In order to ensure that all tournament participants are on equal footing, I have made the following amendment to the rules:

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO UNCOVER THE FOLLOWING ARTIFACTS: BOOTS OF THE DEAD, MEDAL OF VULNERABILITY when building the artifact merchant. (This tactic will be considered a bug on this map)

Please explain the phrase "to ensure that all tournament participants are on equal footing"... What does this have to do with buying boots from a merchant?

In my opinion, it's directly related... if someone is lucky enough to find them, they can easily assemble a Necropolis King and, by giving it to AlexyPunk, gain a large number of liches after their first major battle and simply breeze through the map... to be honest, I tried to assemble it myself because I was afraid someone else would, and I'm VERY GLAD that this tactic was banned))) now we can play with peace of mind)))

I understand this ban and those who agree with it. But this artifact has been known for a long time, and its use should have been prohibited BEFORE the start of the tournament, not in the middle... otherwise, as Amber correctly wrote before his post was edited, he has already spent a lot of time, and in the end, it was all in vain...
Dear tournament organizers, this is not the way to do things...

Quite interesting. I now want to participate in the tournament and test my skills. I hope I will be included in the list of participants.

Dear tournament organizers, this is not how things are done...

In essence, everything was done correctly. It's just a little late... I edited my post myself because I decided to send my comments to the organizers via private message, so as not to raise an unnecessary argument. I suggest we "write off" this oversight as the fact that we are holding the tournament for the first time, and some mistakes are quite acceptable. For the first time... :)

I am also convinced that these changes are final and we will not see any more news in the rules! :)

In my opinion, it's straightforward... if someone is lucky and they find them, they can easily assemble the Necropolis King...

I think it's not quite like that. "Luck or no luck" is not relevant here. Anyone can find them if they spend enough time... It's just that not everyone has that time... ;) This is probably what it's about.

I think that with this cloak, the point of the tournament is lost... no skill is required – just go straight ahead... run...

I apologize once again to all participants who were affected in one way or another by the changes in the rules!

There will be no more changes!

P.S. I wanted to change this back on Friday, but didn't have time.

I hope for your understanding.

Z.Y. It is a great pity that rule №1 is always ignored:(

1. The Tournament is held once a year, using the map that took 1st place on our website as a result of the contest for the
best map www.heroesworld.ru for Heroes 3. It should also be noted that all maps submitted as part of this contest
were evaluated and tested by several judges, so flaws and bugs in the best map have been minimized! Nevertheless, if any flaws are suddenly found in this map, please report them immediately to the email address VDV_forever@BK.RU,
or VDV_forever@heroesworld.ru. After all, only those who do nothing make no mistakes, and the judges as well as the organizers are no exception.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

In my opinion, this is a very correct change to the rules!!!!! Better late than never... and I don't think anyone has suffered greatly, because there are probably those who will join us on the last day of registration... they haven't even seen the map... but if the changes had been made in December, then I would agree that there is reason to complain... but as it is, everything is correct!!!

Don't rush! :)
There are those who have already sent their final saves... Let's see what they have to say. What if their walkthrough is based on the Cloak of the Undead King? What will we do then? :)

No, dear CrasH, unfortunately, there are those who suffered, and I hope there won't be any more.

The map by AlexeyPanka is simply very different from the original version, and all my corrections, changes, and reworkings in it were not thoroughly tested.
That is, if we were playing on the original version (after fixing minor flaws), then digging up these artifacts would be pointless, since the map could be completed in a couple of weeks.

Dear tournament organizers, this is not how it's done...

And now, the tournament is just beginning, and it will cease to be the beginning only on December 1st, when it will be possible to confidently say that there will be no new participants in the tournament.

Right now, the tournament is just starting, and it will cease to be the beginning only on December 1st, when we can confidently say that there will be no new participants in the tournament.

17. The tournament starts on November 15th and will last until December 30th (inclusive!). The results will be announced on January 1, 2007.

Perhaps you didn't read the rules very carefully... and in general, this is all just irrelevant chatter and should be deleted....
VDV, a small question... are you going to watch save files instead of celebrating New Year's Eve??? 8))))

well, that would certainly be unfortunate... I think that in such a case, they could be allowed to replay... but that's for our esteemed judges to decide, I won't presume to assert anything...

alright, I won't argue with anyone but...
10. Using known game bugs is FORBIDDEN!

Quite interesting. I felt a desire to also take part in the tournament, to test myself. I hope I will be included in the list of participants.

Absolutely! Good luck, Radik!

You don't seem like an idiot, I was just confused by the deadlines... so, it means you can send in your save files until 11:59 PM on December 30th, you'll check them all on December 31st, and then post the results on January 1st... just a reminder, there are already 40+ participants, and even if only half of them send in their save files, how will you have time to check them all? Maybe it would be better to move the deadline to January 2nd or 3rd...
