1. To participate in the same-game off-line tournament for Heroes 5 "Golem Lord", you must register on our website and also leave an application in this thread.

2. The tournament is held on the Russian version of Heroes 5 from 1C, game version 3.0. The save was generated on the Russian version 3.0.

3. The goal of the game is to kill the enemy as quickly as possible; the result will be evaluated by the number of days.
If several players have an equal number of days, the winner will be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) INCLUDING EQUIPPED ARTIFACTS; if a favorite is still not determined, then by the amount of mercury.

4. The following are prohibited in the tournament:

a) Using cheats, codes, mods, as well as additional programs that can change the game structure during a "clean" Walkthrough.

b) Restarting or any other modification of the starting save is prohibited.

c) DISCUSSION OF THE TOURNAMENT ON THE FORUM DURING ITS PROGRESS IS PROHIBITED!!!
(Players who violate this rule automatically disqualify themselves from playing in the tournament; their results will not be counted and will be annulled).

d) Prohibited spell "Astral Gates"

e) Prohibited heroes - Caspar, Vlad, Deleb, Hafiz, Nura, All Orcs

5. To start playing, you must download the archive containing the map and save. The save should be placed in the directory My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V — Tribes of the East\Profiles\Your profile\Saves. Place the map in the Maps directory in the game's root folder. Enter the game and then go to Single Player-->Load

6. During the tournament Walkthrough, the player is required to save intermediate saves for each game day. Also, make replays of EVERY battle.
Intermediate saves/replays may be requested by the tournament organizer to verify the honesty of the run. If the use of cheat codes is detected, as well as errors and game features explicitly mentioned in the rules as prohibited, the player will be immediately excluded from the tournament.

7. Along with the final save, players are required to send a description of the tactics for the final battle (the more difficult the battle, the more detailed).
If the win depends on morale\luck rolls\certain actions of computer players, a full description of the battle is required—one that allows it to be repeated.
It is also desirable to send a replay of the final battle. Especially if it is quite difficult and cannot be won via auto-battle.

8. Send the final save to the email address Lord_Vampire15@mail.ru. The sent save should include the participant number from the application table and the player's Nick. Example: 1_Lord Vampire.sav. In the letter, specify your forum nick, the number of days it took to complete the map, hero stats (excluding morale and luck), and the amount of mercury.

9. The tournament starts on April 5 (this is not a joke) and will last until April 25 (inclusive). The result will be announced on April 30, 2008.

I sent the save file; waiting for confirmation. :smile18:

P.S. Others would have just given up on it. :smile10:

It's like it was written about me.
I sincerely apologize, but I won't have a save file.
To be honest, I started playing quite late (around the 22nd) and only for about 2 hours a day. Considering the old hardware, long battles, and a catastrophic lack of time, I simply won't have time to finish it within the remaining time.
I apologize. I wanted to send at least what I could manage, but, unfortunately, I won't be able to.
This won't happen again.
PS. And the golem is really just a walking machine. It doesn't kill anything or anyone except for time. (please don't consider this a discussion about the tournament)

Uranist, since you're a newbie, I'll let it slide this time. You can't discuss the tournament before it ends! There aren't as many saves as I'd like. There's still time; send them in!

The tournament is over... We're waiting for the results...

Well, it seems like it's possible now. My result isn't the worst; it took me 12 days. I could have done it in 10-11 days, but I didn't have time to replay.

Basically, I sent the save file late in the evening. I understood the map's trick, but very late, so the save isn't one of the best, but it's not among the worst either. It's something in between.

The first time, I played for fun and also explored the entire map... it took about 2+ months... Ora was level 27... :)
The second time, I decided to play a clean game and was thinking about which hero to level up – a Necromancer or a Mage... the Necromancer has the ability to gather monsters of a certain level using dark energy, and you can also convert Mage units at the altar. In the end, I decided to level up both and noticed that the Necromancer levels up noticeably slower... and when, on about the 20th day, I had both heroes leveled up and saw that Ora could defeat 12 Angels with minimal losses using mines, and that with an army of, for example, 7x1 Gargoyles, or that you can defeat a garrison of 150 Golems with 70 starting Gremlins... this slightly discouraged me, and I didn't have enough time for a third attempt... although I was aiming for a result in 21-22 days.

