Here's a link to the archive of results from that tournament a year ago on the forum:
I looked it up. The map in the tournament was a no-resource map => experienced HP players couldn't play on it. And you, I see, won that tournament :) .

Although the question of using the Hat still remains open... Now we know how to use it "skillfully," :)
We know, or rather, we know how it can be used "skillfully." I only used it for planting and removing units.

I looked it up. The map in the no-land tournament meant that experienced HP players couldn't play on it. And you, it seems, won that tournament :) .

Since they didn't have the 3rd victory criterion, AmberSoler shared first place with another "player" :)

Walkthrough for the Caribbean Sea tournament.

So, let's start from the beginning :) .
Initially, Christian has an army of 100 halberdiers and 100 musketeers; furthermore, there is an opportunity to hire the hero Jelu on the map, so we can immediately forget about building up the castle.
Day 1:
Immediately jump with Christian onto a ship and sail into the whirlpool, surfacing in the upper-left whirlpool, search the shipwrecks, receiving 4000 gold. After that, sail into the whirlpool, surfacing in the lower-left whirlpool, pick up a chest with 1500 gold slightly below and to the left of the whirlpool, and return to the coast of the starting castle. In the city, hero Orrin is purchased; he takes the troops and the cap from Christian's ship. Hero Kyr is purchased in the city, receives the army and cap from Orrin, after which Orrin captures the lighthouse. Kyr loots the dwarves' house for +5000 gold and 5 crystals, then goes up and slightly to the left of the garrison to summon a boat and gets into it. Hero Voy is bought out in the city, takes the army and cap from Kyr's ship and gets into the summoned boat himself, then sails into the whirlpool, surfaces in the lower-right whirlpool and lands by the tavern, where hero Moner is hired, who in turn takes the army and cap from Voy. Moner boards a ship and disembarks near Maracaibo castle and captures it, losing 3 musketeers, 70 halberdiers, 5 archers, and 16 pikemen. Moner becomes an expert in logistics. Next, Moner heads toward Whistledale castle but stops 2 cells short of it. Christian spends the rest of his moves sailing to the whirlpool.
Result at the end of day 1: 5 heroes, 2 castles, 500 gold, 7 wood, 7 ore, 5 crystals, income 4500 gold per day.
Day 2:
Moner captures Whistledale castle, losing 2 musketeers. In Whistledale, Jelu is hired and takes the musketeers and cap from Moner. Moner retakes the obelisk below the castle, visits it, and goes to the water mill. Jelu reaches the coast where Voy stayed overnight; Voy takes 95 musketeers and 1 sharpshooter as well as the cap from Jelu, boards a summoned ship, sails into the whirlpool, surfaces in the upper-left whirlpool, heads toward the green player's Matamoros castle and takes it immediately, losing 1 musketeer. In Matamoros, Gunnar is hired; he swaps 1 troglodyte for 74 musketeers and the cap from Voy. He gets into a boat, picks up a chest with 1500 gold and a shipwrecked person (artifact – Horn of Plenty) and stops 2 cells short of the whirlpool. Voy enters the castle and prepares for defense. Orrin hides in the starting castle. Christian takes the troops and cap from Gunnar and surfaces in the upper-right whirlpool, sails left to visit the brown player and captures his Clearwater castle, where hero Struker is purchased (almost all resources had to be sold at the market). Struker takes all the musketeers for himself, leaving Christian with one undead; Christian hides in the castle. Struker captures Hollywood castle and remains standing without hiding in the garrison, otherwise the brown player's hero Arlash would attack the castle where Christian is hidden. The remaining hero Kyr dives into the whirlpool, surfaces in the lower-right whirlpool and heads left.
Result at the end of day 2: 8 heroes, 6 castles, 0 gold, 4 wood, income 11500 gold per day.
During the turn transition, first the green player attacks Matamoros castle and is defeated, leaving Voy 1 sharpshooter and 17 musketeers. Then the brown hero Arlash attacks Hollywood and also suffers defeat, leaving Struker 64 musketeers and 14 raised skeletons. Brown is destroyed.
Day 3:
To start, Moner visits the water mill and captures the empty Bucaramanga castle and hides in it. Struker passes all musketeers to Christian and runs with the skeletons up the road. Christian gets into a boat, lands by the obelisk above, defeats the guards, visits the obelisk, and getting back into the boat sails toward the whirlpool but does not reach it. Gunnar sails up to Christian, takes the army and cap, meets Jelu in the whirlpool, giving him 60 musketeers and upgrading 4 musketeers to sharpshooters, which he keeps for himself. Jelu surfaces in the middle whirlpool and sails up to the blue computer's islands. Gunnar gives the sharpshooters and cap to Kyr. Kyr lands at Whistledale castle, where Dessa is hired; she takes the sharpshooters and cap from Kyr. Dessa gets into a boat and sails toward the orange computer's castle. The castle guard is 1 crusader. We lose 1 sharpshooter and 1 goblin; we don't have time to enter the castle, but I don't need to anyway :) . In Matamoros castle, Pir is purchased and with 1 sharpshooter runs down the path toward the obelisk guarded by golems. From the same castle Voy emerges, captures the gold mine and defeats the harpies at the obelisk on the left.
