Looks like you’re going to be better than me – I’ve run out of time and I’m currently not succeeding.

I'm certainly not a top-tier strategist (as it turns out), but it seems to me that for the tournament stage, a map should be chosen that allows a reasonably skilled player to create several different strategies within a reasonable timeframe, say, 20-30 hours of real time, using all possible tricks within the allowed limits... Either I'm missing something fundamental, or this map is a typical power-focused scenario that requires significant effort to optimize.

The map isn't straightforward, where everything is obvious and the winner is determined based on probability theory... On this map, many aspects depend solely on the player's skill and knowledge of the game itself. That's what makes it interesting.

Yeah, there's no trace of banality here... :)
I think not everyone will be able to "figure it out" :), but the key moments, as AmberSoler rightly pointed out, are certainly present... therefore, intrigue is bound to be present not only in the competition but also in the map itself, developed by the author...

I wanted to wish those who are still trying to improve their results to aim for a place closer to the stars... :)!
I sent the save file; please confirm receipt.

Ah, you have no idea what will be in Beste2.:D
Well, if "no surprises" was promised here, then it seems that Beste2 can't do without them, am I right? And I think the organizers already have candidates (maps) in mind; all that's left is to choose and confuse everyone with their editing...;)
VDV, is Sheogorath on the list? After all, it's either "it remains..." or "why not"...?

It seems that Ley's wish was not in vain, as it slightly improved it.
And if I suggest taking first place, will you do it? :)

This is already history and doesn't have much significance.

Well, why not? New participants probably want to see who did what in Besto1 before Besto2, so they know their opponents. Although, you can figure that out by looking at the official tournaments throughout the year.
By the way, have you even made one final save for the current tournament? It seems like there will be no more than ten or twelve saves in total... It's a waste to set such long deadlines for the tournament if everyone plays on the last day; it could probably be done in two weeks... :)
A month is too long; the intrigue and interest fade because nothing happens, and there's no one to compete with live... :D

by the way, is there a way to cast spells for the mages?

I created a terrible power run, and I'm sad... I probably won't have time to replay it from scratch, even though now, in general, the picture is more or less clear - it's approximately 1.5 to 2 times faster to complete. But at least there's some result. So, I'm not aiming for a top-ten finish. Unless everyone else also gets their act together at the end and can't show a strong game.
Yes, and one more thing - I REALLY missed something... this something changes everything, it seems.
