FIFTH OFFLINE TOURNAMENT FOR HEROES 1: "CYCLOPES ISLE"Auto-translated
Good day, dear tournament participants!
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that our website now has an official game ranking!
You can find out how it is calculated in the corresponding thread:

It's strange, it seems to say that you can't buy back heroes who died in battle.
Answer: No, you can't buy back dead companion heroes:smile51:
Sincerely, VDV_forever
It seemed to me that they meant your own, dead, heroes. :smile39: Replaying for a week isn't a problem, but I just want to offer some advice for the future - fix this rule. Killing off a well-developed companion hero with the intention of buying them back later (obviously not on the same day) is not an integral part of the game, and it's wrong to prohibit it. IMHO. ;)
Don't forget that Heroes 1 is a unique game with its own quirks and subtleties. This ban was not introduced by me by chance.
Unlike other Heroes of Might and Magic games, in Heroes 1, you can predict the AI's behavior with 99% accuracy, but there's a very significant caveat!
It turns out that you can also force the AI to act in a completely illogical way (1%), and while not everyone is aware of this phenomenon, it remains a fact, and you should know about it.
We have a wonderful person on our portal, an experienced programmer, a professional player, and a great conversationalist, who creates truly remarkable products related to Heroes! So, I asked him to create a program for Heroes 1 to make life easier for players in offline tournaments. If he succeeds and decides to take on this task, I, for one, simply won't have enough words to express my gratitude. But we will definitely reward him!
I will only say that the main function of this program (possibly for a specific case) will be aimed at identifying this 1% of the AI's behavior.
I won't reveal all the secrets (so as not to jinx it).
P.S. Your comment has been taken into account.
Sincerely, VDV_ferever
Okay, I've sent the save file! I'm looking forward to the competition results! Yeah, Heroes 1 is a very unique game!!! Thanks to the organizer for creating such a great map!

Well... you almost convinced me... :)

....and you have completely intrigued me :)

Interesting, will you show an extra-class game this time?;)
The save has been completed; I will send it closer to the end of the tournament. There won't be an extra-class game, but it's a decent game with a plus, so players will have to work a little to beat me :)

Well, let's see. For now, I (have no one to compare with), but I also think the result is good, although, of course, not the best possible! :smile49:

As for me, I can't even imagine how good a result can be achieved on this map. I'm just playing through it as best as I can, and along the way, I'm learning some of the nuances of combat in Heroes 1.
to VDV_forever: Please register me for the tournament.
I looked at the map yesterday, it's intense... I have absolutely no idea what tactics to use for this tournament, but I'll try to send a save file with any result (even a very small one). Hmm, but I'm not expecting a great result... :D
