2 Amber Soler: Thank you, but then what "neutral creatures" are mentioned in the Might and Magic manual? Here is a quote: "All neutral creatures (Fortress, Conflux, Stronghold), as well as all unclaimed creatures, receive +2 to luck."

Okay, thanks for the hint... ;) - this is outdated information. According to the latest instruction from the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions, "unclaimed creatures" do not receive the bonus, because there is a shortage! :D

It's impossible to keep track of everything... I've already fixed it.

If you dismiss your own hero (or defeat an enemy hero), then when you purchase new heroes, their movement points will increase significantly.

To be more precise, such heroes will have the maximum number of movement points, taking into account logistics (+bonus from logistics for specialists in this area).

To be precise, such units will have the maximum number of movement points, taking logistics into account (+logistics bonus for specialists in that field).

To be even more precise, :D any newly purchased hero has 2000 movement points, logistics specialists have 10-20-30% more, and specialists have even more depending on their level (an additional 30 movement points per level)...

To be absolutely precise, :D then any (???) re-purchased hero has a movement point pool of 2000 mp, logisticians have 10-20-30% more, specialists have even more depending on the development level (an additional 30 mp per level)...

And to be super precise, you can also cram an extra 1300 mp into a killed computer hero if you generate a visit to a stable for him, stuff him with boots and gloves (losing the scout hero) and then die together with him (by dropping a meteor shower, for example).
Then a logistics expert (not a specialist) coming out of the tavern would supposedly have 3900 mp :D

Congratulations to everyone on a great tournament, and to myself for a result that is worthy of my skill level :)
I tried to complete it in three days: the main strategy was visiting the Gem Market to exchange 99 mercury and other resources.
Unfortunately,
I only managed it in 4 days,
which I'm happy about.

A question for the experts: is the quest with the crystal dragon doable?

Theoretically, it's possible. It will be difficult to complete in 3 days, but easier in 4 days, but you need to have money. A lot of money. :) The dragon joins for 20,000 gold, but in addition to the money, the hero must have: - an expert diplomat, of course - a strong army. For example, based on the map: 3 angels, 22 ogres, 27 snipers, 10 thunderbirds (join for 7,000 gold), 10 storms (join for free), and 19 orcs (free) - the attack parameter (for this army composition) must be at least 14. For example, for Rylander, who has the Titan's Gladius, this attack will be at level 8. You can join the dragon with a lower attack power, but then you need a stronger army, which is already a problem. The joining cost cannot be changed; it's either 20,000 gold or "bye, baby." By the way, when you hand this specimen over to the menagerie in the guild, they give you as many as 18 gems! :smile02:

He probably meant an expert in diplomacy...
Why did he play so poorly?!

Why did I play so poorly?!

I was going through a really tough depression. I used the championship as a kind of therapy. :)
I almost pulled myself out of it, but my concentration, as the results showed, was zero:smile32:.

But within its own "event horizon" :) everyone worked hard and to the fullest.

"... everything... became... clear... to me... now" )).

Curious – when will the official results be announced? Or did the preliminary results turn out to be final without any changes? And will any of the top three (winners) provide a detailed description of their playthrough?

The official announcement of the results will be made as stated before, no later than July 29, 2008.
Preliminary results usually remain unchanged, except in cases where, for example, someone's save file was mistakenly lost or not taken into account, or if a violation of the rules is discovered among the players in the preliminary results table. But this happens very rarely (I don't remember it happening at all).
Descriptions by DmitriyAS and invisible have already been posted in this thread; I don't think they will add anything else. My description, I think, will be available within the next day or two.

Good day to all! I'm finally back from vacation and eager to finish this Tournament as soon as possible. The final results can be found in the first post after this one on any page! I would like to express my gratitude to all participants in this Tournament, and especially congratulate the top three winners: :smile49: vbn

3 Invisible Invisible really surprised me. Taking a prize-winning spot in his very first offline Tournament is no joke, and considering the competition wasn't exactly weak, it's even more impressive! As always, DmitryAS demonstrated a high level of skill, achieving excellent results while spending minimal real time! And of course, the winner, vbn. Simply outstanding results!!! Congratulations, Vitaly, once again, you played the map almost perfectly! WELL DONE!!!!! As the organizer, I'm very happy with the number of participants; it's been a while since we had so many! HOORAY!!! At this rate, we might even catch up to the Heroes of Might and Magic series! I will most likely organize something else and try to make it even better. There was a suggestion to organize the eighth stage of the ВК Tournament... I'll think about it! As a player, I'm very disappointed that I couldn't perform well in this Tournament... Before organizing the Tournament, I tested everything and, after completing the map in 4 hours in a haphazard way (otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to participate...), I started the Tournament! My playthrough was the most unremarkable. I didn't build anything in the castles, didn't take any provisions, didn't fight the Titans, I just distributed snipers to everyone, killed the AI, and collected everything along the way, and then went to the sea... That's it! As a result, I only got seventh place, but that's the fate of the organizer. Thank you so much, Vitaly, for taking over my duties during my absences!!!! To everyone who didn't win, don't be discouraged, but read the descriptions of the winners and practice! There will be more Tournaments! Thank you again to all the participants, all the critics, and those who said kind words about the map, the Tournament, and the organizer! On this optimistic note, I declare the Tournament finished!!!! HOORAY-A-A-A!!!! Sincerely, Kostya aka Dirty Player aka Galina Sergeevna :D

Regarding my high ranking in this tournament, you definitely exaggerated. But that's not the point...

Once again, congratulations to VBN on the victory and excellent gameplay, and to Invisible on the "bronze" and equally excellent gameplay.
And the Dirty_Player/VBN duo is a fantastic combination that any tournament would be lucky to have. Thank you both for the excellent organization.
