Posts from [Tournaments HMM V OFF] "Lord of the Golems"

Hmm... my prediction of 51st place didn't come true =)
And now, a few questions for the participants:

play with heroes in such a way that on the 2nd day you get any Necromancer hero.

How is that possible? Does it mean that the specialty (race) of the hero appearing in the tavern depends on how you proceed with the heroes you already have? Could you provide more details about this dependency...

Ogre almost without losses defeats 12 Angels with mines, having, for example, 7x1 Gargoyles in the army, or it turns out that with 70 starting gold, you can defeat a garrison of 150 Golems...

I've seen several times that people are quite successful in using this spell... but it hasn't impressed me much...
Could you provide more details about the tactics of using it... or maybe someone has a replay of a battle that is won solely thanks to this spell?
Thank you in advance for your answers...

This is called "hero digging." That is, you can find almost any hero on the second day or any other day except the first, excluding those blocked by the organizer. This is done by performing different combinations, that is, actions with the heroes (moving, attacking, buying troops, etc.). If anyone is interested, I will write how it is done in the evening.

Sure, it’s interesting, share how it’s done.

I tried to record almost every battle, so as soon as I'm at my computer, I'll find a couple of saves. In the worst case, I can recreate a battle with 8 angels + 3 seraphim.
By the way, I used Minions to defeat all land-based neutral creatures that outnumbered me, as well as monsters of the 6th and 7th ranks.

Sign you up for what?))) The tournament is already over.)))

By the way, I used mines to defeat all the land-based neutral creatures that outnumbered me, as well as monsters of the 6th and 7th ranks.

That's exactly how it's done, and it's always been done that way. Because the total amount of damage that all the mines inflict with an average hero exceeds a thousand. They are especially good against large creatures, such as Archangels and Angels, which take damage from 4 mines at a time.

What do you mean? Does the specialty (race) of the hero appearing in the tavern depend on how you proceed with your existing heroes? Can you elaborate on this dependency?

You do everything you want to do on the first day, then skip a turn and see what they offer in the tavern. If they don't give you the hero you need, you reload the first day and do something different, for example, capture a mine if you didn't capture it before, or vice versa, if you captured it on the first attempt, then don't capture it. Then you skip a turn again and see what hero they give you. If it's still not the right one, you buy a different building in the castle, unlike other attempts. You move the hero in different directions (he's not the one you need, let him go where he wants, because the main hero you need will appear on the second day). Even if, after different hero movements to different locations, it doesn't help and they don't give you what you need, you can even send him to attack a strong squad so that he dies. Then, in the tavern, they will also give you a different hero, but before you send him to his death, take away his army, it will be useful. Well, that's basically how it works. You just make different combinations of possible actions on the first turn and see how it affects the second turn, or rather, how it affects the tavern and what hero they give you.

P.S. We should create a masterclass school for the 5th offline game

Congratulations to the winners. Thank you to the tournament organizers. This was my first time participating in an online Heroes tournament. I enjoyed it. I think I'll continue to do so. The result is somewhat comforting, even though it's only second to last, at least my hero turned out to be the most powerful. :) It's a pity that I exchanged gold and resources for mercury in the Castle, forgetting about the outpost. Otherwise, I might have been able to take first place instead of second in terms of mercury. :) I have a suggestion for the organizers of offline tournaments for future tournaments, maybe even the next one. :) A discussion of the proposed idea for a tournament plot among all fans of playing Heroes 5 is welcome. An idea for a plot for a future offline tournament for the fifth installment of Heroes. The map is close to the maximum possible size (it can be automatically generated). Castles with their lands are arranged in a chain of enclaves. The chain is not closed. The transition from one enclave to another is only possible via a stationary teleport or by going underground. All stationary teleports and underground passages are guarded by wild monsters of level 7. The map is for 2 heroes - the player and 1 computer opponent. The player and the computer opponent are located at different ends of the chain of lands. The computer opponent's hero cannot leave its enclave. But the computer opponent should have three to four mines of each resource in its enclave. In each of the remaining enclaves (including the player's enclave), only a third of the mines should be left. The computer opponent's faction is Dungeon. The starting Castle faction for the tournament participant is Necropolis or Sylvan (CHOSEN BY THE TOURNAMENT ORGANIZERS). For the tournament, use the same rules as for the "Lord of Golems" tournament, with the exception that any heroes can be purchased. The possibility of using the "Astral Gate" spell can be discussed. Make the opponent powerful - at least level 35-36 with good troops and give him a complete set of dragon artifacts (crown, cloak, necklace, armor, shield, sword, greaves, ring), which the player needs to capture. The player's tournament tasks: In the shortest possible time: 1. Defeat the computer opponent's hero and capture his complete set of special artifacts. 2. Level up ALL 8 of the participant's heroes to level 30. Completing both tasks is mandatory. Evaluation of results: Completion of both tasks in the shortest possible time. And a small element of random luck: If the number of days taken is the same, the participant with the most additional sets of artifacts will be given priority. Only complete sets of artifacts are counted. If the number of additional sets of artifacts is the same, the total number of simple artifacts in the sets of artifacts is evaluated.

