Posts from I am looking for a team of like-minded people.

Hello everyone.

Recently, an online project for a magazine about old games was launched. If anyone is interested in this topic or wants to join the team of authors, you are welcome.

The first issue has already been released (it describes everything in detail), and you can view it on this blog: https://lastcenturygames.blogspot.com/

An offline tournament for Heroes 3 is also being held.
All the details are in the magazine.

Enjoy reading. Thank you in advance.

P.S. If you like it, or if you don't, be sure to comment and subscribe to the blog.

Dude, are you a spammer or not? It seems like you're posting relevant content, but then there's a single message with a link to who knows where. Just let us know.

You click on the link and see that it's actually a magazine about old games.

Not a spammer)))
This is a link to a blog dedicated to this magazine. On this blog, you need to download the magazine in PDF format in the latest post.

Okay then, everything’s fine. Though, not many Heroes players visit this section; we have our own atmosphere here. It's better to go straight to the Might and Magic III section. I can move this thread there. Siv, I was on my phone during the day, so I don’t want to click through links unnecessarily, especially if it really is spam.

If you wouldn't mind. I would be very grateful)).

We are signing up for the tournament. It will be interesting! See the journal for the conditions!

Regarding the tournament: perhaps it would be worth creating a separate thread on the forum in the appropriate section Heroes 3 Tournament - Tournaments for Heroes 3 - OFFLINE
Before the start of the tournament itself, various important aspects should be discussed and decided upon. And it is better not to do this somewhere behind the scenes, in correspondence via messengers or email, but rather in a prominent place – for example, here. Then everything that needs to be resolved or clarified will be addressed as soon as possible.
Have you ever participated in offline tournaments before? As a player and/or as an organizer? On which resources (sites)?
I would like more specifics, starting with the rules. Are you familiar with the tournament rules of well-known sites: here and on HeroesPortal? Will your tournament use these rules, some of them, or other different ones?
What will be provided to players: a map and a starting save file (checked by the organizer for problematic/unsuccessful/controversial points)? Where will the map come from: a known map from one of the map repositories or a new one created by you specifically for the tournament? What is the size of the map? How complex will it be (what can it be compared to?) What is the win condition (defeat all opponents, capture everything / defeat a specific hero / ...), and what is the criterion for evaluating the result (the smallest number of days passed / the largest sum of skills / the largest amount of gold / ...)?
I am writing this because I might participate myself, but I would like to have a fairly clear idea of the level of difficulty.
And I already have negative experience from one amateur tournament in which I participated several years ago on another site. There, the organizer did not think through some very important aspects, as a result, players played completely different versions of the map, and no one even thought about a starting save file before the start of the tournament. Also, the rules were not clearly defined.
Ah, I've already seen an answer to one question by rereading the tournament announcement in the magazine:

Be sure to include your nickname, under which you will appear in the tournament table, your contact information (your email address) and the race you prefer to play in the first stage in your letter.

That is, there are already different conditions for different players. Too bad. Do you at least imagine how you will compare the results of such playthroughs and determine the winners?

I will definitely create a topic for this. As for the experience in organizing events, it's vast. But mostly on a city-wide scale. Now, regarding the faction. The faction will primarily define the hero. The army will be somewhat different, and there won't be a castle in the traditional sense. Don't worry, everything will be balanced, and the challenge of the tournament lies in your ability to play with your favorite hero. If something doesn't suit you, you have the right to decline. But I advise you to try it. No one has canceled the need for variety. Fortunately, the developers have given us a chance for a huge "flight of imagination," and we can create absolutely equal conditions for everyone.

"City-scale" is a vague concept. What kind of city, with what population? Tournaments in "Heroes" or, say, in "KosinKa"? In general, it doesn't matter what city. Online tournaments are almost always on a larger scale, and the level of thoughtfulness and organization is correspondingly higher. Absolutely identical conditions for everyone – this is when everyone plays from the same starting save. Or do you need me to explain in detail how the hero's specialty affects the game? To a tournament organizer with decades of experience? In fact, anyone can run their own tournament with their own rules for everyone who wants to participate. But not everyone will want to participate in it. Ah, here's another question: where can I read about your previous tournaments? Because so far, all I've seen is a lot of fluff and no specifics.

Okay, you can read all the details in the thread in the evening, and then we can discuss it and ask questions, alright?)) But I'm adding you to the list right away!
