Tournament Rules:

1. General Provisions:

1.1. To participate in the "Wizard Battles" tournament, you must register on our website and leave a request in this thread.
1.1. The tournament will be held from August 12 to September 16 2008. Tournament results will be announced on September 19, 2008.
1.2. The tournament is held as part of the general Van Caningham tournament.
1.3. The tournament is played on the Russian version of Heroes 2 by Buka. The save will be generated on the Russian version.
1.5. ATTENTION!!! Throughout the tournament, the player IS OBLIGED to make saves at the beginning or end (both options are mandatory) of EVERY game day and keep them on their computer! The judge has the right to demand daily walkthrough saves and explanations for them from ANY player, up to the description of the tactics of a specific battle.
In the absence of satisfactory explanations (from the judges' point of view), the player's result will be annulled.
If there is a satisfactory description of the walkthrough but necessary saves are missing, the player is credited with a defeat. The statute of limitations (during which daily saves must be kept) is 7 days after the results of the round are summarized.
1.6. The tournament leader is Qwerty.
2. Walkthrough Restrictions:

2.1. Use of any cheats or bugs in the final walkthrough is prohibited. The result will be annulled.
You can read about which bugs are considered prohibited in the thread: Offline Tournament Rules + FAQ for HMM II
2.2. In case of a week "+5 monsters X" or a month "monster X", the player must replay the single week/month transition and achieve a neutral result.
2.3. It is forbidden to play on any version other than the one specified in point 1.3.
2.4. Open discussion of the tournament on the forum during its progress is PROHIBITED!!!
(Players who violate this rule automatically disqualify themselves from playing the tournament; their results will not be counted and will be annulled)
3. Tournament Goal:

3.1. The goal of the tournament is to defeat the enemy.
3.2. The main victory criterion is minimum time. The secondary criterion is the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) INCLUDING EQUIPPED ARTIFACTS (calculated for the hero with the higher skill sum among those presented in the save); if a favorite still cannot be determined, then by the amount of mercury.
4. Preparing the Final Save.

4.1. The final save should be made before the last action (after which victory occurs).
4.2. The email with the save must contain:
  • the winning save itself;
  • participant number in the application table
  • abbreviation (БВ - Wizard Battles)
  • Player Nickname
Example: email subject "Wizard Battles - vbn",
attached to the letter is a save named 1_БВ_vbn.gm1.

4.3. Send the final save to the mailbox qwertyheroes@gmail.com.
5. Everything about the Starting Save

5.1. Download the save and map.
Note: The save and map are archived using WinRar 3.62.
5.2. The downloaded save must be placed on your computer in the Games folder within the directory where Heroes 2 is installed.
5.3. Load it and start playing at any time convenient for you, while remembering to make daily saves at the beginning and end of each game day.
5.4. After reaching the last action (after which victory occurs), you must save again.
5.5. Along with the final save, describe this last step (most likely a battle) in detail; then the results will be processed faster and there will be fewer suspicions of cheating!!!
5.6. A full description of the tournament map is encouraged (optional). If such descriptions are provided, a contest for the best description will be held; 10 of them (the very best) will take their place of honor in the "Hall of Fame" section!

We invite everyone to participate in the tournament!

Yeah, there were three of us – I’m just a bit embarrassed to talk about my result, otherwise Romanuel and Kamikaze would be rolling on the floor laughing, although I did take a look at their hero builds…

But overall, Romanuel and Kamikaze did a great job – that’s an excellent result, and I’m the one to blame; I was capturing villages in the first week, and then I just wandered around aimlessly, leveled up like crazy, and went around defeating everyone with just one dragon.

I lost the description for the second game in the Heroes series. It was something like "Fizmig." Can anyone provide a link?

Link to what?

I downloaded a complete description of the second game from somewhere using a direct link. Now I can't find it. It also explained the conditions for joining in detail.

I downloaded a complete guide for Heroes II from a direct link somewhere. Now I can't find it. It explained the conditions for joining factions in detail.

Enroll in a school dedicated to Heroes II, and you'll know everything ;)

Players tried to play the map, but due to the strategic requirements mentioned above, not everyone reached the finish line. By the way, there are not two, but three participants.

A very witty answer. There's just no answer.
Strategic requirements - what are you talking about?
Not everyone reached the finish line - but who did? Not everyone means less than 100%, so someone did reach it...and where did they hide?...

Guys, well done, I couldn't even win this map :(
I come to the computer, and it just crushes me... :confused:

Anyway, I need to learn how to play again... :rolleyes:

I also tried playing for two evenings, the demons are overwhelming... And the beer seems to have pushed all the good ideas out of my head :smile05:

You reached it, Romanuel reached it, I reached it - it's a small number, yes, but the map wasn't very easy, so my result wasn't great either, but Qwerty was right (he said in our fourth joint tournament that he hoped I would be in the top three) - and that's true, although there were only three of us, but...

Romanuel, the save files have been received. There is a topic on our forum, in the section dedicated to the second game, that discusses the conditions for recruiting units. I think I explained everything in detail there; if you have any questions, feel free to ask them there, and we'll clarify everything.

Qwerty is great, the map is excellent, it gave us a lot to think about. Kamikaze - and after all, everyone who signed up in the table after Vbn did so after the tournament was extended, and even if such respected players as you and Romanuel didn't ask to extend the tournament, they were still able to play and achieved great results.

Kamikaze, many people still have vacations and other things to do, and some are involved in other tournaments. But we are playing - we are playing.

What do you mean by "strategic requirements"?
As I mentioned above, the first round of the Van Kanneghem Tournament is the "sword" round, and the second is the "magic" round.
This year, the following strategic requirements were defined:
1. The first round - Knight;
2. The second round - Wizard or Sorceress;
3. The "sword" round must be completed using "strength," and the "magic" round must be completed using magic.

Preliminary results suggest that the best approach is focused on magic. And the scrolls on the map are not there by chance.

by the way, about the birds – here’s an archive for those interested. Change the .zip extension to .7z and unpack it with 7-Zip. By the way, a question has arisen: why doesn’t the forum directly support 7z? It compresses Heroes save files much better.

Right now, I'm racking my brain – why did I even need all that hassle with leveling up and dismissing Natasha the day before? Simple meat would have been enough for everything.

I also tried playing for two evenings, but the demons are overwhelming... And the beer somehow pushed all the good ideas out of my head :smile05:
The main thing is not to drink Klinское beer!!! And somehow, I can't get into the game after drinking "diesel."

I looked at day 1-2-7 more carefully... I played it completely wrong... I could have finished the game with 1-3-1... That's what time pressure does!!!

I checked out the saves of the WINNER!!
It's very engaging and exciting. By the way, there are resources to enhance the gameplay, and I think Romanuel will delight us with a series of victories in the future!!!

Since we're already sharing, I'll post my own save files as well.
The infiltration procedure, as indicated by the esteemed Romanuel.
