FOURTH OFFLINE HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC I "CAMPAIGN" TOURNAMENT


TOURNAMENT RULES


1. To participate in the fourth offline Heroes of Might and Magic I "CAMPAIGN" tournament, you must register on our website www.heroesworld.ru and submit an application in this thread.

2. The tournament is conducted using the Russian version of Heroes of Might and Magic I from Buka. Saves will be generated on the Russian version 1.1.

3. The tournament will consist of 8 stages, as that is how many campaign maps were created by the developers. The goal of the game is to defeat the enemy or fulfill a specific condition within each individual scenario.
- Upon completion of each stage, a player rating will be awarded, which will accumulate with each subsequent successful completion of a stage.
- A reward will be given for each stage (in the profile and under the avatar), thereby providing an incentive for the player at every stage.
- The overall winner of this tournament (across all stages) receives a prize in the form of a trophy (in the profile and under the avatar).
- This is a rated tournament, so you should start earning your rating now, as the highest-rated player on our site at the end of the year will receive a separate prize in the form of an absolute winner's trophy, as well as an honorary certificate sent by mail.

4. Results will be evaluated primarily based on minimum time. If several players have identical completion times, the best will be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) INCLUDING EQUIPPED ARTIFACTS of the player's best hero; if a favorite is still not determined, then by the amount of mercury.

5. The list of prohibitions can be read in the thread:

Offline Tournament Rules + FAQ!, or on the website www.handbookhmm1.narod.ru

6. Send saves to the email address VDV_forever@BK.RU

The submitted save must contain the tournament number (4), the stage number, the participant's number in the application table, the stage abbreviation (for the first stage P - PROLOGUE), and the player's Nick.

Example:

4_1_1_П_VDV_forever.CGM


7. In case a player is suspected of cheating or other malicious intent while completing the map, it is necessary to save every game day, as well as before and immediately after a difficult battle.
In such an event (detection of cheating), the player will be required to send additional saves and provide a walkthrough description to the tournament organizer to determine whether the play was fair or unfair.
The result of a player who played unfairly will be nullified, and their further participation in tournaments will be impossible. This will also reflect poorly on their reputation.

8. Discussion of the tournament during its progress is FORBIDDEN!!!
(Players who violate this rule automatically disqualify themselves from playing the tournament; their results will not be counted and will be annulled).

9. The first stage of the tournament starts on October 6 and lasts until October 20 (inclusive!) 2007. Results will be announced on October 23, 2007.

The second stage of the tournament starts on October 23 and lasts until November 11 (inclusive!) 2007. Results will be announced on November 14, 2007.

The third stage of the tournament starts on November 26 and lasts until December 10 (inclusive!) 2007. Results will be announced on December 14, 2007.

The fourth stage of the tournament starts on January 12, 2008, and lasts until February 1 (inclusive!) 2008. Results will be announced on February 4, 2008.

The fifth stage of the tournament starts on March 13, 2008, and lasts until April 13 (inclusive!) 2008. Results will be announced on April 16, 2008.

The sixth stage of the tournament starts on May 26, 2008, and lasts until June 20 (inclusive!) 2008. Results will be announced on June 23, 2008.

The seventh stage of the tournament starts on July 7, 2008, and lasts until August 7 (inclusive!) 2008. Results will be announced on August 13, 2008.
Note - this stage of the tournament is also conducted as part of the annual Van Kanigem tournament (Stage 6 of the Van Kanigem tournament).

The eighth stage of the tournament starts on September 20, 2008, and lasts until October 20 (inclusive!) 2008. Results will be announced on October 23, 2008.

10. After your save is received, you will see in the application table that:

save accepted - indicated by a bold Nick.
save counted - indicated by a blue bold Nick.
save not counted - indicated by a red bold Nick.
This list can be expanded by new participants!
We invite everyone to participate in the tournament!

Saves will only be considered for players who are in this table, so submit your applications IN ADVANCE!!!

Fireball, how much time did you spend on everything?...
It's hard to estimate. Yesterday, I played for about 7 hours, and for 3 previous days, I played in short bursts at different times of the day. I'd say about 20 hours in total. I definitely wouldn't have managed to finish it in one day because of the lack of cheats and the need to gather resources. Also, I didn't notice one nuance right away, and I was working on it for 10 days, then I had to redo it.
Fireball - how much do you have?
Romanuel - so, 3-2-1, how many days does that amount to?
3-2-1 means 10 days; the counter just didn't reset from the first stage because it's a campaign. I have 7 days, according to the campaign counter.
3-1-5

Fireball, please post your final version here! I'm curious to see what you've collected over the week.

See, and may luck be with you. 997 peasants, 85 archers, 24 pikemen, 23 swordsmen, 8 riders. In short, a peasant uprising and dragons on pitchforks.

Thank you - Fireball. And still, wouldn't it be good if someone wrote a walkthrough?!!! Yeah, if I knew that it was actually possible to defeat 23 dragons and others with such an army, I would be much closer to your result. But for now, I can't handle defeating such opponents with such armies as I had in the castle. And why don't 23 dragons immediately defeat all the peasants?

The battle isn't that difficult. The hero has 10 attack points, so on the first turn, you need to rely on luck with the peasants, and then use weaker units as bait and lure out the hydras and minotaurs at the right time. I still advise you to play it yourself. If something doesn't work out, I'll provide a round-by-round description, which VDV_forever sent along with the save file.

