My principle is to "destroy everything that moves and collect everything that is visible." But I don't like playing for speed.
You have to get used to Tournaments!
I calculated that it would not be beneficial FOR ME to attack this poor guy.
The only good thing is that in this round, I made more useful moves than in the previous one. :)

I also don't like speed runs. Although "Forward, Vikings!" is a fun map: you run to one Castle, hire a hero, calculating so that he reaches the next one, and there are also quests! But there is just no time for it.
I once played this map. I didn't have enough patience, even though I knew how to do it.
Starting from the second round, it was very difficult to get used to. Everything is too chaotic there, but still, there was something to think about. In the first round, the map is literally calculated by the day; you could plan each move!
And the third round will be the most interesting because of the arenas. Different lands can change a lot. I think there will be no draws.

I don't like speedruns either. Although "Forward, Vikings!" is a fun map: you rush to one castle, hire a hero with the intention of reaching the next one, and there are also quests! But there's just no time for it.

Starting from the second turn, it was very difficult to get used to. Everything is too chaotic there, but there was still something to think about. In the first turn, the map is literally planned day by day; you could plan each move!
And the third turn will be the most interesting because of the arenas. Different terrains can change a lot. I think there will be no draws.

I know you participated!
But you didn't even come close to first place, somewhere around 8th!

At first glance, the map seemed boring, but each game day makes it more and more interesting. It will be impossible to achieve old records under the current conditions, but I also don't want to fail miserably. I haven't even come up with the perfect strategy yet...:(

I've already completed the third stage of the Third Tournament - I generally liked the map. It took me two tries to figure it out. I'm even thinking about replaying the last 5 days - I forgot something! :):);)

Tell me: should Natasha send the save file to the new email address? She said she was having some problems!?

I've already completed the third stage of the Third Tournament - I generally liked the map. I only needed to play it twice to figure it out. Although, I'm thinking of replaying the last 5 days - I forgot something! :):);)

So far, I've only received one save from Prorock!

Yesterday and today, I couldn't access heroes.ru, so to avoid disputes when summarizing the final results, I ask everyone to send their saves to natasha@pop3.ru.

The other problems I have are not technical, but personal. I'm flying back to the USA on November 5th to take tests, and with my language skills, it will be difficult. That is, my spoken language is fine, but I have trouble with writing. It takes me a while to get used to it.
In the clan tournament, the results should be, on average, higher than before. Firstly, the Grail bug allows you to redeploy your army to the desired location by paying a bribe, and secondly, you can see the actions of the AI and achieve a situation where you, and not it, get the +6 sword, etc.
That is, a good result is within 3 weeks. The hero level restrictions are unlikely to hinder anyone. The absence of elementals is a simulation of the situation with their absence when setting a record for this map!
The best way to complete the map is to quickly capture the center: destroy blue, brown, then purple. Spain and Scandinavia - for later. England at any time when you have free heroes. Also, as with neutral castles.

In the "Forward, Vikings!" map, the starting position was very important! But I was too lazy to develop the seafarers, and I started by conquering England and Spain... As a result, the computer took all the important artifacts, and France and Russia became serious opponents. I had to deal with them first, and only then complete the quests.
In the 3rd round, the map is more interesting, but with a starting position for Inferno, the city portal, which was the key to building a good army in the original version of the map, became less important. And to use the portal, you had to complete a timed quest. Now there is a fire quest. And fire means berserkers and Armageddon. On SoD, you don't even need a quest. But the battle with the golems is too boring, and you have to choose between taking the dungeon or fighting the golems.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to finish the non-clan tournament or the arena tournament. I'm going on a business trip to Tolyatti... :( :( :(
Thank you all for the game!

Thanks to everyone for the game!

I'm very sorry...:(
Now I won't be able to compare my result with yours - this would have been essential for playing better in tournaments.
I hope Paladin will play:)...and maybe natasha will even provide a save, even though it's not a competition:)

Sincerely,
Prorock.

Prorock.

It's a real shame! So, it turns out that I just need to submit a save to win the tournament. I don't want it to be like that!!!
My save is almost ready; I just need to decide whether to fight the golems or not. I hope for understanding; I'll wait for nprf to return. It would be better to extend the tournament deadline if possible.

Or, as a last resort, we can sort it out between ourselves.

I have no doubt about your skill level, but you shouldn't get ahead of yourself.;)
I have a lot of experience playing Heroes, but I have no experience in tournaments...:(
I'm just learning to play "differently" in tournaments.
As Keitaro used to say, my greatest talent is "Learn, learn, and learn again":)

I won't promise you an easy victory, but your participation will be not only USEFUL but also enjoyable... at least for people like me!:)

There's no point in extending it; it just doesn't make sense: first nprf leaves, then natasha. At this rate, we can only finish in December.

The absence of two leaders at once is bad. But there is still Emer-Gen, who has played all the stages. It is clear that the probability of taking a low place is very small, but you still need to play with those who are available until the end. And you can refuse the prize or play it out in a duel later. But first, you need to win it!

The deadline will not be extended, as this is the last, decisive round!

I think PALADIN didn't mean the third round, but the entire tournament as a whole. Here, the chances of winning are really with those who have played all the rounds. And that's him and Emer-Gen...

But so far, only 2 save files have been received: from Prorock and Luminous.

Unfortunately, Luminous's save file will be allowed to participate in the tournament as a non-competitive entry. The game was restarted from the map.:( To start the game again, the starting save file had to be reloaded. The game is played strictly from the ready-made save file so that everyone is on equal terms; otherwise, a lot changes!

A big request directly to Natasha! I don't have enough time to finish the save due to moving and subsequent repairs. Is there any possibility of a small delay? If so, could I postpone sending the save until 12:00 on December 31st?

An original request! And what year is that? :D
I understand that it's December 31st? Well, I'll give you one day! I've given some time before for postal service issues. Especially since only one save is participating in the third round. And with that, Pred becomes the winner of the tournament!!!
But it's better to post the save directly on the forum to avoid unnecessary questions about the deadline for sending it.

Thank you very much! I don't know how to upload it to the forum. I'll send the save file to both addresses.

Besides me, who else sent in a save file?
Will Paladin participate?

Finished the final save. I'm not satisfied with the result and wanted to clarify before sending it. Does a game duration of 40 days mean day 5, week 2, month 2, i.e., 2-2-5?

That's right, 225!
Well done for managing to finish – now you're the main contender for victory! :)

Best regards,
Prorock.

Just sent the save file for round 3. It's not very strong, of course. I didn't even try to defeat the golems; I played as Mephala – simple and reliable, as they say. My average level is 22, I have 43 hydras, almost 90 cows, and other units. Due to lack of time, I didn't complete some quests, which will clearly affect the result, but the main thing is not victory, but participation!
