Posts from 1st inter-portal tournament of HMM3-OFF: "Air Magic"
I invite all fans of Heroes 3 to take part in the first, JOINT tournament of two Heroes communities: HeroesWorld.ru and HeroesPortal.net
«Air Magic»
General Tournament Rules:
1. To participate in the Heroes 3 Tournament, you must register on our website or on the HeroesPortal.net website. If desired, you can also leave an application in this thread. By leaving an application, you will be notified about receiving your save in the application table.
2. The tournament is held on the Heroes 3: The Shadow of Death version with patch 3.2 or 4.0.
3.The goal of the game is to obtain the artifact – “The Book of Air Magic” – in the shortest number of days. In case of a tie in the number of days, the second criterion will be the sum of the primary stats (Attack, Defense, Magic Power, Knowledge) taking into account the equipped artifacts! Note: The sum of the primary stats is calculated directly in the final save (if the last action is a battle, the sum of the stats is calculated before the battle!)
4. Discussion of the tournament during its course is PROHIBITED!!!
If the organizer, or his assistant, has documented evidence of a discussion about the tournament, in any place on the Internet, he has the right to permanently disqualify such player(s) from participating in tournaments on www.heroesworld.ru. The results of such players will not be counted and will be annulled.
The tournament organizer also reserves the right to consider that the discussion of the tournament was between players if players from the same clan completed the tournament in exactly the same way.
1. All battles conducted in the tournament may be subjected to verification by the tournament organizers to confirm that they can be repeated on any computer, and participants may be asked to provide detailed descriptions of the battles they conducted.
If battles are repeated, the outcome of morale, luck, or abilities should not be a decisive factor in the victory (saving the army) and should not be necessary when the tournament organizer repeats the battle.
A player may deviate from these rules and build their victory on a single occurrence of morale, luck, or abilities, and ask the tournament organizer to replay their battle several times to confirm the repeatability of the results.
In the event of a deviation from these rules, as well as the inability of the tournament organizer to repeat any of the battles in the tournament within 25 attempts, the participant's final save will be annulled.
2. Prohibition of escaping from the sea and subsequent movement of the redeemed hero, using navigation bonuses on land.
In other words, this prohibition applies to the following cases:
1. Using the hero's artifact “Admiral's Hat” or its components;
2. The hero has the “Navigation” skill of any level;
3. The presence (construction or taking control) of a Lighthouse(-s).
In other cases, it is allowed to escape from the sea and move the redeemed hero.
If you have any questions, please contact the organizer in a private message!
6. In the event of suspicion of a player cheating, or other malicious intent when completing the map, it is necessary to make a save before each significant event (for example, before a battle, before hiring another hero). The result of a player who played unfairly, as well as one who did not send their description (saves) in time at the request of the tournament organizer, will be annulled, and their further participation in tournaments will be impossible. This will also affect their reputation, not in a good way.
7. The sequence of actions to participate in the tournament:
7.1. Download the save.
7.2. The downloaded save must be placed in the GAMES folder of your installed Heroes 3 on your computer.
7.3. Load it and start the game at any time that is convenient for you, while remembering to make intermediate saves (at least at the end or beginning of each game day, or better, both at once).
7.4. After completing the last action (after which the victory occurs), you must save again. The final save should contain two heroes (the remaining heroes must be dismissed): the one performing the last action and the hero whose stats are counted; if these heroes coincide, only one should remain.
Save name: The final save must be named after the participant's nickname.
Example: Dirty_Player.gm1
After receiving your save, you will see in the application table that:
save accepted - in bold Nickname.
save counted – in italic Nickname.
7.5. A complete description of the tournament map is encouraged (not required).
8. The tournament starts on 02/16/2009 and will last until 03/16/2009 (inclusive, until 24:00 Moscow time). Only one final save is accepted from a player.
The results will be published no later than 03/26/2009.
Wow, Dirty, that's just awesome!!! Excellent! :smile03: The map is another hit, just like 4sale, it's small and packed with content! :) I'll gladly participate in the tournament, sign me up:D Hmm, as I understand it, it's being played without the LM v.4.1.1.1 patch? :smile50: Cool) I solemnly swear not to use the LM Oracle!;)
P.S. - I wouldn't have enough time for a map with zombies, so sorry.
