Everything about the starting save

1. Download the save.

2. The downloaded save must be placed in the GAMES folder of your installed Heroes 4 on your computer.

3. Load it and start the game at any time that is convenient for you, while remembering to make daily saves.

4. After completing the last action (after which the victory occurs), you must save again.

7. Send this save to the specified address (in the rules of this tournament).

8. Wait for the results to be announced.

Additional information: This map has an experimental nature. On this map, you do not need to fight and level up your hero. The goal is to find three specific gargoyle statues and approach them at the shortest distance. To unravel the secret of the Red Cube, you must approach these three statues in a specific sequence. The problem is that there are also 105 ordinary statues.

The tournament is organized with the support of Lu41k and takes place on a map created by me

I completed the tournament map in the minimum possible number of days. And if the results of the tournament participants show a smaller number of days than mine, then... figure it out for yourselves.
I should try it...
And does your editor run under *nix? Because all sorts of scripts like '1C', '1Zh' are displayed somewhat distorted, as if from DOS 866 or OEM.
:D

General ZeT, I've sent the save file. Let me know when you receive it, and don't forget to answer the previous question.

Alright, stop teasing. I didn't even understand what I said...
I'm just sitting here like a complete idiot, scribbling a program that will read all this stuff from the save file. And this is called 'playing'?
"I won't give you the map, I won't give you the map..."
Next time, just don't give me the save file! :D

What I meant was, if someone's save file shows that the game was completed in fewer days than mine, then that person didn't play fairly, i.e., they used cheat codes.

Hmm, but what if a cheater has exceptional mental strength and, after completing a map with the help of cheats, makes a few moves for a truthful result? I'm curious, how is the check even performed, because the save file only records the results at a given moment, and it's impossible to check the past...
P.S.
Only weak people use cheats; a professional knows how to not only win but also lose with dignity.

Hmm, what if a cheater has considerable mental strength and, after completing a map using cheats, skips several turns to achieve a truthful result? I'm curious about how the verification process actually works because the save file only records the results at a given moment, and it's impossible to check previous turns...

You are registered as number 12, good luck to you.
As for cheating, this is my map, and no one will complete it faster than me; they can only tie with me.

No, the statement is not sufficiently substantiated. It may be accepted, taking into account the specific features of the map, but even then, with reservations.

The same NW, for example, is also your creation, and a magnificent one, but... :)

Almost any check can be bypassed. Except for the one adopted here – providing save files and explanations if necessary.

Dear Undergrounder, I was only talking about this particular tournament. The goal of this tournament was to find three statues out of 108, and I completed this map in the minimum number of days and along the shortest route.
As for the first NW, I'm not arguing; you completed it better than I did. I didn't even think it was possible to complete that map so quickly. The only thing that remains a mystery to me is how you captured the city called "Guild of the Northern Wastes," the passage to which was blocked by 1000 gargoyles?

2KENNU, the easiest way to identify someone who used cheats is to load their save file, and after they win, instead of points, it says "cheater."

Psixxx, there are many programs that can be used to edit the save file in such a way that no words like "cheater" will appear, and the game can be completed in one day.

Here's one cheater who has already been identified.

A Necromancer can be easily identified by requesting save files for each battle and a description.
