TOURNAMENT OF THE FOUR LAKES
I invite you to participate in an unofficial Heroes 4 tournament. The Tournament of the Four Lakes will be held on the Heroes 4: Times of War version. To participate in the tournament, you must be a registered user.
Participation procedure:
1) Submit your application in this thread. I will be online on the forum on the following days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Saturday, Sunday. If your application remains unanswered for some time, don't worry, I will come and register you.
2) Download the save and the map, figure out all the tricks, complete it, and create a final save. The final save should contain a single action, the completion of which results in the player's victory. Send the save to sandroxxl@mail.ru. The save should also have the following format:
PARTICIPANT NUMBER_PARTICIPANT NICKNAME_XXL :)
For example: 01_ SandroXXL_XXL
If you include a brief description of the final battle and/or the strategy used (in just a few words) in the archive with the final save, it will be greatly appreciated.
3) Tournament dates. Since the tournament is amateur and serves as a kind of training before the Forum Tournament, its dates will be: from September 8, 2007, to September 25, 2007 (until 23:00 Moscow time). The results will be published on September 30.
Tournament rules:
1) The game is played on the Heroes 4: Times of War version.
2) The use of cheat codes and third-party programs is prohibited (but I still hope for your integrity). ;)
3) Restarting or editing the starting save is prohibited.
4) Using exploits on the battlefield is prohibited (see point #2).
The main goal of the map: to defeat all players. The main criterion for victory: the number of days spent on combat operations (i.e., the fewer, the better). The secondary criterion: the total amount of HP of all heroes controlled by the player.
I think that's all. Ask if anything is unclear, and good luck to all!
Yes, I forgot to mention. At the beginning, you must choose a companion - a female mage (a level 5 hero). You can choose from: priest, mage, druid, and sorceress. The choice you make will slightly affect the gameplay.
Dear tournament participants! The deadline will be extended by one week, i.e., the tournament will end on October 2 at 23:00, and the results will be published on October 6. I hope this time is enough for you, and I wish everyone good luck!

In short, I don't care if it's official or not. What matters is that there's a rating, and everything else is secondary. Whatever you want to call it.

Well, that's it... No big deal... There will be a rating. Why aren't you participating yourself? :)
Maybe you'll create a "top" map... ;)

I sent the save file. Well, actually, the save files. For immediate testing.
I played once (as always), didn't spend much time thinking about my moves, and didn't replay battles or anything repeatedly.
P.S. I don't really enjoy offline tournaments, but I decided to support the development of tournaments for Heroes 4.



Added after 1 hour 24 minutes
It took a long time, but I got a decent score. I managed to reach the Bogomol.

Whew... I finally finished the map today:smile03: I won't upload the save yet, just in case I decide to replay it and try to get a better result))) I actually liked the map, and I only played it for 3 hours... So, I'll see if I can improve it. I know where I lost time... So, the other participants, hurry up, there isn't much time left)):smile12:
Sandro, thank you for the map and for the tournament:smile54: It was a good warm-up before the 9th Van Kaningham:smile43:
Best regards, Luchik!

I've sent the save. I've registered here. :) I probably could have played better, but I didn't manage to.

Too bad, I might not make it:( I'm incredibly swamped with real-life stuff:(
:) And a reputation point deduction for that :) Did someone in the thread about rankings mention something about people signing up and not showing up? :) Well, just kidding. At least try to put together some kind of result to meet the quorum.

Oh, come on, he'll definitely send it...:)
I'm not even worried... Optimal, am I right?

P.S. I just want the quorum to be reached too, even though I'm not participating myself.
So, go ahead and "make some noise"! :D

Well, if you can manage to submit the final save within this timeframe: "the tournament ends on October 2nd at 23:00, and the results will be published on October 6th" - you are welcome to do so!

Good luck!

Best regards, Ley.

Well, if I submitted an application and didn't show up on the FORUM at all, then -100 for sure :)
I'll just try to complete the map. Slowly, play a regular standard game against the computer :)

General ZeT, you are registered for the tournament. I advise you to hurry and not postpone it, as there is very little time left. And good luck to you in your first tournament.

Dear SandroXXL, I have completed the map. There is nothing difficult about it. In the middle of the game, I remembered that I forgot to specify the difficulty level. I have it set to "normal":) if you need a different level, let me know, and I will play it again.

At the bottom of SandroXXL's first post, there are two links:
Tournament_Conquest of Four lakes.zip this is the map itself, and
Tournament_Start.zip this is the file that needs to be installed in the games folder of your Heroes 4 game.
1 This is done so that all participants start with absolutely identical basic data (like the artifacts that appear on the map).
2 You need to make saves at the end of each turn (so that in a controversial situation, you can check the fairness of the game and how you completed that turn).
3 You cannot restart the first turn; you can only load the first turn from the save that you put in the games folder.
P.S. The difficulty level is set automatically; it is not configured in this tournament; it is the PLAYER
