Offline Tournament "Evil Lands".

TOURNAMENT RULES

1. To participate in the first offline tournament, "Best of the best," you must register on our website www.heroesworld.ru and submit an application in this thread.

2. The tournament will be held on the Russian version of Heroes 1 (Platinum from Buky).

3. Each player can only submit one final save! (Repeatedly submitted saves will not be considered!)

4. The submitted save must contain the tournament number (1), the participant's tournament number, and the abbreviation (ZZ - Evil Lands), as well as the player's nickname.

Example:

1_1_ZZ_Admin.GM1

1_2_ZZ_VDV_forever.GM1

5. Along with the submitted save, it is mandatory to provide a description of the last step (battle with a hero, battle for a castle, capturing an artifact, defeating the last monster) after which the victory or scenario completion occurs.

6. Cheating programs, codes, and any additional programs that allow you to change the game structure are PROHIBITED!

7. The result will be evaluated primarily based on the shortest time. If several players have equal times, the best will be determined by the sum of primary skills (attack, defense, magic, knowledge) INCLUDING WORN ARTIFACTS; if a favorite still cannot be determined, then by the amount of mercury.

8. You can only dig up the Grail when the puzzle map is fully revealed.

9. Send saves to the email address VDV_forever@BK.RU

10. Applications are accepted until November 14, 2006.

11. In case of suspicion of cheating or other malicious intent during gameplay, it is necessary to save every day.
In this case (detection of cheating), the player must send additional saves and provide a description of the playthrough to determine whether the play was fair or not, to the tournament organizer. The results of a player who played unfairly will be disqualified, and their further participation in tournaments will be impossible. This will also affect their reputation negatively.

12. Discussion of the tournament during its course is welcome!!!
(Players who follow this rule will automatically earn my recognition:). Just please do not reveal your final result until the end of the tournament.

13. The tournament starts on October 25th and lasts until November 15th (inclusive!). The results will be announced on November 17th.

14. After receiving your save, we will notify you via email at our website http://www.heroesworld.ru/

P.S. I wish all participants good luck with the game and most importantly VICTORY!

P.S.S. If there are any additions or comments, please don't hesitate to express them so that we can minimize disagreements and shortcomings in the process of conducting the tournament

Okay. As soon as I finish writing the walkthrough description, I’ll send the save file. Although, as I’m sure you’ll see, the result isn’t that impressive, and I won’t have any more time to improve it. But what’s the purpose of the abbreviation “VV” in the name of the final save file?

Added 1 hour and 41 minutes ago
I’ve sent both the save file and the description to the specified address. Please send a notification upon receipt.

The result is ready, but I'll probably send it closer to 13:00, maybe I'll find time to improve it (which is unlikely :()

Zingel;43013

To be honest, they wouldn't have made much of a difference to me :) These are the pikemen that guard the quarry near the Knight's Castle.

Honestly, I think they always join... (I walked past them several times, and each time they wanted to join me...) although in the final version of the walkthrough, I didn't pass by them at all :) ... it wasn't on the way :D:D:D

AlexeyPank;43745

But why is the abbreviation VV in the name of the final save?

I think the abbreviation should be ZZ - that is, "Evil Lands". Am I right?

Hi everyone! :) I finished the map. I tried to improve it 4 times, but the result is only 1 day better. I also deleted all the heroes, leaving only one who deals the finishing blow! :) The final blow is capturing the sorceress village in the desert. It's fun to play in single-player mode. Maybe we can continue? :)

Hi everyone! :)
I've completed the map. I tried to improve my time 4 times, but the result only improved by 1 day.
I also deleted all heroes, leaving only one, who delivers the Finishing Blow! :)
The final blow is capturing the sorcerers' village in the desert.
It's cool playing solo. Maybe we should continue? :)

I liked it too!
Mainly because it's fun and not too stressful:)

I only played once — but just enough to realize that it can't be improved further... so it's something to think about;):)...

The only way to improve the result is to avoid running around after Heroes and side Castles.
But as everyone already knows and has realized — it's simply impossible!!!

