In honor of my birthday, I am opening an offline tournament for Heroes 5. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Tournament Rules and Description.

1.The goal of the game is to collect as many ghosts as possible within 28 days. Ghosts can be of any type, i.e., specters, phantoms, or spirits. The result will be evaluated based on the number of ghosts the starting hero has; that is, all ghosts must be with the hero who was chosen at the start. In the event of an equal number of ghosts (which is unlikely, but still), the accumulated points will be taken into account. Good luck to everyone!

2.To participate in the tournament, you must register on the HeroesWorld forum and leave an application in this thread!

3.The tournament will be held on the Russian version of Heroes 5 from 1C, version 3.0. The save was generated on the Russian version 3.0.

4.Difficulty - Hero. Starting faction - Necropolis. Starting hero - Vlad.

5.You cannot recruit monsters on the map, except for level 3 Necropolis creatures; do not even try to use diplomacy!

6.The hero Kaspar is prohibited.
7.In the final save, only one hero must remain on the map; that is, dismiss all the others.

8.To make the save appear in Heroes, place it in the folder My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V\Profiles\Your profile\Saves\

9.Discussion of the tournament on the forum is strictly prohibited until the end of the tournament!

Preparing the final saves:

1.Players must play strictly on the provided save. Restarting the game is prohibited.

2.The player must make intermediate saves at the end of each turn.

3.If the saves sent by the player cannot be opened by the current version of Heroes V (currently version 3.0), their result will not be counted.

Restrictions on save progression:

1.It is forbidden to hack or use any programs (other than Heroes) to edit saves.

2.It is forbidden to use any cheats or bugs. If you have doubts about a particular technique, consult with the judge; otherwise, you will use it at your own risk.

3.If a player suspects that their opponent has violated the rules, they have the right to request the opponent's save files and explanations for them, up to a description of the tactics of a specific battle. A copy of the request is sent to the judge. If the judge does not find satisfactory explanations, the player will be declared a "cheater" and expelled from the tournament and the forum. If a satisfactory description of the gameplay is provided, but the necessary saves are missing, the player will be given a loss with a warning about being excluded from the forum.

4.The final save file must reflect the tournament and the player's nickname, for example, Hunters-Nickname.sav or, as in my case, Hunters-Warmonger.sav Name the save both in the game and in the file itself!

The email address for sending the final saves is warmong(at)mail.ru

The tournament starts on July 28 (Monday) and ends on August 18 (Monday) at 12:00 PM; that is, the save will not be accepted before July 28!

Here's a map that seems to have a bug, so I'm not downloading it yet. Let's wait for Warmonger to clarify the situation. I think he'll explain what's going on.

Warm, please resolve this issue as soon as possible. I will be downloading the save file from an internet cafe. I don't want to go there multiple times. And I will ask the participants to refrain from excessive chatting. Sincerely, Lord of Vampires.

My map works fine – nothing crashes (I downloaded it using the link in the first post), but I have a question. From the very beginning, I'm getting 5 gold per day, even though I haven't built any gold mines or a capital – is that how it's supposed to be? And another question: should I only send the save file from day 28, or are intermediate saves or replays not needed?

From the very beginning, the gold income is 5 units per day, even though no gold mines or a capital have been built – is this how it should be?
And another question – should I only send the save file from day 28, or are intermediate saves and replays not required?
And what is the Grail for? (it has already been built). And there is plenty of dark energy – is that not surprising?
According to the rules for preparing final saves – (point 2) – 2. The player must make intermediate saves at the end of each turn.

And if you also make replays of each battle, that would be great!!!

Hey guys, I've got a problem. I can't upload the save file to the website; it gets stuck during the upload process. What should I do? Maybe I should just send the results to the organizer. Map version: 3.0. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

You don't need to upload the save file to the website; you should send it to the organizer's email address. If that doesn't work, you can send it through ICQ or another messaging service – there are options.

Yeah, I see I'm not the first, but I'll also chime in – the game crashes for me right on the first day, and it's happened three times in a row, so I stopped experimenting. Glad I checked the forum, otherwise I would have reinstalled the whole game. Judging by the feedback, there are other issues as well. Warm, please refine the map with the save and announce a new start date for the tournament; we can wait, it's not the end of the world!

I suspect the problem might be with the lighting file... although I'm not sure. But, if you use the KEYBOARD (up, down, left, right arrows) instead of the mouse to scroll through the strategic map, there won't be any crashes. I haven't tried it myself, but I read it somewhere.

And I wanted to add something. As a tradition, let's organize a clan war. So, sign up. The top 3 results from each clan will count towards the clan war. The clan's result will be the sum of the points scored. Best regards, Lord of Vampires.

That's true. I always use the keyboard whenever possible, so I haven't experienced any crashes. Just now, for the sake of the experiment, I tried moving the map with the mouse, and the game crashed.

I don't know what Warmonger did with the map, but the one I downloaded here crashes my game. The one I made and sent to him doesn't crash. Here's a save file on Hero difficulty and the map, since Warmonger isn't in a hurry to upload them. I tested it a bit myself – I tried everything I could, and it didn't crash:)

To make sure everything works correctly, delete the old save file and map and install these. Enjoy the game!

1. Thank you to ogo-i for his mapmaking skills; he always creates interesting maps. 2. The save and map sizes for ogo-i and Warmonger differ slightly (in bytes). It should be ensured that everyone plays with the latest version provided by ogo-i. This should be confirmed by Warmonger or the responsible moderator (everyone should be on equal footing).

Perhaps they were archived differently.
Everyone should play on the latest version provided by ogo-i. Warmonger or the responsible moderator should confirm this (everyone should be on equal footing).

Was anyone seriously planning to play as the Warrior?

Let the organizer decide, otherwise everyone will end up playing on different maps, and the result won't be counted...
