It would be great if there was also a guide on torrents.

BitTorrent is a data exchange protocol over the internet, the essence of which is that you exchange data with other participants in the network. Hence, the main principle is to upload as much as you download.

1)

First, you need to install a torrent client. A program that you will use to download and upload files from torrents.ru.

For Windows:

* µTorrent (recommended 1.6.1/1.7.5)
* BitComet (recommended 0.7x/0.8x)
* Shareaza
* BitSpirit
* ABC

Cross-platform:

* Azureus
* MLDonkey
* BitTornado

Personally, I use µTorrent - it's a perfectly adequate program =)

You can download version uTorrent 1.6.1 here
You can download version uTorrent 1.7.7 here
You can download version uTorrent 1.8.2 here
(language packs are already included in the archives)

2)

3) How to download a single file?

You can find more detailed information and answers to various questions here

I don't have time to mess around with torrents right now, and my internet connection speed isn't high enough to seed properly for many people at once. That's why I'll upload the new arrivals to Rapidshare, as it works well there :) This time, I was recording a real match; unfortunately, there were frequent disconnects, plus dealing with the video is quite distracting, and when the main battle started, the camera happened to be off (I hit the wrong hotkey and poof)... The game was for a Clans Tournament, opponent SEM-56 — my blue Dungeon against Castle. Only the first week has been processed so far, which is what I'm posting. My apologies in advance for the voiceover; I caught a cold a few days ago. A total of 3.5 weeks made it into the video; the most frustrating part is that it cut off right before taking the Dragon Utopia.

I don't have time to deal with torrents right now, and my internet connection isn't fast enough to distribute files to many people at once. So, I'll upload the new content to Rapidgator, as it works well. This time, it was a recording of a real game, but unfortunately, there were frequent disconnections, and dealing with the video was distracting, so when the most intense part of the game started, the camera was turned off (I mixed up the hotkey and... poof). The game was for a clan tournament; my opponent was SEM-56 – my blue dungeon against his castle. Only the first week has been processed so far, and that's what I'm uploading. I apologize in advance for the voiceover; I caught a cold the other day. In total, the video covers 3.5 weeks, and the most frustrating thing is that it ended right before taking the utopia.

Mizrael, do you have the option to load from a save file from the day before taking the utopia and record it as a separate video file? If you still have the saves, of course.

I always have save files; it's just a matter of having the time. Right now (while I'm sick), I've been working on videos. By the way, did the "сера" inspire you to create a "трибуна"? :D

I apologize, I constantly confuse sir and ser when writing :(, and sir is just the customary address on the heroesportal, which is where I mainly hang out.

Added after 1 hour 29 minutes
Updated the torrent: added the first week for the dungeon from sir Mizrael plus taking the Griffin Conservatory 2 on the first week and max-level units on the second week, plus several breakthroughs of shooter blocks on the first week (if I'm not mistaken, also from sir Mizrael and sir Dirty_Player).

Good evening, everyone. I downloaded Mizrael's video about the first week, and the second week is still downloading. The video about the dungeon is very helpful, as I'm currently playing as Dungeon in my favorite games, but I'm not very good at it. To be honest, I expected a little more... I'll allow myself to complain a bit, please don't be offended by this fool :) Almost always on the second day, when playing as Dungeon, I build 1000 units underground, and I hoped the video would dissuade me... but instead, it only reinforced my belief that this is the right approach. Moreover, it turns out to be the opposite of Konstantin's video about the first week, focusing on the Tower faction. Konstantin takes, if I'm not mistaken, 20 Goblins. And the question arises: what if he took the maximum number – what would the result of the battle be? And the answer is immediately clear: the next Goblin lair – maximum units, almost without losses, although without morale, but that's okay. And here, on the contrary – what if there were 15, and a couple of morale bonuses? I wouldn't have ventured into a Goblin lair with 15 units and this number of Trolls before watching the video, and I still won't. So, the video didn't teach me anything. While I was writing this post, the second week finished downloading, so I'm going to watch it now

Клан Homo homini

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth...

I wouldn't even try to maximize efficiency with this setup, that's one. The video isn't meant to be a tutorial, that's two. This is a real game, and the situation isn't ideal. It feels like you could take on level 15 with these forces, but the troglodytes will definitely take a beating, and you'd probably have to sacrifice harpies to remove the debuffs instead of using mages to tank. It's strange – you asked for a real game, but it turns out it's not what you wanted...

