I decided to hold a trial offline tournament for Heroes of Might and Magic 4. At the same time, we'll see if it even makes sense to talk about them anymore?

Here are the rules of the tournament:
The game is played ONLY on the version Heroes of Might and Magic IV: Winds of War. You can download patches at here. It is forbidden to use any cheats or bugs in the game. It is also forbidden to use "creeping," based on splitting and merging armies, passing through those sections of maps where passage by conventional means is impossible. However, using obvious flaws of the map editor (holes in barriers, shifted guards, etc.) is allowed. It is forbidden to use one event multiple times (non-disappearing Pandora's box, non-disappearing neutral troops, etc.). If you encounter an unclear or controversial situation, please contact us here. Restarting saves is also prohibited.
It is also advisable not to discuss the tournament on the forum in order to maintain a sporting atmosphere.
All participants are requested to make and save their games at the end of each gaming day and after each ambiguous battle (1 hero against 100 angels, 1 fairy against 300 monsters...).

In this tournament, results are evaluated with priority given to time, i.e., the faster, the better :). Then come points and gold.
Please send your final save to me before October 30, 2006.
The final save should require only one action from me to win (click the auto-battle button if victory in the game is achieved by winning a battle, or click the pass turn button if victory is achieved by passing the turn).

Play fairly, then it will be interesting!
I think that’s all; if something is unclear, write.

This save was made on a map taken from the HeroesPortal map repository.
Map author: Unknown Author HMM IV

Please send winning saves here: v_mynos[сабака]mail.ru

Perhaps we can extend the deadline for submitting the latest save file?
Officially, the deadline is October 19th, right?

Could we extend the deadline for submitting the final save?

It would be great if it could be extended until Monday; I also want to play through the map. I can only do it on the weekend, no earlier.

I would like to ask Mynos, how many people submitted their save files?
I've already seen the map – it definitely deserves some time to play it...
The weekend is great, but if it could be extended even further, it would be simply wonderful!
But this will depend on the participants, how many there are?
If there are few, then it would be worth extending it (in my opinion):)

No one has submitted anything yet, so I think there will be few participants.
I'm extending the tournament deadline by a week and a half, i.e., until October 30, 2006.
I've corrected it in the first post.

Thank you very much. I had even forgotten that the deadline was approaching. I'm torn between playing Heroes 2, 3, and 4!!! Although I play more for my own enjoyment than for the result, I still want to make it to the first tournament!

Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate in the tournament due to a business trip. Although, I probably wouldn't have had time anyway. The map is just too long. It's been almost 3 months, and my army of 15 archangels, 40 monks, and heroes, with the main ones being level 18, can't even take Paradise or get through the dungeon or reach the center – 57 manticores...:( I guess I'm just not good enough at the game, but it's still too long. I don't like offline games where patience is so important...

Hey guys, who actually plays and will DEFINITELY participate?
Am I the ONLY one playing?
Just tell me straight away, otherwise I'm wasting my time!
And what will happen if I send just one save file?

I think there will be enough save files :)

I think that should be enough saves. :)

I hope so. :)
At least, let PAGE send them – it won’t be for nothing! :)
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Prorock.

I think this number of saves will be enough :)

I'm afraid that won't be the case. I won't be able to finish it on time, Natasha is already very busy, and nprf can't. And only 9 people have downloaded the save. :(
I think the map is too difficult for the first tournament, and it won't be possible to complete it without proper effort.
Although, what matters most is not the quantity, but the quality. In the clan tournament, only one player has played 3 games so far, but what a player!

I've encountered a GLITCH:
I was playing a map and saved at a certain stage of the game!

Then, for some stupid reason, I decided to SCOUT THE MAP - I loaded the starting save, entered the code for the full map - looked at everything I wanted, and then...:(

Basically, now no matter which save I open on this map (THE ONE WHERE I WAS PLAYING HONESTLY), the entire map is revealed...
...I've already re-copied the starting save - it DOESN'T help, and I've even restarted the game...:(
Apparently, it's been recorded somewhere now:(

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

Added after 3 minutes
NO!
SOMETHING EVEN WORSE HAPPENED: now no matter what map I launch - it's already revealed...:(...any map...:(
Apparently, the cheat code got embedded in the memory...:(
WHAT TO DO?

IT GOT EVEN WORSE: now, no matter which map I launch – even if it’s already open…:(…any map…:(
It seems like a cheat code got stuck in the memory…:(
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Try entering the cheat code again. Or rename the map. If that doesn’t help, try reinstalling Heroes.

Nightmare, what a mess...:( Three people have already refused, and I had the same problem... ...nothing helps, the password I entered is saved somewhere in the system, because even reinstalling doesn't help! I'm reinstalling Heroes, but no matter what map I open and start, the entire map is still revealed!:( The only thing I haven't tried is using Unistal, maybe it will help!?

The map reveal is canceled by re-entering the code and restarting the game.
