Posts from The 8th stage of the John Van Caneghem Tournament (Interportal).

I think that Earth book + a maxed-out Wizard at level 112 can defeat Ifrits. The idea is to use a lot of Earth elementals, but I haven't tested it.

112... that early? And with what army?
It's clear that you need snipers, dragonflies, and mass slowing, but...

Well, you wrote it all yourself :) All that's left is to implement it. What's the problem???
On the first day, capture all cities except Necropolis. Place a fast hero in front of the Efreet, focusing on speed. Someone takes Pandora with experience and the Book of Earth, leveling up Expert Earth Magic and Archery! (other useful bonuses are welcome. Ideally, at least get basic Tactics). And this hero gets the Dragon Crown.
On the second day, gather all archers and upgrade them to Snipers with the help of Jelu (get to 20+), add dragonflies, orcs, and lizards. Learn Blessing from Adela and go. You need to position them correctly and shoot effectively.
After the battle, the logistics hero captures Necropolis and kills Galtran.

Efreet or Ifrit?
In the physical copy, one thing is used, and in the game (complete collection, Book Edition), another.

This is a philosophical question. Personally, I think that Efrit is correct, as in the original, but I don't know exactly how it's translated into Russian, but it seems to be E.

I think that the Book of Earth + a leveled-up mage on level 112 can defeat Ifrits.
The idea is to place many Earth Elementals, but I haven't tested it.

Unfortunately, there is cursed earth, so our spells only work for Slow and Bless.

Regarding deletion – I didn’t think about a buyout, and I probably wouldn’t be able to pull it off. I don’t have much experience yet. Thanks for the answer. I’m glad that I understood at least something correctly.

Almost forgot, when is the next tournament? :) (on heroesworld)

Regarding the removal – I didn't think of using a buyout.

How could you not think of that? All offline tournaments are built on this trick.

and I probably won't be able to pull it off. I don't have enough experience yet.

For this, you just need to test it during scouting. Spend 20-30 minutes running a battle, and you'll know everything.

Almost forgot, when is the next tournament? :) (on heroesworld)

But is it even needed? In this tournament on Heroesworld, you were the only one playing. :(
Here's your homework. Defeat the Efreet. :)

In this tournament with HeroesWorld only you played. :(

I think not only me; I, for instance, also took part (starting with this tournament), but naturally my result didn't give me any right to hope for even a remotely decent place, so I didn't send the save, and I believe I'm not the only one... although in principle, the tournament is inter-portal, and from which site to download the save doesn't matter....

By the way, you can defeat the ifrits on day 2 even without snipers. ;) P.S. Our Clan War is starting... where is the World team? Are they all asleep? Some of ours are also asleep... but others have woken up... 61 people have already registered for this Clan War... Dirty_Player, don't you want your team to join us in the tournament?)))

Where is the World team?

I'm also interested in this question. :)

Redemption-buyback, haven't used it even once... To be honest, in this tournament, I calculated the distance between castles cell by cell for the first time, multiplied it by 0.65, and checked which hero would make it in time. "Food chains" for transferring armies and artifacts and winning against monsters with a minimal army haven't worked out yet. Well, at least I mastered the hero-digger.
And think about the next tournament. I would play. Not a strong reason, of course :). The only thing is, I wouldn't really like a map focused on collecting monsters or resources within a certain time; it's better to focus on speed. In general, I like the site, the tournaments and maps are good, so why not continue the tradition.
I understand that you don't want to waste your energy and time. Maybe as an option, create a thread for people who want to play, for example, next month, and, if there are enough of them, organize it, if you can, of course.
Sorry for going off-topic from this tournament.

At least he mastered the hero that focuses on digging.

It's high time to start playing seriously. It seems like you understand the game; all that's left is to add some diligence, and victories will come :)

And think about the next tournament. I would play. Not a big deal, though :).

The next tournament on the schedule is Best of the Best, tentatively starting around the new year.

That's why I didn't send the save.

That's exactly the point. Without a save, it's a waste of time. And if only 1-2 saves are submitted, it's a disgrace for the organizer :(

The preliminary results of the tournament have been recognized as final!
Thank you all! See you next time! ;)

HEY PEOPLE, WHO SHOULD I BEAT IN THE TOURNAMENT?! I’M TIRED OF PLAYING AGAINST THE AI.

Okay... I want to participate! I've downloaded and installed everything. Should I start playing, or should I notify someone? What are the current minimum time limits?

The tournament has already ended. The results and winners are on the previous page.

Which tournament should I play in? Who should I fight against?

Hey, everyone! And these are supposed to be the best maps???? I'm shocked. I play Heroes of Might and Magic Online on the largest maps, and they are always randomly generated by the map generator, so they are always different. Now that's what I call maps. But in tournaments, there are some parodies of maps. Maybe someone can convince me otherwise?

The month emerged from the fog... Geopartizan, try playing these maps and compare your result with the results of the leaders.
Maps created by the generator should not be taken seriously. Any of them can be completed in 5-10 game days without much effort.
