Awesome! Thank you very much)
Regarding the map and the interest – it's interesting to see how experienced players think. It's the same as in chess, where they analyze strong games in detail, rather than just watching them.
It's been a while since there were tournaments – it's enough to find and view the save files of the winners, and that's it.
Experienced players won't waste time on a random map, which takes a lot of time and has many things that are not well thought out.

Pomazok1329, if the map were bad, I don't think it would have become so widely discussed. However, such a fast completion requires very precise gameplay in several moments.

So widely discussed? And who is discussing it, besides solmir2003 (who remembered it) and you? Not to mention the posts in the 2012 thread)
P.S. I would have passed by, but I'm waiting for your playthrough of the Chinese maps, with Dendy and Nasos as a team, that's always great.

That's what I mean in general. I might be wrong, but it always seemed to me that "First Blood" was the most discussed map in the Russian-speaking segment after "Paragon".

To be honest, I can't understand this hype around Paragon. I don't understand what's so good about it. :confused:

I haven't played it myself yet (waiting for version 3.0), but here's an example: an opinion about it. If you try to summarize briefly, then what makes it good is the well-developed storyline of the map (especially the fact that the text is in Russian :)) and the fact that it isn't too difficult to complete.

I agree, the plot is what matters. Rinsu should definitely write fanfiction on the Perumov theme. Or even better, he could contribute to Nick's project, where aspiring authors write stories based on the Ordered World. There are some pretty good works that come out of it.

Guys, the new year is just around the corner!
Why argue? I asked a noob question, and a person, in the best traditions of a truly friendly Heroes community, took the time to answer it.
He deserves a hundred plus points in his karma for that.

And by the way, back in my day, there were times when stern people called moderators would give warnings for off-topic posts on forums. Let's honor the memory of those times and discuss Paragon in other threads?

The map, "Feast Blood 2.4," could have been named "Against the Wind, into a Hurricane" or "Nipple System." I want to ask a reasonable question that concerns MANY: how do you defeat the Ice Golems on day 9? Is there a replay available, or a strategy guide?

I’m afraid that videos of the battles haven’t been uploaded anywhere yet (at least, I haven’t seen them, but I didn’t specifically look for them). There is a discussion on HeroesPortal about a tournament held on the map, and the winners (Xeniya Sobchak and Antoshka, who worked on it together) completed it in 24 days. You can read about the actual playthrough starting from the middle of page 5, with the message from iceTITaN dated June 26, 2012, 03:57.

Actually, it's the eighth day, not the ninth.

Here, Antoshka describes the tactic >>> (the seventh post from the top). If you find a save before the battle, I'll try to demonstrate it in a video.

As far as I remember, this battle is the most difficult one in the entire walkthrough.

By the way, I just found a recording of video replays of the entire playthrough – unfortunately, you can’t see the battles that way. Here. The quality is terrible by today’s standards (although the original was in good quality). I couldn’t find anything else on YouTube related to this map, using searches in Russian or English.
There is also a discussion on Maps4Heroes with some useful information (follow the link “Your opinions”).
If anyone has anything useful about it, including links to other people’s materials, please share it; thank you in advance.

Since the debate about whether it's possible to kill ice elementals in the early weeks of the game continues, I'm posting two videos here. The first is from my playthrough of a map in version 2.5 (the strategy is completely safe, although in an unfavorable scenario, you might lose one archer); the second is from the same 2.4 playthrough, completed in 24 days (it's possible with a difficult random distribution of djinn casts and fanatic morale; I played a bit sloppily because I didn't want to spend too long trying to get a perfect result, but the method is clear from the video :D).

It's surprising that Mass Curse isn't used in either video – it counters almost all elementals. Specifically, against Ice Elementals, the damage is 3-7, with an average of 5, but with Mass Curse, it's 2. So, reducing the damage by 2.5 times is better than an air shield. Or is fire banned on the map?