Good afternoon, dear tournament participants! I thank everyone who found the time to play through the map and participate in the tournament; thank you! After a preliminary check for key points, all saves have been accepted. You can find the results as always in this thread: Tournament Results! Please note that I need daily saves for a complete review. The participants from whom I am expecting saves have been notified by email. Now, let's move on to the tournament itself. I will briefly go over the participants.:) 1) Fireball As always, he impressed with his gameplay, especially with his final battle. He created a detailed and simply amazing description of this battle, which could be almost perfectly replicated by loading the save and attacking the AI! Any other attempts by me to play differently were doomed to fail; many thanks for this magnificent battle! I would also like to ask for your consent to post this battle + description on www.handbookhmm1.narod.ru as another mini-quest. P.S. How much real time did it take to achieve those precise actions in the final battle (if it's not a secret)? P.S.S. Also, I (and probably others) would be very happy if you could share a brief description of your game strategy. Jumping over two heads is awesome!:smile20: 2) Romanuel We need more constant and strong players like you! The unusual strategy that you chose specifically for this map is very interesting and requires further study. Combining dragons + Armageddon + a powerful hero provides the fastest and most straightforward victory! 3) Kamikaze It's clear that Vitaly just played through once without putting in any effort. Nevertheless, the result is not bad; his skill helps him show good results even with just one playthrough. I think that with a full game, he could improve his result by a factor of two! 4) dim013 Credit must be given to dim013 because he not only showed a good result (his first tournament), but also had a very difficult battle from my point of view, spending four days on it! But he achieved his goal and defeated the enemy! I think we are witnessing the rise of a new super player! 5) Andrey44_44 You can feel that Andrey just played through the map once. You have enormous potential in Heroes 1; it’s a pity that you don’t use it to its full extent. I hope to see your true result in the next tournament! 6) Sage It's great to see that veterans haven't forgotten about us. He played simply for himself and enjoyed it. I hope we will see you more often. P.S. By the way, the experience-based tournament is coming soon… Thank you all again. Sincerely, VDV_forever

Good afternoon, esteemed tournament participants!

5) Andrey44_44 It seems that Andrey only ran through the map once. You have huge potential in Heroes 1; it's a pity that you don't use it to its full extent. I hope to see the true result you can achieve in the next tournament!

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Not just once, but the key is to play well. You need to be focused on the game and not be distracted, but when you have a family, you usually don't get more than an hour to sit down in peace, and the next day, after loading the map, or even days later, you wonder where you were going and what you were doing... That's how it happens. But I'm trying, I'm trying.
I don't know what is highlighted in red in the results; as I understand it, it's the maximum for those parameters. Does Romanuel have a higher skill total than me? And the player who completed the Mercury map in 38 days has a higher score than me.

But why didn't the 23 dragons take out all the peasants at once?
I attacked significantly earlier than you, so there were 15 "glamorous" units, and after the attack with luck, 7 remained (the seventh was on the verge of death). After the counterattack, 419 peasants survived.
I also request your consent to post this battle + description on www.handbookhmm1.narod.ru as another mini-quest.
You can post any of my battles, descriptions, or walkthroughs on any resource directly related to Heroes of Might and Magic, including www.handbookhmm1.narod.ru.

By the way, in the handbook, in the diplomacy section, the coefficient for joining is indicated as approximately 1.77. I think it is 1.75. I can confirm this with a save file. It's a small detail, but it might matter in the official game someday.
P.S. How much real time did it take to achieve the specific actions in the final battle (if it's not a secret)?
Less than an hour. The most logical thing would have been to send the berserker to attack the griffins and immediately move the riders upwards, but then I would have been without luck, and the battles could have dragged on even longer. I had to try less powerful options at first glance, one of which became the final one. A typical approach for the fifth game, but it worked in the first one.

It's not just once, but the key is to play well. You need to get in the right mindset for the game and make sure no one distracts you. But when you have a family, they usually don't let you sit down and play peacefully for more than an hour. And the next day, after loading a map, or even a few days later, you might forget where you were going... That's how it happens. But I'm trying, I'm really trying.

I think that with time, with such activity and desire, you will be among the top 5 leaders on HW for Heroes 1;)

I don't know what's highlighted in red in the results; as I understand it, it shows the maximum value for those parameters. Does Romanuel have a higher total skill score than me? And the player who achieved the Mercury score in 38 days has a higher score than mine.

Thank you for pointing that out! It's been corrected:)

By the way, in the reference guide, in the diplomacy section, the coefficient for annexation is indicated to be approximately 1.77. I think it's 1.75. I can confirm this with a save file. It's a small detail, but it might matter in the official game.

I have already informed the respected VDV_Forever that the diplomacy coefficient in the reference guide is incorrect. Specifically, it is K=x*1.75+1, meaning that to annex 100 peasants, we need 176 formidable warriors in our army.

PS: Or, for perfect accuracy in writing the formula, it should be written as K>x*1.75.

Thank you, your mini-task will definitely be included in the next version of the handbook.

P.S. I wonder if anyone has completed this battle without a description?:)
P.P.S. I finished the battle on turn 5 because the peasants were lucky:D

Thank you. Kamikaze very thoroughly and accurately determined this coefficient for each type of unit. This note will also be included in the handbook in the next edition.

Less than an hour. The most logical thing would be to send the berserker to the griffins and immediately move the riders upwards, but then I would have no luck, and the dragons could also get frozen. I had to try less powerful options at first glance, one of which became the final one. A typical approach for the fifth game, but it worked in the first one.

Yes, a pro is a pro! I believe that today, you are one of the best players in Heroes 1, and not only...

But why don't 23 dragons take down all the peasants at once?

That's interesting, but I also had 15 dragons (3-3-2):cool:
It seems that everything depended on the approach to the city. Most likely, Alamar didn't sense the threat in our scenarios and didn't start buying fire-breathing units.

Up to day 10, I saw him with 13, 14, or 15 dragons (apparently, depending on his finances and the heroes he was using; Ary also had fewer dragons). He probably couldn't buy more than 15, and after that, the number of dragons increased in his castles. Whether he actually bought them later is another question.
