Kamikaze, you're a monster! Respect! :smile54:

I didn't even think about trying to assemble the Haven.

Well, I managed to pull it off! But this is my first tournament, and if something went wrong, I'll try again. In general, I started by diligently building up my army, explored the entire map, captured the upper Rampart and Necropolis on the other side, and then descended through the Dungeon to the city. I figured out the portal later. Honestly, I didn't think that this map required some trickery; I guess I'm used to regular scenarios. But it's okay; there will be more tournaments ahead! :)
Wow, I'm not even in last place.

Do you mean the move with the Thieves and getting the "Summon Ship" spell?

SandroXXL, I also thought the same at first... and I was also at the bottom of the table... but gradually, things will get better... here, I realized one thing - you need to get what they ask you for as quickly as possible...
and Kamikaze is awesome... only 16 days, and with the Haven faction...

I would wait for the walkthrough description first...
I sent the description to Ataman, so if anything, he can post it.

When gathering an "alliance," there's a bonus of 4000 dragons for the final battle.
However, in alternative playthroughs, it seems there are no such rewards. Perhaps someone could share a scenario for a battle against an opponent with parameters around 50? With a cool Necropolis artifact and a decent army? Were there any such skilled players? Or did everyone just skip it and capture the empty castle?

...or did everyone just rush past and capture the empty Castle?
Exactly. There's no need to fight the opponent – the goal is to win the scenario, where the victory condition is capturing a Castle...

As it turns out, you can capture it on the tenth day, although capturing a Castle is a technical matter. The task of the map was to reach the Castle as quickly as possible, having an army large enough to clear the obstacles in the way... The tactic is very simple. The shortest route is over water. Personally, I managed to land on the enemy's shore at the end of the ninth day – and I was only two steps away from capturing the empty Castle on the following tenth day... I tried everything, but it didn't work out. :(
I had to take two days to slowly approach, so that the dumb AI would make a gift and leave the Castle...

That's why it's interesting to see the description of the playthrough of the top five players – they have very similar results...

They came up with a practice of passing the description to the discretion of the host... :) He only needs it to credit your save and that's it. And for those who want to see your result, you can post the description yourself right here...

if you have gloves and army units with a speed equal to or greater than that of the snipers, and you enter the oasis and fountain twice, you can reach the destination without any problems.

On the fifteenth day, I hired an Archangel (to get the Helmet) and 8 Imps (to run around the swamp). And as usual, I carefully beat up the companions.
I didn't even think about the water :confused: I've always played without water.

And I rushed again:smile32:
I struggled with gathering the alliance for 33 days, sent the save file, and then completed it in 20 days by crossing the water, settled down, and didn't bother improving it further:rolleyes:
Never mind, the 6th stage of the World Cup should turn out better:smile10:

I didn't have gloves because it would have taken the same two days to get them – not counting the battle for them... I didn't see the point in that, although I understood that with gloves I would reach the Castle... I also had the idea to trick the AI – that jerk saw that I was one day away and headed for the Castle. The idea was to find a location on the map from which, due to the terrain penalty, it would be impossible to reach the Castle, and the AI would also see this and not be afraid... And then, when it was my turn, I would swap units (smuggle in neutral units) and avoid the penalty – as a result, the AI just watches as I run into the Castle and can't do anything about it...

But the problem is that I have an expert pathfinder, and I don't understand why someone put it there as an event... :) So, tricks and cunning didn't help at all... And in the test version, an expert in logistics with a unit that has a speed of 11 (or higher) doesn't reach the AI's Castle after landing under any circumstances... Even with the speed boost...

Where are the leaders? Share the description with everyone! :)

What's funny is that in every tournament, there are a couple of players who say exactly these words after it's over... And why rush? :)

I rushed, well, not really rushed, but I sent the save file a long time ago – I don’t consider it rushing or anything like that, because I was really getting tired of this map. It was getting on my nerves. :)

Day 1: Collected two piles of gold, hired and upgraded archers, went to the oasis, defeated ghosts, recruited and upgraded elves, went back to the oasis, defeated zombies. Day 2: Hired more archers and headed towards the thieves' lair. Day 3: Defeated the thieves and received the Amulet of Mana. Took the amulet to the seer's hut and received a scroll to summon a ship. Day 4: Rushed to the sea, summoned the ship, and boarded it. Day 5: Collected two piles of wreckage and sailed to the shipyard. In the castle, bought Roland and headed towards the top of the map for ore. Also bought Aine and collected all the resources near the castle. Day 6: Gelu disembarked at the shipyard, Roland entered the Fountain of Youth, and continued towards the top of the map. Bought Yenova in the castle. Day 7: Gelu entered the tent and headed towards the +1 magic power shrine. Roland collected a pile of gold and ore. In the castle, built the Mage Guild and moved Aine to a distance of one hex from the castle. Day 8: Hired all available archers in the castle and transferred them to Yenova. Aine then passed the archers on to Gelu. Gelu upgraded the newly acquired archers, entered the +1 magic power shrine, then the well and the medusa lair, and moved a short distance away from the medusa lair. Roland collected all the unguarded resources. (And it should be clear that Gelu received magic from Aine because she has literacy.) Day 9: Bought Aine one skirmisher and transferred him to Gelu before the desert. Gelu went to fight the skirmishers, won, and boarded the ship. Roland and Yenova now only collect unguarded resources, while Aine goes for the gloves and shield. Day 10: Aine collected the gloves and shield and transferred them to Gelu. All heroes except Gelu are now focused solely on collecting resources. Gelu, thanks to expert navigation, reached the bottom of the map in one turn, received expert logistics and pathfinding, and disembarked (dismissing the skirmisher). Day 11: Gelu entered the oasis and the fountain, defeated the trolls, and went back to the fountain and oasis. Then, rushed to the castle, easily defeating elementals along the way. For the final battle with the dragons, I saved 5 mana. The battle with the dragons was difficult, but slowing them down helped, and I reached the castle almost without any guards and captured it. (Of course, before that, I built a market in the castle and exchanged all the collected resources for money.) That's it. I wrote it as best as I could.

You wrote it well... :) Personally, I understand where I messed up - I didn't realize that you could easily pick up the tree on the water... :) I sent Jelu down the map to get a tree for the tavern, and you, in that time, hired a boat and brought it south - at the same time, you also got the gloves, which is a +2 day advantage at the finish! :) Bravo!

I wonder what others will show. It couldn't be that everyone had the same walkthrough... :D

I won't send the save for the sixth stage before 2 days before the end, although I'm already satisfied with the result:smile02:
