Posts from [HoMM5 Tournament OFF] The fifth stage of the John Van Caningham Memorial Tournament.

1. To participate in the offline HoMM 5 tournament "The Fate of the Silver Cities," you must register on our website and also submit an application in this thread.

2. The tournament will be held on the Russian version of Heroes 5 from 1C, game version 3.1. The save file was generated on the Russian version 3.1.

3. The goal of the game is to kill the Necromancer as quickly as possible; the result will be evaluated based on the number of days taken. If some players have the same number of days, the winner will be determined by the amount of experience gained. If a favorite still cannot be determined, it will be decided by the amount of gold.
4. Spell restrictions: Astral Gate, Crystal Prison, Wall of Swords.
5. The tournament starts on July 16th and ends on August 3rd (inclusive). Save files can be submitted starting on July 31st (as I am also participating) and submissions will close on August 3rd at 24:00 Moscow time.
6. Send your save file to TihonovaAnna@ya.ru (If you do not receive confirmation that your save file has been received within 24 hours, then the save file was not received.)

Dear tournament participants, please note that in all buildings on the map, you can hire units at once; this is not a glitch or bug, but rather an idea from the map creator.

The tournament is official

I wish everyone enjoyable games!

Sign me up.

I'm participating :).

Thank you for the tournament – it's been a while since there was an official tournament for Heroes 5 :smile20:.

Dear organizer! After the battle with the Necromancer, the game tells me that the mission is completed. Which save file should I send?:confused: And is a replay of the final battle required?

Usually, the save file is sent before the final battle, when your hero is one step away from the enemy hero. A replay of the final battle is also usually required.

By the way, I advise you to play the game again, as in 90% of cases, the overall result improves significantly with a second playthrough. ;)

Good luck.

valery, as mentioned above, it's a good idea to save your game before the final battle, and a replay wouldn't hurt either. Should we add you to the list of tournament participants?

Yes, I’m participating. Please register me!

Please register me as well.

Please sign me up.

I have a question: what will be the secondary criterion for evaluating the save? Will it be the hero's overall stats, with or without considering equipped artifacts, or the amount of experience (hero's level)? The save is already ready, but the main hero had some extra movement points left at the end, and I would like to know the second criterion for evaluating the result. Thank you in advance.

Sign me up too. P.S. - The map isn't very difficult, and the results will probably be very close. Therefore, the secondary evaluation criterion will be very relevant... who ends up in what position. Maybe just the number of days and gold (since resources are scarce)?

The tournament started on the 16th. There is no secondary criterion in the header. Changing anything during the tournament is considered bad form.

Want to participate as a monk???

The tournament started on the 16th. There is no secondary criterion in the header. Changing anything during the tournament is a faux pas.

Precisely because the tournament is easy, there will likely be identical playthroughs in terms of the number of days. On the other hand, since Adelaide is also a participant in the tournament and asked not to send save files until the end of the month, it means that before this moment (while no results have been accepted yet), it is possible to make clarifications to the rules of THIS tournament - how exactly will the players be ranked in the table if they have the same number of days?

The tournament started on the 16th. The secondary criterion is missing from the header. Changing anything during the tournament is bad form.

I agree that it's bad form, but the issue still needs to be resolved.
I'm adding an update to the first post of the thread: if some players have the same number of days, the better player will be determined by the amount of experience. If a favorite still can't be determined, it will be determined by the amount of gold.
