I sent the save file, got distracted by reading the Walkthrough, and forgot to attach the file in the first email. Then, it seems, some protection kicked in, and every attempt to send another email resulted in a message saying the address was unavailable. Therefore, I sent the email with the save file and apologies for the inconvenience from a different account. I request that the moderator take the time to review both.

Colleagues, I am announcing the preliminary schedule.
1. 01/15/2008, 23:59 - the final deadline for submitting save files.
2. 01/16/2008 - the map analysis by the creator of the assignment will be available in the School of Basic Skills for the second heroes (exclusively for participants of the School).
3. 01/17/2008 - most participants will receive most of the arenas.
4. 01/17/2008 - the moderator will post the parameters of the heroes and armies of all participants in the Tournaments in this thread.
5. 01/22/2008, 23:59 - the final deadline for submitting verdicts on the arenas.
6. 01/23/2008 - preliminary results will be summarized.
7. 01/28/2008, 12:00 - the final deadline for contesting the results of the Tournaments.
8. 01/31/2008 - the final results will be summarized.
I apologize again, but I strongly believe that any information about the Tournaments should be available to any participant after its completion, regardless of registration on other resources. Therefore, I request that the school administrators, if this information should remain exclusive, restrict my access to the school until it is available, or I will post it on both resources as soon as I can. My login in the school is nzr

I will discuss the matter with the dean. And once again, happy holidays! By the way, I have prepared a small gift for the upcoming birthday!

Colleagues, in order for your results to be recognized not only on our forum but also on the League, you need to register there.
So far, I have received 7 saves, 6 have been checked, 30 arenas have been completed, and 12 have been preliminarily awarded. There's still a lot to do...

Gentlemen, could you perhaps mark on the first page those who submitted their save files and whose submissions were accepted? If it's not too much trouble.

Yes, the arena is a challenging endeavor. Such a map requires a significant time investment; you can’t just breeze through it.

Yes, I know. I just wanted to see who among the applicants had already submitted their save files. Never mind. Everything will be clear tomorrow.

Something tells me I'm going to mess up on the 2nd portal.

Something tells me I'm going to embarrass myself on the 2 portals.
Why so quick to say you'll embarrass yourself? As in the Olympic movement, the main thing is participation. I'm participating for the first time, so I also have every chance of "embarrassing" myself.
The main thing is to have fun playing.

I apologize once again, but I firmly believe that any information about the tournament should be available to every participant after its completion, regardless of their registration on other resources.

We will not restrict anyone's access anywhere. But, I'm afraid you've misunderstood slightly. What Qwerty is going to publish is not information about the tournament that someone is trying to hide. Especially since the tournament is already over. It's his reflections on the map and the save file. Reflections made specifically for the school's students, so they can learn something. Everyone is free to publish their work wherever they want. And I simply cannot force Qwerty to duplicate this on all forums, which is why I'm not interfering. But copying and distributing such information would be, at the very least, inappropriate.
If such analyses were done after every tournament on every resource, or if the commentators were required to do them, then your claims would be logical and justified.
However, we have agreed with him that he will post his analysis here and on the League forum, but a little later, shortly before the preliminary results are announced. Would that be acceptable to you?

Yes, I sent my save file. But I only played for the last day and a half, so there's no way I can talk about any decent result. I'll be happy if I don't end up in last place.

With regret, I must inform you that the "stars of the second Heroes" – vbn, Alex_R, Nzol, Brennan – did not participate in the tournament... We missed you all very much... It's a great pity...
However, other renowned players did participate, and there are also some new names!
We're waiting for the arenas, and tomorrow I'll try to post the data for all the heroes entered into the arenas!

Ah, Sir Nzol, Sir Nzol. Should I challenge you to a duel? But I don't know how to play at speed.
As is tradition with the league arenas, I will start by boasting:
Main hero – Rialdo, 8, 3, 8, 90, luck +2.
2743 skeletons, 16 liches, 11 death knights, 50 zombies, a few gargoyles. Useful magic includes teleport and animate (with an enhancer).

Following the tradition of the league arenas, I’ll start boasting:
Hero - Rialdo, 8, 3, 8, 90, luck +2.
2743 skeletons, 16 liches, 11 Death Knights, 50 zombies, a few gargoyles. Useful magic includes teleport and animate (with an amplifier).
No need for sacrifices. It’s better to say “we’ll come to you.” :)
For the next arena, wherever it may be, I’ll try to sharpen my axe.

As is customary on the league arenas, I'll start by bragging:
Hero - Rialdo, 8, 3, 8, 90, luck +2.
2743 skeletons, 16 liches, 11 death knights, 50 zombies, a few gargoyles. Useful magic includes teleport and animate (with an enhancer).
If this can be considered bragging, I'll note that 2.7K is, of course, not bad, although far from ideal, but then my 2.3*2 is also not bad... so it turns out that it is! ;-)
Oh-oh-oh, how could such an experienced player as you forget about "Mirror Image" in such a situation. :-P

In general, I rate my run as terrible, the worst I've ever done:smile18:, because I didn't accomplish most of what I planned and could have implemented in this save due to various circumstances.

And where are your stars, who so zealously proved to me that I was wrong, that playing for 22 days is faster and not as stressful? I wonder why they didn't send anything... ;-)

2Nzol - It will be interesting to compete with you in the arena sometime... ;-)))

Oh dear, how could such an experienced player as you forget about "Mirror Image" in such a situation. :-P

In general, I rate my run as terrible, the worst I've ever done:smile18:, because I didn't accomplish most of what I planned and could have potentially achieved in this save due to various circumstances. Besides, considering the amount of mana, the presence of liches, and the possibility of encountering a wave of death or a holy word, the value of this spell is questionable.

And where are your stars, who were so eager to prove to me that I was wrong, that playing for 22 days is faster and less stressful? I wonder why they didn't send anything... ;-)

Does boasting always need to be put in quotation marks? About the clone - I didn't build much magic, I don't even remember which castle it was in. I simply didn't notice the scroll with TP, and without it, learning spells became problematic :) besides, the amount of mana, the possibility of encountering a wave of death or a holy word raises doubts about the value of this spell.

Same here. I didn't manage to do anything.

56 Elves, 999 Skeletons, 55 Gargoyles, blank, 5 Red Dragons. Artifacts +3 to defense, +5 to magic, cloak of cold resistance. Very little mana.
