I don't understand how you managed to complete it in such a short time without using diplomacy!

Save game at the beginning and end of the first battle with the Rust Dragons.

In the walkthrough description, you referred to VBN_a as a sir. Is this something from the distant past, or what?!
Why the distant past? He is, after all, a Knight of the Homo Homini clan.

The "Cheater" inscription in the high score table. Although I have never used the artifact and don't know how closely it monitors things.
ArtMoney won't cause the "Cheater" inscription to appear in Might and Magic III. But during a battle, it can easily replace 1000 golems with 1 in the computer's memory.
I wouldn't break a battle with golems if I didn't know a winning tactic. And you could calmly do it, and then explain how to fly like a snake. And who could determine how this battle was won? The main thing is that it can actually be won, and you explained how to do it, and anyone can verify this manually. That's what I'm talking about.

The ballista killer was only used in the battle with Malcolm, because he managed to reduce his morale to zero. It took about 2 hours. Haart managed it in an hour of manual combat, but unfortunately, his morale was not zero.
But, do these monsters that you were hitting never drop morale? Are they like mechanical creatures with zero morale??

Why "past"? He is a knight of the Homo Homini clan.
So, if you are a member of the clan, do you automatically get the title "Sir"? IMHO, Dmitry AS was hinting at NPortal?

You might be right, but it's still not very pleasant to use an obviously cheating program.
Hey, do these monsters that you were fighting never drop morale? Are they like mechanical and have zero morale?
Of course, golems always have zero morale, at least in Heroes 3.
And what - if you join a clan, do you get the title "Sir"?
No, there's just a ranking system in Homo Homini, and vbn is a knight.
In my opinion, Dmitry AS was hinting at NPortal?
I didn't understand it then. I don't know about vbn, but I didn't even register there.

the information that 37 days without diplomacy isn't that bad at least serves as some comfort... although I'm still not in the table, but that's exactly how many days I have... maybe even 3 days sooner... but I failed with diplomacy. I tried, by the way, to repeat the Fireball walkthrough - I just can't get anyone to join. It's some kind of nonsense. Therefore, I request that the winner upload an archive with save files where the troops of the joiners are already in place, and all that remains is to attack. At least five saves for general development.

I passed through calmly, across the sea, 2 outposts with angels, and only crystal creatures for convenience... it's boring.

Don't even mention it... I completely messed up: I decided to focus on combat and didn't develop diplomacy at all. The result was 37 days:(
[QUOTE=IronAxe;115810[/U]
Wow. That's impressive. I don't understand how you managed to complete it in such a short time without diplomacy! [/QUOTE]
I completed it in 23 days without diplomacy :) .

okay... that's also an option... but I wouldn't have thought of diplomacy, next, Necropolis was standing in the passage as a possibility.

You might be right, but it's still not very pleasant to use an outright cheating program.
For a player who is 100% sure that the battle is winnable and knows the winning tactic and can explain it clearly so that anyone can repeat the battle manually, this outright cheating program will only save time and free them from tedious, monotonous actions. But a player who uses it illegally won't last long. Imagine if you cheated a battle with golems and couldn't explain how to win that battle manually? What would happen to you then :) That's what will happen to outright cheaters.
Fireball;116016

Then I didn't understand it. I don't know about vbn, but I didn't even register there.
You did the right thing.

You did the right thing :)
Don't project your personal ambitions and misunderstandings that you experienced within the Heroes of Might and Magic community onto the game itself... :) There's a lot of great stuff in it. At the very least, the tournament system works at the highest level. That's all we can wish for everyone... ;)

The arbitrary behavior of some moderators there more than compensates for all the good things. There's no democracy. They silence those they dislike with the "system of clouds." And it's already impossible to defend your point of view or even argue.
AmberSoler;116147

At least, the tournament system works at the highest level. All that remains is to wish the same for everyone... ;)
I agree with that. But again, it's difficult to figure out the rules in the fourth installment. Unlike in Heroes of Might and Magic III, there's a belief that the leader doesn't owe anything to anyone during the verification process except the organizer – as if the intricacies of the playthrough are their personal intellectual property. And the organizer can request a public description at their discretion. And sometimes they ask for a description from people who aren't even the leaders. In short, it's difficult to personally verify those close to the "emperor." And here, people themselves submit saves for public viewing before the official verification – so you can decide for yourself which is better in tournaments. I'm only talking about the other versions besides the fourth – I haven't participated in them. I'm just talking about the section about the fourth game.
