TOURNAMENT RULES

1. To participate in the first offline tournament, you must register on our website www.heroesworld.ru and also submit an application in this thread
2. The tournament is held on the Russian version of Heroes 5
3. Game version 1.0
4. The submitted save must contain the tournament number (1) and the player's Nickname
example 1_VDV_forever.sav
5. Along with the submitted save, it is mandatory to provide a description of the final step (battle with a hero, battle for a castle, capturing an artifact, defeating the last monster) after which victory occurs, or the walkthrough of the scenario.
6. The submitted save must have only one conqueror hero who performs the final action (others should simply be dismissed).
7. Patches, cheats, codes, mods, as well as additional programs that can change the game structure are FORBIDDEN!
8. Results will be evaluated primarily based on minimum time.
If several players have an equal completion time, the best will be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge); if a favorite is still not determined, then by the amount of mercury.
9. The conqueror hero in the submitted save must be without artifacts (they can be placed in the backpack or transferred to another hero who should then be dismissed).
10. Ashi's Tear can only be dug up when the puzzle map is fully opened (this will not happen in this tournament).
11. Send the save to the email address h5_tournament@heroesworld.ru
12. Applications are accepted until June 19, 2006. If you're late, you've missed out
13. In case of suspicion of cheating or other malicious intent during the map completion, a save must be made every game day.
P.S. In such a case (detection of cheating), the player will be required to send additional saves and provide a walkthrough description to determine whether the play was unfair or fair.
The result of a player who played unfairly will be voided and their reputation on our site will be "morale down"!
14. Discussion of the tournament during its progress is FORBIDDEN!!!
(Players violating this rule automatically lose the opportunity to play in the tournament; their results will not be counted and will be annulled).
15. The tournament starts on the 19th and will last for 19 days. Results will be announced 19 days after its conclusion. [You can still apply and participate in the competitions within 5 days after the start of the tournament, i.e., until 00:00 (GMT) 25.06.06]
16. After receiving your save, we will notify you of receipt via your mailbox on our website www.heroesworld.ru

17*. For this tournament:

If you killed the main opponent Gilraen and then completed the following task (killed the last weak hero, captured a castle, or something else) after which absolute victory occurs, the description of the battle with Gilraen MUST be sent together with the save!!! That is, in this case, you will have to provide 2 descriptions (instead of one):
a) battle with Gilraen
b) final winning step

The description should look approximately like this:
Attacking Gilraen with hero Agrail.
Agrail has:
Level N,
army size.
Gilraen has:
Level N,
army size.
And then describe the battle itself.

Tournament Sponsor Respected ADMIN!!!

P.S. I wish all tournament participants a great time gaming and, most importantly, VICTORY!

Everything about the starting save

Starting Save

From 19.06.06 the save can be downloaded:
1st mirror
2nd mirror

1. The save that will be posted on our site (19.06.06) must be downloaded and placed on your computer in the following folder C:\Documents and Settings\VDV_forever\My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Profiles\VDV_forever\Saves[br][/br]2. Naturally, everyone has their own nickname, so in each individual case it will be approximately: C:\Documents and Settings\X\My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Profiles\X\Saves[br][/br>where X is simply the name under which you usually play
3. Load 19.06.06_offline.sav and start playing, making daily saves.
4. After reaching the final action (after which victory occurs), save again.
5. With the final save, describe this last step in detail (most likely a battle); then the results will be tallied faster and there will be fewer suspicions of cheating!!!
6. Send this save to the specified address (in the rules of this tournament).
7. Wait for the results.

The starting save was generated from the "Conquest" map (3rd map) of the standard campaign for the Inferno faction (2nd campaign).

The question marks in the player rank column will be changed to numbers once we come up with a functional rank calculation scheme. Then we will try to get it approved by our respected ADMIN!

The asterisks in the Map Description column will be replaced by numbers when the voting results are tallied!

P.S. See my rank scheme in the corresponding section.

ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION AND MYSELF PERSONALLY, I CONGRATULATE Shoot-nick ON A WELL-DESERVED VICTORY!!!

