Yeah... 8 days! My result is just not good enough.
Don't hide it, just tell us how long it took. People are worried:smile07:

The core concept is simple. The second-tier heroes differ from the third-tier heroes in that all purchased heroes have an army, rather than just one unit of the first level after the third hero. The attacking stack is formed from the army of these heroes plus the joining troops. Capturing empty castles and holding them...

Romanuel, with all due respect, I must point out that you have violated the Tournament Rules. Such information can be sent to the tournament organizers in a private message, but it is strictly prohibited to post it here until the submission of saves is complete!
Let's forget about it this time and pretend that no one saw anything...
Sorry, no ill intentions. I did this in two stages last year because something strange was happening with the email and the internet. It seems impossible to understand what is behind this. It's just a precaution.

and it's unclear whether my save reached its destination. It also covers 8 days. But a map can be completed in 7 days, I just didn't have time.

I wonder if I met Dust's expectations? ;) Did he predict such a result in those days? :)
As we already discussed, I predicted your result, and I believe that most good results should have appeared around days 8-9. But the excellent result of Fireball could only be predicted by looking at the save file in detail. Congratulations, there's always something to be surprised about! :-)

Everything is fine, the save file arrived. I will check it today or tomorrow, and if any questions arise, I will ask for daily save files. If it's not too much trouble, please send the walkthrough description to qwertyheroes@gmail.com. In principle, you can also send the save files, although at first glance, I have no questions about your walkthrough. Good game, excellent result!

Maybe I'm blind, but where is the "excellent result for Fireball"?
And in general, the number of saves, etc.

PS: I have 8 days, 9 stats, and 10 mercury.
After sending the save, I went to the School of Mastery and read about the oasis (+8 movement points), which I didn't even think about after Heroes of Might and Magic 1. And I could have been a couple of places higher, judging by the density of the results.

7-8-3. Although the parameters and mercury weren't optimized due to a tight deadline. I thought I wouldn't even play this stage, but on Monday, I had a relatively free day, so I played from morning till night. The final save is dated 23:38 Moscow time. Extreme, man.
it was only possible to predict by looking at the save in detail
I think 7 days is achievable with a fairly wide range of starting saves. Yes, there were some nice additions of fairies, thieves, and goblins. But I had to start as a Knight (which is not relevant here, that's why Qwerty said it was a difficult start), the guards weren't the most pleasant, and there were no Barbarians in the tavern, etc.

Colleagues, let's agree on the following.
Without the player's consent, I will not provide their save files to others. If the player agrees to show their save files to others, that's great, but it's their right to show them only to the judge.
The final save file of the winner must, of course, be available, but intermediate save files are the player's intellectual property...
Final save files of other players are provided upon request, and their provision is agreed upon with the authors.

I sent all the save files. I hope I organized them correctly by day. If everything works out, I'll post them here.

Thank you, I received everything. I'll take a look, although I repeat that at first glance, I have no questions about your walkthrough – it's a strong performance and a worthy result.

Legally, you are correct, but it would still be worth adding a rule to all Tournaments that was in effect in the first stage:
If a player suspects that their opponent has violated the rules, they have the right to contact the tournament organizer and request that the opponent send the save files of the game. The player who sends such a request must also send their daily save files to the coordinator.

Personally, I have supported, do support, and will continue to support the HW tradition of posting any save files upon request from forum members, especially regarding the earlier parts of the Heroes series, where the save files are small. Below is an archive that has already been sent to the respected Qwerty. It contains, as I think, all the key moments.

Excellent move! Please write a walkthrough; it will enrich our forum and help many fans of the second Heroes game improve their gameplay.
To be honest, your result exceeded my expectations.

to Fireball: I see that before the battle with the Fen, you had an army of 169 goblins and 29 orcs. After the battle, you had 113 goblins left! Tell me about your battle strategy; I had a similar army, but I lost more goblins.

I'm more interested in the tactics for fighting the yellow computer opponent.
