Posts from Stage of the Van Kaneghem Tournaments for HEROES II!!! "Continuing to continue!"

This is my first tournament, what result should I aim for? I've completed it so far.

It is strictly forbidden to discuss how many turns it took to complete the tournament.
We'll forgive you this time, as it's your first time, but please be more careful next time.

We'd be happy to hear any discussions about things like "how did you do," "how many turns did it take," or "what route did you take," but only after the save submissions are closed, i.e., after September 30th. ;)

Good luck.

Oh, sorry, I won't do it again. But there are so few participants... It seems that Heroes 2 is no longer popular, because of Heroes 5.

I would like to apply to participate in the tournament. :smile33:

No, they are popular. On a neighboring, friendly resource, as many as 20 people participated in the last tournament, so maybe someone from them will be suitable.

There aren't many participants... It seems that Heroes 2 isn't as popular anymore because of Heroes 5.

People will join, I hope.

I, for example, only play Heroes 2. And I don't try to switch to any other versions...

Yes, by the way, I'm participating.

I play all sorts of games. That's why I have slightly fewer medals than DR28 :)
I'm having trouble capturing an opponent's Castle. Is there any material on this topic?

I, for example, only play the second game. And I don't try to switch to any other...

I think you can quite successfully play all the first three parts of Heroes, because they are very similar and the differences are not significant. In the fourth, the tactics are completely different, and they are no longer like Heroes. The fifth one lags on my computer, and all this beautiful graphics only distracts from analyzing the map. I still think that Heroes is not a game where graphics are important; developers should primarily pay attention to the gameplay. I hope they will take this into account in the sixth installment.

Well, I wouldn't say that the first three parts are very similar. In the first one, the main strategy is to force the AI to make a bad move, while in the second and third, it's more diverse. The fourth one has different Heroes, and after that, it's just a copy-paste.
If you want to learn from two of the strongest experts in the second game, Victor 92, you won't be disappointed. I'll say goodbye now, as there's a complete tournament mess on a neighboring friendly resource.

Has my save been received? I sent it, but for some reason, I'm not highlighted in bold in the table.

I'm back!

A huge thank you to Kyle for his help; I personally hope he returns as a moderator for this section!

Thank you for pointing out the inaccuracy; it has already been fixed.

Has my save file been received or not? I sent it, but I don't seem to be highlighted in bold in the table.

Your save file has been received!

I'm having trouble capturing an opponent's Castle. Is there any material on this topic?

AlexSpl thoroughly researched this issue, and it is published in the general section for the second game. Also, some information on this topic can be found in numerous articles by Qwerty, but whether I wrote anything separately on this topic, I don't remember anymore.

I have sent the save(s). The map is simple and interesting. I am waiting for the results.

After SDV said those words, he decided to play. Isn't that more fun?

I will most likely make the quorum, even though I will lose to the winner for an eternity.
I have sent the save files.

Okay, Ergon will be number 4 on the list. I'm sending you a save file with the fifth entry.
