Posts from [HMM II TOURNAMENT OFF] 6th Joint 3-Resource Tournament: "Golden Dragon"

Yes, I agree with the previous post. Thank you to the organizers, and thank you for the well-made map, which allowed us to demonstrate many skills and strategies. I got a lot of enjoyment from playing, although after I quickly deleted the save file.
Now we'll wait for the results, if there are no problems with that.

Preliminary results:
1. DR28

478920

8. Sсulptor 116325
9. APOSTOLs 116150

So, the save from level 151 or so didn't make it, or got lost, but it doesn't really matter. We're waiting for at least a brief description from the winner. To be honest, I knew my result was modest, but the first result is very impressive. I don't even see any possibilities for how such a score could have been achieved.

2 Ergon
We will definitely investigate.
I will try to publish the updated data tomorrow.

Yes, the excerpt turned out to be quite interesting; I didn't expect that. I thought I would place 4th or 5th. I'll write something after the results are confirmed.

Yes, everything is fine, let it stay as it is; it's still a few thousand points short of 6th place. There's a lack of experience, and also a lack of perseverance. I couldn't manage to defeat the nearest Barbarian hero in the final stage to gain control of the gold mine, no matter how many times I tried (he just didn't go for it, and that was it; I lost in the early game). And then, he took the central Knight castle without any losses, gathered cavalry and archers to add to his horde of Orcs, prevented proper development, and ruined the entire save.

How can someone with such a phenomenal result think like that? It would require managing to gather almost all the resources, capture all the mines by day 5-10, capture all the castles quickly (while managing to keep the opponent's hero), collect all the chests, and exchange all the resources. And even with all that, the final score still comes out to less than 400.

Ergon's results have been adjusted. By the way, it's a very good result for a debut!

Well, DR28 didn't write this without reason. There are some real veterans here too.

Great. Saves! Saves! Saves! (predsik[dog]mail.ru)

Interesting results! I hope the masters will share their experience and provide detailed walkthroughs for each day, and it would be great if they also shared the save files. Congratulations to everyone who participated! And of course, to the winner! As for my playthrough, I could have scored 300,000 points, but I couldn't manage more than that. If anyone is interested, I can also upload my save files and walkthrough.

I would gladly watch all the save files from level 1 to level 5. There are probably different tactics and interesting discoveries.
Also, I would really like to know approximately how many hours it took to complete this map? I spent about 15 hours on it myself, and another 5 hours replaying the last 9 turns to get a few more points.

2 Ergon. I gathered all the resources (didn't have time to eliminate the Knight of Dawn in the final playthrough), and captured all the mines within 14-15 days. I captured the last castle (red) on the 11th day. Then I spent a week guarding various objects. My shortcomings: 1. 3000 for the Knight of Dawn. 2. 2100 - I bought 7 horses. 3. 2000 - I bought bandits. 4. 2000 - due to that nasty purple Knight, I had to delay capturing two gold mines for one turn. 5. I didn't bother with mills and mushrooms to get expensive resources. And of course, I had to buy 5 Djinns and build 8 markets. I played for about 12 days, 3-4 hours a day at work.

...managing to keep the opponent's hero alive....

Why? (10)

probably to prevent someone from claiming victory unfairly.

probably to prevent someone from winning easily :)

The standard win condition was disabled in the save file.
