Posts from Tournaments hassles HMM II

Seriously though:
1) Heroes will get 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 Dimension Door, there are enough resources in the piles, and if not, the mill provides the necessary one.

I forgot to mention that all neutrals are exceptionally friendly.;)

It wouldn't be very sporting to use your own save files. In that case, everyone would have to play with all the available starting saves and average the results.

If you remember, we discussed completing the "Pyramid" map in 7 days. In this case (as always, when it comes to a map completion record), a starting save file was generated.
So, there's nothing unfair about it; just as we generate the actions of companions or morale/luck in battle, we generate a starting save file. On a map of size S (small), there aren't too many objects to generate.
And I think this tournament will result in a new record for this map!!!

True, but those who know how to cast the right spell in the Pyramid have a certain advantage... ;)

It is doubtful that on most small maps, and even some medium ones, it is reasonable to play for breaking through the Pyramid, even with Dimension Door. You need Wisdom, as well as an army.

And is VK-2 expected this year? Will it be held at Buk again?

Will VK-2 be held this year? Will it be held at Buk again?

Good afternoon.
Yes, VK-2 is expected this year. Yes, this tournament is the only one where this restriction applies. By the way, as far as I know, some of your fellow countrymen have this version. Perhaps they can share the disk image through the Novosibirsk network.

Dear colleagues,
I propose that we constructively and actively discuss our future prospects here.
Your opinion is really important to me; for example, while working on a map for the last tournament, I constantly thought about the suggestion that AlexSpl made.
The more suggestions and wishes you have, the better.

I am ready for discussion.

What are we talking about?

There is a suggestion, and let it not offend anyone, but it would be better to abandon the Arena format, as it is unclear and cumbersome. It would be more interesting and simpler to hold a tournament based on collecting monsters, resources, or experience. Or, this tournament could be held in one stage without additional battles, based on mathematical formulas and calculations developed by the judges.

Gradually, the Van Kanegem Tournament has evolved from a large-scale event, as it was originally intended, into a competition of the best of the best. However, my idea was somewhat different: to allow the "broad masses of heroes" to learn from true Masters. If you recall the last 5 Van Kanegem Tournaments in the second Heroes game, it will become clear that they were all "intentional," with each containing a specific educational example. However, for some reason, the popularity of the tournaments is declining. If this trend continues, it would be better for me to feature non-educational maps in the tournament, because there is nothing left for you or SDV to learn from me, but real, global battle arenas...

Different types of tournaments are needed. I have written a lot about arenas on various websites, and I will try to briefly describe the idea now.
In online tournaments, there is a concept called "Final Battle," FB, etc. The essence is simple: it is a meeting of the main heroes with their entire "arsenal," that is, with a maximally powerful army and everything else.
These FBs have always been distinguished by their spectacle, a clearly expressed psychological and gaming aspect, a large number of tactical ideas, and sometimes very unconventional ones. I would very much like to give examples, but I am afraid of inadvertently giving hints to those who are currently playing the arena.
The arena is essentially a mixture of a tournament for assembling an army, leveling up a hero, with the art of predicting the opponent's strategy and countering it by arranging units and selecting them.
A tournament for assembling the most powerful army was conceived by me a long time ago, but it has not been implemented yet. Perhaps I will do it this year, but how interesting will it be? Practice shows that the arena is one of the most interesting forms of tournaments. The arena has only two main drawbacks: a long playing time (which increases the likelihood of inaccuracies or errors) and the issue of judging the final battles. But, I hope, the trust in the judges is sufficient to enjoy this magnificent competition!

We simply need to remove the game version restriction on Canigame. There is no difference between the English and Russian versions, except for the wonderful, masterful translations like "rhinoceros," "jotunn," and "guy." Then, more people will be willing to participate.

Is the 7th stage coming soon? Although the winners are already known. Oh, I forgot, I don't have the "Beast" unit.

Ugh... What is this?

This is the official version from Буки, and ONLY on this version are the van Kanegem memorial tournaments held, which Sir Tundaks was offered to host in various ways, but he keeps refusing to move to St. Petersburg...