What, what??? 12 days – is that even possible in this tournament? Or am I missing something? I defeated that Golem Lord on day 66; I could have done it earlier. I could have, but I didn't. Now, let's get to the discussion:)
I defeated those golems on day 8. Uranist was a little ahead of me. They are easily defeated with one Obsidian Gargoyle. There's an interesting tactic called the "evasion tactic." The main thing is that your creature's speed is 3 or more higher than the enemy's, and its initiative is somewhat higher. Then, with this gargoyle, you just fly around the entire field, making sure the golems don't get within 1 step. We also attack the Zealots on silver. Free experience is a good thing.
There's one bug there. Well, I think everyone noticed it. It's the unprotected Gem Mine; the Zealots are positioned awkwardly there.
I didn't develop the Undead faction much. By the end of the game, I only had Archers, Zombies, Specters, Vampires, and Death Knights. The only benefit of the Undead was that they captured the Sawmill, Mine, and Crystal Mine (Oroy didn't go for the Forest Archers at all; they were defeating my Golems even in the late game, 80 creatures at a time).
For some, this is normal, but for me, having Colossi on the 3rd week, right on the 20th day, is very cool! Especially on a hero. In Veteran difficulty, they only appear on the 4th week for me.
I couldn't defeat the Golem Lord! With 8 Titans, 30+ Mages, and many Golems! I had to replay a bit. They kept reaching my units and defeating them with one hit! And I couldn't finish them off; there were too many. But after waiting just a week and a few days, I defeated him! And I completely crushed him! I only attacked the Golems. Then the Golems. And with my units, I destroyed the cart first.
I've lost my inspiration to write; maybe I'll say something else later:)
Thanks again; the tournament is really interesting!

Added after 8 minutes
P.S. I used to underestimate the Fire Trap. Now I understand that with good spellcasting and skillful summoning magic, it's just a level 11 creature. I mined the map; no one survived!
P.S. P.S. No, explain how it's possible to complete this tournament in 20 days?!

Generally, this tournament can be completed in a maximum of 9-10 days if you put your mind to it and try to combine tactics, choose the right heroes, and use a garrison with golems – it really falls on the second day; I tried it myself, although it takes a long time and requires meticulous effort. I honestly blocked 460 of Razazak's gremlins with 269 units!

Wow, that's something! On the 9th day! How is that even possible? You can't even reach the Overlord in 9 days! It's all clear now. I came in last place. Please explain how this happened. Angels will tear everyone apart; they fly quickly. The Overlord has 500 gremlins, and they destroy everyone! And I'm not even talking about the golems.

I cleared these golems on day 8; Uranist was a bit ahead of me. They are easily defeated by a single obsidian gargoyle. There's an interesting tactic called the "evasion tactic." The main thing is that your creature's speed should be 3 or more higher than the enemy's, and its initiative should be somewhat higher.

You cleared them a bit late... I use this tactic to defeat all non-speedy creatures....

Wow! On the 9th day! How is that possible? You can't even reach the Overlord in 9 days! Everything is clear. I came in last place. Please explain how this is possible? Angels will tear everyone apart; they fly fast. The Overlord has 500 gremlins, and they defeat everyone! Not to mention the golems.

Angels will suffer losses, with a maximum of 2 gremlins lost.... I used the Summon Fire Elementals and Raise Dead spells (or mines, if you prefer).

I controlled the gremlins, and they helped me defeat the golems, taking out 33-36 at a time, and I countered the golems with djinn.

Well, first, you need to decide on a hero, then level him up as quickly as possible. You also need the Subjugation spell; you need to experiment with buildings in the city. I realized this a bit too late. Angels aren't that strong. I personally summoned a Phoenix, and things started to go well. Also, when I didn't have time to achieve a better result, I used Elementals to cover the Grem, and they provided fire support. There are some who use Ghosts, taking them out one by one and raising them from the dead. Then comes the battle with Razazak; you need to be cunning here. I actually acted differently, but it could have been easier if I had Subjugation. Cast it on his Grem, and with a successful attack, they destroy 32-40 of his Golems + summon Elementals - Fire Elementals on the battlefield. I had 39, although you can have even more, up to 50. Then, use Grem - the longer they attack the Golems, the faster they can block them, even if the Golems have 10,000 health and the Grem only have 1,000.

P.S. Lord, I would like to know how many players submitted their save files

So, I'm here telling you the simplest truths about some tactics for escaping, and you complete a tournament in 10 days:)
Thanks, Neo! I understand approximately. I'll try to play again later. And is there hypnosis in the 5th guild of mages? Lord, is this done intentionally, or did this happen by chance?
P.S. I'll be on my computer, so everyone will get a bonus ;)

I could have done it in 9-10 days, but I didn't have enough time; I started too late. I could have even skipped those 2 hours with Lord and just gone to sleep without questions, so I didn't have time to improve, but the result I sent is still decent. In the guild, it will take a long time; in Utopia, you need to take the expensive option. To be able to take control, you need skilled dark magic and experiment with buildings in the city.

There are many options you can try on the map; I also didn't have enough time, but the result is still good... You could have taken control with 3 magic towers built... You could also add more artifacts...

Overall, the result is 18 days, 44 parameters, and 30 mercury, and I was attacking Razarr with ships...

I couldn't manage to conquer Utopia on days 8-9, and I've been struggling with it for the past two days because I only had 3-4 days to complete the map. I could only kill a maximum of 15 dragons, and without subduing them, it's impossible to progress quickly. I would be grateful if someone could send me a replay of conquering Utopia. It's a shame that I couldn't finish the map; I managed to develop the hero to level 14 or 15 in 8 days.
