Posts from [HMM II OFF TOURNAMENT] 5th Joint 3-Resource Tournament: "Arena Champion"

I have never participated in tournaments like these before. Therefore, esteemed colleagues, please enlighten me with the details of how a hero's strength is assessed. I am mainly unclear about the role of morality and luck.

I, uh, hesitate to send you to read about the Tournament in the first post... ;-)
If I were to explain it simply: you Download the save file and study it. The goal of the Tournament is to develop one hero within the allotted game time, build and transfer the strongest army, magic, and artifacts to him before the final save. You also need to visit places that boost stats, increase primary and secondary skills, and generally do everything you would do when playing online. In other words, in roughly one game month, which is the duration of this Tournament, you prepare the hero for the final battle! You send your save file made on 211, and your opponent sends theirs. The judges "extract" your heroes and place them on an arena – a small piece of land with only one path – through battle: win or lose! You are sent these arenas with all your opponents in the group, and you conduct a battle, exactly the same as if you were to meet on the adventure map while playing online with another player. In this battle, morality, luck, and everything else also apply. You observe, analyze, and look for winning combinations for yourself and your opponent, and then report the results of the battles to the judges. Your opponents do the same. The judges compare the verdicts sent by the players; if they do not contradict each other and are presented objectively, they agree. However, if the judges believe that the battle was "fixed" and the result will be different from what the player indicated, they (the judges) conduct the battle themselves and issue the final result.

In short, you simply send the strongest hero in full gear that you can create, and then you'll figure it out! :-)

So, what do you say, Romanuel, am I signing you up? ;-)

P.S. You can visit the League, where arena Tournaments were constantly held, and gather more information that might be useful for preparing this save. Also, for the first time, I recommend the School for Heroes 2, where there is even a special topic on preparing a hero for the arena – http://offtop.ru/heroes2school/v20_576892__.php

It became a bit clearer. I just didn't understand what the "arena" meant. And the link (merci — I glanced at it out of the corner of my eye — very much, you know) wouldn't be a bad idea to put in the tournament header...

Don't sign me up yet. I'll create the final list — I'll show up.

Can the assembled Anduran be disassembled into its components? And if so, how?

Is it possible to disassemble the assembled Anduran into its components? And if so, how?

As far as I know, it can only be done using special editing programs. But you can't use them while playing through a saved game.

Colleagues, the possibility of extending the tournament is currently being actively discussed. Three proposals have been received, both directly and indirectly, regarding this. I would like to know the opinions of the players. You can share them via private message or in the Q&A section.

Ideally, it would be great to have it done by December 1st. Otherwise, everyone will easily defeat my well-developed hero, and I don't have time to replay it right now. I barely manage to sleep 5-6 hours a day because I have so much work, but I could spend some more time on it on the 29th and 30th. If not, we'll just have to fight like this.

Dear colleagues,
At the request of many players, the tournament has been extended until December 1st, inclusive.
We wish you good luck!

I have a problem. I'm close to finishing the map, but I'm stuck on a week where I have to deal with +5 Ogres on 1-4-1. Their castle has been taken, and I'm not going to buy any more. Rolling back a whole week didn't help; it just wasted 5 hours of my time. Even skipping 7 turns didn't help. Please give me some guidance. Either I continue to create something (though, by the way, saving the game 30 times a day is a bit much), or I'll have to give up. Because I won't be able to finish it – it's too slow.

2 Romanuel
If the ogres are not defeated and the ransom is not paid after this week, the issue will be resolved positively. When sending the final save file, you must also send the save file from day 141 and remind the judges in the email about the occurrence of this week.

I sent my save file. :-)

I've sent the save file. It seems we might have overestimated the time needed. We could have made it a week shorter. Otherwise, the monsters on the arena will be so powerful that each battle will last for three days until everyone runs out of magic:))))

I'm in. Please announce the complete list (of participants)!

around 6 PM today, I think I figured out what needs to be done for the final stage... anyway, it's a complete mess, but it is what it is. I have almost half the troops I was expecting. I'm sending a copy to your inbox.

I've sent the save file; I'll be online until midnight, just in case.
