THE MAIN THING without cheats or bugs
The concept of bugs should be described in full. It's not for nothing that the offline version has rules by which tournaments are played.
for example http://www.heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=270698
Otherwise, someone might take your suggestion seriously, keep toiling over it, and then BAM, it turns out it's a bug. And using it wasn't allowed.
So everything needs to be clearly specified in advance.
By the way, I recommend making a duplicate thread on HeroesPortal http://www.heroesportal.net/tavern/?forumid=52, there are real monsters of HoMM3 offline playing there, in case someone is interested.
And another thing, make an actual thread with a description, not a link to HeroesWorld, because Gorbik is nervous there and always gets angry when he sees links to competitors, i.e. HeroesWorld :D

Yes, yes, I will definitely write it down and also create a topic on Heroeportal. I'm just still thinking about which bugs can be used and which ones can't, and I'm also looking at map-related bugs. That's why I wrote that everything will start on May 11th, and then I'll post all the conditions.

The prize pool has increased, thanks to my friend, who also wants to participate and is adding $40. So the prize pool will be $100! :)

$100 is much more interesting! Unfortunately, I won't be able to compete. By the way, I'd like to request that the time allowed for completion be increased to at least 3 months, or even half a year, since the battles there seem to be very challenging, and improving the result will require a lot of time.
Auto-translated
thinking of making it 3 months? Hmm, there are indeed plenty of battles there. But when I played, it took me 1.5 days of weekend to complete the map for the first time (20 months).
The second time, when I played again, I also finished it in a weekend, but the result was 8 months. So, if you only play on weekends, you can already achieve a good result.
I just don't want to drag out the contest; I'm eager to get started!)
Anyway, I'm saying it again, if you like it, and if enough participants gather, I'll take it into account for next time and make the deadline longer.
It's a shame that not many people play Heroes 3 anymore; usually, it's just on a whim, and someone might not even see the topic. But at least 2 people will be playing :) and that's already interesting!
By the way, I created a topic on HP: http://www.heroesportal.net/tavern/?id=369473

Almost everything is allowed regarding bugs!
You can use the following bugs:
- Dig up the Grail (it is always in the same place, so no one will win with this).
- Hire your dismissed or killed heroes on the day of their dismissal or death.
- Use magic twice in one turn during battle.
- Leave a hero without troops.
- Sell artifacts and scrolls at inflated prices.
- Repeatedly attack and retreat (lose) from battles against groups of neutral creatures containing an enhanced stack (multidefeat).
- Use navigation bonuses on land.
- Use the "Admiral's Hat" artifact in its assembled form.
- Dismiss a hero in the city garrison.
- Kill Jellu (there's a bug where he has 9999 snipers in each cell, but if you let Jellu enter the castle, the number of snipers will become ~5000).
All of this can be used.

Well, if someone doesn't want to participate, they shouldn't.
It's just a hassle dealing with bugs, and it's impossible to keep track of everything, plus no one benefits from the bugs if everyone uses them. It's a shame that the game developers didn't finish it properly.
I've allocated the funds, so let's get started :)
I'll post the initial save on May 11th.

- use the "Admiral's Hat" artifact in its assembled form
By using this bug, you can traverse the entire map in one turn. How is this different from the cheat "extra hero mobility"?
- use magic twice per turn in battle
Available in older versions. In SoD 3.2, Platinum (4.0), and HDmod, this bug does not exist. Perhaps it would be best to specify in the rules which versions can be played?
Added 9 minutes later
>> "My friend," I implore you, reconsider, ban the hat; it doesn't reflect well on either the tournament or the game. And it completely destroys all the intrigue.
Of course, a starting save is needed. I'm very pleased with DmitryAS's interest in your topic on HP. He knows how to surprise :D

I've provided the funds, so go ahead. :)

Good luck to everyone who will be playing, and may you achieve great results.

The first bug is serious; at the beginning of the map, the dark blue tent is already taken.
You probably just didn't notice, because the second dark blue tent is located near Jelu.

Of course, a starting save is needed.
1. It is definitely necessary to specify: which version of "Heroes" to use (SoD 3.0/3.1/3.2/Complete), with or without the HD mod; if so, then, again: which version, with the option to "fix game bugs," etc.
Double casting of magic, I think, should definitely not be allowed: it's still a cheat.
2. All players must start the game from the same, organizer-made, starting save: only then will they be on equal footing!

Shh! Let's play by the rules of heroesportal.
The initial save was modified on 05/09/12; map bugs, or rather, save bugs, were removed, most likely caused by the restart.
