Posts from Tournaments hassles HMM II

So, we already have two votes for resource/gold gathering.
Please share your opinions more actively.
And let's think about the timing. Maybe we should start at the end of April so that we can fully enjoy the game during both May holidays?
I think the formula could be as follows: sum of wood and ore + (sum of sulfur, gems, crystals, mercury) * 2 + gold / 250 (alternative suggestions are welcome, please share them). Let's also discuss the duration; perhaps from 7 to 29 days. It is extremely important to have a large number of opinions on this issue, as there is an opinion that we have fewer participants in tournaments compared to previous years.

Experience-based tournaments are the best. I only played in one in Heroes of Might and Magic III, but I think it could be made even more interesting in Heroes of Might and Magic II. And it would be better without thousands of ghosts.

I would like to participate in an interesting tournament in June. It would be great if that were possible.

Tournaments lasting longer than three weeks are doomed (this is just my opinion). We need something more dynamic.

Well, 21 days is the minimum time required to gather resources, gold, and experience.

Really? It all depends on the map. You can achieve quite a lot in just 7 days, enough to :eek:. I haven't played the second game, but I think I'm right :)

I checked out one of your maps; it's definitely possible, but it's more suited for the third game.
In the second game, there aren't as many easy ways to gain advantages, like dumping artifacts, gaining experience, or getting resources for killing monsters. I won't even mention spells like "Flight," "Wings," "Boots of Water Walking," "Admiral's Hats," or "Magic Books." Besides that, there aren't as many maps in the second game, and mapmaking isn't as developed. A map should be carefully planned to see if it's suitable for a specific purpose, rather than just being the first one you find with a large number of monsters or resources.

So, what about the next tournament? I can suggest a map – we can play SDV on it – Birthday Cake (or something like that) – starting as Necromancers.

The next tournament is coming up very soon. And we will consider this map for future use!

Well, it seems the tournament has already started, and I even managed to take a look at the map – it’s huge!

Urgent question.
I have an idea to hold the seventh stage of the Van Kanegem Memorial tournament using an experimental format: each participant generates their own starting save! There's a chance to surpass the long-standing record...
Share your thoughts quickly, the tournament starts before the end of the week!

I can generate so much of that, you won't even know what hit you.

I can create something so amazing, you won't believe it!

:)))
Dear colleague, of course, you can't use an editor or otherwise influence the map, but you can generate the initial save file yourself – go ahead!

On a serious note:
1) Heroes will obtain Expert Logistics very early;
2) Maximum chests will be scattered around the Castle;
3) Linear progression of magic/knowledge is needed - please, etc. etc.
4) In the starting city DD, there are enough resources in the piles, and if not, the mill provides the necessary one.

I think it's better to play with a single save. Generating a save will take a lot of time.
