Posts from [HMM II TOURNAMENT OFF] New Year Arena - 2008 Auto-translated

I've already sent the save file. There's no time left to improve it. I'm going back to work the day after tomorrow, and I have a lot of other things to do.

I'll still give it a try. Although, the 22-day limit didn't appeal to me. I couldn't come up with any sensible strategy; all I could do was run around and grab as much as possible, but it feels wrong to waste the time spent on exploration.

I kept experimenting with spells and realized that the first result was actually the best. Tomorrow I’ll send you the save file, possibly with a description.

I sent the save file. And in the end, I actually liked the time limit. Basically, from the very first day, it presents you with a tough choice: what to do!

Count me in. I'll try to make it. I'm registered on the HL website. Do I need to register on their forum for the tournament itself?

That's enough. Registration on the forum is for those who want to participate in discussions about the tournament, etc. And there is no tournament registration on HL, just send the save file to the specified email address. :-)

Regarding the extension. As for "it's difficult to agree" - there's nothing difficult about it. As for the extension itself - it's not a good idea, because the tournament is a fair competition, where the component of victory is not only the ability to skillfully analyze the save, see and implement a strategy, but also the ability to allocate one's personal time for it. But still, an extension can be considered in exceptional cases, for example, if many people don't have enough time because they had too much fun during the holidays and ended up not playing Heroes, and as a result, the tournament will suffer greatly from this. ;-) Personally, I haven't even looked at the save yet, although it contains the final of the League Championship against a very strong opponent, and I need to defend my title, but I am one of those who had a very good and varied rest during the holidays... Well, now it's time to pay the price. ;-)

I've already talked about the game time and the potential of the save for 22 days. ;-)

And indeed... I'm just getting into the rhythm of life, and then two mega-tournaments pop up, plus another one in stages. I think many won't have time, or maybe they'll manage "in a hurry," which doesn't necessarily mean it will be better.

You’re late to extend the registration. The tournament has already started!

Please add me to the table. Also, what is the tournament number for VSA in order?

Please add me to the table.

You have been added, your number is 18.

And what is the tournament number for VSA in order?

This tournament is number 7.

Good luck!

Please add me to the list of participants. I learned about the tournament on the Heroes League forum, where I am registered. There isn't much time left, but I will still give it a try.

Would you accept me into the tournament? I'll try to find some time for the arena, which is new to me. And I'd like to apologize to Preds for not participating in the 2007 arena on the League. "I just couldn't, I just couldn't" :)

Of course, I'll take it! And with great pleasure!

Well, quite a crowd has gathered here. :-)
It seems our "general gathering" is gaining momentum. Representatives from almost all the largest online resources are here. :-)

Will you include me in the tournament? I'll try to find some time for the arena, which is new to me.
And I'd like to apologize to Preds for not participating in the 2007 arena on the League. "Well, I couldn't, I just couldn't" :)

What kind of "apology" is that? :eek: - we'll sort things out in the arena :)
