natasha;42642The save submission phase is complete. There are 3 participants: Armagedda, Prorock, and Ta Kotoraya.
And I am not participating in the competition because I couldn't upload my save on time, and I believe it would be unacceptable to violate the rules of the tournament organizer.
Tomorrow, I will send all tournament participants a form for submitting prize requests. We will summarize the results in the coming days.

Excellent!
But at the beginning, you, natasha, said about 3 weeks...:-):-)
...and in reality, it turned out to be 2!:-):-)
The idea was good – to conquer Europe from the periphery, and the result is also excellent.
This morning, I sat down and still managed to defeat the red player one day earlier, but I could not improve the result - simply because there were not enough Heroes.
BUT IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PLAY BETTER - and this is REAL!

We will wait for the results.

Sincerely,
Prorock.

Well, with a result of 3 weeks, that doesn't look very impressive! And I didn't want to scare off newcomers with amazing records. I played according to standard settings. But I probably won't be able to beat the record for this map.
The plan to use stables and buy accelerated heroes with an army to transfer them to Russia and Italy did not quite work out. Indeed, there are not enough heroes, and the AI does not want to attack well-defended castles! After all, you need to land in the center of the map...

Tournament Results:
1st place - Prorock - 2 weeks
2nd place - Armagedda - 3 weeks
3rd place - Ta Kotoraya - more than a month.

P.S. Knowledge is power!!! ;) ;) ;)

I lost to Natasha by 7 days. So it wasn't me who won, but I still have to learn :).

Thank you for participating. See you at the League Championship (I already sent the save) and our next tournaments ;) I hope that next time, the attitude towards tournaments on HeroesWorld will be more serious! :)
Even if there are only a few players here, they exist!!!!

ATTENTION!!! ALL PARTICIPANTS OF THE TOURNAMENT WHO WISH TO RECEIVE A BONUS FOR PARTICIPATION ARE REQUESTED TO URGENTLY FILL OUT THE FORM POSTED HERE: /topic/at/30734/ AND SEND IT TO ME AT natasha@heroes.ru!

Greetings!

Natasha, I was actually not far from the map record, but don't forget that the conditions were slightly different.
I had a bad start—I lost 1-2 days compared to the record-holders (it was impossible to level up Expert Navigation), and it wasn't just a day that was missed, but the opportunity to solve many problems by smothering many countries in their cradles while they were still asleep!

In the end, I also lost 1 day due to imperfect organization of the attack on the red player.
Ultimately, in principle, it would have been possible to improve the result from 127 to 125. For now, 124 seems unrealistic to me (...well, for now;))!

But I'll tell you honestly, my result of 127 pleasantly shocked and surprised me.
I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH MY RESULT.
Before, this was fantasy to me, but thanks to this tournament, it became a REALITY!
At the very least, IT taught me a lot.

ONLY HE WHO DID NOT TRY AND DID NOT PARTICIPATE WILL NOT LEARN!

Question for Natasha: what is this bonus?

Respectfully,
Prorock.

Good time of day!

Natasha, I was actually not far from the map record, but don't forget that the conditions were a little different.
I had a bad start - I lost 1-2 days compared to the record holders (it was impossible to upgrade to Expert Navigation), not only a day was missed, but also the opportunity to solve many problems by stifling many countries in their infancy, while they were still asleep!

In the end, I also lost 1 day due to the imperfect organization of the attack on the red player.
As a result, in principle, it was possible to improve the result from 127 to 125. For now, it seems unrealistic to me to get 124 (...well, for now;)).!

But I will tell you honestly that my result of 127 pleasantly surprised and amazed me.
I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY RESULT.
Before, it was a fantasy for me, but thanks to this tournament, it became a REALITY!
At the very least, it taught me a lot.

ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE NOT TRIED AND HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED WILL NOT LEARN!

Sincerely,
Prorock.

