No, that's not it... I'm not insisting, anyway. There are many good tournaments... :) Is the goal to hold tournaments on HW just for the sake of having them? That's great.

Is the prize for the winner already prepared? Because I already have plans for it :D

Well, beating Kyle and Alex_R will be no problem! Better not mess with us...:D
There are many of you, but we don't care :D

No, that won't work... I'm not insisting on it anyway.

It could certainly be improved (and should be)..., but it would immediately create confusion...
Someone might not notice that the save file has been replaced, and then things will go wrong...

We need to think about how to do this in the least disruptive way...

I'm afraid I'll hear comments that "there's no need to compare our portal to others!", but nevertheless, I'll say this - based on my personal experience. Starting saves were changed on the League and on HP. This sometimes happens, it is announced in the topic, and there are no problems. All players sometimes log in to see the list of opponents - and there, under this list, you can indicate that the save has been replaced...

But, I absolutely agree with Alex_R - you don't have to change anything, everyone will still be on equal footing... A strong player will still find a way to surprise everyone here... The only question is, what will he say in the description? :) No one will ask him - "how did you do that? Or how did you beat that guy?" There are no such questions here...

"I just spent four weeks with a logistics expert, collecting all the chests along the way and defeating all opponents in auto-battle." You don't even need to save units - there's no Altar anyway! (By the way, the Altar is still a mandatory attribute of a map for experience)... Is saving units in battles not a sign of skill?

That's right... there's no need to turn this into another puzzle from a blitz tournament...

Regarding the blitz, I'll tell you a secret that all maps were tested by players of our portal before publication to identify bugs and possible suggestions for the plot. Some suggestions were implemented by me. And I did this solely out of respect for the players - the map should be attractive... You didn't like the blitz - you've already said that, and I accept your position... But why bring it up again?

A map that puts a good player on the same level as an average player (and how can a strong player apply their knowledge if there is nowhere to do it?) is only convenient for average players... :D

And in general, a complex map is usually interesting... A simple one - rarely...

Dear Tournament Participants,

Attention: the starting save file and maps will be replaced.
To avoid any misunderstandings for those who have already downloaded the assignment: please delete all copies of this save file and maps from your computer.

The new save file will be uploaded tomorrow.

Sincerely.

Quote from the rules:

Also, if a "+5 monsters of X" week or "monster X" month is drawn, the player must replay the week/month and achieve a neutral result. (this point is at the discretion of the tournament organizer)

Question: how will this rule be interpreted in our case?

Monster weeks are prohibited.
I will add it to the rules now.

Thank you.

If suspicion arises, you can request save files from the end of one week and the beginning of the next.

Another question: how can this be checked?

We take the saves from the first day of the week and see where something has increased that doesn't follow the pattern... :) In the worst case, you can always ask the leader... This is quite feasible when the game doesn't last long - as in our case... Of course, if you spend five months on a map (let's remember War of the Worlds), it becomes much more difficult to check these points. But on such maps, there is no ban on a monster for a week - this is not critical when a couple of thousand vampires join you... :) It's a different story when playing for experience or for skeletons - when you can generate a turn transition so that a bunch of neutral centaurs appear all over the map. Go and defeat them, collect skeletons for free, or gain experience... That's why we specify it. I think that's why online players don't like playing offline - there are too many restrictions here for them. But without them, it's impossible... The theory of probability harms offline play, unlike online play, where the random drop of morale can allow you to win the game. This doesn't happen in offline mode. But on the other hand, even if we ignore this rule, but don't buy units that have arrived beyond the limit - there are no problems, you'll agree. The most important thing is not to then grind +5 creature development on experience at the altar... That's where the violation would be... ;)

If suspicions arise, you can ask for save files from the end of one week and the beginning of the next.

No, well, okay, if it's a week of doubled resources, that's still somewhat understandable – it explains the huge number of "those" monsters. But what would you say about +5 units? How can suspicions arise there? Someone might lose them in a battle, and that's it...

The most important thing is not to funnel +5 creatures onto the altar for experience... That's where the imbalance will be... ;)

Well, there's also the problem of a huge amount of creatures appearing on the map, which has a very positive effect on experience gain in the game.

No, Monster Week and Monster Month are different things. Monster Month won't happen, but Monster Week doesn't add a large number of creatures to the map. It only increases the hero's stats, but not the neutral creatures'...

What would you say about +5 units? How can any suspicions arise here? Someone loses them in a battle, and that's it...

What do you want to suggest? Do you have an idea? I'm ready to listen to it.

Then, maybe we should allow it? After all, it's "up to the moderator"... :)
Maybe it's not that bad... In any case, it will increase the variety...
