I have a suggestion to not delay the start of the second round! That is, to post the assignment, as planned, on Monday, which will be September 18th. And the submission of saves from the first round can be until the 21st - that's fair. Moreover, I see that judging by the number of downloads, people are just starting to play! :)

I agree, I will do so. The assignment for the second round will be posted on the evening of Monday, September 18th!
I will not be on the forum in the coming days. I apologize for the forced absence.

I’ll probably participate in the tournament too. I hope I’ll have enough time for the first stage – 10 days.

I don’t understand, are hero classes disabled in the Town Editor? I wanted to level up the Sage class; it requires Wisdom, Magic, Intelligence, and Literacy. I maxed out the first two on Expert difficulty, and the rest are at their base levels. The hero is level 11, but nothing is happening, and no class is being granted. Can someone explain?

I don't understand, are hero classes disabled in TE? I wanted to upgrade the Sage class, which requires Wisdom, Magic, Intelligence, and Literacy. I upgraded the first two to expert, the rest to basic. Hero level 11. Nothing was given, no class. Explain.

I wish you good luck; the starting assignment is relatively easy. You just need to correctly calculate when to build and what. Everything else depends only on skill. It took me a couple of days. I think everyone who starts now will be able to manage! :)
Regarding the question: as far as I know, hero classes were not prohibited in the starting save! There are only restrictions in the map editor that make it impossible to obtain some of them. The Sage class definitely does not belong to such, although I chose a different development for the main hero. Sometimes the class is given the next day; if it is needed immediately, then you should press the "H" key (in the English keyboard layout).
If nothing helps, try sending your save to Horn (the TE developer); perhaps this is some kind of bug, and he will be able to understand its cause.
In any case, if your main hero upgrades the skills of the Sage class, they will be taken into account in the arena!
Well, in the game itself, I think a level 11 hero will cope with the tasks.

I've tried different approaches. If I simply start the map with my hero, the skill levels up properly. Everything works – but if I load from this save, the skill doesn't increase. If you promise, I'll level up the necessary skills for the Wizard class, as having extra points for magic and knowledge will be beneficial later on.
P.S. My hero won't be level 11. I promise to reach level 20!

I checked the starting save again. I took Nela and used codes to immediately level her up in two classes: Sage and Warrior. Everything works normally.
The manual has the following information about the ban:
"A class can be banned in the game. To do this, you need to find the Classes ban section in the Data\TE.ini settings file and change the value for the banned classes from “0” to “1” (see Note 4)."
But considering that everything works after restarting from the map, the reason is probably not that the class is directly banned on your computer."
Everyone who has problems with classes not leveling up from the start should check this file!!! And it's very easy to check: Shakti learns the Scout skill from the scholar and becomes Speedy, you need to immediately press H and see the scrolling text!

The Sage class bonus on the arena will be taken into account.
But there is a small nuance. When creating arenas, the heroes placed on them are not exactly as they are! This applies to specialists in attack (Kreg and Gundula), defense (Tazar, Nela, Mephala), shooting (Orrin), and intelligence (Aiden, Andra, Ellezar).
Their levels are automatically reduced, which means your hero will have +6 to magic power and knowledge, but the amount of mana will be as if your hero is not level 21, but only level 7 (only if it's Andra, Aiden, or Ellezar).

But considering that everything works fine after restarting the map, the issue is likely not that the class is specifically prohibited on your computer. "
For everyone whose classes aren't leveling up from the start, you should check this file!!!

It's absolutely irrelevant what's in this file for the players because it's read during the game's startup and isn't used afterward. If a class is prohibited, this prohibition is "hardcoded" into the save file during its generation, meaning it's important how the checkboxes were set when the save file was created.
Also, I'd like to note that it's preferable to use Alt+click on the hero's portrait in the player's hero list to obtain a class, rather than the "h" button (which doesn

It is absolutely irrelevant what is in this file for the players, because it is read at the start of the game and is not used afterwards. If a class is prohibited, then this prohibition is "embedded" in the save file when it is generated, that is, it is important how the checkboxes were set when the save file was generated.
Also, I would like to note that it is preferable to use Alt+click on the hero's face in the list of player heroes to obtain a class, rather than the "h" button (it does not always work).

Thank you for the clarification.
I am not entirely knowledgeable in this matter, and I was guided by my experience playing on early versions of TE.
The Wizard class is definitely allowed in the starting

I'm interested in knowing: will the hero fight alongside the army, or will only the army fight without the hero?

I am interested in the following question: will the hero fight together with the army, or will only the army fight without the hero? :)

Yes, the hero fights together with the army. That's what makes it interesting! It won't be an auto-battle simulator, but rather a choice of the best tactics for conducting the battle!!!
I highly recommend trying it. And you can download an example arena in the official tournament results!

Both the hero and the army will be present. How to do it is described here:
/topic/157/
You can download the arena file and try out your hero!
But everything is so easy and simple for Tournament Edition!!! :)
And if you haven't installed it, then you will have to do everything manually in the map editor. :(
Well, an example of an arena can be seen based on the results of the 2nd tournament – here:

Finally finished working on the save file. I hope my hero will be worthy. I decided not to level up the Wizard class for my own reasons.

Thank you for participating in the first round!
I have posted the assignment for the 2nd round in the first post of the topic.
When preparing it, I took into account the main wishes of the tournament participants and just the "forum users".
The wishes were as follows:
· We want to play with all TE settings!
· We want a huge map!
· We want to play as the race we love!
