Good day, dear tournament participants! I would like to draw your attention to the fact that our website now has an official game ranking!

Today (10/23/07), the second stage of the "Company" tournament has begun. I invite everyone to participate in it;) Sincerely, VDV_forever

Good day, dear forum members and fans of Heroes 1! Please accept my apologies for my prolonged absence from the forum. Due to the fact that the workload increases several times towards the end of the year, I had to urgently leave on a business trip, and upon my return, I had to focus on solving the tasks at my main job, temporarily leaving the forum. Unfortunately, the trend of a large workload at my main job will continue at least until the end of the year, so my presence on the forum during this period will be rare; please understand. Of course, I do not relieve myself of my obligations to you regarding the topics and sections that I manage for the benefit of the forum, so in any case, the section on Heroes 1 will be revived again, and new Tournaments will be ready to welcome all fans into their ranks! Moreover, we now have a new assistant for this section, dear Kamikaze; please welcome and support him. You all know very well about the merits of this user. Congratulations, Kamikaze, on your new position; I hope that I can rely on you in difficult times. Another pleasant news! As soon as I finish the comprehensive guide to Heroes 1, it will be posted on the domain www.heroesworld.ru! The pleasant news doesn't end there! In the near future, the following users of our forum will be awarded: This includes Prorok (1st place in the 1st Tournament "Evil Lands"); Sage (1st place in the 5th Tournament for Heroes 1 "CYCLOPES ISLE"); Vbn for outstanding services to the community! (Few people know, but in addition to his past achievements, Vbn has new ones: he developed a unique and the only program for Heroes 1 - the "boat-digger," which allows you to dig up boats from a computer opponent. I hope he will create a corresponding topic in this section!) We owe all of this to our Respected Creator! Sincerely, VDV_forever

Congratulations to Kamikaze on his new position, I hope we can rely on you in difficult times.

Thank you, thank you! This is a new challenge for me. But as for relying on me – I think you can, and even should!

Preliminary results for stage 4 of the "Companionship" tournament have been summarized: /topic/1294/ Final results will be announced by esteemed Kamikaze.

Good day, dear fans of "one-player" mode!

The 5th stage of the "Companionship" tournament has begun. I invite everyone who wants to participate in it.

In my opinion, this map is one of the most interesting, beautiful, and challenging in terms of speedrunning. Without a carefully thought-out strategy and tactics for conducting battles, it will be difficult to achieve good results on this map. Therefore, if you have time, try to play through the map at least twice.

This map is unique in that the main task for completing it is to capture the Slayer's castle, which is guarded by a very strong hero, the Barbarian!

In general, I highly recommend that all fans and professionals participate in this tournament.

I wish everyone good luck in the tournament! May luck and high morale be with you!

P.S. After this stage, the winners of the previous stages of the "Companionship" tournament will be awarded. The preparation of the awards is already underway.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Good day to all dear tournament enthusiasts!

1) I would like to draw your attention to some minor adjustments in the general rules for tournaments:

Rules for offline tournaments + FAQ!

The changes affected section 3.3 of the rules; it now reads as follows:

3.3. Load the save and start playing at any time that is convenient for you (i.e., players must play strictly on downloaded saves. Restarting the game is prohibited). At the same time, you must обязательно make saves at the beginning and end of each gaming day, as well as saves immediately before a difficult battle, and keep them on your computer!
The judge has the right to request daily saves from ANY player and explanations regarding them, up to describing the tactics of a specific battle.
If there are no satisfactory (from the judge's point of view) explanations, the player's result will be annulled. If there is a satisfactory description of the gameplay, but if the necessary saves are missing, the player will be credited with a loss. The statute of limitations (the period during which daily saves must be kept) is 7 days after the preliminary results of the round are announced.

2) To facilitate the review of tournament results, the topic with the results of offline tournaments has been updated; the tables have been brought into a uniform design style, unnecessary information and tags have been removed, and a rating has been compiled for the very first tournaments played on HW!

I wish you an enjoyable viewing experience.

Sincerely, VDV_forever
