By the way, after the tournament, I'll have a question for VDV regarding whether there will be any "surprises" or not... :) - maybe I'm rushing to judgment, maybe it's just a gimmick, but I'll hold off on it until the end.

If it's not a secret, what prompted you to send the final save so early?

The lack of temptation to optimize the playthrough – I consider that a good thing. I completed it and sent it right away, as I don't have time for optimization.

This temptation is one of the most alluring of all Heroes temptations – it's no joke; sometimes it even prevents you from sleeping soundly. Although, tearing your hair out in frustration because of the impossibility of an improvement that has only now become obvious also doesn't contribute to good health! :)

Actually, the rules state that it is not allowed to revive fallen heroes without any distinction between allies and enemies.

It would be better if they provided more detailed explanations. Otherwise, it's easy to get confused. We're waiting for VDV's final summary. The main thing is for me to remember that the rules for different versions of Heroes are different in tournaments. Because I play all versions, I'm already getting confused. And I often forget to carefully read the lengthy rules before a tournament.

Yes, there are no specific regulations, but the discussion was specifically about reviving fallen heroes from your own faction.

If this issue hadn't been discussed in detail before, and if a decision on how exactly to interpret this rule hadn't already been made, I would agree with your statement. But I can't, because a decision has already been made. I hope it's final.

Otherwise, we have to acknowledge that it has become the norm for us to change the rules during the game... That's not good. :)

Where is the final verdict from VDV? Can we buy them or not? Because I'm already involved in excavations and weekly monster events. Where haven't I messed up yet? :)

I'm already dealing with excavations and monster weeks. Where haven't I stepped yet? :)

All that's left is to play through the month of plague:smile16:

The Month of Plague is only half the problem, but if IronAxe makes it to the Week of Plague, that will be a real "plague." :)

Iron, you'll have just as much trouble with the Monster Week as you do with your excavations ;), if you even need it...
I think we'll find out along the way where else you messed up :)

A month of plague is not the worst thing, but if IronAxe manages to get to a week of plague, that will be a real "plague". :)

But on this map, it's quite possible :) I would have figured out how to survive the month of plague. But here, I was just very happy that I didn't get any monsters during the weeks - "how great," I thought, "no need to bother." But it would have been worth digging for monsters during the week, since it's allowed - oh well :) I'm not looking for easy ways :) I spent three days digging for a hero manually, which is hard to find. Luckily, I managed to get information that I didn't know. Is this in PhysMig? I haven't finished reading it yet :)

It would be nice if it was figured out as you go. I think I'll figure it out after the journey :)

On this map, it's quite possible :) I would have just replayed the "Month of Plague" scenario. But here, I was just very happy that I wasn't getting any monsters on the weeks – "Oh, how good," I thought, "no need to bother." But it would have been worth digging through the weeks of monsters since it's allowed – oh well :) I'm not looking for easy ways :) I spent three days digging up a hero manually, which is hard to find. Luckily, I managed to get some information that I didn't know before. Is this in the FizMig? I haven't finished reading it yet.

It's not in FizMig. I found out about it today from Amber's post. What I didn't know, I didn't know.