I agree, the main factor on this map is the start. In the record save, one of the sailors had navigation upgraded immediately to expert, and the other by level 4. I think it wasn't quite right to start with England. As far as I remember, there used to be a trick: show your hero with one gargoyle to the green player and lure him into the whirlpools! It is desirable that the red player takes the main forces to the second castle, we take his starting castle, and he returns. Then, from the swamp castle, we jump into the barbarian castle. The computer goes back, and that's exactly what we need! We finish him off by building a Stronghold or Castle. All this happens within a week!
But now the conditions were easier! There is always money!

That's a pity. But you can try your hand at this map again in the "Roads of Heroes" tournament. The save has been updated! Details in the topic of the new tournament. There are three tasks: for speed, hero leveling, and creature collection. You can play any that you like, and there will be a separate score for each task!
Good luck!

Was there a tournament held for Heroes of Might and Magic IV before?

In the current "First blood" tournament, there were also few participants – only 7 people, but more than half of them couldn't... :(
Only I sent in a save (in my opinion), and the deadline has already passed... :(
Strannik is participating, but he again doesn't have enough time!

It's frustrating... :( ...because I didn't just play, I also made phenomenal progress! I would definitely have gotten far ahead of the others... :(

Natasha, is it true that when we finalize the ranking system, all OLD achievements will be counted?

Sincerely,
Prorock.

If there were no participants, then there is no rating. The calculation system works by subtracting points from the loser and adding them to the winner.
But you should still request the reward in your profile, even though Pred didn't receive it for the second tournament with three heroes in exactly the same situation! But it wasn't important to him because they gave him the prize.
And the result is good! Although I simply don't know how to play Heroes of Might and Magic IV!!! I wanted to learn, but the map isn't for learning; it's specifically for the tournament! And that's right!!!

Tournament with three tasks. You can start with any task you like!!!
There is a "Forward, Vikings!" map again, especially for those who were a little late!

WHAT???
I was following your example, I did it because of you ... I pushed myself to the limit!
I thought you would show a phenomenal RESULT, then tell us everything, teach us... :)

I beat Natasha by exactly one day!;)

Now it seems that I will have to reveal the secret formula:)

Interesting results! :eek:
Congratulations!!!
Can you explain where, who deployed what, and on which days what was taken.

On this map, anything less than a month is already a good result, although ideally it's 12-16 days. Much depends on the AI maneuvers. For some reason, blue has become much more aggressive and develops faster. Apparently, the alliances set in the map really helped the computers. I finished somewhere around 15 days, there were enough heroes, but green rushed into the sea. :( And I ended up in Tolyatti. :)

You still need to land in the center and support with additional forces from the periphery!
The main trick turns out to be day 121 - THIS IS THE DECISIVE DAY!
This day will determine your entire future result.
On this day, I eliminated everyone who was previously a MAJOR THREAT to me:
1. Destroyed Italy
2. Brought Spain to its knees
3. Brought Russia to its knees (I was most afraid of it)
4. Cornered France

On day 122, all these 4 states were resting in their graves!
Therefore, day 121 was the day of the Brusilov Breakthrough!

My only mistake was the Red Player! (I need to correct this problem;))

It will be very difficult now without the Grail.
The game will become more difficult, and the results will be worse!

Sincerely,
Prorock.

That the main forces of the AI are destroyed during the week when they try to storm castles doesn't need to be explained.
The question is about something else. What points are chosen for landing? It would be good, for example, to land near the swamp castle, near the +6 sword, in Italy, where you can join troops, in the very center near the Tower, there is a stable, in Spain, to quickly capture it, and maybe something else.
The route from the landing points is interesting! Where did the fan of attacks unfold?
And regarding who you need to be afraid of: you can't let Spain linger for more than a week, then it will be bad, and you need to keep an eye on Norway and England so that they don't move troops by sea! France is strong, but if it goes to Castles!

Here's the dilemma:
You need to land in the center, which is roughly the area of Germany, but Germany is completely neutral – and it could have been left for later.
But with my approach, it turns out beautifully:
The landing point is Germany... consequently, Russia, Italy, and France are defeated.
Another hero starts in North Africa and conquers Spain by the end of the first week.
I also conquer England in the first week, but I only finish it off towards the end of the game.

The only one who didn't receive SPECIAL attention was Red – hence the problems...

In principle, I already have plans to complete this map in 125 turns (but this is with the Grail – without it, I don't even know...).

Sincerely,
P

Landing in Africa too early – that's interesting! I once took one of the castles in Spain and waited for the right moment to capture the rest. It's very convenient because there's a shipyard there, and you need to visit the tent. Also, a good spot is in France; you should paint another lighthouse to increase troop growth and go from the starting castle for the artifact.
But the first landing should be at the swamp castle! There's freedom of maneuver, and you can play cat and mouse with Russia. The second point is in Italy, at the Rampart castle. The third is France, at the lighthouse. Then, from Russia to France, from Italy to the neutral castles on the islands and in Spain, and from the home castle, depending on the situation, either to Red or to Green.
But before all this, there was a clearing of the sea, including the ships. That is, 2 days in the negative. But in return, there's the opportunity to immediately build a stable, which is a plus!
Again, on TE, all the ruins give resources, making the map a little richer than it was!

It’s interesting to land in Africa early! I once took one of the castles in Spain and waited for the right moment to capture the rest. There’s a very convenient shipyard there, and you need to visit the tent. Also, a good spot is in France; you should paint another lighthouse so that you can send reinforcements from your starting castle to get the artifact.
But the first landing should be at the swamp castle! There’s freedom of maneuver, and you can play cat and mouse with Russia. The second point is in Italy, at the Rampart. The third is the lighthouse in France. Then, from Russia to France, from Italy to neutral castles on the islands and to Spain, and from your home castle, depending on the situation, either to the red or the green.
But all of this was preceded by clearing the sea, including the ships. That is, 2 days in the negative. But in return, you get the opportunity to immediately build a stable, which is a plus!
Again, on TE, all the ruins give resources, and the map becomes a little richer than it was!

Why Africa? Because you can take Africa with your bare hands, and Africa allows you to take Spain right away.
France is not a problem in terms of strength at all!
But this is a mutual agreement with the Castles. I chased this weakling around the map with a Hero for about a week!
Considering the distance of Italy’s geographical location, my tactic suited me perfectly: the Hero rushes all the way from the farthest Germany with 9 archers and 14 spearmen, and at the beginning of week 121, the most brutal battle (equal in strength) takes place – and Italy becomes my first victim.

And what do you do with England? You can’t let it go!

Sincerely,
Prorock.

That’s a shame. But you can try your luck again on this map in the “Roads of Heroes” tournament. The save has been updated! Details are in the thread for the new tournament. There are three challenges: speed, hero leveling, and creature collection. You can play any map you like; there will be a separate score for each challenge!
Good luck!

) I know)) I’ve already started playing it... but there’s a problem... I can’t seem to defeat the red and green players in the first week... although I could do it in the clan tournament (which is how I started)... but I’ll try to do my best... I don’t really like rush tactics...

) I know)) I've already started playing through....... only thing is... a little problem... no way to knock out the red and green players in the first week....... although in a clan tournament (that's how I started a bit) it worked))) but I'll try to give it my all as much as I can... I don't particularly like rush tactics..

Well, the green one is actually very easy: take a neutral Rampart, fly straight into the computer's empty castle and repel the attack with a Stronghold. Don't do the red one that early. But the principle is the same. The main thing is for him to move his main forces away from the starting castle somewhere.

Lure the main hero and troops into the whirlpools, and then sail to him from France.

Lure the main hero with his troops into the whirlpools, and then swim towards him from France. The game of cat and mouse doesn't appeal to me very much, ESPECIALLY in an inconvenient sea. Because this won't solve the problem – we'll only get rid of the PAWN, and 3 Castles are still ahead. We need to force him to land in Ireland! There's even a chance that he'll die during the siege of Northern Ireland. When I played on the draft, I managed to do it... but not on the final version! :( Sincerely, Prorock.

In my case, he usually ended up landing in France anyway, and even fought the blue player! Personally, it seemed to me that it's better not to let him into the sea at all; let him take the second castle instead. And kill him toward the end of the game, when heroes without armies are completing quests while the army heads to England and Scandinavia.