Sincerely VDV_forever

Guys, help me out, where should I put the save file? What do I need to do to get it to work???:confused: :confused: :confused:

Maybe you have version 1.1, which is why the save file isn't compatible. Or maybe you're downloading it from the wrong place (it should be from the single-player game). But it seems like you're doing everything correctly. Does the game not recognize the save file at all, or does it crash when you try to load it?

Guys, I've tried everything – reinstalling, etc. – but nothing helps. Maybe I'm saving the game in the wrong place? I think I'm putting it in the right folder: Heroes5\profiles\BAX\Saves, but when I click "Load," nothing happens. I'm getting really frustrated. I want to participate!

You need to save the game here:

...\My Documents\My Games\Heroes Of Might And Magic V\Profiles[your profile name]\Saves[br][/br]or
...\Мои Документы\My Games\Heroes Of Might And Magic V\Profiles[Your profile name]\Saves\

If a map is designed to be played on patch 1.1, can it be played on that version?

Dear friends, if it's not against the rules, please provide a list of what needs to be done to complete the map (because my text is messy and I can't understand anything:mad:). I've already conquered the entire map, defeated everyone I could, but the mission doesn't end! What should I do?:confused:
Sincerely, always yours, Evil Hearted

2 Paladin: The fan is right... it's due to a mismatch in the translation versions... I have a pirated version of Heroes, but with a patched translation... send me your email in a private message, and I'll send it to you with installation instructions; it takes up about 1 GB in a RAR archive.

Dear sir, please send me the translation as well, if it's not too much trouble. doberman76@mail.ru
Thank you in advance!!!

Hedgehog in the Fog

If a map is designed for patch 1.1, can it be played on that patch?

The rules state:

3. Game version 1.0

therefore, it is NOT ALLOWED!!!

Sincerely, Evil Hearted

You need to not only "defeat" the enemy, as you say, but also break through the blockade of trees and the last invisible army of forest dwellers (when attacking the druids).

This "blockade" is located slightly above the middle of the map, at the top!!!
It's hard

So, I have a question...
I need to send a save file with the last step, but I can't seem to do it. I defeated Gilieran, and I have a save file before that battle. I captured the last Elven city, and I can send that save file too. I destroyed the Elves' source of power, and I have a save file for that as well, but there's nothing after that... The game doesn't put a checkmark next to the goal *defeat the evil elf*, even though a couple of days after destroying the source of power, the game says - the green player has been defeated. What should I do?

P.S. SkillWhell rocks!

:) :) :)
Most likely, there's a sneaky, invisible elf somewhere, who, of course, disappears after you've captured all his castles for a week.
He's probably scared:D :D :D.
I've seen this happen before, but on a different map. It's best to look for him; he's definitely somewhere. But if you still can't find him :), you need to send the final save file (any action leading to victory, including skipping a turn), where the game finally says you've won, i.e., after two days!

P.S. Don't forget to describe the battle with Gilieran in detail.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Here's a Russian localization for Heroes 5 for everyone who needs it. http://k0lbazzer.hotmail.ru/ P.S. It was made in a hurry... just so that the files could be downloaded. :)

Added 5 minutes later
I have a question. What if you don't save every day, but, for example, at the end of each week... is that not the best time (end of the week) to save... for the increase in strength and everything else? Because if the computer isn't that fast, it takes a long time to save... you can even fall asleep... and if you save every day,

I have a question of this nature.
What if I don't make saves every day... but, for example, at the end of each week... since that is the most appropriate moment (end of week)... for growth and all that.
Because if the PC isn't very fast... it takes so long to save... that one could actually fall asleep... and if I do them every day... then it's a total disaster :)

What if you finish faster than everyone else;) . We might need all your saves:) , to evaluate the honesty of your Walkthrough:) .
Therefore, make saves every day!!! And so that saving doesn't take long, move completed saves to another location (say, to folder D:\турнир\мои сэйвы\), so that you have no more than 10 saves within the game itself. That way, loading will go much faster.;)
