Posts from [HMM V TOURNAMENT OFF] "Battle of the Oligarchs"

1. To participate in the third offline tournament for Heroes 5, "Battle of the Oligarchs," you must register on our website and submit an application in this thread.

2. The tournament will be held on the Russian version of Heroes 5 from 1C, version 3.0. The save file will be generated on the Russian version 3.0.

3. The goal of the game is to defeat the enemy.
The result will be evaluated primarily based on the shortest time.
If several players have the same completion time, the best will be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) INCLUDING WORN ARTIFACTS. If a favorite still cannot be determined, it will be based on the amount of mercury.

4. The following are prohibited in the tournament:

1) Using cheats, codes, mods, and additional programs that can change the game structure in the final playthrough.

2) Digging up the Tear of Ascha without fully opening the puzzle map.

3) Restarting or any other modification of the initial save file is prohibited.

4) Discussion of the tournament on the forum during its duration is PROHIBITED!!!
(Players who violate this rule will automatically be disqualified, their results will not be counted and will be annulled).

5. The player must save intermediate save files for each game day during the tournament. Also, make replays of EACH battle.
Intermediate save files/replays may be requested by the tournament organizer to verify the integrity of the playthrough. If the use of cheat codes is detected, as well as clearly indicated errors and features of the game prohibited for use, the player will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

6. Together with the final save file, players must send a description of the tactics of the final battle (the more complex the battle, the more complete the description).
If the victory depends on the outcome of morale/luck/certain actions of computer players, a complete description of the battle is required - one that can be used to repeat it. It is also desirable to send a replay of the final battle, especially if it is difficult and cannot be won with auto-battle.

7. Send the final save file to the email address f_susanna@mail.ru. The sent save file must be in an archive, and the archive must be named after the participant's number in the application table and the player's nickname. Example: 1_Koren Zla.zip

8. The tournament starts on December 30 and will last until January 21 (inclusive). The results will be announced on January 24, 2008.

9. After receiving your save file, you will see in the application table that:

EXTENDED THE TOURNAMENT BY 1 DAY!

Oh! :smile54: It's great that such interesting tournaments have been organized. For example, I can't play online due to financial constraints, and I don't think my internet connection would allow me to play online with 5 players, so I want to participate! :smile41:

And also, as I'm a newbie, I have a couple of questions:

1) Can I use the quick battle option? 2) I have a mod installed - the hero customization mod, do I need to remove it? 3) Can I submit the battle log as a description of the battle? And how do I extract the log from the game? 4) Probably the most obvious question... how do I record a replay of the battle?

1. I think it's possible (since you can't do better yourself). 2. If the mod doesn't affect the parameters of the game mechanics (doesn't change the parameters of creatures, heroes, magic, the influence of weeks, resource growth, construction in the city, etc.), then it's allowed. 3. I don't even know... in principle, if the outcome of the battle is clear (for example, it can even be won with auto-battle), then it's not necessary to describe it. You need to describe a difficult battle so that the organizer can follow your instructions. 4. When the result of the battle is shown, there is a button to either save the replay or save the battle.

I would also like to mention, so you don't have to waste time searching for your replays, they are located in "My Documents" in the folder where the Heroes save files are stored, in the "Replays" folder.

I would also like to say, so you don't have to waste time searching for your replays, they are located in My Documents in the folder where the Heroes save files are stored, Replays.

2 Root of Evil
Sign me up))) The 5th Heroes game is my element.

You are registered as number 2, may you have plenty of delicious blood, Lord Vampire

Please sign me up. I want to participate in the battles:smile14:

- I would like to clarify whether this tournament is official.

Is it possible to use the "fast battle" option?

- Yes.

I have a mod installed - a hero customization mod, is it necessary to remove it?

- It's better to play without the mod. Just in case, if any questions arise. We don't know how the mod works.

Can I submit a battle log as a description of the battle? And how do I extract the log from the game?

- What kind of log?

- Finally, you're back. Why did you miss VK10?

log – messages displayed at the bottom during a battle. For example: Archers attacked Cerberuses – 110 damage, 20 creatures died. Axel casts Blessing. and so on.

Please sign me up. I want to participate:smile14:

You have been registered as number 3.
Good luck in the tournament.

2 Kamikaze I think it's not official... but we can ask Kyle to clarify.

2 Kamikaze. There was no 1.6, no computer, no time. And I don't have any of that now.)) I'm going home for New Year's. And there will be a computer, time, and I bought 3.0.)) P.S. I'm glad that at least someone still remembers me.)) And luck is the destiny of Elves.)) Vampires only need blood!))

How could we forget – winners are never forgotten! ;)
And I happen to be from the Elven lands, so we are "sworn enemies" :D

This is something to ask the coordinators. If you prove the validity of your arguments in favor of the tournament, or if the administration agrees to help with its organization, then the tournament will become official, but for now...

Thank you, I understand. By the way, it's a very good idea. If only it were possible!

2 Kamikaze. Do you remember?)) There might not be any winners.)) But the reward has been given for half a year already. This medal still hasn't reached me (((Are you an Elf? Nice to hear that.)) So, submit an application for the tournament, let's play.))

Since I was invited to participate in an offline tournament for Heroes of Might and Magic V, I won’t refuse. Root of Evil, please add me to the tournament table; I will participate.

Please register me for this tournament.
