1. To participate in the offline Heroes 5 tournament "Best Treasure Hunter," you must register on our website and submit an application in this thread.

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

3. The goal of the game is to earn as much gold as possible in 28 days. On the 28th day, the game is fully completed, all actions are taken, and the save file is submitted.
If several players have the same amount of gold, the winner will be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) INCLUDING WORN ARTIFACTS. If a favorite still cannot be determined, it will be based on the amount of mercury.

4. The following are prohibited in the tournament:

a) Using cheats, codes, mods, or additional programs that can change the game structure in the "final" playthrough.

b) Restarting or any other modification of the initial save file is prohibited.

c) Discussion of the tournament on the forum during its duration is PROHIBITED!!!
(Players who violate this rule will automatically be disqualified, their results will not be counted and will be annulled).

5. To start the game, you must download the archive containing the map and the save file. The save file must be placed in the directory My Documents\My Games\Heroes of Might and Magic V — Tribes of the East\Profiles\Your profile\Saves.

6. During the tournament, the player must save intermediate save files for each game day. Also, replays of EACH battle must be made.
Intermediate save files/replays may be requested by the tournament organizer to verify the integrity of the playthrough. If the use of cheat codes is detected, as well as any errors or features of the game that are explicitly prohibited in the rules, the player will be immediately disqualified from the tournament.

7. Together with the final save file, players must submit a description of the tactics of the final battle (the more complex the battle, the more detailed).
If the victory depends on the outcome of morale/luck/specific actions of computer players, a complete description of the battle is required - one that can be used to repeat it. It is also desirable to submit a replay of the final battle, especially if it is difficult and cannot be won with auto-combat.

8. Send the final save file to the email address 195213@inbox.ru. Include the participant's number from the application table and the player's nickname in the email. Example: 1_Neo.sav. In the email, indicate your nickname on the forum, the number of days for which the map was completed, the hero's stats (excluding morale and luck), and the amount of mercury.

9. The tournament starts on August 25 and will last until September 14 (inclusive). The results will be announced on September 14, 2008.

I have a question: if the main goal is to accumulate as much gold as possible, does that mean you can also sell resources? And if you sell mercury, it obviously won't play any role anymore. So, should you focus solely on gold?

I think I figured it out. They need to spend 30 seconds there.))

Added after 6 hours and 23 minutes
Can I ask a question? What is a replay and how do I make one? What is meant by the final battle? I hope I haven't asked anything forbidden.

A replay is a recording of a past battle. After the battle ends, a statistics window appears: victory, number of losses, and number of enemies killed. In this window, there will be a "save" tab; click on it and save the battle. Again, I don't see anything particularly difficult here. You just need to be more attentive.

You can do that. I added mercury because I wanted the table to be more informative in the final stage.

Question... about a week has passed... I didn't save replays at the beginning... (I did save the game). What should I do? Should I replay from the beginning, or is there another way?

It's best to replay from the beginning.

Dear tournament organizer, what does recording the final battle entail? Is it a replay of the last battle or a replay of the most challenging battle?

Hello!
I can't start the game.
I extracted the archive to the specified folder. When I launch the game and try to load a save, I get a message saying something like "the game cannot be launched, the archive is corrupted, etc."
Has anyone else experienced this?

I think the organizer meant the most difficult battles, but I advise making replays for each battle, no matter how simple it may be.

I think it's because of the game version, as the save was made on version 3.0.
Try running it on 3.0, I'm sure there won't be any problems.

I've been thinking about participating in tournaments again, maybe I'll play?
Neo122007, sign me up, I'll do a few runs.

Best regards, Psixxx.

The thing is, I need a COMMENTARY for the final battle, or rather, a "description of the tactics for the final battle." The save file is ready, but I'm having trouble with this.

The point is that a COMMENTARY on the final stage is needed, or rather, a "description of the tactics for the final battle." The save is ready, but there are problems with this.
No commentary or anything else is needed except the save and replays of the most difficult battles.
Here is that post:
7. Together with the final save, players must send a description of the tactics for the final battle (the more difficult the battle, the more complete the description).
If the victory depends on the outcome of morale/luck/certain actions of the computer players, a complete description of the battle is required - one that can be used to repeat it.
It is also desirable to send a replay of the final battle. Especially if it is difficult enough and cannot be won by auto-battle.
This does not apply to this tournament (because there is no final battle in this tournament (the tournament is about collecting gold, which means that the player may not even fight at all, simply skipping 28 days sitting in the castle)) and in general, I think this point of the rules should be removed, since there are replays and descriptions of battles are not needed.

Sincerely, Psixxx.

This doesn't relate to this tournament (because there is no final battle in this tournament – this tournament is about collecting gold, which means a player might not even have to fight at all, simply skipping 28 days while staying in the castle), and I think this rule should be removed, as replays exist, and descriptions of battles are not needed.

Thank you, I understand everything.;)

P.S.

The tournament is very interesting, with many ways to complete it. In this tournament, it's impossible to say what the maximum score is, so you can improve as many times as you try.

I would also like more players to participate in this interesting tournament, even though it is not ranked.

Sincerely, Psixxx.

Damn... I've already completed it twice, but I didn't record any replays!(((
Does that mean the result won't be counted without them?
Do I have to play it again????

I completely agree with Psixxx.:smile01: The tournament is really interesting.:smile54: I have already completed the map several times in various ways, and each time I improved my result. And at the same time, I don't get tired of playing, on the contrary, I choose free time to play again.
Guys, participate in the tournament while you still can! For those who are in school, I don't think they will be overloaded with it, so seize the moment and participate!
P.S. respect to Neo122007 for organizing the tournament.:smile20:
