1. To participate in this "Quick Death" Heroes 3 tournament, you must register on our website www.heroesworld.ru and also make a request in this thread.
Dear participants!!! The tournament is extended by two days (i.e., until November 22 inclusive)! You can find all the details via PM from the tournament organizer.
This tournament is held as part of the general John van Caneghem tournament, therefore all information, as well as its conduct and results, will be displayed in this section.
Note: final tournament results will also be available in the Heroes 3 offline tournaments section.
2. Tournaments are held on Russian versions of Heroes of Might and Magic III:
The Shadow of Death (Version 3.2) and Complete Collection [Platinum Edition] (Version 4.0) with the LMPatch installed (Version 4.1.1.1).
3. Game Goal – capture all mines in the minimum time. The second victory criterion is the highest amount of experience for the starting hero.
To win, you must capture the beacons!
The submitted save must contain the abbreviation (VC - van Caneghem) and the player's Nickname.
4. Along with the submitted save, you must provide a description of the last step (battle with a hero, battle for a castle, capturing an artifact, defeating the last monster) after which victory occurs, or the scenario walkthrough.
5. >>> Save walkthrough rules can be read here <<<
Important points:
1.4.13. Premature interruption of flight when using the "Fly" spell (or "Angel Wings" artifact), for example, by pressing the Space key to attack cities or other objects. Also, at the initiative of the tournament organizer, flying over passage guards may be prohibited. This point is specified by the organizer of the specific tournament.
1.4.12. It is forbidden to use the combined artifact "Admiral's Hat" (it can be used in disassembled form). For reference: by repeatedly boarding and disembarking from a boat using the "Admiral's Hat" artifact, it is possible to obtain navigation bonuses. The organizer may, at their discretion, allow the use of the combined artifact "Admiral's Hat" by specifying this as a separate point in the rules of a specific tournament. In this case, the organizer must also indicate whether this artifact can be used without restrictions or only in certain cases (for example, allowing its use only when the main goal is to cross a water barrier necessary for specific player actions, rather than obtaining navigation bonuses on land).
1.4.14. "Neutral pass-through" is allowed.
For reference: suppose a hero is standing on a swamp, having a neutral unit (sniper, nomad, troll, etc.) and a hydra (native swamp troop) in the army. If the neutral unit (sniper) is placed to the left of the native unit (hydra) in the troop deployment slots, the hero will move through swamp terrain without penalty, as if all creatures in the army were native; if the neutral unit is placed to the right, the hero will move through swamp terrain with a penalty.
1.4.15. It is forbidden to leave the hero without troops through any manipulations. Exception: leaving the hero without troops is allowed only if they were given for a quest.
1.4.16. It is permitted to dismiss heroes located in a castle via the "Kingdom Overview" menu -> "Show Towns".
6. Send the save to =12&style=000000&style[bgcolor]=FFFFFF&style[format][]=bold" />.
7. In case of suspicion of cheating or other malicious intent during the map walkthrough, a save must be made for every game day.
In such a case (detection of cheating), the player will be required to send additional saves and provide a walkthrough description to the tournament organizer to determine whether the play was unfair or fair.
The result of a player who played unfairly is nullified, and their further participation in tournaments will be impossible. This will also reflect poorly on their reputation.
8. Discussion of the tournament during its conduct is FORBIDDEN!!!
(Players who violate this rule automatically exclude themselves from playing the tournament; their results will be nullified and not counted).
9. The tournament starts on October 20 and lasts until November 20 (inclusive!)**. The result will be announced on November 25, 2008.
Dear participants!!! The tournament is extended by two days (i.e., until November 22 inclusive)! You can find all the details via PM from the tournament organizer.
10. After receiving your save, you will see in the application table that:

save counted - Italic-Bold Nickname.
