Congratulations to the players from St. Petersburg on their brilliant victory!

Preliminary tournament results.

Dear colleagues,
First of all, I was very pleased with the great interest in the tournament. It fills my heart with joy to see the mighty deeds of heroes.
Regarding the results, DR28 and SDV have solidified their reputation as the strongest players in the Russian-speaking internet. This will be reflected in Qwerty's most subjective player ranking.
I am also delighted by the return to the world of heroes of one of the strongest players of 2004 - Havr.
Tolikandro and corksink also left a very good impression. I would like to see them more often in tournaments.
The very good results of APOSTOLs and Registr also inspire positive feelings.
But the true hero of these difficult competitions, personally for me, was Sir CJIONuK! The quality growth of the player's strength demonstrated during the tournament inspires sincere respect.

Thank you for the good game!
To be continued!

The results of the tournament are considered final!

Dear Qwerty, I understand that the Ghost Invasion tournament is already over. I recently played this map and am very surprised by how one can gather 4,000 Ghost Witches in just 5 days. Are the saves of the esteemed DR28 a secret? Could I take a look at them to understand how he did it? I hope for a response. Pavel.

Pavel, good afternoon.
After reinstalling Windows, I no longer have the daily saves.
If the esteemed DR28 still has them, it would be great if they appeared in this thread.

Dear DR28, I wrote him a letter, I hope he will reply. By the way, it would be good if he always uploaded his saves as a reference, because he is always in 1st place (I take my hat off to him) :)

It seems pretty simple there; a bunch of resources are gathered by secondary heroes to build 4 levels of magic, the level 5 spell is Dimension Door, and ghosts are brought to the main hero. Then, a kitted-out hero with lots of movement points and spell points jumps many times to the most profitable spots for feeding ghosts. In general, in Two, Dimension Door is just an incredibly powerful thing, because the number of moves is limited only by the amount of mana and movement, which can be simply astronomical, considering artifacts, artesian wells, oases, stables.

I don't understand the part about the 5 days and the 4000 ghosts; there simply aren't that many on the map. There are about two thousand, yes, they "exist" there, but where do I get 4 thousand? The sequence of actions is clear; I acted accordingly. But the number 4000 raises questions...

There is a village there where the bulk of their potential number is located; perhaps you overlooked it. I didn't play the map myself—with my modest skill level, I thought it would be too difficult, but it turned out not to be quite like that.

I found a quote from a winner on another resource:
"Two heroes went up, and three went right. I leveled up wisdom, pathfinding, and logistics. On the fourth day, they surrendered; on the fifth, I built Dimension Door and jumped. I used a scroll. I didn't sail anywhere. Ghosts were gathered starting from the village around the oases, visiting the artesian spring twice. After the oases, the well—and then to the Castle in the bottom right."

Thanks for the information. Indeed, if you don't sail anywhere, it's faster... Although, I don't understand where the 4,000 come from. There's no one in the villages. There are, of course, 1000 archers, and in the lower right corner of the castle, there are about 900 centaurs + hydras. I haven't figured out where to get the other 2000 yet. :confused:

I sent the saves Ghosts.zip,
but I'm not sure if the link works. The final save should show which monsters I killed.

Added 9 minutes later

by the way, it would be good to always upload his saves as a standard,
because he is always in 1st place (I take my hat off to him) :)

Oh, come on, after this tournament, I didn't win anything at all. It all depends on my mood: inspiration strikes - I win. I can't, like SDV, sit and work on a map down to every detail.

I checked the saves. I understand everything now.
Talent can't be wasted with alcohol :))
DR is a monster :smile49:
