The first stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Memorial Tournament

TOURNAMENT RULES

1. To participate in this Heroes 1 "Dragon Pass" tournament, you must register on our website www.heroesworld.ru and submit an application in this thread.

This tournament is part of the general John van Caneghem Memorial Tournament, so all information, as well as the conduct and results, will be displayed in this section.

John Van Caneghem Memorial Tournament at HeroesWorld

Note: The final results of the tournament will also be available in the offline Heroes 1 tournaments section.

2. The tournament will be played on the Russian version of Heroes 1 from Buky. The save file will be generated on the Russian version 1.1.

3. The goal of the game is to defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time.
The submitted save file must contain the abbreviation (VC - van Caneghem) and the player's nickname.

Example:

VC_Kamikaze.GM1 or VC-Kamikaze.GM1

4. The result will primarily be evaluated based on the minimum time taken.
If several players have equal completion times, the best one will be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge), INCLUDING WORN ARTIFACTS; if a favorite still cannot be determined, it will be based on the amount of mercury.

5. Along with the submitted save file, you must include a description of the last step (battle with a hero, battle for a castle, capturing an artifact, defeating the last monster) after which victory occurs, or the scenario is completed.

6. The submitted save file may have multiple heroes; the sum of characteristics is calculated for the strongest one.

7. You can read the rules for passing the save here.

8. Send the save file to the email address Kamikaze.

9. In case of suspicion that a player is cheating or has other malicious intent while playing the map, it is necessary to make a save every game day.
In this case (detection of cheating), the player will be required to send additional saves and provide a description of the gameplay to determine whether the game was fair or not, to the tournament organizer.
The result of a player who played unfairly will be canceled, and their further participation in tournaments will be impossible. This will also affect their reputation negatively.

10. Discussion of the tournament during its course is PROHIBITED!!!
(Players who violate this rule will automatically lose the opportunity to play in the tournament; their results will not be counted and will be annulled).

11. The tournament starts on February 17th and lasts until March 10th (inclusive!). The results will be announced on March 14, 2008.

12. After you submit your save file, you will see in the application table that:

save accepted - indicated by a bold nickname.
save approved - indicated by an italicized - bold nickname.

We invite everyone to participate in the tournament!

Save files will only be considered from players who are listed in this table, so please submit your applications IN ADVANCE!!!

All about the starting save

Starting save

Starting save:

Map from which the save was generated:

1. Download the save file.

2. You need to place the downloaded save file in the GAMES folder of your installed Heroes 1 game on your computer.

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

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

5. With the final save, provide a detailed description of the last step (most likely the battle); this will speed up the results and reduce suspicion of cheating!!!

6. A complete description of the tournament map is encouraged (not required). If there are such descriptions, a competition will be held for the best description. The top five will take their rightful place in the "Feats of Our Best Heroes" section!

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

8. Wait for the results to be announced.

P.S. I wish all participants an enjoyable game and most importantly VICTORY!

P.S.S. If there are additions or comments, please do not hesitate to express them so as to minimize disagreements and shortcomings during the tournament process.

Always yours, Kamikaze.

We are waiting for the winner's save files, a selection of about 10-15, as they don't take up much space.

I see you tackled the dragon levels; I didn't even think about trying to beat them, but I'm a little envious that you didn't finish in 5 days. Congratulations, Nzol! I didn't think it was possible to complete it in 2 days; I thought the maximum would be 3 days.

All the main tasks, including the destruction of the dragons, were completed on the 2nd day.
The first day was spent on preparation and leveling up 2 heroes.
P.S. I've become completely blind; I didn't see the artifact that boosts morale. :( Where was it located, at least?

As always, Nzol is excellent!

Please upload the save files and provide a description, if you have the time. And of course, the save file before the attack on the dragons, with a description of the battle itself. All of this will be included in a single reference guide for Heroes 1, which is already 99% complete, and as I promised, it will be released no later than March 29th, unless something extraordinary happens.;)

Your save file with the super battle against the paladins (before the portal) has already been included there;)

For some reason, I couldn't find a message from VDV_Forever in my inbox. Perhaps it got buried under a pile of other messages...

For some reason, I didn't find a message from VDV_Forever in my inbox.
It probably got buried...

It's solely due to a lack of time:(.
I looked at the map and, after scouting, realized that the map can be completed in 2 days, but this requires some serious brainpower.
Right now, I'm most concerned about the guide, and all my free time has been devoted to it. I hope I don't disappoint the fans of "Heroes of Might and Magic I," i.e., all of you. A lot of time has been spent on this project...

Currently, this project is in the approval and testing phase. May God grant health to our Creator!

I really hope that by March 29th, a new website dedicated exclusively to Heroes of Might and Magic I will be launched, and nothing else!

P.S. I'll try to open the 5th stage of the "Companionship" tournament on the 13th, so I invite everyone in advance!

Will you participate in the next stage of the Warlock competition? =))) So you can provide some competition for others=)

It all depends on the time.;). In any case, I will try to participate in it. We'll have some more battles.:smile49:

I just need to finish the project I started 4 months ago and see it in its entirety on the website that will be located on the domain www.heroesworld.ru. And also get feedback from all interested forum users and fans of Heroes 1 about it.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

basically, the entire map is covered in ash... not only can you finish it in 2 days, but you can also grab a lot more stats in just 3 turns.

