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

When I played it for the first time, my computer crashed on day 5 (I landed not near the castle, but higher up – at the bend).

I was wrong... he arrived at my place at the beginning of the second week (around day 2).

Anyway, I'm sending my save file today!!!;)

I just want to make a surprise;)

Best regards,
Prorock.

Added 5 hours 43 minutes later
I ALREADY SENT THE SAVE FILE!

I ask VDV forever to report when he receives the save file, as he had a problem with his email this morning.
And while it's not too late, I can send it to another address or just post it here...!?

Best regards,
Prorock.

A DESCRIPTION is an instruction on what and how to do, OR IS IT NOT TRUE!?
And the LEARNING PROCESS involves making the player completely independent, not just following the leader's results.

If a beginner player follows the leader's Walkthrough and achieves success, then the main training for such a player can be considered complete.

Prorock;46264

An individual strategy should be developed through trial and error.

And then what you wrote will start to take shape.

Therefore, I will repeat once again that the requirement for descriptions from leaders has the following positive aspects:
1. First, the best result is tested for validity, and this is tested by players who took 2nd or 3rd place (if they want, they may not want to, they may be satisfied with a brief description to understand everything).
2. If the Walkthrough turns out to be clean, then the description becomes an invaluable material for training.

Your rules state that players suspected of cheating will be checked by various methods, including by description.
On what basis can a player be suspected if the Judge only has the final saves at the end of the Tournament, and even then all the heroes (except 1 or 2) and troops are disbanded? Only by relying on the completion times that seem unrealistic to you? Such completion times usually seem unrealistic for leaders until they start to say something.

Prorock;46264

On what day did he arrive?

If you read the posts carefully, I wrote above when he arrived.
And I even have a conclusive save. I can send it to any player (save from the end of the 7th day), the player-verifier can run a turn from my save on his computer and see how the boat arrives - on the 1st day of the 2nd week. I hope you also have such a save on hand, just in case, since you are so against detailed descriptions :)

If you had read the posts carefully, I wrote above when he arrived.
And I even have a save file as proof. I can send it to any player (a save from the end of day 7), and the verifying player can run the turn on their own computer from my save and see how the boat arrives - on day 1 of week 2. I hope you've also kept such a save just in case, since you are so strongly against detailed descriptions :)

I didn't pay attention to the date that time, and besides, I didn't really want to read another player's Walkthrough description before the end of the Tournaments, but AFTERWARDS - it's a total pleasure!:)
I have such saves for every occasion;):D

Understood - so the computer does stick to certain limits after all.

Respectfully,
Prorock.

2nd Airborne Division, as I already wrote in the thread "second tournament for the second Heroes game," my computer with the old versions of Heroes crashed, so unfortunately, I won't have a save file.

It's a pity that you won't be able to participate...:(

I hope you'll be able to restore your computer, and this won't affect the organization of the tournament for the second game.

This isn't the last tournament for the First Heroes, and we will definitely hold another tournament in which you will definitely participate.

Tomorrow, if VDV forever can't access his email and view my save, I will post it for everyone to see in this thread.

The results of the Evil Lands tournament have been announced: P.S. I had no questions for any of the participants because all possible tactical decisions were described. And from the final save files, it is immediately clear who acted how! I hope I was not mistaken about you! …although there was one suspicion, but after a more thorough analysis, I became convinced that this was actually the case! :) (And this save file isn't even the best one :)) Sincerely, VDV_forever

Yeah. Significantly better than most players.
Prorock, Congratulations!
I suggest everyone make backups of their saves for the Heroes II tournament!

2 VDV, I don't understand, what are these "Grails"? It's a speed tournament, so there's only one final leaderboard! And don't try to bring me down! :) :)
Who did you suspect? What suspicions? :) Share – it's still interesting! :)

Not Grails, but Graily:D. This is a unit that may soon be used on our portal;) . And you don't pay attention to it:)

Nope:) . Let it be a little secret:D

I knew I had won two weeks ago when I decided to try playing a draft game, and it turned out to be an EXCELLENT final version!

The only thing that bothered me was IronAxe's DEMAGOGUERY!
But when I learned about the method he chose to win, it MADE ME LAUGH, and I realized there was nothing to be afraid of:)

I will write more details in the thread today!

THANK YOU, VDV_forever, for the interesting tournament!

Sincerely,
Prorock.

IronAxe - do you want to learn!!
THEN LEARN!

Why I said it made me laugh (NOT ANNOYED, and WITHOUT SARCASM) - you will see it yourself now.

On the day when the Boat sails to you and you get in it, I already have a Hero (Socress) in the boat near the Yellow Castle... accordingly, the Yellow Castle is ALREADY mine.
That is, at the start in the sea, we were on equal terms, but I already had an ENTIRE player's Castle with excellent magic!

I will write a description later!!!

Sincerely,
Prorock.

Yeah, that's a very smart move.
I think if I replay from the point of capturing the yellow castle, my result will be slightly worse than yours :)

The thing is, in these tournaments, you need to change your tactics. And I had the stereotypes of a regular game against the AI: take everything with a strong hero. So after capturing the yellow castle, I just started guarding that castle instead of sending some sorcerer to capture the blue one.

Prorock, did a red player with genies come to you? Or was it just me who was so lucky?
And in general, has anyone fought genies? (It was a big problem for me!)
