Posts from [HMM V TOURNAMENT OFF] "Battle of the Oligarchs"

Could you ask the tournament organizer who I sent my save file to, and when...?

I discussed my playthrough with Lord Vampire and Psixxx about a week or two ago.

Well, Psyche got lucky; he took everything into account, ran to the dungeon for artifacts, and did everything else. However, his army is a bit different. Listen, will there be any prizes for 2nd and 3rd place, or only for 1st?

The topic was opened at the request of ......................................
Psixxx, congratulations on your victory once again.

Well, firstly – as far as I understand – Lord Vampir completed the map in 44 days, so why isn't he in the table...?
Secondly, I couldn't find the post where you, the tournament organizer, supposedly sent the save file... and therefore... I have doubts that you sent it before everyone else. As far as I understand (from the posts), Psixxx completed this map
first... and sent the save file first... which means that if you sent the save file after him, your result is invalid...;);) Please clarify.

How did you calculate the number of days? My game shows 39, but your table shows 46.

First of all, as I understand it, Lord Vampir completed the map in 44 days – why isn’t he in the table?...
Secondly, I couldn’t find a post where you, the tournament organizer, supposedly sent the save file... and therefore... I have doubts that you sent it before everyone else... as far as I understand (from the posts), Psixxx completed this map

Okay, I’ll remove myself. There’s no save file from Lord, and you need to read the rules; the table is preliminary.

Light God, you wrote my nickname incorrectly in the results table; you wrote Necromanser, but it should be Necromancher((( And WOLVARINE is spelled like THIS!!!

I didn't say your result was invalid... I just made a suggestion. And to avoid situations like this, there should be a rule in the tournament regulations: "Participants must report submitting the final save file in this thread." This way, there won't be any questions. And if you're the organizer, you should be the first to send the save file to someone who isn't interested in your tournament (and also notify the participants that the save file has been sent). For example, you could send it to Kyle or someone else... ;))
Sorry if I offended you... ;

So, I fixed everything. Including the table and everything else...

You said I was lucky. Are you doubting my professionalism? Or are you saying that you will beat me in another tournament? The word "luck" is offensive to me. So let's not talk about luck; there is no such thing in Heroes. There can be well-thought-out actions (every step, battles), but there is no such thing as luck, or several hours of battles being luck. Maybe you'll say that luck happens randomly, and the computer acts randomly? But all of this can be generated. Personally, I treat my opponents with respect; if I am beaten, it means that I didn't think something through or didn't pay enough attention, but that doesn't mean that he was lucky. With respect, Psixxx.

I looked at the result, and it turns out that it was 33 days in the game, and 34 in the Hall of Fame. Here is a link to all the replays: http://slil.ru/25355925/2e25aa8f.478c0b08/Replays.rar. In short, the last 3 days: Day 31: My hero (Agrael) is near the underground passage in the upper left corner, with an army of 3 Archdevils, 1 Devil, and 2 Pit Lords. With this army, I couldn't kill the opponent, so I run towards the side of the Witches. The Succubus with her army stands in the center, near the mana well. The hero from the Dungeon runs to the right and stops at the Sabazoth's lair. The Blue player's turn. 2 heroes run towards Agrael, and the other 2 run on the right side. Day 32: Agrael reaches the Sawmill. The Succubus gives him all the Devils and Pit Lords. Agrael has 3 Archdevils, 10 Devils, and 10 Pit Lords. The hero from the Dungeon goes to the lower right corner (but doesn't make it). The Blue player's turn. 2 heroes run towards Agrael, one is right behind him, and the other has just reached the Garrison. One is near the Garrison in the upper right corner, and the other is in the lower right corner, capturing the gold mine. Day 33: Agrael defeats 2 enemy heroes and ends up near the mana well. The Dungeon hero defeats the Blue hero in the lower right corner and goes back. The Succubus stands next to the Imp building. The Blue player passes through the Garrison and stands near the Mine. Day 34: The Dungeon hero goes up, and the Succubus takes the entire army and gives it to Agrael. Agrael defeats the Blue opponent. P.S. If anyone has any questions or wants a full walkthrough from me, feel free to contact me.

I thought you said you completed it in 34 days, but it turned out to be 33 days. What you find offensive is your business; I completed it in a maximum of 34 days, considering that the Princes would either run away from me or come to me, depending on how many troops I had. You were lucky that your computer handles things differently. If I had attacked them with the same number of troops as you, they would have dragged things out by running around until the very end, capturing everything along the way. Also, they all have excellent logistics and pathfinding skills. As for your professionalism, I'll tell you that I'm just as professional as you are when it comes to Heroes 5, and I've been playing since the game was first released and up to this day. I don't doubt your professionalism.

Neo, there's no luck involved; you just need to learn how to control the AI:). You run without an army, and they chase you. Suddenly, another hero appears, gives you an army, and you defeat the enemies that were chasing you. By the way, they couldn't catch me because of the Boots of Swiftness. As for the days, playing on the portal, I got used to the fact that the result is measured in days spent in the game, not in the Hall of Fame, and that's why I said 34 days.

Yes, I also had the Traveler's Boots, but never mind, let's see what else will be in the component.

2Neo Well, let's see how it goes in a cooperative game. ;)
I sent the save file a long time ago.

2 Root, I just can't understand your results table! You write the days based on what's shown in the Hall of Fame or based on what's shown in the game? As far as I know, the Necromancer finished the game on the 2nd month, 1st week, and 4th day, which is day 39. In the Hall of Fame, it should be day 38, so why is it written as 39 in the table? If you don't know what criteria to use for writing the results, I'll tell you: in all normal Heroes 5 tournaments (including the Van Kanegem tournament), the results are written based on the days in the game, but of course, I'm not insisting that you write it that way, but if you write it your own way, at least write all the results the same way... and not just randomly... Best regards, Lord of Vampires. P.S. Congratulations to the top three on their victories.
