Posts from [HMM III OFF TOURNAMENT] "Race for the Leader"

Good day to all, even though there are few of you, you are still valued participants in the tournament. Let's start in order... 1. You can discuss things; I will no longer accept save files. 2. The results will be available, but later, as I have no free time due to my thesis defense. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.

"Overwhelmed the enemy" on 1-3-2 (14 days), mercury - 104, castles - 4, KreggHack stats - 21-17-6-6 (total 50).
The last battle was very difficult for me in terms of execution, partly because Kregg didn't read books as a child, and even in adulthood.

:smile07: Maybe you can share your tactics; I only made it to the tavern on day 14. :confused:

I'll briefly recount it from memory, as I'm starting to forget some details. I made my way to the tavern with the starting units and recruited Hobbits along the way, along with a squad of Orcs. With them, I cleared out the Cyclops and picked up a sword. I reached the tavern on the 7th day, I think, and sent out three groups from there: the western group to visit the tent, the southern group for the main objective, and the eastern group to eliminate the Azure Dragons (I cleared them out with powerful Gorgons). Then, the main group also split up: Dessa went to capture the castle in the northwest. While Craig waited for the borders to open, we sailed in a boat to kill the Rusty Dragons. And finally, there were fierce battles with outposts and the defeat of the Necromancer himself.

And with which army did you defeat the Azure Dragon, specifically? I needed an army of 18 Mighty Gorgons...

Yeah, 14 days is a lot.

I want to participate in the tournament! Please register me.

And with which army did you defeat the Azure ones specifically? I needed an army of 18 Mighty Gorgons...

Two heroes defeated the Azure ones, each with 3 "Sacred Cows." The first one eliminated 2, and the second one finished off the squad.

Good day, dear tournament participants. Well, you can congratulate me on defending my thesis, although I only got a 4. As we say, it's not about winning, but about participating. So, I also participated in higher education for as long as 6 years. Now, regarding the topic, the results will be available in the coming days. P.S. Someone mentioned that they still have 1 post saved; please send it to my email. Best regards, K0Lb@zzeR.

Rating for the mini-tournament of tournament 2-2 "Race for the Leader" 1. Nzol ............. - 16 days - 100 pts 2. kj1313 .......... - 42 days - 56.5 pts 3. Nimizida ........ - 51 days - 40.7 pts 4. Andrey44_44 .. - 53 days - 27.6 pts

Good day to all.

Let's get started.
The resumption of the "race" is scheduled for October (immediately after the end of the 3 Heroes tournament).

And in my free time, I will do the following:
1. I will present certificates and prizes to the winners of the first stage, and this will conclude the first stage.
2. I will summarize the final results of the 2-1 and 2-2 mini-tournaments (and post the final results in the designated thread).
3. I have finally decided on the system for determining the LEADER and ABSOLUTE LEADER of the "race".
4. If anyone still has the first post of the thread, please let me know; this will help with its restoration... if there are none, I will recreate it.
5. I ask all tournament participants to resubmit their applications for the 2-3 mini-tournaments; I will create a new participant table in the first post.
6. I decided that there will be a 1-month break between mini-tournaments so as not to overburden the tournament participants.
7. I have a proposal for the Clans to hold another clan war, using the 2-3 mini-tournament.

Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.

If I can, I'm in! As for the number, I think I had 48. But honestly, I don't care what number I get. I'll repeat my idea. I'm sure that if the saves are submitted in "packages," there will be more submitted packages than the number of people who completed all stages of the first scenario. This way, the organizer won't have to check extra saves, and those who decided to participate in the competition won't drop out due to failure in any stage. Everyone knows that people play for three reasons: 1. Just for fun and for their own development; they want to know their level. 2. To win a cup or take a respectable place. 3. Includes the first two points + the opportunity to earn something. When all three reasons are present, a strong group is formed (e.g., For Sale). What happens in the competition? Many people want to play (60 people). 40 play for fun, and therefore don't play all the stages. 20 are aiming for the cup, but only 5 complete all the stages. It's all so sad because it's so complicated! Players are pressured not only by the number of stages but also by the lack of time and poor results in individual stages or missing them. And there are also a bunch of personal problems. To make life easier for players, a package system should be introduced. For example, if I have a month with relatively free time, I can sit down and complete all the stages in one month. And in general, complete all the stages at once and see the results (what place I took, what I received). But as it is, you play, play, something doesn't work out somewhere, and you give up on the competition. You think, "There's no chance here; I'll try to win some other tournament." It should be like this: the tournament is over, you get a cup or a certain place for it, and not like you play one game, the second, the third, the fourth, and only then you see the results. Let's say, they still introduce a package system: If there are 5 stages in a scenario, the time to complete it should be approximately 3 months. Because in those 3 months, a person will probably have to play several other tournaments. Regarding the points for each stage, everything should remain the same. That is, we calculate the points based on the winner's result. Let's say 10 packages are submitted, each with 5 stages. First, we take the final saves from the 1st stage, compare them, and calculate the points. Then, we do the same with the remaining stages. We get a package with 5 results (example: 1st player - 900, 800, 1000, 700, 400 = 3800; 2nd player - 1000, 700, 900, 600, 500 = 3700). The leader of the scenario is determined by the highest total score. Well, as for the ABSOLUTE LEADER, it's still a long way off. Regarding stages 2-3 and 2-4, maybe they can be held now, even simultaneously. And introduce the package system starting in October.

Sanya, you always make good points, but I think we should finish this stage as usual, and then switch to your system or a system similar to the one on KI HeroesPortal (where a player completes the entire campaign without saving), but that's not crucial... I think the deadlines should be something like this: 3 months for each campaign, for example, we start stage 3 in winter, stage 4 in spring, and so on...
P.S.: Respect to Kolbzer for his persistence! ;)

Is the tournament still active? And can I participate?

Good day.

Is the tournament still active? And can I participate?

Of course, it's ALIVE (It's like Lenin ;) ) You can participate... so I'm signing you up for participation in round 2 or 3, right?

Regarding the save packages, I'm either slow or a bit dense :) I'm not quite getting it... how will the save files be checked (that's one), and how many save files will each player need to send (that's two).
In principle, I don't mind; if people want a package system, we'll introduce it. As they say, everything is for you, as long as you participate ;) and of course, WIN!!!

Best regards, K0Lb@zzeR.
