Posts from The seventh stage of the "Van Kanigem" tournament.

But we still don't know how much time Qwerty spent. I liked your walkthrough because of its unconventional approach :) the fact that the hero, a powerful character, didn't level up on the main path.

P.S. The Knight Castle was taken on day 4. But I had to go around to the Necropolis Castle, which ultimately resulted in a loss of income on day 4 for the castle, as it was 2 steps away. That's what the fountain does! Yes, it's a cool map :)

How are your skills doing?

Terrible. Only 10 and 6 mercury:o
Damned fountain:mad:

You can find the coordinates in the map editor (hover the cursor over a point on the map, and the numbers will darken horizontally and vertically):D

......that's understandable, about the editor. It's a pity. I thought it would be directly from the game.

Damn fountain:mad:

Actually, if you want, you can also capture the right castle on the 3rd day. But capturing both castles on the 3rd day is impossible!

I don't understand what crucial role that fountain plays there :( I know for sure that if you send fast units directly to the right and left of the Fortress and have helpers who, by the end of the first turn, will remove the slow units from them and, at the beginning of the second turn, will pass them on, then you can easily capture two fortresses in four turns. Moreover, in an ideal case, the left one can be captured on the third turn. I managed to do it. But I could only capture the right one on the 4th turn. Therefore, in the final playthrough, I didn't insist and captured both fortresses on the 4th turn simultaneously. But that nasty computer was far away :) I would have drowned it in the fountain for that :)

Where are the results? My hands are already sweating from anticipation. I really want to at least get into the top ten!

Here are screenshots showing how to capture the right Castle on day 3.

But! On day 3, the Castle is captured, but the hero has no movement points left, and therefore, you can't acquire a new hero in the Castle, which is a problem... :)

You're kidding::eek:. What fountain are you talking about? The fountain (near the Orcs) that you had to go through to reach the left Castle. And I went through the top:o. So, an inconspicuous fountain can play a crucial role in completing the map:mad:

As I wrote to Alan BEFORE the end of the tournament, the best result on this map is 4 days with a total of 13 parameters.
And, as is evident from my post, I played differently, and my result is lower.
