Yeah... that's what happens when you don't visit the forum... They've already turned the tournament thread into a battlefield...

MUJIOPD, I would ask you to show more respect to the forum members... Just because your personal opinion doesn't align with the opinions of others, that's no reason to insult them... Please be respectful!
And I personally am not going to tolerate any flaming directed at respected people!

All subsequent arguments and insults will be deleted without comment!

P.S. Honestly, things are getting heated... I'm trying to find the right words...

Yes... it definitely improved the result, but now instead of describing "drinking beer on the tower for three days," I have to describe a two-hour battle :smile35:
Maybe in brief?
By the way, Iron Truth is right: battles are more fun with beer:smile14:

You're making things difficult... :)

but now, instead of describing "drinking beer on the tower for three days," I'll have to describe a two-hour battle :smile35:

Well... But mine took only about 10 minutes in the final stage. You're really making things difficult... :)

I don't know how well it fits the rules, but I'm doing it the easy way...
During the battle, I make intermediate saves (if the battle is difficult, this is also useful for myself). Then, if a description is needed, I simply compress them with 7-Zip and send them – in theory, it should replace the description, and it's even more visual, and it takes less time.

Just in case – the re-archiving algorithm. I've seen it described here before, but it doesn't hurt to repeat it, as new people appear.
1. The original saves '*.h4s' are already archives. They need to be unarchived. You can do this with WinRAR or WinZip.
2. The unarchived files can be given the 'h4s' extension again. Heroes will read them in this form as well, as long as the extension matches.
3. And then compress them with 7-Zip into one common archive. With a large number of saves from one battle or even one day, the compression can reach 1000 times. Usually ~100..200.

I am not useless - I can be used as a bad example!

And yet... I finished it in about 10 minutes. You're really making it difficult... :)

A bunch of bodybuilders got together:D. They're sitting around drinking beer and making everyone else sweat.:D
P.S. I just finished the map, with a record time, I'll wait. I doubt I can improve my time, I don't even have any ideas, but there's still time:D, and maybe I'll find something.
At least only the winners write the descriptions:D.

I just saved the best for last:D
I think no one will beat you with an iron strategy. My result can be improved by at least a week and a half, but I don't know how to conduct such complex battles:D
I tried to compress it with RAR... 50 MB is a lot, even with unlimited bandwidth:(
I'll have to look for 7-Zip...

Look, a bunch of bodybuilders got together:D. They're sitting around drinking beer and annoying everyone:D.

Oh! The opponent is demoralized – the goal has been achieved! :D

LeSHiJ-MaX;133563

At least the descriptions are only written by the winners:D.

Hmm. But at the same time, it blends in with the surrounding landscape... What could that be for...?

BigAke;133701

My result could be improved by at least a week and a half.

Phew. I relaxed... I'm crawling away... (smile="stupid grin across my face")

BigAke;133701

50 meters is a lot, even for an unlimited connection:(

You won't believe it – I'm using dial-up :)

I've sent the save file. Please confirm receipt. To Undegrounder: I told you I would be a tough competitor for the mid-tier players, so why are the top players getting nervous?

Oh! The enemy is demoralized - the goal of the bazaars is achieved! :D
Hm. But at the same time, it disguises itself as the surrounding landscape... What for..?

The best disguise is beer - the more you drink, the better :D
I no longer have the patience to keep the save in front of my eyes, I won't be playing through it again anyway. If I don't make it into the top 5, then I'll disguise myself like that :D
Sent the save, waiting for confirmation.:D

Well, I don't know about you, sir, but in my opinion, this isn't fair. To sit there and repeat the same turn 100 times just so you can say, "Hey, you're a noob..." That's ridiculous. Here's a map, here are 10 hours to complete it... Whatever you manage to fix during that time, good for you; if not, well, sorry.
Honestly, I don't care – I completed the map in 130+ turns. Let the others grind away (;

Not to get praise from you :). But to find out how many days it takes to complete the map in the shortest time possible. And your idea of playing for 24 hours is nonsense. I, or someone else, using different nicknames, through save files or friends, will get a starting save, complete it in a week in real time, and then log in with my own nickname and submit my week-long result, presenting it as a 24-hour completion. Of course, this will require minimizing long battles, but even then, someone playing like that will have an advantage over such idealists as you. In fact, you're proposing a competition to see who can make the most moves in almost no time, just accumulating troops. So, don't try to make things seem better than they are.

Yeah, I just saved the best for last:D
I think no one will beat you with Iron.

I don't think I'll have time to finish, so don't wait for me. I've got a lot of real-life problems before the New Year, especially with work. And I won't participate in the Best of Three either. And I don't want to submit a result for 24 hours with 130 turns. Although I think that even such a result is valid, given the player's level in offline play; he's not a beginner. And there's still room for improvement, and maybe there will be even better results in the future. Tomorrow, I have to go back to work. So, it looks like Sunday and the following Saturday are out of the question :(

It's hard to call people who follow the "come, see, and be rude" approach idealists:D

Are you going to scare us with your walkthrough about nebulas?
Well, I didn't even finish typing, and you've already filled yours... Well, Iron, but no one will believe that you won't send the save file, since you signed up, and you don't have any bad saves for the 4th game :-)

Even though I'm not a big expert on the 4th game, I completed the map within the first few days of signing up, although at first I was scared to even start it, because there are very unfriendly creatures roaming the map :-) So you have plenty of time...
