players to view their game!

I wish all participants of the tournament good luck!!!

Good afternoon.
Will there be assignments for Heroes 2?
And also for other versions of Heroes?

This tournament is only for Heroes 3. For Heroes 4, I suggested making an offline tournament with the same scheme, but there are not many people there yet, and therefore it is going as it is. For Heroes 2, it will probably be later. I doubt the need for an offline tournament for Heroes 5.
That is, this is currently an experiment, to help Clans, who can find new legionaries among individual participants.

I remember, I remember!!! A great map. I played a duel on it not so long ago. It's a pity I can't send that save. Unfortunately, I won't have the opportunity to play anymore due to my service. I came to say goodbye to Heroes before spring. :( :( :(

It's a pity that you won't be able to play. By the way, the map has one interesting difference from the classic version - the Grail, which doesn't give money but reveals the map.
Respect to PALADINy for the original invention!!!

In principle, I understand the rating system for duels and clan competitions, but I don't quite understand how the rating will be calculated in tournaments for individual players. And also, since we're talking about unity, I think we should organize regular tournaments for all versions of the game, with a unified rating system, and post their rules in a closed thread at the very top of the tournament section.

As you can see, this is the first clan tournament with a test calculation system.
Why immediately focus on all other versions? They are less popular, and it's unknown who will participate! We don't even know how many people will play in the clan tournament for the classic version 3, since the tournament is open - send the

In principle, I understand the calculation system for duels and clan matches, but I don't quite understand how the rating will be calculated in Tournaments for individual players.

And also, since we're talking about unity, I think we should have regular Tournaments for all versions of the game, with a unified rating system, and their rules should be posted in a closed topic at the very top of the Tournament section.

The calculation in Tournaments takes a long time and is tedious. Everyone is ranked, a draw is made, and the results are calculated round by round, from first to last. This is the main drawback – the system was designed to be automated, but even then, you still have to enter who won against whom.
The system works and objectively reflects the strength of the players, if, of course, at least 70% of the entire rating list regularly participates in the Tournaments.
From the new year, there will be a Tournament schedule. There is a closed topic with rules for 3 heroes! But since there may be some differences in Tournaments, the rules are made closed, and the regulations are for the Tournaments. This is a little more convenient – newcomers don't need to read the rules at all, but only what applies to a specific Tournament.

We don't even know how many people will play in the clan Tournament for the classic 3-player game, since the Tournament is open – send the save on time, and you are a participant!

Now we will know, because the saves need to be posted on the forum! Natasha came up with a good way to make her job of sending saves easier!!!
However, even in the closed Tournament, we don't know who sent the saves, and some of the "participants" were not participants at all.

Yes, I think this will be more interesting and clearer!
I just meant that at the very beginning of the tournament, we won't know (at least approximately) how many saves there will be in the end.
This is, of course, pleasing (in the sense of not being uncertain and being OPEN), but in my opinion, it's not relevant at the moment...:(... more people could participate in the tournament than actually do!

Uh... I have this bug... Basically, after the first battle (it doesn't matter where it takes place or who I'm fighting, and it doesn't matter if I win or lose), the game displays this message: "Your time is up. Turn passed," and it happens every day...
