I sent the save file with improvements. I apologize for bothering the judges several times with my repeated submissions of save files. Next time, I will try to send the save file only once. This is my first tournament in the 2-player mode, and each time I thought the result was optimal, but the next day I would think about how I could still improve it...

2wolf64: I also think every time that the result is the best possible, but then new ideas appear, and accordingly, improvements are made. It's embarrassing to admit, but I considered my first result to be quite good. Now, a significant amount of time has passed! :o

It seems like there are only two of us participating.
Alex, please be more specific in your posts! (regarding the number of days)
We are being given a slight break (allowed to submit more than 1 save file) because the second game isn't as popular as versions 3, 4, and 5, and therefore there are fewer contestants. But I feel like we've already received a warning from the Chinese organizers, so in the future, we should only submit our walkthrough once!

2wolf64: That's not specific enough. And there should be enough participants, but many "prefer action to words." In my opinion, the forum is created for communication, discussing the tournament, and asking questions.

2 wolf64: there's no need to be so categorical :-), there are participants, and there will be. 2 sometimes provides a good challenge for factions like 3 and 5 ;-). But of course, the main group will join closer to the deadline. Best regards.

I've been wanting to ask: ... Catch, are you participating in this tournament?

I wanted to participate, but it seems it's not meant to be. Real life is relentless :(

I don’t think there’s any need to worry. Although it’s not the gaming season right now, many people are on vacation, relaxing in nature, at their country houses, or at resorts, etc., but I still think you won’t be left alone. ;-) Experienced players simply don’t have any questions; there’s nothing to ask on the forum because they got all their answers in previous tournaments. And there’s nothing to discuss until the end of the tournament; discussions about the save and its walkthrough should only happen after the specified date.

Exactly, Alex and I are like first-graders for the first time!
Good ideas come later.
By the way, I sent the save file today, but before your recommendations about it being the very latest version – meaning I didn't mention that in the accompanying message.

Many participants try to improve their results right up until the end of the tournament and only then submit their final save. Also, we need a large number of participants, and many people are on vacation or traveling during the summer.

It was my mistake to send my save file so early – there was a lull on the forum, as if no one was there.... But new ideas for improvement keep coming to me....
Judging by how the tournament for Heroes 3 just ended, there are many strong players on the portal.... so I think that even with the absence of three organizers on three portals (and they are very strong players)... it would be good if my result ended up in the middle of the table (a naive dream).

2wolf64: Yes, ideas are generated almost every day. I might not even be able to participate in TF6 because of this tournament (I just won't have time). I can assume that thanks to such long deadlines, everyone will have time to perfect their walkthrough, and there might be many identical results (for the same days).

This is the calm before the storm (before the end). Everyone sits around in the evenings and thinks about how to come up with new strategies to improve their results. Although sometimes a limit is reached.

I sent the save file; I can't figure out how to improve it. The map seemed simple, but maybe I overlooked something...
Those who wrote, you're not alone; now I'm with you.

The email arrived, but the attachment is missing. Please attach the save file again and resend it.

The map was indeed chosen to be not too difficult, just to relax and not spend too much time in front of the computer on a beautiful day during the vacation period. ;-)

The map wasn't chosen to be particularly challenging; it was more for relaxation, so you don't have to spend a long time sitting at the computer on a beautiful day during vacation. ;-)

I'd like more maps like this: I love rush strategies :smile13:
