Joint Tournament for Heroes of Might and Magic II across three resources:
HeroesWorld, HeroesLeague, and HeroesPortal

"Skeleton Recruitment"




Tournament Rules:

1. General Provisions:

1.1. The tournament will be held from October 22 to November 25, 2010.
1.2. The tournament is held simultaneously on three Internet resources: HeroesLeague, HeroesPortal, and HeroesWorld.
1.3. The tournament is held on the following game versions:
Heroes II: The Price of Loyalty 2.1 (English), Heroes II: The Price of Loyalty 2.1 (Russian).
Playing on earlier versions of the game, where many bugs have not been fixed, is not permitted.
Playing in DOS and switching between different versions is prohibited.
1.4. Tournament winners receive rewards corresponding to each resource (rating, statuses, etc.) on each of the resources.
1.5. The player who achieves the highest placement among participants playing in the JOINT tournament is declared the winner of the joint tournament.
1.6. ATTENTION!!! Throughout the tournament, the player IS OBLIGED to make saves at the beginning or end (both options are mandatory) of EVERY game day and store them on their computer! The judge has the right to demand daily walkthrough saves and explanations from ANY player, including the description of the tactics for a specific battle.
In the absence of satisfactory explanations (from the judges' point of view), the player's result will be annulled.
If a satisfactory walkthrough description is provided, but the necessary saves are missing, the player is credited with a defeat. The statute of limitations (the period during which daily saves must be kept) is 7 days after the round results are finalized.
1.7. The tournament leaders are Dust on HeroesLeague, Lady Lion Star on HeroesPortal, and Qwerty on HeroesWorld.
1.8. The player must name their final save with their nickname followed by an "S" and send it to: hmm2@mail.ru

2. Walkthrough Restrictions:

2.1. It is strictly PROHIBITED to use cheat codes, forbidden bugs, or game exploits during the final run, to hack saves, or to manipulate computer players in hot-seat mode. The use of standard cheat codes for initial scouting of the save is permissible. However, after scouting, the player must load the starting save and begin the game again.
2.2. Rule for digging up the Ultimate Artefact (UA). The UA can only be dug up after visiting ALL obelisks. To prove this fact, the player must send another save along with their final save, showing that all obelisks were visited before digging up the UA. "UA" must be added to the end of the name of such a save.
2.3. Moving a hero who has been ransomed after fleeing/paying off in battle on the day they fled/paid off. Ransoming such a hero is permitted on the day of fleeing/paying off;
ransoming and moving a hero who was dismissed/died in battle is permitted only on the day after their dismissal/death;
if a hero fled/paid off/died in battle during a turn transition, they can be ransomed and moved immediately;
2.4. Visiting graveyards, demon caves, and ghost ships. Visiting ships with skeletons is permitted.
2.5. The use of "Haunt" magic and the "feeding" technique for spirits is prohibited; i.e., only one battle with a given squad of spirits is permitted, and it is mandatory to make a save before the battle and immediately after it.
2.6. Purchasing spirits (ghosts) is prohibited.
2.7. The use of +5 monster growth weeks and double monster population months is prohibited. If such weeks and months occur, the player must "reload" until such weeks and months no longer appear. In case of significant difficulty, the player may send a PM (private message) to the tournament judge; if the judge decides that this phenomenon does not distort the Gameplay, further play may be permitted.

3. Tournament Goal:

3.1. The goal of the tournament is to gather 1000 skeletons for a single hero in the minimum amount of game time.
3.2. The primary victory criterion is the number of days. The secondary criterion in the event of a tie in days is the number of skeletons.

4. Preparing the Final Save.

4.1. The final save should be made at the end of the game day after obtaining 1000 skeletons with one hero.
4.2. Skeletons must be collected by one hero. If skeletons are held by several heroes, the number of skeletons for ANY hero chosen by the judges will be counted.
4.3. The email with the save must contain:
-) the winning save itself;
-) the subject of the email - the player's nickname;
-) the nicknames used on all three resources;

For example, the email subject: Skeleton Recruitment - Alex_R,
a save named Alex_R S is attached to the email, and the email body states: nickname on League - such-and-such, nickname on Portal - Alex_R HW, nickname on World - Alex_R.

5. Everything about the Starting Save

5.1. Download the save and map.
Note: The save and map are archived using WinRar 3.62.
5.2. The downloaded save must be placed on your computer in the Games folder within the directory where Heroes 2 is installed.
5.3. Load it and begin the game at any time convenient for you, remembering to make daily saves at the beginning and end of each game day.
5.4. Save upon achieving the desired result, naming the save according to the requirements.
5.5. A full description of the tournament map is encouraged (optional).
5.6. Send this save to the specified address (in these tournament rules).
5.7. Wait for the results to be finalized.

The tournament results are considered final. There were many good ideas, and the winner's walkthrough – DR28 – is simply magnificent!