Question to the organizer: IS it possible to play ON the patch? Yes/No.
No. You cannot play on the patch. The tournament is inter-portal, who knows what might suddenly pop up, like in the For Sale tournament... It's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.
Bone, greetings. This is a great map ;-), thank you for the work you’ve done for US. P.S. Hmm..., the organizer won’t have an easy time if someone tries to repeat the same battle 25 times :-)
No. It's not possible to play on a patch. It's an interportal tournament, who knows what might suddenly come up, like in the For Sale tournament... It's better to be overcautious than undercautious.
I think that playing on a patch will allow you to prove your point better than playing without a patch, in the case of a difficult-to-reproduce battle, like in the For Sale tournament!:smile01: And do we need any extra arguments among the participants and organizers?
P.S. In Heroes 1, for example, even 50 repetitions by the organizer may not be enough to reproduce a particular battle.
I think that with a patch, it will be easier to prove your point than without a patch, in the case of a difficult-to-reproduce battle, like in the For Sale tournament! :smile01: And do we need extra arguments among the participants and organizers?
If, with a patch, in some battle, morale starts to drop, it won't be fair to those who play on SOD, so this tournament is held without a patch!
Of course, you can secretly play with a patch at your own risk, but you need to understand that if something happens, the result will be annulled.

I think that Sir Sub-Zero and I will figure out the reality of conducting the battle; we've been playing for a while, so please don't worry about it ;)

Hi everyone! Just registered! I've always played Heroes 3 at home for hours, days, and years, and now I'm eager to try competing in tournaments. Questions:
1. How do I check the Sob version? I've already downloaded and installed the patch, but how do I verify that it's installed correctly (I mean the patch...)? Was there an official version of HMM III: The Shadow of Death plus Armageddon's Blade for map regeneration? What should I officially install?
2. I understand that I need to follow the rules, but is there anything else I need to know about hero development, like not taking Solmyr if I choose him, and if I do, dismissing him after level 2? Or is it simpler: save the game, play, save again, submit, and win!
3. And thirdly, tell the newbie what's what here!
Enter the Heroes windowed mode (press F4 to switch between fullscreen and windowed modes; the color palette should be set to 16-bit: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Display -> Settings -> Color Palette). In the Heroes window menu, click Help -> About. In the window that appears, you will see the Heroes version. qDLenin
I already downloaded and installed the patch, how do I check if it's installed?
What patch did you install? 3.2? 4.0? Then, see the answer to your question 1. There you will see which version is installed, i.e., whether the patch was installed. qDLenin
What needs to be officially installed?
Read the tournament rules in the first post of the thread! Point 2. The tournament is held on Heroes 3: The Shadow of Death version with patch 3.2 or 4.0. :smile35: qDLenin
Further, I understand that I need to follow the rules, but is there anything else I need to know about leveling up heroes, like not taking Solmyr, and if you do, then after level 2, dismiss him at the end of the day?! Or is it simpler here: download a save, play, save, send, win!!!
No, it's not that simple: download, play. You need to follow the tournament rules, no more, no less. Read them again!
What patch did you install? 3.2? 4.0? Then, check the answer to your question in section 1. There you will see which version is installed, i.e., whether the patch was installed.
Hmm... that's strange. I checked the version, it's 3.1. I'm installing a patch from 3.1 to 3.2, and it seems to have installed correctly (no errors). I check again, and it's still 3.1? Okay, maybe there's a link to the 4.0 patch; I couldn't find it in the site's archives...
Read the tournament rules in the first post of the thread! Point 2. The tournament is held on Heroes 3: The Shadow of Death version 3.2 or 4.0. :smile35:
Of course, I read the rules, and there's no need to bang my head against the wall! I might get sick!
No, it's not just like that. I downloaded it and played through it. You need to follow the rules of the tournament, no more, no less. Read them again!
Of course! :smile17: I think everything is perfectly clear!!!
