Posts from [HMM II TOURNAMENT OFF] The second stage of the Van Cunningham 2008 tournament. Auto-translated

I'm interested in visiting the pages dedicated to this map online. Please provide a link.

I hope this won't be taken as advertising: http://heroesportal.net/tavern/?forumid=56. From there, you can open the reports for past seasons and search for reports on this map manually.

Alright, fine, I'll play, go ahead and record it!!!

I'm back!!
I hope everyone already remembers the map with their eyes closed and we'll have lots and lots of excellent detailed walkthroughs!!!

2 Qwerty: Here, while you were away (is it okay to address you informally?), there was a discussion about whether it's allowed to play on the English version. I remember that on other tournaments, it was stated that playing on the English version wasn't prohibited. Now, there's no such statement. We haven't reached a consensus yet. What do you think about this? And also...

The demon's lair has been removed, and an event has been added, after which the game actually begins.

For some reason, no event occurs for me, and I don't see it in the editor either. What should happen?

The event is unclear to the stage organizer. It's not happening... the main question isn't about that. Buying the same hero on the same day for active turns is understandable. But what if you have enough money to buy 10 heroes to gather troops? The game, annoyingly, keeps suggesting dismissed heroes with persistence worthy of better use. Is it possible to buy the same hero a couple of times a day specifically for recruiting units?

The event has occurred. It already happened. The save was made AFTER the event.
You can play on the English version, yes. Of course, on a modern version, without bugs, etc. But for the future, I recommend getting a Russian version.

Do you have enough money to buy 10 heroes? 25,000? What prevents you from buying a hero and then recruiting another one under him? Are there already 7 heroes, or are the rest filled in by companions? If the game offers dismissed heroes, you need to force it to offer someone else. This process is called "digging for a hero," and some players use a program for this that is not prohibited by one of our forum members - vbn.
A hero can be bought twice a day, provided that he attacks someone and flees/pays a ransom. After that, he can be bought, but he cannot be used. This includes not being able to take even one step out of the castle! This also includes not being able to turn to the hero at the castle to exchange troops!!!!

in general, sarcasm is appropriate. I also think that something is wrong. The passage is too easy, and there's too much money. I'll try to improve the days and not have problems with excavations... I was just without internet for a week, and the new version of the hero-digger is missing... the old one glitched under XP... and doing it manually is... well, let's just say it's not fun. By the way, I would be grateful for information about the number of representatives of each hero class, or a link to it.

There are 9. But keep in mind that some have already been hired by the AI, and some are waiting in its tavern.

Is it possible to determine from the end-of-day save file which heroes a player hired, fired, fled with, and so on? Will only the total number of units acquired through mass hero purchases be checked, or is a record of each visit to the tavern required?

A provocative question.
Now, undoubtedly, a record of each visit to the tavern will be needed.

2 Romanuel
A detailed description of any given day may be required. If it is not provided OR if the host on the platinum version cannot repeat that day with an identical result, the save will not be accepted. Saves from the BEGINNING and END of each day are needed, except for the beginning of the first day (this is the starting save).
By the way, a save was definitely made before each hero excavation, so if necessary, you can provide those as well...

:smile24: Count me in too!!! I'll give it a try!!! But I'm warning you, I'm not a pro!!!:smile24:

As far as I know about the save file structure, it describes each of the 54 heroes. Therefore, if an action was performed on a specific hero, it will be reflected in the save file.

if an action was performed on a specific hero, then

I suggest we end the discussion on the topic of "whether it is possible to deceive the tournament organizer and how to do it: the main methods of catching violators and the optimal ways to avoid the evidence base by masking and disavowing the intermediate stages of actions, etc."
Otherwise, we will implement strict moderation by taking action against certain posts.
I repeat once again: the organizer can request save files from the beginning and end of each day with a detailed description of what and how was done, in order to obtain one save file from another. If it is not possible to repeat this on the Russian buggy version, then we apologize, the save file will not be counted. If there is an obvious deliberate deception, other measures will be taken.
In general, in the "multi-hero environment," it is usually customary to play fairly and correctly. I don't think we will have to deal with unpleasant nuances.
I hope for your understanding.

I read somewhere here that an event was added to the map that prevents the use of increased computer bonuses. However, I used one of those.
