Posts from The 8th stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Tournament (2007).

Please add me to the list of participants.
Question for the organizers:
My last turn in the game is completed not by the main hero, but by a secondary one. According to the rules, only one hero should remain in the final. What should I do - dismiss the main hero and lose the secondary criterion, or can I leave two?

By the way, people ... doesn't the word shodow hurt your eyes — maybe it should be shadow, if I understood the map's plot correctly :confused:

Windows Vienna, so what even if it's a pirated copy. The question was different: does anyone have it? And I would call it a pirated edition of WOG, and aren't you from the CIS or something?
I'm playing on HERO 3.75

Since the conversation has turned to "it's an eyesore," the above inscription has two errors. It should have been "Me and My Shadow"
It's Alexey's creation, and it's only his business how to write it, but according to the rules, it should be written as highlighted in bold

Since the topic of "what catches the eye" came up, the above inscription contains two errors. It should correctly be "Me and My Shadow"

I was talking about creating the Knight of Apocalypse Clan /topic/2991/:smile45:. Nimizida sent an application a long time ago, but there is no Creator yet...

And respected VDV_forever, doesn't anyone have Heroes v3.75?
He could send a couple of cool maps.

In my opinion, everyone will have the same problem :( Or only if someone manages to make the computer-controlled players sit in their castle in a group :)

I don't want to show a mediocre result, so I'm removing myself from the list of participants. :o
I hope you understand.

Hello everyone!
I want to apologize to all participants in the tournament. I won't be able to participate in it because I didn't really get any vacation time; it was just work, work, and more work. Now I'm expanding my living space... :) I don't want to show a mediocre result, so I'm removing myself from the list of participants. :o I hope you understand.

So after all, what about heroes... in many other stages - can we keep all of them, or is that "calling card" of VDV?

P.S. By the way, people... doesn't the word shodow hurt your eyes - maybe it's actually shadow, if I understood the map's story correctly :confused:

Simply wonderful! ;)
And playing for quorum is no longer acceptable, right? It's like saying, "...dear organizers, if I don't take first place, please don't include my result in the ranking table..." :D

What about having two heroes in the final save? I suggest allowing players to keep their main hero along with the one who makes the last move. Otherwise, a paradox arises – a veiled rule emerges that the main hero must make the last move in the game, which is not logical from the perspective of speedrunning.

:) Living space is certainly a primary concern, I agree. But even an average result in a tournament can bring in 50 points to your rating. So, you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. You won't have time to send the save file anyway ;)

I've already played through the second one, completing the map on the first day.

:) I generally agree. But where were you when I raised the same question with VDV earlier? Back then, VDV argued that it was a feature of his tournaments. In other words, you have to calculate your actions with your main hero very cleverly so that he makes the last move. If you see a faster option involving sacrificing a unit, then you have to sacrifice your main hero. If some players have an equal number of days, the competitive aspect still remains in the sum of the skills of the supporting hero and the amount of mana. In my opinion, we won't convince VDV to cancel this feature, but in principle, it doesn't give any of the players additional advantages - and since everyone is in equal conditions regarding this, we can leave it as it is, although I wouldn't be against allowing at least two heroes to be left until the end of the game :)