Result at the end of day 3: 10 heroes (2 in castles), 8 castles, 6000 gold, 1 ore and 5 of each other resource, income 15500 gold per day.
Day 4:
Struker runs along the road without turning off; Kyr visits a warrior's grave — it contains a Ring of Life, passes the ring to Dessa who has sailed up, Dessa passes the cap, ring and 3 sharpshooters to Gunnar. Gunnar sails toward Jelu but falls slightly short, so Jelu takes all his goods himself, upgrades all musketeers to sharpshooters and lands on the blue computer's island. Through the nearest gold mine and arena he captures Havana castle, where a castle is immediately built. Pir runs down the road. Voy visits the obelisk and is dismissed. Moner emerges from Bucaramanga castle, having bought a ballista there, kills the purple hero Inham and heads along the road to the last purple castle. With nothing better to do, Christian collects goods around the island under the lower-left whirlpool. Kyr is dismissed; instead, Alamar is purchased in Maracaibo castle, buys up the entire army there (swapping resources) and manages to defeat the purple hero Sylvia.
Result at the end of day 4: 9 heroes (1 in castle), 9 castles, 20 gold, 0 ore, 10 wood, 6 of each other resource, income 18500 per day.
In the turn transition, hero Alamar dies at the hands of a purple hero. The orange computer loses its hero while storming a neutral castle. Orange is destroyed.
Day 5:
Struker reaches the obelisk and then is dismissed. The purple hero loses to Moner. Moner heads toward the last purple castle. Jelu captures Guantanamo castle, where Sorsha was holding a defense with a weak army. Jelu hides in the castle. Pir breaks through the golems at the obelisk with a ballista and sharpshooter, visits the obelisk and goes up to the road sign. Orrin leaves the starting castle and boards the constructed ship. Gunnar lands at Port-au-Prince city. In Guantanamo castle, an archer tower is built; Gurnisson is purchased, takes 69 sharpshooters and the cap from Jelu, and gets into a summoned boat. In the same castle, Oris is purchased, takes the cap from Gurnisson, boards a summoned ship and gives the cap back to Gurnisson. Gurnisson passes troops and artifacts to Christian via Dessa. Christian kills a hundred knights on the islet with the obelisk. Gurnisson surfaces in the upper-left whirlpool and sails down to save a shipwrecked person. Oris rests in the whirlpool.
Result at the end of day 5: 9 heroes (1 in castle), 10 castles, 7920 gold, 0 wood and ore, 7 crystals and gems each, 11 mercury and sulfur each, income 20500 gold per day.
In the turn transition, the main blue hero lands at Havana castle.
Day 6:
Gunnar runs along the road to an empty neutral castle; Orrin lands on the island with the stables; Pir stops at the Grail location. The army and cap from Christian are passed via Dessa to Oris, who is also given the artifact Red Dragon's Flame-Tongue Sword from Gurnisson. Oris lands on the blue computer's island, where she gives Jelu the artifacts and sharpshooter army, while she herself spends the night in a boat wearing the cap. Jelu visits the +1 defense tower, captures the crystal mine and gold mine and hides in Havana castle. Moner incidentally captures the last purple computer castle and hides in it. Purple is destroyed. Dessa spends the night near the whirlpool; Gurnisson near the coast with the green computer's last castle; Christian to the left of the whirlpool behind a stone ridge. In Havana castle, a level 1 Mages' Guild is built; Jelu buys a spellbook.
Result at the end of day 6: 9 heroes (2 in castles), 11 castles, 25920 gold, 0 wood and ore, 12 crystals and gems each, 13 mercury and sulfur each, income 21500 gold per day.
In the turn transition, the blue computer's hero Edric with the main army (309 musketeers, 84 halberdiers, 7 griffins, 40 crusaders, 4 cavalrymen, 20 champions) besieges Havana castle and suffers defeat from Jelu (1+1+1+1+1+1+63 sharpshooters), leaving him 44 sharpshooters. Blue is destroyed.
Day 7:
Gunnar captures the empty neutral San Domingo castle and hides in it. In San Domingo, Vistan is purchased; he buys swordsmen and spearmen, defeats serpents near the obelisk and visits the obelisk, after which he is dismissed. Moner leaves Ciudad Guayana castle and visits the obelisk to its bottom-left. Moner is dismissed. In Hollywood castle, Axis is purchased, visits the obelisk below Hollywood and is dismissed. Orrin visits the obelisk on the island with stables and is dismissed. Pir begins digging the ground and extracts the Grail from it. Jelu leaves Havana castle and gives the sharpshooters to Oris; Oris swims through the whirlpool and meets Christian swimming by, who takes the army and cap from her. Oris is dismissed. Christian kills the green player's hero who decided to take a boat ride, then Gurnisson takes his army and cap, lands near the lighthouse and kills two green computer heroes. Gurnisson passes the army and cap back to Christian. Gurnisson is dismissed. Dessa uses her moves to pick up everything left lying nearby on the sea before being dismissed. Christian sails to the green Culiacán castle and lands near it. I swap all resources for gold, totaling 63045 gold. Christian uses his last step to capture the empty green computer castle Culiacán. Green is destroyed. Victory!
In total, 13 castles were taken in 7 days + Grail dug up = 500 points. 63045 gold.

