Posts from We are offered to play a match.

Tolyan, don't worry. Model your own heterogeneous consciousness. You and I can sit down and play an unfamiliar, complex fix in a money tournament. Not everyone is like that. That's normal.

Why am I against TE? Old man, do you want to know? I'll tell you personally (as the most active defender of it) – but in a private message. Knock on my ICQ if you want. But discussing cheats in the general chat is not appropriate. I don't want to teach this portal about cheats. Honest players play here, and I like this portal because of that. And I know the level of these players... I can even predict the outcome of a World-Buy match. And I can say that there are hundreds of times more people who will use an unfamiliar fix in a money tournament than in Belarus, including at the World tournament.

Dear players of the World team. Please leave reports about the matches played against Bye in this topic.

I'd like to add my thoughts on why TE-light is so reluctantly accepted by some players who are used to SoD. There is an element of unfamiliarity, and this factor actually plays a significant role, but there is another circumstance: the most ardent supporters of TE themselves alienate SoD fans with their categorical statements about the advantages of this product, the conservatism of the latter, and their own superiority as representatives of the "higher" caste; this is already a psychological aspect. It's necessary to be more approachable, and people will be drawn to it. I agree with Querty – no one is looking for or intends to look for the downsides of TE-light; the idea is good and promising. However, statements like, "I don't believe this is an interface; I just don't believe it," (similar to the expression "this cannot be because it never can be") won't add any positives and will also contribute to the negativity. The interface conveniences that are built into TE may even hinder someone who has been practicing SoD for years, especially in the beginning. A simple example: in TE-light, when visiting various buildings (stable, tower, etc.), a message does not appear that needs to be closed; this undoubtedly speeds up the process. BUT, let's look at what happens when fast-click is activated (as Stinger aptly mentioned): within a fraction of a second after a hero visits such an object, Enter is automatically pressed, and what do we have? Instead of speeding up the process, you have to exit the hero's window, which takes even more time :D. It seems like a small thing, but a couple of such minor details disrupt concentration. Of course, a habit will develop very quickly, but the statements that an unfamiliar interface can hinder you in the first two games on TE are not perceived by me as an excuse for losing, but as a warning to those who have not yet tried TE-light that they should not play a serious game right away.

Hello everyone.
Don't judge by the 2-3 people actively promoting TE, especially since they aren't usually the ones defending Bay's game strength; Vika and same old guy prefer playing with the organization of the process or the object of the game (i.e., Heroes).
For example, lately I've been making units via Shift very often, it also turns out to be fast; sometimes you just don't need everything, for instance only 3-4 are needed, transferring artifacts and Armies REALLY saves time.
So guys, don't stress, let's play on SoD, I've already played one game and am leading 1-0. You can play TE at least to broaden your horizons and gain new skills.

The arguments about the lack of practice are logical and understandable. The problem is that if you don't play TE-lite right away in a tournament, you won't gain that practice through other means. Many players are too attached to SOD to play TE-lite just for learning and training. But for a tournament, you have no choice; you have to :D.

People here are asking about approximate odds for different matchups. If it's appropriate, I'll write them down. If not, just delete it.
In the format: odds for the first round and odds for the second round.

I want to say: "Accept my express bet" :D
I'm amazed at how well the odds are chosen, it's as if a bookmaker's office is open here :D

So guys, don't sweat it, we'll play on SoD; I've already played one game and I'm leading 1-0,

Players need to notify the organizers about the results somehow. If not a full report (but how can you do without one?), then at least the result, color, and which castles. According to my information, the score in the match between World and Bay is 1-1.
Uran def Stinger
DC Vasya def Деконтаминатор.

Hello everyone. Is it possible to upload match save files somewhere?

Well, to be fair, no one has won a game yet 8)
The match is played to two wins, so the score is currently 0-0.

Here are the saves from our first game.

Congratulations!

The Samurai has a great setup – he built Lizards and has 3 native Bog Men with 5 Snakes.

I would have upgraded 60+ Centaurs for the Elves on turn 111 – IMO, they are better than 10 Elves, and the Scouts would be flying around the map. ;)
And the Samurai didn't mark the Basilisk lair for some reason, even though he could have.

But these are minor details. The main thing is – victory!

We just played our first game with Markon.
The following situation occurred:

....
However, I noticed that Flight and Leap are missing from the Book of Air.
I have saves, but I can't send them via ICQ.
I just loaded my save, checked - Flight and Leap are present, if Markon hasn't looked at the map yet, I'm ready to continue.

I had something similar happen to me; I didn't understand the cause of the event, but after restarting, everything was restored. And at the same time, all spells that are cast on the "large" map disappear, TP, Flight, DD... But this is a very rare bug; it happened to me with a frequency of once every 3 years.

Stinger wrote that he didn't make saves for every game – that's strange for such a player. Here's a link to an autosave tool: http://www.heroesportal.net/file.php?file=/files/information/2/rolautosaver.rar It works with any version, even Heroes of Might and Magic II. P.S. Although I know there's a similar tool on Bay. P.P.S. Some Bay users don't know that there's an animation speed booster in the Conflux of Souls – if the units move slowly in battle, ask for the Cranim.txt file and put it in the Data folder.

HAHAHA
Well, he's quite the comedian, I must say.

What's so strange about making saves manually and not having time to save a couple of turns?
You know, I'm not such a staunch supporter of new features, which is what you seem to think all Bay users are.
I also play Heroes of Might and Magic I, by the way – it's a habit.