2Mizrael: will the dungeon run be available next week? On the contrary, watching a real game is interesting; it's a regular game, and I don't think everyone needs to be taught how to defeat neutrals. The overall process is interesting, just like watching a replay in Warcraft – many things become clearer and easier to understand, and it's also interesting to listen to the discussions.

I wouldn't even touch the maximum difficulty with such a setup, that's one. The video isn't educational at all, that's two. This is a real game, and the situation isn't ideal; it feels like you could take level 15 with these forces, but the trolls will definitely be reduced by half, and you'd have to sacrifice harpies to remove the debuffs instead of tanking with mages. It's strange somehow – they asked for a real game, but it turns out they didn't need it...

On the contrary, it's great!! The situation is tough, and this is exactly what puts me off this template!!! Many would turn back in an easy situation, but these kinds of games are what's needed! The tension of the battle is what makes your subconscious and conscious mind work together! There's no progress without risk, in my opinion!

Sir invisible reviewed your video and would like to share his suggestions: it is necessary to record with a higher resolution, for example, 640*480, because the numbers are practically indistinguishable; you can only barely guess them. Also, audio accompaniment would be nice to hear (at least in key moments), which will not significantly affect the size but will definitely add clarity to your ideas and plans (because it is not always clear to a beginner what the purpose of certain actions of experienced players is).

Yes, the video quality could be better. It's interesting to listen to the commentary, but if that's not possible, you can still enjoy the video without it. I think it's interesting to watch this video, not just for beginners (and I doubt there are many new players here anymore, but it's still interesting to watch some techniques and, in general, a well-played game).

Besides, it turns out to be somewhat the opposite of Konstantin's video from the first week, where he attacks a tower.
Konstantin, if I'm not mistaken, takes on the Dwarven Stronghold, with 20 units. And the question arises: what if he had used the maximum number of units – what would the outcome of the battle have been? And the answer is immediately clear: the next attack on the Dwarven Stronghold, with almost no losses, although without morale, but that's okay.

Here, it's necessary to distinguish between ranged damage and melee damage. When I attacked the Dwarven Stronghold with Gremlins, my plan was to run around and kite those Dwarfs. But with 50 Trogols and 2 Minotaurs, you have to fight and take damage in return. And Shakti didn't attack the Dwarven Stronghold because he had a good reason. Personally, I would have played it a little differently. On level 111, I would definitely have upgraded the Trogols, and I think it would have been possible to attack the Merfolk right away. I don't think Harpies are needed at all on level 111. At the end of level 111, Tunara (by the way, also a feminine name) could have defeated Shakti. And then, instead of building such long chains to extract the Shield, I would have had Shakti take it right away, and immediately build a chain for Golems and Necromancer units. Simply because of this chain, a lot of time was lost. IMHO. Miz, don't take this as criticism, it's just my noobish analysis. ;)

P.S.: To all the Heroes of Might and Magic video creators. Don't get hung up on quality! High-quality videos are more enjoyable to watch. With today's unlimited internet, I don't think downloading an extra 100-200 MB is a problem for most people. And of course, a video without commentary can hardly be called educational. And editing is definitely necessary!

Regarding the upgrade of Trogs... Usually, there is a point to it, but you always need to assess based on the layout. If I encounter easy blocks in the first few days, there will be no upgrade - let's calculate how much money it requires: 1000 for construction, 750 for every 50 Trogs, totaling 3k on average. That's a guaranteed unpurchased hero, not to mention the loss of building tempo. And if there are no Harpies, it's a total bust. For me, upgrading Trogs is 100% justified only if I see 2-3 Dwarf Cottages near the Castle or many blocks with speed 6. As for the thought process in the game - there's no point in touching the Water Elementals right away; let's level up the main hero first, it'll be easier later. The blocks are easy (Pokemons, Dwarves, Devils - laughable), day three: the entire respawn is in plain sight, the plan is simple and clear - go all out, but the Minotaurs with the Portal and the buyback must be in place, and resources are just enough for that (on day 3, it's still not too late to upgrade Trogs if needed, for example, to break through Elves, but in that game, there were no prerequisites on the respawn for an upgrade). I thought about upgrading the Trogs, I won't lie, because there were few of them and it would have been quite useful in that case, but I decided to hold off and am very glad I did - otherwise I would've thrown 3k to the wind and goodbye to the striking stack of Minos.
