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.

The tournament was very good!... if it weren't for... well, never mind. It was good anyway!:smile54:
But I would like the time frame for the next one to be clearly defined.
I personally sent a draft... because I was expecting a later end time...
Congratulations to everyone on their victory.:smile03:
I sympathize with those who couldn't submit their entries...:smile24:
And of course, I'm looking forward to the next tournament!:smile36:
Thank you, Neo, for the tournament! ;)

postрявк'tum and I didn't sell the mercury!:p

Here is my Walkthrough: Day 1. Make sure you get Delleb on day 2. Day 2. Buy Orson and Delleb. Level up Delleb along this path: Delleb. Level 1 ---------------------------------------- Level 2 - Hellfire Level 3 - Advanced Gate Level 4 - Ballista Level 5 - Rapid Ballista Level 6 - Basic Defense Level 7 - Basic Logistics Level 8 - Ghost Luck Level 9 - Basic Summoning Magic Level 10 - Expert Machine Management Level 11 - Luck of the Road Level 12 - Advanced Logistics Level 13 - Expert Logistics Level 14 - Strong Summoning Magic Level 15 - Fire Warriors Level 16 - Expert Summoning Magic Level 17 - Find Path Level 18 - Path of War Level 19 - Master of Enchantments Level 20 - Navigation Level 21 - Great Luck Level 22 - Elemental Balance Level 23 - Spoils Level up Orson in Dark Magic, Logistics, Summoning, and Luck. Days 2, 3, 4, 5. Run around your Castle, killing and capturing everything, but don't pick up resources. Day 6. Angels appear at the exit of their territory. Day 7. Orson runs to the Phoenixes, defeating everyone in his path. Delleb runs down, defeating everyone and grabbing the Dark Book, heading towards the Cyclops. Nibros reaches level 5 and gets Luck of the Road, and now he runs around collecting resources. Day 11. Delleb gives the Dark Book to Orson. Orson, with 7 ghosts, attacks the Phoenixes. After leaving 4 Phoenixes, Orson retreats and is immediately bought in the Castle. Day 12. Delleb defeats the remaining Phoenixes. Orson runs after Delleb. Day 15. Delleb captures the Blue Hero's Castle. Orson runs to the Green Castle. Day 19. Orson takes the Green Castle. Delleb runs to the Shipyard. Day 22. Orson defeats more Phoenixes and more Tanos. Day 23. Orson defeats the Red Hero. Delleb sails to Utopia. Day 25. Delleb takes Utopia. Orson runs to the Red Castle. All resources and mines on the map have been captured and collected. Day 26. Orson captures the Red Castle. One Red Hero remains on the map. Delleb sails to another Utopia. Day 28. Delleb captures the 2nd Utopia. Orson defeats everyone who remains and collects resources. Results. All chests and resources have been collected with Luck of the Road, and all resources have been exchanged for gold. The heroes didn't reach the Spoils skill. In total, there are 4 heroes: 2 heroes at level 5, and 2 heroes at level 22, these are Delleb and Orson. Gold: 358544. There are a total of 47 artifacts, and they haven't been sold, as I just found out that they can be sold. Now I would like to see Walkthroughs from other players. Sincerely, Psixxx.

Gastello is great! He's a bit crazy, what can you say, but he told me he scored 490 points, what a liar. Now, not only did Neo win against you, but either you're getting old or others are getting better. So stop bragging to me in the game. With respect, Lord of Vampires.

Actually, you can sell them at the markets (I mean the city markets). This feature was added in the 3.0 expansion. I just remembered that. What was I thinking before?:mad:
Here's a quote from the manual:

Market
You can buy and sell resources and sell artifacts at the market (the more markets, the
better the exchange rate).
Artifacts are sold for 50% of their value.
» Price: Gold: 500, Wood: 5.

Yes, I'm getting old :D, what can I do :D
It's a sin to brag in front of a braggart :D

2kj1313, it seems that we were the only ones who didn't know about the markets.

Well, I also like to boast, I won't deny it. But I don't have the opportunity to prove it yet. The tournament is over. I don't have a company yet. I ask the moderators to move the topic to the appropriate section.

Hello everyone. Thanks to everyone who congratulated me – I think the debut was a success ;) Even considering the large number of artifacts Psixxx had... As they say, ignorance is no excuse? I also made a mistake – I realized too late that I needed to run with two heroes... I probably would have doubled my score. But there was no way to replay. Regarding the gameplay... I didn't try to come up with anything special; I took Biara. Having all the racial skills allowed me to quickly acquire Rapid Strike and Path of War. Here is my development path: Level 2 - Basic Attack Level 3 - Advanced Attack Level 4 - Basic Logistics Level 5 - Expert Attack Level 6 - Advanced Logistics Level 7 - Basic Machine Mastery Level 8 - Expert Logistics Level 9 - Ballista Level 10 - Advanced Machine Mastery Level 11 - Expert Machine Mastery Level 12 - Rapid Ballista Level 13 - First Aid Level 14 - Find Path Level 15 - Ethereal Luck Level 16 - Great Luck Level 17 - Path of War Level 18 - Basic Leadership Level 19 - Pillage Level 20 - Devil's Strike Level 21 - Magic Resistance Level 22 - Permanent Luck Level 23 - Treasury If everything went smoothly with the skill upgrades, I also ran incorrectly on the map – I stayed near the castle for too long, and also spent a lot of time at the neighboring respawn point – all because of the aforementioned mistake. I didn't try to defeat the Phoenixes; I immediately rushed across the bridge, and around day 16, I boarded the ship. First, I cleared both sunken Temples, then headed to Utopia, where there was a portal to the neighboring castles. Path of War and Pillage allowed me to overcome almost everything without losing speed and pick up what was dropped. Then I turned towards the Mage Guild castle, where I successfully encountered Dugald and Razaz one after another. Obtaining their artifacts significantly increased my capital. In general, even though it wasn't the most successful run, it still gave a decent result. If Orson had gone in a different direction, if Nimue had gotten Pathfinding, if Nibras had gotten Treasury... But that's all just speculation. As they say, history doesn't know conditional tenses? In general, the next games will show how justified the result was and how well-founded the claims to be among the leaders are. And a little more about the map... IMHO, one downside is that the neutrals are too slow and sluggish. Having one dog allowed me to pass through crowds of golems and hordes of zombies – there was no creativity involved – it was all just hit-and-run, especially if you rush towards them from level 1 – you'll probably have to run from them for about 2 hours. The Stone Golems are a piece of cake – how many are there? About 30k experience? But overall, it was interesting. Thank you all for the game; it was a pleasure to participate

