Posts from Tournaments hassles HMM II Auto-translated

Good evening. 1. I would like to participate, but please explain in more detail what the arena is, as I am a beginner. I read about the first tournament, but I didn't quite understand it (are the best heroes fighting online?). 2. I think 29 days is just the right amount of time (10 days of vacation disrupt the work routine, and I still need to go to work and refine the map...). 3. Regarding the best (non-qualifying) run of the Warlord's Challenge tournament: can I register my colleague from my computer and email address, or does he need to create his own email address, or is it not possible for two people to participate from one computer?

2. I believe that 29 days is just the right amount (10 days of vacation disrupt the work routine; you still need to go to work and refine the map...).

The number of days refers to in-game days, meaning you should save the game with the markers 2-1-1 on the first day of the second month.
Sincerely, Kamikaze!

Good evening.
1. I would like to participate, but please explain in more detail, as if to a beginner, what the arena is. I read about the first Tournaments – I didn't quite understand (are the best heroes fighting each other online?).

Something like that, i.e., let's say 10 people played. The main hero from each player is selected, resulting in 10 heroes. Then, all ten heroes compete in a round-robin battle for the title of the strongest.

3. Question about the best (non-qualifying) completion of the Heroes of Might and Magic tournament: can I register my colleague from my computer and with my email, or does he need to create his own email, or is it not allowed for two people to use one computer?

Generally, it's not allowed for two people to use one computer, but in extreme cases, an exception can be made... ;)
Verdict: Your colleague can register from your computer (but he needs to create his own email). But on the condition that when playing in the Tournaments, you will not communicate with each other during the tournament. Of course, it is clear that we cannot check this, so it is up to your conscience. :)

Sincerely.

Of course, we won't be able to verify this, so it's up to your conscience.

Understood, thank you, I'll register now.
P.S. I was born in Leningrad, so I do have a conscience.

1. Still willing to participate:smile08:
2. Willing to volunteer as a save file checker:smile01:

Arena-based competitive system. Within the specified game time, players must prepare one hero with an army. This hero, along with all their morale, luck, and mana stats, is transferred from the submitted save file to the Arena. The army formation remains unchanged! In the Arena, this hero faces off against heroes from the other save files in turn. Two rounds take place: first, one hero attacks, then the other. The Arena is judged by a referee. At the same time, all tournament participants receive their own Arenas and can give their verdict. The practice of online arenas is not very widespread, in particular due to technical problems experienced by some participants. A subtle point: the awarding of the arena may not coincide with the participant's opinion. In this case, we will investigate, but the final decision rests with the referee.

Let's discuss wishes for a map for a competitive tournament.
The main question: should the map be strategically clear, or should everything be as confusing as possible? And how challenging should the gameplay be?

Well, regarding these two questions, we will never (in my opinion) reach a consensus... so, I think it should be left to the discretion of the organizer. :)

Colleagues, the relatively small number of comments is a bit concerning...
Should we create an arena? Do you have any suggestions?

Since there are "so many" posts, it means everyone trusts your competence. You just need to start the arena, and people will join... ;)

To be honest, due to a lack of experience, I simply have no idea what such a tournament would entail (what the map should be like, etc.). So, unfortunately:smile43:

Dear colleagues,
The second stage of the Van Kanegem Tournament has concluded.
To be honest, I don't have a tournament schedule for this year. The only tournament planned is the seventh stage of the VK Tournament (approximately July-August).
I suggest we brainstorm together about the remaining tournaments.
Currently, I am aware of the following tournament formats for the second Heroes game:
1. Speedrun;
2. Speed leveling a hero to a certain level;
3. Obtaining the maximum amount of experience within a certain time;
4. Speed obtaining a certain number of skeletons (ghosts);
5. Obtaining the maximum number of skeletons (ghosts) within a certain time;
6. Speed obtaining a certain amount of gold or other resources, or their combination;
7. Obtaining the maximum amount of gold or other resources, or their combination, within a certain time;
8. Arena;
9. Speed obtaining an army of a certain strength (against AI);
10. Obtaining an army of maximum strength (against AI) within a certain time;
11. Speed completing a quest (in particular, obtaining the Main Artifact).

Of course, this list is not exhaustive.
I suggest we think together: which tournaments will we play and when. Everything is in our hands, including wishes regarding maps. In principle, I am even ready to put a hero in the tavern without a "very slow" spell :)))

Okay, I'll talk about something I didn't want to mention.
There's another tournament format: starting from a map. This format is extremely difficult to judge, requiring a lot of time and effort to check the save files.
I hope it won't generate much interest.

And I'm waiting for suggestions and discussions regarding the format and schedule for the Heroes II tournaments in season 2009!

I would like something from items 3, 5, and 7. I like it when the end is clearly marked.

I would like to participate in a tournament where the goal is to collect certain resources or excavate an artifact. I haven't participated in such tournaments yet. I will participate in tournaments! I only expect victories from myself; other places don't interest me.
