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.

Here's a gold tournament, but for some reason, no one seemed eager to capture Castles as quickly as possible; that's very strange, and no one even considered capturing the Red Castle. For some reason, no one used Mentorship, even though it was the easiest way. You level up Delleb by killing everyone in the Castle, from the Shipyard to the Phoenixes and back. This gets you to level 22. You can organize all of this by the beginning of week 3, meaning on the 1st day of week 3, you can start attacking the Phoenixes. Delleb, with the Book of Dark Magic, could level up 5 heroes, who would gain levels in Summoning and Fire Elementals, plus Luck-Luck on the road, and then go all over the opponent's map. Delleb would go to take out the Mages and then the Necromancers using Phoenixes and Titans (120 of them), while one hero with the Book of Summoning would go to Utopia. And it's all simple; all resources are gathered with Luck on the road, and all Castles are captured. You might ask why I didn't use this tactic; it was weak for me because if my tactic had worked, I would have defeated the Phoenixes at the beginning of the second week, but the tactic didn't work, and I defeated them on the 10th day. As for the maximum score, if you really try, you can get 450,000 without selling any artifacts.

You should understand all of this yourself, Psixxx. Most of the save files were submitted by newcomers, and many are participating in these types of tournaments for the first time. You, on the other hand, have competed in leagues and here before, so don't be surprised by the other players. You surprised yourself when you missed the opportunity to sell artifacts for 189,000 gold.

How is that possible? Using the method you suggested above?

P.S. When will the next official tournament be? Even approximately.

No, nothing can be done with this method.
We do it like this.
We develop Delleb, clearing everyone on his territory by going in a circle around his Castle, without picking up chests. Orson levels up on the chests; at level 11, Orson gets Fire Elementals.
On day 6, we attack the Angels at the exit. Orson goes to the Phoenixes with ghosts (at least 7), killing everyone in his path, with one hero following him. Delleb first goes to the Wood Castle, and then follows Orson.
On day 14, Orson defeats the Phoenixes with the help of raising the dead and Fire Elementals; Orson is around level 15-18. After defeating the Phoenixes, Orson runs to the Green Castle (Mages), without attacking anyone. Delleb defeats everyone, collecting trophies and the Book of Summoning, which is given after defeating the Phoenixes. On day 2.5, Delleb takes the Blue Castle, and on day 2.6, Orson takes the Green Castle. Then, Orson defeats everyone and runs to the Red Castle, not missing a single creature, and continues this way until he reaches the Phoenixes. The main thing is for Orson to reach the Necromancer's Castle on day 4.1, while leaving one Necromancer hero running around the map so that the victory is not automatic.
By the way, we only upgrade our Castle to level 10. The Green opponent already has a Capitol built, so it's better to save money.
After defeating everyone up to the middle, Delleb turns to the Shipyard, defeating everyone in his path.
Nibros, level 5 (with luck on the road), collects all the resources near the Castle and then continues on his territory to the Shipyard.
On day 4.1, we take the Necromancer's Castle, meaning all Castles have been captured.
And Delleb takes both Utopias with the help of a ballista and the Book of Summoning.

Now let's calculate. My result is 358,000. We saved on upgrading the Castle and other buildings +20,000. We earned 6,000 more from the Blue Castle, 6,000 more from the Green Castle, and 10,000 more from the Red Castle, which totals 358 + 42,000. Then, we get about 10-20,000 from the trophies and 10-15,000 more from luck on the road, and 5-10,000 from the resources and gold from the previously captured mines.
The total is 425-445,000.

I won't say anything, brother. You're a giant here :) The tournament will be in early October. I need to talk to Ghost again. I can't seem to catch him.

You're upsetting me; I was actually planning to take all the castles, all the utopias, and of course, visit the Astrologer, but I miscalculated my moves...

I just couldn't get this skill, and with it, there wouldn't have been any particular problems defeating the Phoenixes.
For some reason, no one used Mentorship, even though it was the easiest way.

I had that idea, and once I even got a 2% Enlightenment chance! But I thought the probability was too low, and I guess I wasn't leveling up my hero very well, I only reached level 21.

I've played the map three times, and I've never found the training. And if you level up before Mentorship, it will take a very long time, almost impossible to do during a playthrough.

Guys, where can I find maps from previous tournaments? Are they stored somewhere? I have the map from the ghost-collecting tournament, and I want to practice on other maps before the next tournaments.

Go to the tournament history section of the Heroes 5 official website; there you'll find all the tournaments, and in the first post of each topic, there's a map with a save file. You can practice and read about how these maps were played.

I played through the map three times, and I never encountered the training. And if you level up before Mentorship, it will take a very long time, almost making it impossible to complete the map.

To avoid such difficulties, you should use the HeroScanner program.

I only played with the first two heroes; the main one did the fighting, and the second one gathered resources. I can't figure out how you managed to clear the entire map while defeating everyone. I only cleared everyone on my location except for the Phoenixes and Elementals, and despite my clever logistics, I still made it to the ship on the second to last day... (Well, of course, maybe if I had set a specific goal and not gotten distracted... and maybe I should have taken more heroes)))
But I honestly tried to take out the Phoenixes, and I almost succeeded with the Elementals. It's just a shame about the upgrades – one time I have a triple shot ballista, but no fire arrow, and the other time it's the opposite...
But I think it's not bad for the first time))... By the way, I also didn't know that artifacts could be sold, so Psixxx, you're not alone!)

What is this "mentorship" thing, and why would it be the easiest way to do it?

I chose Nimue as my main hero and leveled up her mentoring skill. First, I cleared the area around the castle. Then, I gathered a bunch of imps and moved on. I leveled up Biara, Grak, and Nibros. They all have the Treasury skill. I gave Biara 14 demons and a Crystal Scroll and sent her to fight unicorns near the gold mine. Nimue went to find the Book of Darkness. She reached it, boarded a ship. Before that, she fought some monsters on the shore. She devoured Utopia (the lower one). She sailed to the upper one. She quickly ran away from there through a portal, which led to a computer. The computer caught up and gave her a beating. The offended computer ran away to the castle. P.S. If you're interested, when I started playing for the third time, I defeated the phoenixes in the second week, using a hundred imps and 12 demons... but it was already around 6:00 PM Moscow time.