Regarding organizing tournaments, that's no longer my responsibility. I must announce that I'm leaving... Tournaments will probably be organized by Ghost. It was a pleasure to host these two tournaments for you, and it was great to see so many people participating. I'm glad that I contributed to the popularity of Heroes of Might and Magic V on this site, which is what I wanted to achieve from the moment I joined. Thank you all, and see you later!

P.S. I won't be back soon...

Sincerely, Lord of Vampires

2. Level up all 8 of your heroes to level 30 for the competition.

Hmm, is that even theoretically possible? :confused:

P.S. We should create a masterclass school for Heroes of Might and Magic V!

This is actually a very good idea.
And, as far as I remember, someone tried to do something similar for Heroes of Might and Magic V. But for some reason, that thread died out...
In particular, I would be interested in reading about how to properly conduct scouting. And various tactical techniques in battles now have to be gleaned from various topics scattered across different sections, which is not very convenient. We need to systematize this somehow, but who will take on this task?...
In general, I think the idea of a school is timely and necessary. Sorry for the off-topic.

Kyle, it’s quite possible.
I personally leveled up a couple of heroes, two or three times, without cheating or using any auxiliary programs, to at least level 28. Only the internal hero development options are used. The leveling time is very optimal. It was possible to reach level 30, as after defeating the computer opponents, there were still neutral, unoccupied castles and territories not cleared of wild monsters on the maps.
The main condition is a very large map and many wild monsters, especially level 7.

The player's task in the Tournament:
In the shortest possible time:
1. Defeat a computer opponent's hero and capture their complete, unique set of artifacts.
2. Level up ALL 8 of the participant's heroes to level 30.

At this point, it won't be about what's possible or not... A lot is possible, but will it be interesting?? I'm 80% sure it won't be... I'll explain why:
1. As everyone already knows, you can't achieve a good result by playing only once on a map. Therefore:
2. Who will want to replay on a huge map even 2-3 times?... It's very long and tedious, so the rules need to be adjusted;)..
Furthermore... Who was asking when the next tournament will be? I'll answer:
The next tournament is the John Van Caningham tournament. I will have to organize it after 4 stages (with 4 heroes each). Luchik (the organizer of the 4th stage) said that her stage will end around June 1... And this is, in my opinion, bad! Most people will have exams and won't find time to play... Therefore, I will try to get the tournament postponed:...
And finally, I want to congratulate all the participants in the tournament and wish them good luck in the next ones!!! If you didn't get the place you really wanted, don't despair, everything is still ahead!!!:)...

yes, who will take on this task?

I suggest Psih - I myself have learned a lot from him... And I'm sure he has something to say.

Congratulations to all participants in the "Lord of Golems" tournament.
Psih, I didn't expect anything less from you...)))
But I was especially surprised by the results of my clanmate, Ghost... Honestly, I didn't expect that. It's his third official tournament, and he already took 2nd place - what a talent...
Kamikaze, now I know you're a serious opponent)))

Lord Vampire, respect to you for your interesting tournament... I'm looking forward to your next projects.

Sincerely, shaddar.

It's time to add this topic to the history of offline tournaments!