And I, of course, was no exception — about half of the entire game was spent on exactly that running around;):)

Respectfully,
Prorock.

Why use the abbreviation VV in the final save name?

Oops... my mistake:o, I'm going to fix it. :)

Received it :) I'll be looking at it today. ;)

I understand that the abbreviation should be ZZ - that is, "Evil Lands". Am I right?

Absolutely, I've already corrected it:o

Hello everyone! :)

I also deleted all the heroes, leaving only one, who deals the final blow! :)
The final blow is capturing the sorcerer village in the desert.
It's fun to play with 1 hero. Maybe we can continue? :)

I think so, if most of the participants send in their save files. ;)
Perhaps the next tournament will have a different task. ;)

Your save file has safely reached me. :)

I'm waiting for the rest of the save files. :)

Best regards, VDV_forever

Sent... decided not to delay...
Please let me know if you received it and whether the save file from the English version is compatible with the "Bukovskaya" version
or if it is not compatible :(

P.S. I didn't comment on the last battle, it's straightforward... I caught the last of the enemy heroes (my army had a significant advantage).

Why did you catch him like that:D

Real-time is too short for the game :( I'm surprised how people manage to complete maps so quickly. I'll send my save file on the 15th. I suggest, once again, not to burden everyone with detailed walkthrough descriptions. Let's have only the players who took the top three places provide BRIEF descriptions. And if someone wants to repeat the leader's walkthrough, then the leader should provide a more detailed description of their playthrough. P.S. It's not a given that you need to start with a yellow castle for a speedrun, although I also started with that. Now I'm trying other options.

There isn't enough real time for the game :( I'm surprised how people play the maps so quickly. I'll send my save on the 15th.

I suggest, once again, not to torture everyone with detailed walkthroughs. Let them make BRIEF descriptions, only for the players who took the first three places. And if someone wants to repeat the leader's walkthrough, then the leader should provide a more detailed description of their playthrough.

The map is very small (it's not 3 Heroes), so you don't need much time to complete it.
No one is forcing anyone to write descriptions (and my description is a cry of nostalgia).
The leaders are not yet known.
Repeating the playthrough is unlikely, because in the first Heroes, a battle is a matter of chance, so, for example, you can lose with 20 Druids, when you won with 2 before.
It's not a fact that you even need to take Castles (maybe they will surrender themselves) :)

I spent very little real game time.
I started and finished at the end of the week, but I played in short bursts...
I PLAYED ON A DRAFT, AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FINAL VERSION!:):):)
It will be funny if I still take a prize-winning place!:):):)

It’s a bold move to look for another path, but the only way to go by land is through the Yellow Castle! And it’s not even about speed, but about the lack of alternatives!!!

Sincerely,
Prorock.

Ah, in my final playthrough, no one came to my aid :(, but if they had, I could have finished it a week earlier!
I wish I could replay it, but I already sent the save file.

A good idea comes to mind afterward.

That's why I wrote to you in a private message that I'll send it on the 13th.
Why rush...:)

But I probably won't replay myself.
The computer can be unpredictable, and it's unknown what it will do next time. I already had to chase it all over the map with neutral castles...:(

... I had to chase him all over the map, through neutral castles...:(

When I hear things like that, I immediately picture a scene: a bunch of computer heroes running in different directions, like cockroaches on a table when the light is turned on! :) :) :)

By the way, in the final version, I didn't have to chase them. They came to me! :)
I didn't chase after any of them.

Well, if you put it that way, I didn't have to chase after the Heroes either...

But the Castles they captured – did you have to run around to capture them? Or were you lucky and they didn't capture anything at all?:)

Prorock.

Best regards,
Prorock.

In total, I captured 4 Castles, 3 enemy villages, and 1 neutral village.
The most interesting thing is that some of the villages seem to have been computer-controlled initially; otherwise, how do you explain the presence of a serious monster in front of the entrance to the village?
Unfortunately, I don't know any codes, so I couldn't view the map from the start.
