"The Mystery of the Mage's Treasury"



Tournament Rules:
1. To participate in the off-line HoMM 5 tournament "The Mystery of the Mage's Treasury" 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 Dig up the Tear of Asha and build a unique structure in the starting Castle as quickly as possible; the result will be evaluated by the number of days.
Note: Opening the puzzle map is not necessary, i.e., you may dig for the tear blindly.
If several players have an equal number of days, the best will be determined by the sum of primary skills (Attack, Defense, Spellpower, Knowledge) TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EQUIPPED ARTIFACTS; if a favorite is still not determined, then by the amount of mercury.

4. In the tournament, the following are prohibited:

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

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

c) Discussion of the tournament on the forum during its duration is FORBIDDEN!!!(Players who violate this rule are automatically disqualified from playing the tournament; their results will not be counted and will be annulled).

d) Explicit spam, off-topic, flaming, etc. are prohibited in the thread. For violating this rule:
1st time – BD reduction.
2nd time – warnings issued on the profile.
3rd time – disqualification
Note: exceptions are possible.

e) Forbidden spell: "Astral Gate".

f) Forbidden heroes: Kaspar, Vlad, Deleb, Hafiz, Nura, Krag, Argath, Haggash, Telsek.

5. To start the game, you must download 2 archives: one contains the map, the other the save. Place the save 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. Launch the game and then Single Game-->Load.

6. The player is obliged to save intermediate saves for each game day during the tournament playthrough. Also, make replays of EVERY battle.
Intermediate saves/replays may be requested by the tournament host to verify the fairness of the playthrough. If a player is found to have used cheat codes, as well as errors or game features explicitly prohibited by the rules, the player will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

7. Along with the final save, players MUST submit battle replays against:
1. Phoenixes
2. Elementals
3. Ghosts

Note: this does not mean you should not make replays of battles with other monsters.

8. Send the final save to the email address prizrak_off_line@list.ru. The submitted save must contain your number in the participant table and your HeroesWorld nickname. Example: 1__Prizrak_.sav.
In the email itself, state your forum nickname, the number of days in which the map was completed, the hero's statistics (not counting morale and luck), and the amount of mercury.


9. The tournament starts on June 1st and will last until June 20th (inclusive). The results will be announced on June 26th, 2008.


PS. Don't forget to download the file "ReadMe.txt" and read it before starting the playthrough.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions.

1. What are replays?
Replays are recordings of the battles you have fought.
You can do it like this: after a battle, a window with losses pops up. In the lower left corner, there is a button - SAVE. Click on it and enter a name. Then save again.
2. How do I submit the RESULT?
Read paragraph "8".
3. You can't reload, correct?
You must not press the RESTART button. If you want to play the tournament again, you will need to load the initial save. It can be downloaded above.

It's time to start playing offline tournaments :) And the timing is right. Write to me, Ghost ;)

g) The following are prohibited in the topic: explicit flooding, off-topic posts, flaming, etc. Violation of this rule:
1st time – reduction of reputation points.
2nd time – a warning is issued in the profile.
3rd time – disqualification
Note: exceptions are possible.

Not that I'm against it... Flooding, off-topic posts, and flaming are prohibited throughout the forum, especially explicit ones, and you can "punish" other users for it without special instructions in the rules, IMHO. Except for disqualification. ;)

Well, if Tamara wants to be number 3, write me down as number 2 ;)

P.S. I'll play poorly because it's my first tournament, but we still need to start. :)
O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

It needs to be constantly kept in sight, that's when there might actually be some benefit... That's my opinion...

Added after 8 minutes
Sign me up too.
Fourth.. How they all come at once;);)... Good luck to everyone:)...

If possible, I'd like to join too, under number 666. Just kidding. But if no one objects, I'd prefer number 8. Otherwise, any number is fine.

_Prizrak_ and add me too. I also want to ask, if replays with Phoenix Elementals and Ghosts are mandatory, does that mean they are guarding the obelisks?

I think it's obvious, without any further explanation.
P.S. Ghost, please put me in the 20th or 5th slot.