Hello everyone, I just got home from work and saw the results. Congratulations to Sage on the victory! Apparently, I misunderstood how the points are calculated; I thought that the number of castles played a significant role (and according to Alan's formula, I calculated 498,83871)! I tried to capture all 27 castles, but unfortunately, I didn't have enough time in 8 days! I captured 26, only missing one with 300 champions. Oh well, I still had a great time! AmberSoler, thank you for the great map, and Ley, thank you for organizing this unusual tournament! Sincerely, Perpolken!

The whole trick is that when calculating points using this formula, the computer rounds down the ratio of the number of castles to the number of days to the nearest whole number!!! I also didn't realize this right away and tried to capture all the cities!

Hello everyone. I knew how the computer calculates the scores. But I was sure that Ley would calculate the scores by substituting the players' results into the formula. This would avoid similar results. Well, I was wrong, I should have asked this question earlier. Brief Walkthrough: Day 1 Christian opens the treasure vault. I buy 2 heroes (Orrin and Voy). By the end of the day, Voy killed peasants (took the Horn of Abundance), captured the Castle of Hollywood (grey). The other heroes set out to sea. Day 2 I bought Kiry (killed a grey hero, took a mine and an obelisk). Voy and Christian on the island captured Nicholas-Town and Andros-Town. Day 3 Christian takes 100 pikemen and gives them to Voy. Voy captures the Castle of Jamaica, and Orrin captures San Domingo. Day 4 Christian captures the green Castle of Culiacan. Kiry takes the grey Castle of Clearwater, the grey hero disappears. Orrin takes the obelisk. In the tavern, I found Jela. Day 5 I transferred money into snipers, Christian opened the passage to the obelisk (killed 100 swordsmen with snipers). Voy captured the purple Castle of Whistledale. Day 6 Voy captured the purple Castle of Moracaibo and the green Castle of Matamoros. Moner captured the yellow Castle of Panama. With the secondary heroes, I took a couple more obelisks. Day 7 Voy captures Houston, Kiry captures New Orleans and finds the 2nd Horn of Abundance. Dessa captures the purple Castle of Bucaramanga. Christian captures (Port-au-Prince). With the secondary heroes, 6 castles were captured (Veracruz, Merida, Cancun, Cantunil, George-Town, Fort-de-France) and three obelisks. Day 8 Christian (115 snipers, 65 archers, 12 pikemen, 4 marksmen) attacks the blue hero Edric (314 archers, 20 champions, 40 crusaders, 98 archers, 4 riders, 9 griffins). The blue hero flees, Christian has 90 snipers left. With the secondary heroes, I took the Grail, captured 4 castles (Haiti, Everman, the purple Castle of Ciudad, in the last action (autobattle), the hero Ivor captures the blue Castle of Havana). In the last turn, Sir Mullich (90 snipers, 65 archers, 3 griffins) tried to capture the Castle of Whitestone (300 champions), but failed! Money and the army were wasted. Result: 3rd place, 500 points, 8 days and 7 coins! Thank you for your attention. See you on Best! Sincerely, Perpolken!

..but no luck! Money wasted on heroes and army.
I was pulling my hair out yesterday myself that I didn't have enough for another replay...
Even from my own description I can see - it dragged out for seven days.. At least - a pile of cash...

Oh well, what's done is done...

I read through the walkthroughs of my fellow tournament participants and concluded that such a large lead in gold was achieved through a more productive first day, while the one-day lag was a result of capturing more castles than I did. Destroying fewer computer-controlled opponents in less than 7 days was quite possible, but the Grail wasn't ready by that time.

I was pulling my hair out yesterday because I didn't have enough time for another replay...
Even from my own description, I can see that it took seven days... At a minimum, a lot of money...
I only replayed once, and even then, I played until the 5th day and realized that I was going in the wrong direction...
P.S. It's a shame that many strong players didn't participate in this tournament.
