I'm 100% ready for the battle! It's going to be intense! Nick: DEN_CHELSEA, ICQ: 406-677-090.

Okay, guys. Now I'll tell you my secret. Although, maybe it's not a secret for others. However, I'll share it.
So, what do you think the game starts with? Exactly! With the draft!
Since we're playing version SoD 3.2, we have the following balance of power.
As you know, there are 9 Castles, and the strongest ones are Necropolis and Conflux. Although they have been significantly weakened by the rules, their superiority over other Castles is still felt. This is where we get the first pair.
Next, there is the second strongest pair: Dungeon and Rampart. The second pair.
The third pair is Swamp - Castle.
And at the very bottom are Tower, Barbarian, and Inferno.
If we don't take into account the player's experience, playing Rampart against Dungeon, or Tower against Barbarian, you won't be in a disadvantageous position from the start.
Therefore, during the draft, if you draft second, stick to the pairs: if Necropolis is drafted, draft Conflux; if Inferno is drafted, draft either Tower or Stronghold. But if you draft first, it becomes more interesting. You can start with any Castle, but it's preferable not to choose from the last three (Barbarian, Tower, Inferno). And if your opponent doesn't draft a pair, then they're in trouble.
Example:
1) Dungeon!! (this is me drafting, just for fun):)
2) Conflux (says the unsuspecting opponent):)
3) Swamp (with an evil grin, I type, deliberately drafting a Castle from the 3rd pair):D
4) (What's left? The ranking by strength is Necropolis, Rampart, Castle, Barbarian, Swamp, Inferno. The opponent can draft anything, for example....) Castle.:p
5) (Draft a Castle from the remaining pair) Tower))):smile04:
6) (It doesn't matter what the opponent drafts. If they draft Necropolis, Rampart will be yours, and vice versa. They will only get the last Castles, either Barbarian or Inferno) Necropolis((((:mad:
And you take the Elves! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!:smile40:
The downside is that you can either draft a blue Necropolis for yourself or give away a red one. It's up to you to decide which is better....
P.S. I hope now no one will kick me out.....:smile25:
P.P.S. However, even this method doesn't prevent me from constantly losing )))

And why are you going into the Dragon Utopia on the second? ;)

well, how else?:confused:

Hi, Dima.
Are you here to sign up?

Yes, I also really want to learn how to play Heroes of Might and Magic, please take me in.

Record it quickly! Otherwise, he will slip away from me again, like sand through my fingers :)

Here you will find comprehensive answers to your question.

It's not described in detail here, but it's interesting... I've read quite a few similar reports, but I've never seen anyone describe every single move... I really want to learn, but there's no one to give me tips... I only managed to learn on VKontakte how to take Max's Crypt with the starting army, but breaking through the guard of the Dragon Fly Hive and the Hive itself in the first few days is, IMHO, pure fantasy =)))

Well, for example: breaking through a Dragon Fly Hive on 111 isn't that hard, unless it's maxed out, of course. And the main thing is that this Dragon Fly Hive exists, so that it can be reached on 111. I myself took 6 Wyverns on 111 as a miner; there was a block at the Castle made of a bunch of Orc Mages guarding the Hive. Well, I had restarts, and I decided that if I couldn't break through, I'd restart. The second non-native hero was a Necromancer with 26 Skeletons and 6 Zombies. Anyway, after the Orcs fell, I positioned the troops as follows: 1 Zombie - Troglodytes - 1 Zombie - Skeletons - 1 Zombie - 1 Zombie - 2 Zombies. There were 9 Bees per stack. While they were crunching bones with appetite, the Trogs took them out. Then I also took 1 Hive already for 4 Wyverns, and then the opponent took a restart(((

It's not described in detail, but it's interesting... I've read quite a few similar reports, but to have someone describe every move... it makes you want to learn, but there's no one to ask... I only learned how to get the maximum amount of gold from the starting army on VKontakte, but breaking through the guard at the artifact and taking the beehive in the first few days is, in my opinion, fantastic =)))

Oops, I should have clarified which question I was referring to; by default, I meant the question about the 6-minute mark. Reading this is good, of course, but the most important thing is the save files - analyzing them and repeating the process yourself shouldn't leave any doubts about the necessity of such a time limit.

was a block near the Castle, consisting of a crowd of orc-mages who were guarding the Hive.

Chevalier Blacpoint most likely refers to: a crowd, classified as The Shadow of Death (20-49 cave squirrels), and not as Platinum (100-249). I decided to clarify your post so that some players (with Platinum) wouldn't have any misunderstandings.

...but to have someone describe every move in detail... because I want to learn, but there's no one to give advice... only on VKontakte did I learn to take max crypts with the starting army, but how to break through the Dragon Fly Hive guard and the hive itself in the first few days is, IMHO, fantasy =)))

Dear players! We recently created the Tournament Committee of HOMM3 players (TC), which will be responsible for organizing and running tournaments. Also, the Academy of Martial Arts (AMA), which is part of the TC, is planning a major effort to improve players' skills. Very soon, several topics will appear in the /forum/section/201/ section. There will also be answers to all questions from beginners and not-so-beginners. We will study the "Young Fighter's Course" by Nagan-4 together.
And this tournament is the first big endeavor of the AMA. We are awaiting registration of new players - Newbies-2009. Good luck to everyone!

We have a tradition in Nigonshchina of affectionately calling the cave dwellers.
As far as I remember, the main goal of the tournament was to improve the level of gameplay and integrate new players into the community. IMHO, the tournament has already started fulfilling its objectives even before it began.
Also, IMHO, you can stop waiting for new participants to register; it's not that they won't come at all, but the demand has already balanced out with the supply. I would recommend a draw. However, you probably won't listen to me.
And if you're hinting that I'm cluttering up the forum, then I'll be quiet. The forum will become richer and more interesting as a result.
Sincerely, your gloomier than ever, AVERNO.

Avern, we should definitely wait for two more players. Then there will be 4 even groups of 6 people, which, in my opinion, will be convenient for everyone, including the organizers.

How was it back then? O_O We just put them in a group with Blacpoint:D
But I don't envy those who end up in the same group:rolleyes:

Esli delat gruppi po 6 chelovek to turnir minimum na 3 mesyaca. Ono nado? Leto vse taki).
