Hello everyone! I really wanted to participate in the tournament, but I think it's already too late. Could you please tell me if you are planning to hold another tournament? I really want to play and see how I measure up; I've been playing Heroes since I was a kid.
She was divinity`s creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A queen of snow...
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned so symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark-liquored eyes
An Arabian nightmare...

Well, first of all, you can agree with someone and play a match; you don't necessarily have to wait for a tournament.
But if you really want to play in a tournament, there will be another one soon, an official tournament for Heroes 4.

Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!

As soon as this Tournament ends, OptiMAL will organize and host an autumn Tournament. Feel free to check it out:smile02:. It would be great to see new participants. :smile01:

P.S. If you have an ICQ or something similar, please add it to your profile or write it here. We can play and practice together outside of the Tournament. :smile20:

Best regards, LeSHiJ-MaX.

In Heroes of Might and Magic IV, there are more chances to win against a human player)) almost everyone is on equal footing (except for a few who might pose a challenge)).
In Heroes of Might and Magic III, it's much more difficult (trust me, I participated in a tournament), especially against masters (and we have many of them on our forum), and the race also plays a significant role. Some races can be considered "cheesy" if you choose the right hero and develop them correctly. Although this can also happen in Heroes of Might and Magic IV, but less often.

Be strong. Believe

I would like to play, even outside of tournaments. Write to me on ICQ, and we can arrange something.

Game Report: Arandor (Life, blue) vs. Zubr (Order, red)
Arandor won
Map: Showdown
Equilibrium version.
The game ended on day 4, week 3, month 3.

Arandor primary hero: Winifred (priest), hired Oissin (knight).
At the end of the game:
Winifred, Paladin, level 20, Grand Master of Life Magic and related skills, and Warfare 3.
Oissin, General, level 20, Grand Master of Tactics and related skills, Warfare, Archery, Nature Magic 1, Magic Resistance 2.
Army: 336 crossbowmen, 128 pikemen, 93 swordsmen, 13 angels, 22 ogre shamans, and two heroes.

Zubr
Menesli, Battle Mage, level 23. Grand Master of Order Magic (and other skills from this school, except Enchantment), Grand Master of Warfare (Archery, basic Magic Resistance), Nobility, Life Magic, Chaos Magic 2, other skills from these schools 1.
Halli, Lord, level 5, Warfare 3 and Nobility 2. Intended to remove blessings from my army.
There was another hero, Paulus, Cardinal, level 10, but I won't write about him because he wasn't in the battle =)).
Army: 535 hobbits, 420 dwarves, 176 mages, 76 djinns, 9 dragon golems, and two heroes.

I won't write about the development and tactics on the map... no need to reveal my secrets))))

The battle was interesting (as was the game itself). It involved both swords and magic)) and took place in the desert)).

I attacked because I had infantry)). The army moves slowly across the sand, and even slower with a slowdown spell. Luckily, the spell only lasts for one turn)). At the beginning, my own Angels killed my mage (not without Zubr's help, who used his hero to remove all blessings, including the resurrection stone)), but the Angels themselves corrected their mistake and resurrected Winifred. When the Angels attacked her a second time, she survived because there was one fewer Angel after the fight with the swordsmen, who managed to crush both enemies and half of their own troops during the battle, in particular the pikemen (they fell quickly, but the dwarves helped), and the ogres (they were resilient, only 4 remained, then they blocked the archers)). In general, the swordsmen reached the enemy (with a slowdown and after almost killing all the pikemen and ogres), the Angels (flew in)), the ogres (but they didn't live long after that), the crossbowmen, and the warrior hero finished them off, while the pikemen were the least lucky; they remained lying in the sand, in the very center of the battlefield)). (although half of the army was resurrected after the battle) haha.
After that, the swordsmen did their job, but against the enemy, the Angels killed the main enemy hero, and the battle was over.
Of the spells, only Sanctuary, Mass Order Blessing, General Blessing, Healing, and Protector were good and useful.
Zubr didn't get everything he wanted either)).

Thank you, Zubr, for an interesting and fun game. :smile20:

The tournament continues!

2 Arandor
if it's not a secret,
on whom did you cast the Haven blessing and Sanctuary spell?

and how many squires did you have before you decided to replace them with ogre mages?

(by the way, does anyone know if an enemy unit under hypnosis takes 2 times less damage when attacking a unit with the Haven blessing?)

it's a pity that you didn't talk about development on the map.

sorry, I forgot to mention that the Amulet of Order was a mass-produced item (I've corrected it). And the Sanctuary affects everyone.
I took Ogres because the Squires died. The last hundred were accidentally lost when I removed them from the main army and they were attacked by neutrals. And I decided not to take the hundred that I had accumulated in the castle; instead, I took Ogres, as they are more useful.

It would take a long time to describe the map development, and it wasn't much different from all my other map developments... I think. =)

(by the way, does anyone know if a creature under hypnosis deals half damage when attacking a unit with the "Order" artifact?)

Yes. And the illusions of your creatures also deal half damage.

:) Well, if you found a mass-produced amulet of Haven and a Sanctuary... then yes, you got lucky.

And how many towns were there?

I haven't come across such things lately...

To all participants of the Summer Tournament::smile02:
I received a fair comment that our tournament has dragged on a bit:smile01:.
So, let's get together. I'm giving a week (from September 16th to September 22nd inclusive) to finish the games in the blue group, and we'll quickly move on to the final games. If the esteemed Pandora, for any reason, cannot continue this tournament, please let me know, and we will immediately proceed to the final battles.
Starhan and Drakkoshka, you have time to finish your game. (The results will be recorded in the OptiMAL ranking)
Finishing what you started is always difficult, but that's what makes us Heroes.:smile14:

Sincerely, LeSHiJ-MaX

I think everyone was just waiting for the weekend. And the tournament should be renamed to "autumn-summer" because it will end in the fall after all (hopefully not in the winter :smile01:).

Well, let's give some leeway considering that many participants have poor internet connections – that's one thing. And the time zones don't match – that's another. They have to find time in small increments. But people are trying. So, let's not make things stricter...
Besides, this tournament is for fun.
It has already gone past the Summer timeframe, but that's understandable, it's September now. And it's my fault that it started late – I waited too long with the theme.:smile39: ...And now school has started, and it's hard for people to balance their time. So, let's agree that everyone will finish as soon as they can, but without delaying too much. Let's not impose strict deadlines. Let's just play and enjoy it!!:smile23:

Your suggestion is accepted:smile43:
Dear players, play at your own pace. It's not good if the time limit affects the quality of the game and the enjoyment of it:smile23: .
Since the rules don't specify any time limits for the tournament or its end date, I won't insist on a quick completion.

Perhaps the Autumn tournament, organized by OptiMAL, will run in parallel.

No, definitely not.
I'm not in a hurry... Maybe my tournament will even be a winter one:rolleyes:
