All the dragons, Crag Hack, and the other three pesky creatures were defeated in a single day! Just got lucky. :)
If someone had escaped, I would have probably had to restart the game...

Well, you were certainly faster – my computer, the rascal, hadn't even finished building the boat and trying to ruin the record...:D

I don't understand – how does that work? I launch the game in windowed mode, load from a save, launch the excavator – following the instructions. I make sure the windows don't overlap, enter all the data in the excavator, and start it – what other save do I need to make "before" that?
The save should be made so that you have money (2500) and a free town to hire from... Otherwise, it might be that the town is occupied in the save, and that's what's stopping it... :) And the windows can overlap; it doesn't matter.

It took me two days to deal with the dragons and heroes. Some of them were quite far from their castles, especially Crag. He had two castles under his control. On the first day, I captured all the teleports and took both castles, then I hid my main hero to lure the AI. He even managed to recapture one of the castles.

Can anyone tell me why the developers edited the 4th-level and 3rd-level spells (specifically, the hero-specific spells, like Alamar's) for all heroes except Xiron? Was it a mistake? Or is Inferno not considered as important? P.S. This is the question I wanted to ask.

The save file should be created in such a way that you have money (2500) and a free town to hire from... Otherwise, if the town is occupied in the save file, it might cause the issue... :) And overlapping windows are fine; it doesn't matter.
No, all of this was happening before. He buys ONE hero for me! And places him in the Fortress. And then it starts to lag. But at that moment, of course, the hero in the tavern isn't the one I ordered. :) And the instructions say that the game and the save editor windows shouldn't overlap? Why?

It took me two days to complete the Dragons and Heroes map.
And the fact that Gorgons joined is just a coincidence... But what if it happened during save generation? That would be some interesting map quirks, wouldn't it?

Oh, come on... It would only take an extra couple of days to set up the dungeon and get everything in place. :)

No, it all happens naturally. He buys ONE hero for me! And places him in the Fortress. And then it starts lagging. But at that moment, of course, the hero in the tavern isn't the one I ordered.
Sometimes this happens to me. I manually (with the excavator turned on) give the command to buy, and the system starts working on its own... Sometimes it needs a little help... :) In general, there are a lot of funny things that happen with it, but it has never completely stopped working...

Just got home, didn't have time to read the whole thread. So I just marked in the table those whose save files arrived in my inbox.

I think he cut everything that seemed like an easy advantage to him, without any real strategy... So, he probably just made a mistake.

I just sent the VDV save – I hope there won’t be any problems with receiving it.

Come on... If they just spent an extra couple of days on placing/raising structures in the Dungeon, everything would be fine :)
Are the Arches difficult to break through without Gargons and Wyverns?

Oops... it seems there are only 13 saves so far. Maybe someone else will submit theirs, because that's not enough. Initially, almost 40 people promised to participate, but in the end, almost four times fewer submitted their saves. That's not right...

What I would suggest to tournament organizers for the future is not to bother people with a table of preliminary applications... I think everyone understands why it's not needed... :) Or we can assume that VDV has been absent for too long and his inbox is overflowing... :)

Is it also possible to break through the Gate with Arch Devils without Gorgons and Wyverns ??

Well, someone else would definitely have been found to replace them ;)

I only sent it to VDV - I hope there won't be any issues with receiving it.

Well, I think there shouldn't be any issues. Even if we account for the fact that the save wasn't received for some reason, I think it's no longer that important, since I've already put some things on public display ;)
If anything - this is a "Dragon Fly Hive" as evidence in your favor.