Thank you all for the congratulations and the worthy competition for first place.

We are waiting for the winner's saves, a summary, so to speak, of 10-15 pieces, as they don't weigh much.

Are you kidding, my dear?! :confused: Where am I going to find 10-15 important saves from my 2-day playthrough on this map? This isn't Heroes 4! I think the saves from the end of the first day and the attack on the dragons will be enough to show everything. :) Main battle: 1) Wolves skip their turn, goblins finish off the wounded dragon and heavily injure the 3rd, orcs skip their turn. After 1 round, we lose some goblins, a wolf, and about half of the orcs. 2) Goblins destroy 3 dragons and injure the 4th in retaliation, orcs skip their turn. At least 1 orc should remain. 3) The 5th dragon attacks the goblins and 4) dies on their turn. About 100 goblins remain against dragon #2. 5) Then, hand-to-hand combat, where the goblins slaughter the lizard in 3 spear attacks. About 30-40 goblins should remain, which is enough to capture the knight's castle.

Well, darn... at most, 4.5 lizards die... tomorrow we'll train some more =)). ;) Yes, this will be more challenging than my battle.

I think, based on the saves from the end of the first day and the dragon attacks, everything will become clear.

I already understood in theory how to manage two days, but I couldn't do it (at least not immediately, I didn't have the skill to complete everything to the maximum in 1.5 evenings). I couldn't complete the thieves, hydras, and ogres without losses (apparently, I wasn't distributing the troops correctly), and therefore, I definitely didn't have enough strength to capture the warlock. So, please, provide more saves before these battles, preferably with a brief description, because you still have all your gargoyles and kents.

Okay, I'll post it now. Although, I assure you, you're looking in the wrong place. In my walkthrough up to the dragons, the most important thing was to not lose the goblins and orcs, and everything else was almost useless fodder needed only to capture the Sorceress Castle. Because the hero emerging from this castle would capture the wizard's castle and transfer his army to another hero. This army was sufficient to kill the wizard hero. A) Krodo against thieves: 1. Gargoyles – pass, wolves – pass, goblins – 7 thieves, centaurs – 3 (4) thieves, orcs – 7 thieves. 2. Thieves attack orcs, gargoyles – 3 thieves, wolves – 6 thieves, goblins – 3 thieves, finish off the last stack. B) Sundax against goblins: (I just played this, and it went without any losses – the orcs just stood there) 1. Orcs – 5 (6) goblins; 2. goblins – 8 goblins, orcs – 6 (7) goblins; 3. orcs – 2 (3) goblins, goblins – 2 goblins, orcs – 6 goblins. 4. – 1 of your own goblin, goblins – 2 goblins, and – 8 goblins. C) Kregg against ogres: 1. Volley fire at ogre #3 (-1); 2. Centaurs attack #3 (-1), orcs attack #1 (-1); 3. Centaurs and orcs attack #1 (-1 or -2); 4. Finish off the centaurs with gargoyles, goblins attack #5 (-2), centaurs attack #1 (if any remain) or #2, orcs attack #2 (-1); then shoot down #3, #2, and #4 one by one. Ergon against hydras: D) 1. Volley fire at #3; 2. Centaurs attack #3 (-1), orcs attack #1; 3. Gargoyles block the passage, goblins attack #5 (-1), centaurs attack #3, orcs attack #1 (-1); 4. Gargoyles fly away, goblins attack #4 (-1), orcs attack #1 (-1). Then, finish off the remaining enemies with orcs and goblins. I hope I explained everything thoroughly?

2 Nzol: I have a purely theoretical question: If you kill the dragons on the first day, is it possible to achieve victory without giving the opponent a turn?

B) Sundax vs. Goblins: (I just played this, and it went without any losses – the Orcs were defeated) 1. Orcs – 5 (6) Goblins; 2. Goblins – 8 Goblins, Orcs – 6 (7) Goblins; 3. Orcs – 2 (3) Goblins, Goblins – 2 Goblins, Orcs – 6 Goblins. 4. – 1 of your Goblins, Goblins – 2 Goblins and – 8 Goblins. C) Kregg vs. Ogres: 1. Volley attack on Ogre #3 (-1); 2. Centaurs attack #3 (-1), Orcs attack #1 (-1); 3. Centaurs and Orcs attack #1 (-1 or -2); 4. Gargoyles block the Centaurs, Goblins #5 (-2), Centaurs attack #1 (if any remain) or #2, Orcs attack #2 (-1); then finish off #3, #2, and #4 one by one. Ergon vs. Hydras: D) 1. Volley attack on #3; 2. Centaurs attack #3 (-1), Orcs attack #1; 3. Gargoyles block the passage, Goblins #5 (-1), Centaurs attack #3, Orcs attack #1 (-1); 4. Gargoyles retreat, Goblins #4 (-1), Orcs #1 (-1). Then, finish off the remaining enemies with Orcs and Goblins. I hope I explained everything thoroughly?

Thank you very much, it was more than thorough. I understand that next time I need to be more careful and aggressive in battles.

2 Nzol:
I have a purely theoretical question:
If you kill the dragons on the first day, is it possible to achieve victory without letting the opponent make a move?

No way. It takes 2 days to reach the nearest enemy castle. :)
