A replay is unlikely, because in the first Heroes game, combat is a matter of chance, so you can lose with 20 Druids, even though you won with just 2 before.
It's not certain that you even need to take Fortresses (maybe they'll surrender on their own) :)

Ah, in my final playthrough, no one came to me :(, but if they had, I could have finished a week earlier!
I'd replay it, but I already sent the save file.
A good idea comes to mind later.

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

In total, I captured 4 castles, 3 enemy villages, and 1 neutral village.
The most interesting thing is that some villages initially seemed to be controlled by the AI; otherwise, how could I explain the presence of a serious monster at the entrance to the village?
Unfortunately, I don't know any codes, so I couldn't view the map from the start.

I thought the same thing at first, but actually, everyone starts with only 1 Castle!
And he circled around the Griffons from the East - if that interests you! ;)

And looking at the number of captured Castles, I understand that everyone ends up in a similar situation! :

Sincerely,
Prorock.

Exactly! It arrived on the 7th day, I think. I found this save and am now trying a second playthrough, while I put the first one aside. With the boat, I can quickly attack the red, blue, and yellow factions; I'm testing different strategies. I've come to the conclusion that attacking the yellow faction early on is strategically disadvantageous. This fortress ends up caught between two fires and is then attacked from two sides by the red and blue factions. You can hold out, but development is slowed down due to the constant defense of this fortress.

I think it's roughly possible, perhaps by loading a save from one of the leader's games. And, of course, someone who knows the game and knows that the battle was won before will also use save-loading and, one way or another, achieve victory in the necessary battles, having a description of the main points of the walkthrough.

...But you yourself wrote earlier that it's enough to leave the Fortress, and the enemy heroes will flock like flies to honey :) I hope to keep my heroes safe, if I'm lucky.

So, what does the task say? We need to eliminate all the "colored" ones, and we don't necessarily need to capture neutral objects, right?

You're overthinking it too much...

Damn, I thought I could finally relax in a tournament for the first Heroes, playing without any stress assuming there wouldn't be many strong players here... Yeah, right, even here the mega monsters won't leave me in peace! :) :)

How else can you explain the fact that the lower Sorcerer's town is also red, if there's another town on the way from the red castle to this town that remained neutral until the very end, even though a demon with genies ran past it? :)
And you're right about the griffins ;)

Looks like there's still time - maybe I'll make it.

Damn, I thought I could relax in the Heroes tournament, play without pressure, assuming there wouldn't be many strong players here... Yeah, right, and here too, mega monsters won't let me rest! :) :)

I don't know how to explain it, but I assure you that initially everyone is equal! I checked the code.
If you want, you can check it yourself:
Here's the code for those who don't know - 101495.

...I don't know...:)...it's up to you!
Personally, I find this more relaxing compared to other tournaments, which is why I didn't rewrite my ONLY DRAFT into a white one...:):):)

Prorock.

I believe that people participate in this Tournament out of nostalgia and for their own enjoyment; if someone is interested in playing with codes, that's their business. But I hope there aren't any such people here 8)).

Oh, I wish I could ban these codes altogether. Because if you use them skillfully and analyze every move, then... (it's better not to even think about it. If they were playing a game with a Green Dragon here.... :) :) :) )

Regarding relaxation - yes, you can say: I played for my own enjoyment.

And what exactly does the assignment say? Do we have to kill all the colored ones, and we don't have to capture neutral objects, right?

Ah, I wish we could ban these cheats altogether. Because if you use them skillfully and analyze each move, then... (it's better not to even think about it. If they were playing a game with a thousand greens here.... :) :)
