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!

Ogo-i (sorry for writing in Russian, it's just faster:)), thanks again for everything. Well, Warmonger is busy, he's not just sitting around doing nothing :). I finished the tournament, I'm leaving for the village soon, I need to quickly run to an internet cafe to upload it. I did terribly, plus the fact that I don't have much time, and I'm not playing with a great lineup right now, so grieve, friends, and rejoice, enemies, I'll send the save for review.

Sincerely, Lord of Vampires

I sent the save file through an agent! Is that correct? I usually exchange information this way. Please let me know if the submission will be accepted or not!

Sorry if this is a bit of a silly question. Should I send the save file for Day 1_4_7? And if I don't have a Castle, is that okay, or is it necessary to conquer one?

1. Please send the save file in the 2-1-1 format. This was stated in the tournament rules at the beginning.
2. There is no need to recapture the Castle.

Here is a quote from post 107 of this thread - Quote:
Message from wolf64
Warmonger, which save file is better to send -
the one at the end of day 28, or the one the computer automatically creates on day 29 (already with the result and calculated points)???
Warmonger's response - Make the save at the end of day 28.

to Warmonger: Please, write in the first post what day to make the final save. Because some people who don't follow the conversation in the thread might send saves from the first day of the second month.

It doesn't make much difference whether it's the end of the first month or the beginning of the second. BUT! It's much easier to check if the saves were made at the end of the 28th day.

Thanks to everyone! The main point was about the castle; otherwise, they might say later that losing the castle wasn't allowed and invalidate the result. And if it's 1-4-7 and 2-1-1, as in my case, is there a difference, especially in that finally, after a few weeks, the castle can be recaptured, but will there be a loss if it's not recaptured by the beginning, or in 5 days, is it possible to recapture the castle, but not within the entire week, but within 7 days?

After all, on the 29th day, the game automatically calculates the results – how many ghosts you collected and how many points you earned. A summary with the information is displayed, and the game is over! You won’t be able to go to level 2-1-1 anymore.

Guys, can you help me with the bears? I read the instructions and followed them, but it doesn't work. Can you explain the mechanics of this bear trick? If this is a discussion, please send me a private message, because my entire walkthrough is ruined, it's a nightmare, and I've wasted so much time.

To convert bears into ghosts, you need to enter a town and have the following:
a) Necromancy skill
b) Sufficient experience
c) The bears themselves:)

If something is missing, the script should display the corresponding message ("You do not have enough experience to transform these bears" or "You do not possess the Necromancy skill"). Since I am not interested in manipulating the results and do not know any of the tournament participants, I think you can send me the save file so I can figure out the situation. Of course, only if the instructions I provided above did not help you in any way:)

ogo-i, thank you for the clarification; it's strange how they transform – it seems to depend not only on the parameters you described. They only transformed after I gathered all the creatures for Vlad, spent all the Town Experience, and spent the night in the castle, specifically inside and not just at the gates. I tried other methods, but nothing worked. Now everything is fine; thank goodness, I even made the sign of the cross when it finally worked.

I'm sending my final save file; I'm waiting for confirmation that it has arrived.

Please don't take this as off-topic; it was a real problem for me, and no one I asked on ICQ knew how to solve it.

I'm sending the save file, but I'm not even sure if it's the correct one because the operating system where Heroes was installed crashed. I'll try to double-check and send it again on Monday, as the deadline is 12:00 PM on Monday, right?
And does sending it twice violate the rules?
