I also want to sign up for the tournament!
I installed and patched the game, and I'm studying the rules and FAQ since I'm a tournament debutant. Well, beginners are lucky! I wish everyone, and especially myself, good luck! :smile13:

Question for the organizers: What should be done if the weekly (population) is snakes? You know what the advantage is... Sincerely, Ley. P.S. This isn't a discussion... :)

Send the save file from day 7 to the tournament organizers in a private message and wait for a response.

P.S. I am also waiting for a response (but regarding a different question).

And one more question regarding a situation that may arise:
if we are in the last turn of the game, after which the victory occurs,
we kill the enemy hero with an artifact that gives a bonus to primary skills,
and this artifact is equipped on our hero (not in the backpack),
will this artifact be taken into account in the hero's parameters in the results table?

Added after 2 minutes
A similar question, in case the hero levels up...
Клан Homo homini

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth...

What to do if you have a week (population) of snakes? You know how beneficial that is...
Just leave the free growth in the castle, and that's it... It's not that hard... :)

The trick is that they will have 3 levels of attachment...;) - won't this be considered a violation?

Well, I think it's simple: of course, it will be taken into account; but what if, after the last battle, you take artifacts from the computer, BUT THEY ARE NOT EQUIPPED, because the slot for that artifact is already occupied, but otherwise, there would be a bonus to primary skills, what then?

to all:

The main rules of the tournament for stage 8 are posted in the first post of this thread. However, not all prohibitions and bugs that cannot be used during a Walkthrough are listed there. Here is a link to the FAQ+rules topic /topic/at/92751/.
In this case, if there is a discrepancy (contradiction) between some points of the main rules within the framework of this tournament and the points in the FAQ+rules topic, the main rules of this tournament should be taken as the basis!

Question: Is it possible to buy a defeated enemy hero in this tournament?

No, it is not allowed! A deceased hero cannot be resurrected :smile01: !

Question: What should you do if snakes appear for a week (population)? You know what advantage that gives...

Use it at your discretion, i.e., you can use this tactic.

Question: If we are in the last turn of the game, after which victory occurs,
we kill an enemy hero with an artifact that provides + to primary skills,
and this artifact is equipped on our hero (not put in the backpack),
will this artifact be taken into account in the hero's parameters in the results table?

in this situation, the artifact worn by the hero after the end of the battle will DEFINITELY be taken into account when calculating skills!

Question: Is it possible to purchase a defeated enemy hero in this tournament?
No, it is not! A defeated hero cannot be resurrected:smile01:!
I suggest we stop discussing this rule point – it seems to have been settled once and for all. You can resurrect an enemy hero on the day of their death and any day thereafter. What's the point of trying to capture and destroy the opponent if that's the case? This is not prohibited anywhere – neither in the tournament rules nor in the FAQ.

The phrase in the tournament rules: "it is also forbidden to purchase heroes who died in battle (do not confuse with those who fled)!" applies only to your own heroes, but not to the opponent's heroes... This is exactly how it is stated in the FAQ in relation to your own heroes – otherwise, I, for example, could not interpret this point. This is the "default" condition. If the rules of the current tournament require prohibiting the resurrection of an enemy hero (which is quite reasonable, as it is left to the discretion of the organizer), then the prohibition must be explicitly stated – "Resurrecting defeated (or fled) enemy heroes is prohibited".

Formally, there was no prohibition at the start of the tournament.

I suggest we don't revisit the discussion of this rule – it seems to have been decided once and for all: you can resurrect a fallen enemy hero on the day of their death and any day thereafter. What's the point of trying to catch and destroy the opponent then? This isn't prohibited anywhere – neither in the tournament rules nor in the FAQ.

The phrase in the tournament rules: "it is also forbidden to buy fallen heroes (not to be confused with those who fled)!" applies only to your own heroes, but not to the opponent's heroes... This is exactly how it is worded in the FAQ in relation to your own heroes – otherwise, I, for example, couldn't interpret this rule. This is the default condition. If the rules of the current tournament require prohibiting the resurrection of an opponent's hero (which is quite reasonable, as it is left to the discretion of the organizer), then the prohibition must be explicitly stated: "Resurrecting destroyed (or fled) opponent heroes is prohibited".

Formally, there was no prohibition at the start of the tournament.

After VDV's response, I was also plagued by vague doubts, but I attributed it to my long absence – I thought the guys had changed something. It turns out there is a catch.
If it's not a secret, what caused the early submission of the final save?

Yeah, the fact that it doesn't apply to campaign heroes is a useful feature... Good thing you noticed it in time...

AmberSoler, I completely agree with your opinion (and not just yours) on this matter! I remember perfectly well that all of this has already been discussed. Regarding the issue Well, do I (and now maybe not only I) still have hope that VDV_forever will also remember the discussion and change his decision? ;) And I can continue playing through the tournament...

:) Damn, and VDV said there wouldn't be any surprises :) In this save, the heroes have magic that isn't the default, and it wasn't announced. Also, the fact that you can't buy heroes who have been killed – I haven't gotten to that yet :) So, is it allowed or not? VDV, what do you say in light of AmberSolera's post? I've already messed up a bit with the population week – I somehow thought it was forbidden here, although there wasn't an explicit prohibition :) I don't have time to replay – I feel like I'm going down like a lead balloon. The heroes I need aren't showing up :) Complete failure :) Maybe I can somehow manage to finish the playthrough? :)
