Posts from “Best map for Heroes of Might and Magic III” (2007).

Let me share my opinion:
The contest is held for versions of the game and higher... and since WOG is an older version, such maps are not accepted.

After reading this entire ode to the Editors, I have a question:

What exactly was wrong with WOG? Perhaps it was the more extensive editor, which allows you to create your own objects. I would like to hear the "official" version.
Are there any alternatives to the native Heroes editors? Something that can transfer a map from WOG to SOD. :smile16:

Essentially: maps are not accepted on VOG, because a tournament will be held for the winner on the map! And on our portal, Tournaments are held on SoD.

The latest version of my contest map Heroes World with a description.

Something doesn't quite add up... hmm.

In post #30, you, esteemed VDV_forever, said the opposite.
To the question:

You gave the answer:


P.S. I think that contestants should be allowed to submit multiple maps. And the more maps a contestant submits, the higher their chances of winning.

Your description deserves praise. Your description can be used as an example for other participants in the competition.

This can be fixed by converting the map from WOG to SoD using the Maptool program, which esteemed Ataman shared. Many thanks to him for this.
The program can be found here.

:o What was meant in the video was that the judge can review several maps from one participant, but only one, the best one, can be submitted to the contest!

P.S. And if 1 participant sends 100 maps? Believe me, Best of the Best 2 won't start for another 2 years, not sooner :).

Each participant chooses the best map and submits it to the contest!
You can and even should consult with the judges and forum members! ;)

Today, a map was sent by Maximula, and I congratulate him on that!

Replaced (I hope there will be no continuation of the discussion;)).

P.S.S. Next year, we may introduce a clause in the rules:
no more than 2 maps (3 maps) can be submitted to the map contest.

Today, Maximula sent a map, and I congratulate him on that!

P.S. Descriptions of maps are welcome, just like Ganymed did!
Firstly, this will allow for a faster, more objective, and reasonable assessment of the map,
secondly, it will raise fewer questions during the evaluation,
thirdly, it will show that the map was indeed carefully made and that it was tested repeatedly,
and finally, fourthly, it is always pleasant to work with a complete set, as they say!

I didn't quite understand the meaning of these words. I need clarification. As I understand it, a participant can submit several maps to the contest. But I still don't understand the concept of "submitting a map to the contest."

If it's not too much trouble, when updating the map table, please add the update date (for example, insert the update date before the map name). This will help avoid various errors when downloading.

Of course, we'll discuss this.

It would still be worth clarifying this point in the contest description itself.
So that there are fewer questions from the contestants later.

2 VDV:
Here's the question: in this thread, you write that the larger the map, the more points will be awarded for it + the Dungeon will also be evaluated additionally; so, don't you think that for the "best of the best" tournament - XL, for example (and if it also has a Dungeon...), it's too much? In my opinion, such tournaments are held on SMALL maps, and therefore they should be evaluated according to this criterion. I would like to know your opinion.

Sincerely.

By the way, I would like the judges to communicate on the forum about any problems that arise with a particular map. This will help the authors understand the shortcomings they may have missed and possibly fix them.

Last time, the map was size L (and included a Dungeon, if I remember correctly), and yet the participation rate was quite good. Best of the Best is a tournament unlike any other, because: 1) it lasts for months (1.5 months) 2) it takes place once a year on the best map on www.heroesworld.ru 3) as a rule, the map is played no more than 2 times (because it is large), which always leads to different results, and therefore different tactics and strategies. 4) the tournament is always challenging 5) it contains surprises :D 6) there are prizes 7) it brings variety and novelty to already established tournaments Sincerely, VDV_forever

The question is: what does "contains surprises" mean? You're really intriguing me! :)

It’s elementary – a legion of dendroids can be defeated with a single butterfly to clear the spawn point. :D And on the other side of the spawn point, there’s also a way out. And there’s a legion of dendroids there too – you can take them out with one sniper. What’s not a surprise? There are battles for every taste!

P.s. I wonder who is stronger, the butterfly or the sniper? The butterfly seems to be stronger... :D
