1. To participate in the offline tournament for Heroes 4 "Spring Mobilization", you must register on our website and leave an application in this thread.
This tournament is official; ratings will be awarded based on its results.
2. Please pay attention! The tournament is played on version Heroes IV Equilibris 3.51 TE. The save will be generated in the English version.
3. Game Goal – You must assemble the largest possible army within 29 days (4 weeks and 1 day). Army size is measured by the amount of experience for each creature (value table attached
4. Tournament Rules.
1) Using cheat codes during the final walkthrough of the save is prohibited.
2) Restarting or any other modification of the starting save is prohibited.
3) Use of the space bar.
3.1) Use of the "space" key is PROHIBITED when boarding a boat.
3.2) Use of the "space" key is PROHIBITED when disembarking from a boat to shore.
3.3) Use of the "space" key is ALLOWED when pulling a killed hero (grave) from under monsters.
4) Bugs - SaveBag
4.1. Shifting monsters using saving is PROHIBITED.
4.2. Additional hero upgrades related to saving are PROHIBITED.
4.3. 65000 arrows for Elves using saving in battle is PROHIBITED.
5) Bugs - SinglBag
5.1. Overcoming obstacles on land, i.e., when dragging units with the mouse from upper slots to lower ones, they end up, for example, behind bushes that are usually impassable (the player does nothing prohibited and uses the mouse; during this operation, units lose some of their moves).
ALLOWED.
5.2. Overcoming obstacles when disembarking from a boat to shore, i.e., landing on shore without an indication that landing is possible (the anchor is not visible on the shore); again, this is done with the mouse, and units' moves are reset (space is obviously prohibited - see point 2).
ALLOWED.
5.3. Upgrading hero graves using a Thief. Upgrading hero graves using Grandmaster of Stealth.
TARGETED upgrading of a grave in this manner is PROHIBITED.
NON-TARGETED upgrading of a grave in this manner is ALLOWED.
You must provide a reasoned explanation as to why you were forced to accidentally upgrade the grave and why it could not be avoided.
5.4. Upgrading graves with ordinary units on attack, defense, or speed crystals (sapphires) in battle, or increasing magic points.
PROHIBITED.
5.5. Units carrying a grave are allowed to visit stables, oases, wells, and other objects that increase movement points.
Therefore, EVEN TARGETED own-carrying of a grave through these objects is ALLOWED.
5.6. Use of the hero's spellbook by the same hero as a grave on the travel map.
PROHIBITED.
6) The use of "completely Dead-end external dwellings" on the battlefield is prohibited.
(I will explain in more detail for those who don't understand: I consider a "Dead-end external dwelling" to be a COMPLETELY closed area, for example by rocks or logs, which contains a small island for a unit, such as a fairy, harpy, vampire, etc. That is, a place that cannot be entered on land by a unit of the smallest size (3x3) and can only be reached by air—a kind of natural fortress. Having such an external dwelling, one fairy could beat a hundred Black Dragons and win an impossible battle; to avoid such situations, I prohibit "Dead-end external dwellings" in this tournament.)
7) Discussion of the tournament on the forum during its progress is PROHIBITED!!!
(Players who violate this rule automatically disqualify themselves from playing the tournament; their results will not be counted and will be annulled).
8. EVERYTHING ELSE IS ALLOWED.
(unlimited number of heroes on the map beyond eight, and so on).
A "non-dead-end external dwelling," or more accurately a semi-open one, is allowed in this tournament.
(In this case, I call a semi-open external dwelling a place where a unit or Hero can enter on foot, while attacking monsters, regardless of their size, must be able to reach the Hero or unit to strike them (the point of a semi-open external dwelling is to limit the number of monsters attacking you simultaneously). Besides, it's not right for a Hero to hide in an external dwelling while enemies waste themselves on whatever. Our Heroes fight with open visors.)
9. During the tournament walkthrough, the player is obliged to keep intermediate saves for each game day.
Intermediate saves may be requested by the tournament organizer to verify the honesty of the run. If the use of cheat codes or errors and game features explicitly prohibited in the rules are detected, the player will be immediately excluded from the tournament.
Saves of controversial battles (e.g., a hero and fairy against 100 dragons) must also be made so that the fairness of the victory can be verified.
10. Along with the final save, players are required to send a description of the final battle tactics (the more complex the battle, the more detailed).
If the win depends on morale/luck rolls or specific actions of computer players, a full description of the battle is required—one that allows it to be replicated.
11. Send the final save to the email address Lu41k@yandex.ru. The sent save must contain the participant's number from the application table and the abbreviation SM ("Spring Mobilization"). Example: 1_SM _Lu41k.h4s.
12. The tournament starts on April 12 and will last until April 28 (inclusive). Results will be announced on April 30, 2008.
