I present to you a description of my playthrough of the tournament map:
The tenth stage of the John Van Caneghem Tournament. "Triple Trouble".
Version: Heroes of Might and Magic 5 (ver. 1.6)
Task: defeat all enemies.
Day one.
At the beginning, we have Nür (26 Gremlins, 9 Gargoyles) with a +3 spellpower and -1 morale amulet, some resources, and 10000 gold.
In the tavern are Deleb and Natir. Also, a Tavern, Gremlins, Gargoyles, and a Forge have already been built.
And the Forge will play an important role in our journey.
I buy Natir (21 Gremlins, 6 Gargoyles, 1 Golem).
I build a Gremlin Factory.
I buy all the units in the city, upgrade the Gremlins, and give all the army except the Golem to Nür (67 Master Gremlins, 31 Gargoyles). I buy a tent for Nür.
Nür opens a crypt (F1) (25 Skeleton Archers, 20 Plagued Zombies, 5 Ghosts), losing 1 Gremlin: 2000 gold. On the way home, he picks up 4 gems.
I buy Deleb (19 Imps, 10 Horned Demons). I buy a tent. Deleb takes a Gargoyle from Nür.
He runs and destroys a Gargoyle (F2), using only the Gargoyle in battle, and visits a +1000 experience stone. Then he clears out the Squires (F3, 34 Squires die without losses), 19 Imps are divided into two groups of 9+10, the tent decides everything, and he heads to the Sawmill.
Natir picks up 4 gems, 2 mercury, and approaches the Sawmill.
There are 59 gold left.
Day two.
Deleb destroys the Fairies (F4), again only with Gargoyles, then the Squires (F5, autobattle), turns around, and goes towards the Paladins.
Natir takes the +5 wood, the Sawmill, and collects the treasures guarded by the Squires: +2500 gold, Cloak of Sylvanna, Sword of Might (+2 attack).
Nür visits the Dolmen of Knowledge and follows Deleb.
I build a Golem Forge.
There are 1559 gold in the treasury.
Day three.
Deleb attacks the Paladins (F6), picking up a bonfire (+5 stone, +500 gold) along the way. In the battle with the Paladins, he loses 2 Imps (it didn't work out better). The Paladins bring 10000 gold to the treasury. I collect chests for experience.
I build a Golem Factory, upgrade the units. I buy Grok, who brings the already Steel Ten to Nür. It is better to exchange troops on grass. Along the way, Grok picks up a +7 wood.
Natir takes a +4 stone and goes after the others.
Nür destroys the Riders (F7), visits the Camp (attack +1), and destroys the Ghosts (F8).
There are 4849 gold.
Day four.
Nür attacks the Archers (F9, losses: 2 Master Gremlins), visits the Dolmen (+1000 experience), and destroys the Minotaurs (F10). He turns around and runs to Deleb.
Grok collects the treasures behind the Minotaurs: a chest +1000 gold and Necklace of the Bloody Claw. The turn ends.
Deleb exchanges troops with Nür: now the demon has 3 Imps and 10 Steel Golems. He attacks the Water Elementals (F11, losses: 10 Golems and 1 Imp) – the ballista rules! He builds a boat and jumps on board.
Nür moves to the mill, which is guarded by skeletons. Natir arrives at the crossroads.
There are 6249 gold in the treasury.
Day five.
Grok collects gold and a chest: +2900 gold. He runs to the crossroads to give the amulet to Natir (calculate the turns so that on the seventh day he reaches the stones near the Ore Pit).
Nür destroys the Skeleton Archers (F12), visits the mill (+5 crystals), and runs to meet Natir.
Natir takes the Amulet from Grok, the army (all except the Master Gremlins) from Nür, gives the Sword and Amulet to the sorceress, runs to the shipyard, and gives the army to Deleb.
Deleb sets sail, collects debris on the water, and lands on the Warlock's Island.
Natir builds a ship and runs after the chest south of the shipyard. Nür loads himself onto the ship.
Day six.
Grok takes 5 wood, 900 gold, and looks at the stones near the mine.
Nür sails to the Shipwreck.
Natir grabs the chest (+2000 gold), returns to the shipyard, builds another boat, and begins sailing.
Deleb fights the Dancers (F13), visits the Dolmen, fights the Peasants (F14), picks up gold, visits the mill (+500 gold), then destroys the Hunters (F15), Hydras (F16), and stops.
At night, Eruvina (F17: 41 Assassins, 8 Blood Maidens, 6 Minotaurs) attacks Deleb and is practically defeated without losses.
There are 12649 gold.
Day seven.
Grok takes the stones (+5) and turns towards the mercury.
Deleb visits the fountain, captures Yeshad (F18, gather the Imps together - autobattle), and stays overnight in the city.
I build a Stronghold in Yeshad (5000, 5 wood, 5 stone).
Natir approaches the shore near the Isle of Warlocks, where he waits for the army to be delivered.
Nür attacks the broken galleon (F19: victory over 25 Spectres & 15 Skeletons in autobattle) and receives Windstrider's Boots (+1 to unit speed) and 5000 gold as a reward. He sails to the yellow shore.
I buy Razazak, who collects mercury (+2+2), captures the Alchemist's Laboratory, and waits for the army from the Warlock's Castle on the first day of the second week.
There are 9149 gold in the treasury.
Day eight.
I buy 4 Hydras and 6 Riders for Deleb. He destroys the Girls (F20) near the stables, the Riders (F21) next to the Marletto Tower, and the Minotaurs (F22), who guard a large number of treasures (two chests for experience: 1500 and 1000 experience – we get Expert Machines; and 600 gold). And he heads to the garrison.
In Yeshad, I buy Yora, she buys Assassins, Maidens, and Minotaurs, takes them to Razazak, who gives everything to Natir, visiting the mill along the way and picking up gold (+900).
Razazak gets into a boat.
Natir takes the army to Nür, and he, in turn, docks on the island of wizards.
Grok takes mercury and goes to the crystal cave.
Day nine.
Deleb breaks through the garrison (F23, a very interesting battle: only 4 Hydras remain alive) and goes to the Ranger's Castle.
Nür rushes to the City of Wizards.
Natir lands on the shore after Nür.
Razazak swims to the man on the log.
Grok and Yora collect loot on the map.
At night, Dirael (F24) attacks Deleb and suffers a crushing defeat from Deleb in an unequal battle.
Day ten.
Deleb captures Halin (F25, autobattle), which Yltin tried to repel, and stops waiting.
Nür destroys the Liches (F26, only with Gargoyles, losing a few Gargoyles), Havez (F27: 97 Master Gremlins, 20 Gargoyles), who runs away with three dozen Gremlins and captures the capital of the mages, Sapphire (F28, autobattle).
Natir collects money. Yora goes there too, but she has nothing to collect.
Razazak visits the man on the log, receiving Ring of Caution (attack and defense +2), attacks the ship, escapes, bathes in Sapphire, and gives the ring to Nür.
Galib is bought, who picks up 4 wood and 4 mercury.
Grok runs to the market, and we have a week that favors good resource trading, and he exchanges everything for mercury. In total, we got 38 units of liquid gold.
And the crazy Nür, at level 9, managed to get 32 (6-7-10-9) primary skills.
And finally, Deleb destroys Gilraen (F29, autobattle).
VICTORY!!!