I couldn't defeat the Phoenixes. I played through Deleb.
Then I started playing through Deleb and Orson, but I realized I wouldn't have enough time, so I submitted the results from Deleb.
My playthrough speed isn't very fast.
Week 1: We kill everyone around the Castle, gain levels.
Week 2: We rush to eliminate the Angels. We head towards the Phoenixes, killing everyone along the way, including Zombies. We don't touch the Phoenixes; they're too difficult to defeat. We turn towards the Fortress on the hill, killing all the neutral creatures along the way.
Week 3: Around day 19, we board the ship. We kill all the neutral creatures along the way, except for the Earth Elementals and, I think, the Fire Elementals.
Week 4: We land on the nearest shore, defeat the neutral creatures, and rush down the path to capture the Castle. We capture the Castle, and only about 3 days are left. During this time, we capture the nearest mines and sell artifacts.
P.S. Of course, we collected resources, and we also captured support structures and mines.

Deleb, level 21, skills…
1) Expert Machine Ballista - Rapid-Fire Ballista.
2) Advanced Darkness.
3) Great Luck - Luck of the Draw - Spoils of War.
4) Expert Logistics - Innovative - War Enthusiasm.
5) Expert Attack - Battle Fury.
6) Developed Portal Mastery - Hellfire.

Attack - 16
Defense - 4
Strength - 6
Knowledge - 12

P.P.S. Brevity is the soul of wit...))))))))))))

2Gastello If there had been more time and the tournament was official, I could have played much better, even without selling artifacts.
I took all the castles to improve resource exchange, as I understand it, you only captured one castle, right?
In the last week, the income was about 14,000 per day.
All artifacts on the map have been collected; it turned out that I have 45 of them, and they give 188,950. I'm shocked myself.
So, Vampire, I didn't brag about my result.
I still can't imagine that my result could have been 548,000.

2Dracon The Phoenix of Mallassa can be defeated in two ways: either with Orson and Fire Warriors or with Delleb and the Book of Darkness; with the Book of Darkness, you can defeat it with any hero.

I played through the map three times: the first time, I scored around 80,000, the second time, I aimed for 150,000, but ended up with about 142,500, and the last attempt was the final one. The main hero is Biara. Here's her skill build: 1. Offense Basics 2. Devil's Strike 3. Logistics Basics 4. Advanced Logistics 5. Pathfinding 6. Navigation 7. Phantom Path 8. Path Luck 9. Expert Logistics 10. Great Luck 11. Treasures 12. Advanced Offense 13. Plunder 14. Battle Fury 15. Expert Offense 16. Permanent Luck 17. Fire Arrows 18. Dark Magic Basics 19. Advanced Dark Magic 20. Mechanical Basics 21. Soldier's Luck 22. Powerful Dark Magic Biara's stats on the last day: Attack – 16 Defense – 11 Spell Power – 13 Knowledge – 22 4.1. Reached Path Luck; before that, I only took Experience from chests. 5.1. Cleared the path guarded by Angels (Psixxx probably knows how to avoid KILLING the Angels). 6.1. Captured the mine guarded by unicorns. Then, I spent a lot of time on these two locations, capturing mines and collecting gold with Biara. It was good that I had Plunder. 6.2. The great resource gathering phase ended, and I finally set off on my journey. 4.3. Got on a ship and sailed to the whirlpool. 6.3. Cleared the utopia in the north. Then, I teleported to the island southeast of it. 3.4. Captured the utopia on the southern island. 5.4. Captured the 1st sunken city. 7.4. Captured the 2nd sunken city. In principle, the walkthrough of the first 2 weeks is somewhat similar to Gastell0's walkthrough. But I set out to clear 2 utopias and 2 sunken cities, and this choice turned out to be a losing one. Of course, there was plenty of time to spend more time on the map (I made my final save on August 30), but that's just Great Laziness. Now I've reviewed my walkthrough: it would have been better to go and capture the human city and the city of mages after capturing the first utopia. Also, on the last day, I had a lot of baggage in the form of artifacts with a total value of 380100 (that is, the profit from selling them would be at least 190050), if anyone doesn't believe me, I can send my final save. Oh, well, I won't dwell on the past... But this is my first experience, and I'm still satisfied. I look forward to new tournaments from the organizers. Once again, I express my gratitude to Neo for the excellent tournament! P.S. I wonder, has anyone else cleared the phoenixes besides Psixxx?
