Registration will be extended; this is almost certain.
Furthermore, players need time to practice before the tournament. Since each resource will submit maps according to its own judgment, first, balance testing is necessary, and then at least a superficial study of the maps by the players. In addition, a draw must also be conducted. So, the start date of the 25th is justified. Moreover, our French friends cannot start earlier.

Regarding the maps. The list that was presented is no longer entirely relevant, as each resource will submit maps according to its own discretion. I hope the maps will start arriving very soon. And you can be sure that an unbalanced map will not be accepted for the championship.

A special section has been created for the championship. You can find a general description, regulations, rules, and a constantly updated list of already registered players there.

The maps will be uploaded very soon. Register, ladies and gentlemen :)

No :) It is enough to be registered on HeroesWorld.

In the list of participants on the league, I don't see some players' ICQ numbers. How can I arrange a game with them (or will I find out later)?

The main communication methods are ICQ and MSN; in addition, a unified premium subnet has been created in Hamachi, and you can also communicate through it. There is also e-mail. :)

You can create an MSN account here:
https://accountservices.passport.net/reg.srf?_lang=RU&ct=1201567167&id=2&kv=0&ns=hotmail.com&ru=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2ehotmail%2emsn%2ecom%2fcgi%2dbin%2fsbox&sl=1&lc=1049

If anyone has any difficulties with MSN, contact the judges. We will help.

created a single premium subnet in Hamachi
I don't have a premium Hamachi account – will that be a problem? (sorry for the noob question, I don't have time to figure it out myself)

Email is very inconvenient; sometimes it's hard to even coordinate through ICQ :D

No, it won't be a problem.

Setting up MSN is quite easy; it takes only five minutes. I recommend Miranda as software because it can work with two protocols simultaneously.

You can install the premium version temporarily (it seems like for 30 days). It takes about 1 minute, I installed it myself the other day :)
But it's mainly needed to access the general chat! To simply send a message, the basic version is sufficient, the main thing is that this person is in Hamachi at that time!
Installing MSN is not difficult at all, it's a five-minute job. I recommend Miranda as software because it can work with two protocols simultaneously.
You're right, Oxygen, I went to the link and installed it in 5 minutes :) I haven't worked with MSN yet, but I don't think there will be any difficulties :)

To boost morale (no, you don't need to click the plus button, I'm not writing this for that :)) before the Championship and to provide another incentive to participate, I'm sharing something cool!
I personally really like it; maybe you will too! A possible future anthem for the 2008 World Championship:rolleyes:

In general, it's a song that fits the theme :) :smile23:

"Do you want to play a game" performed by Oxygen:smile20:

P.S. Thanks to STRANNiK for it:smile01:

Important information for tournament participants!

Unfortunately, due to forum overload issues, I couldn't post this earlier! :(

The maps that our portal proposed for the Championship have been changed!
The Around the World map has been removed. We felt that it did not meet the tournament requirements.
Instead, the Iron Man map has been chosen.
The Battle of Underground map also did not quite meet the requirements, so it has been significantly modified!

Many thanks to STRANNiK for editing the maps. :)

Thus, in the end, there will be 3 maps from HeroesWorld:
Showdown, Battle of Underground, and Iron Man.

I am providing all the changes that have been made!
STRANNiK, I hope you won't be offended if I post your quote ;)
1. Showdown.

Unnecessary skills (Charm, Summoning, Resurrection, Diplomacy, and Navigation), as well as Stealth, have been disabled.
Black dragons on the shore of the enemy's sea will give a weak hero the Expert Pathfinder skill.
The morale of all guard garrisons is 0.
In the ground, there are Rider's Gloves and Wanderer's Boots buried for both players.

2. Battle of Underground_WC08 (final ver.)

The original version has been significantly changed.
An unnecessary 2nd Castle has been removed.
Instead of the 2nd Castle, there are: a Tavern, a Level 4 Monster Lair, a Level 5 Shrine, 2 Shrines of other levels, as well as Shrines of Cancellation and Dispel.
The Lord in the Dungeon has a Grand Master of Nobility artifact, a Level 3 Spell Book, and other useful items.
One teacher and one tree have been added, and 2 unnecessary quests have been replaced with 8 chests of experience.
The War School has been replaced with 2 Altars of Battle and 2 Altars of Scouting.
One minor artifact has been replaced with a Level 2 Spell Book.
15 piles of gold have been added for each player to build Level 4 monsters in the city.
Level 2 neutrals have been moved away from the Vampire Bank and closer to the city to limit access to chests and resources.
A well has been placed in front of the guard of the Tavern and the Level 4 Monster Lair.
Some artifacts that the Lord possesses have been blocked to prevent their duplication.

Also blocked:
- All alignment shields (Shield of Chaos, Shield of Death, etc.)
- Angel's Blade
- Gloves and Boots

The guard has been significantly strengthened. Unnecessary skills and artifacts have been blocked.

3. Iron Man.

One change has been made to the original version. The Mirror of Pain has been disabled.
I will upload the archive with the maps during the day, as I simply don't have the opportunity to do so right now...

And finally: registration, as you all already know, is closed! Thank you very much to everyone who decided to participate in the Championship! :smile12:

Now all that remains is to study the maps, examine them (and examine them very carefully), practice, and ask any questions you have now, while the tournament has not yet begun! Read the rules carefully.
And my advice: play, play, and play Heroes IV, and specifically on Equilibris 3.51. Because playing on this version is still different from playing on War of the Whirlwind! I wish everyone enjoyment in preparing for the tournament and even more enjoyment in participating in it! :)

That's all for today... :)

Sincerely, Luchik!

Here is the long-awaited date: February 25th! The start of the 2008 World Championship!
I congratulate all Heroes 4 fans!

For those who will be playing against foreign players: I have uploaded a slightly updated archive of "Online Communication", created by STRANNuK, and I am very grateful to him! Read it, memorize it, and it's even better to keep it on your desktop so that it is always at hand! If there are any communication problems, contact our judge STRANNuK; if he is online at that time, he will definitely help. If not, contact me – I will try to help!

I hope everyone has prepared well for the tournament, and now all that remains is to play and get the most enjoyment!

I wish good luck and victories to all players!

Sincerely, Luchik!

Where is the game schedule? Or will we just play with whoever we can arrange a match with?


Барон "Vampires"

Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
