To Dmitriy AS. Those little tricks... I just opened your saves and immediately realized, from Bron sitting in the boat, that the Oracle did indeed give 8888 gold. :(
And my flawed scouting said there wasn't any. Such a blunder right at the beginning of the game.

My result: 2 days, 18 stones, probably not very good...
I read about the other participants and realized that I missed some things...
But at the same time, I also found some things. I defeated the devil, summoned cannibals, 22 cannibals is a decent force for the beginning...
And then it started rolling, the gnome treasure, I already have 4 unicorns...
3 gem mines...
Yeah, I should have calculated everything cell by cell, so that by the end of the first week, there would be a good increase...
Thank you for such an interesting map, respect and kudos to the organizers!!!!

Why immediately say it's not very good? Here's mine - 3 days and 28 stones, and that was more than 2 weeks ago. I sent it without thinking, but there's still room for improvement.

2 SEM_56: Did you make a mistake or something? How did you get 4 unicorns in 2 days?

I should have spent more time on the map...
Judging by the kind of players who gathered here, it will be difficult to get into the top 8...
The computers bothered me a bit, but then I found a way to deal with them. Opening passages too early was not a good idea, but after incinerating both opponents, the gem income immediately increased, and the map was completed the next day...

Yes, sorry, it was a typo...
In general, you could have recruited more troops, including ogres, griffins, and unicorns. Someone also mentioned harpies. In short, you could have gathered a bit more meat...:smile20:

Preliminary results of the Heroes III "For Sale" off-line tournament.

News from Kostya:
1) Password for the archive with Dirty_Player's save:

2) On 26.07.08 he [Dirty_Player] will return and provide the final results of the tournament and the awarding of winners.

3) I'll tell you a secret :D, Kostya is very glad that many people liked the tournament and, without exaggeration, it was a success, and he plans to organize a new tournament, possibly the 8th stage of the annual Van Caneghem tournament on our portal.

Well, only two starting heroes have a lot of melee attack. And it would be problematic to kill Kilgor without Ogres ;-). 2 vbn: great news.

I'd like to offer some criticism of the organizer as well :), who suggested a map that was bound to attract a large number of participants – it's small, with tasks that aren't too difficult to complete, and offers a huge number of options. This factor played the main role in attracting Heroes players.
To Ley.
I managed to defeat Kilgor Ciel with a small squad of snipers and orcs, led by a wizard.

And I didn't build any dwellings in the cities at all. I killed all enemy heroes that way. I didn't kill the Devil and didn't recruit 22 ogres (in this particular playthrough).
Surprisingly, any of my level 1 heroes could kill any enemy hero without artifacts.

Yes, the results are certainly interesting. It's clear that this type of tournament isn't for me; it was my first time competing in the first tier...
Maybe someone could send me their save file so I can study it?

Preliminary results are 4 posts above.
I will upload save files for the end of the 1st and 2nd days, as well as before the battles with griffins and titans.
I killed the "Conservator" and titans using 1-1-1 Enova.

In the "Conservator" battle, I lost: 2 unicorns, 3 dwarves, 10 centaurs.
In the titans' battle, I lost: 1 angel, 1 wizard, 4 centaurs.

A description of the walkthrough will be provided later.

Analyzing save files won't provide much information; it's essential to also have a description of the gameplay tactics... because the number of actions per unit of time (i.e., in-game day) is overwhelming, and sifting through three dozen save files to step-by-step review the development of events is unlikely to be interesting... The tactics are in the description, and the key moments are in the save files. We're waiting for a description from the leader, basically... :)

I'll share, the results are certainly interesting. It's clear that this kind of Tournaments isn't for me; it's my first time in the top league...
Maybe someone could send their save file for analysis???
You most likely applied the online principle – gather a powerful core of troops and go straight for the opponent to ensure victory... In offline mode, you can replay ten times and eventually know the minimum number of troops needed to complete the game... eight of the most useful heroes are hired on the first day, two are put on a boat, and the rest go their separate ways, each doing what they were trained for, as they say... :)

And on the second day, some results are already visible...

Congratulations to all the tournament winners! I think there are several, and each has their own victory. :) P.S. This once again confirms the statement that a good online player will usually not disappoint in offline play. ;)

I, on the other hand, didn't go out on the water at all. Only later did I find out that Gem had the "summon boat" magic, as a result of which he exchanged a huge amount of resources for money..., but in general, I'm happy with my result :-). You can't climb to the podium with mistakes, but you can learn from them.

You most likely applied the online principle – gather a powerful core of troops and charge forward against the opponent to ensure victory... In offline mode, you can replay the game ten times and eventually know the minimum number of troops needed to complete it...

That's basically what happened; I upgraded the snipers and charged into battle. You say you buy 8 heroes, but it's hard to understand how they managed to defeat the dwarves and spearmen and then capture the Castle....
Yes, I received a huge reality check with these results...
Apparently, for me, this is just a game, and I still don't know much about the heroes...
And my tactic is always the same: gather troops, find a path to the target, kill the guards with minimal losses, and capture the Castle...
My result probably even makes people laugh...
I'm very upset that, after coming to this site, I turned out to be a complete novice :smile35: :smile06: :( :mad: :confused:
