The total number of skills does not depend on the number of days – it depends on the number of battles fought and the number of skill-enhancing locations visited... And if, for example, I have three main heroes and I am fighting on three fronts simultaneously, then the total number of skills will be distributed approximately evenly among the three. And someone else will fight all these battles with one hero – which means they will level him up much better. This depends exclusively on the tactics used to complete the map... So, in this case, we should leave everything as it is.

However, your suggestion regarding mercury makes sense because the dependence on the amount of time is more strict here. Although, it is not linear either...

Yes, the dependence is not linear, but it at least balances things out. And regarding the

There are many other things, but all these tricks usually reduce the speed of completing the map – that is, they work against the main goal of the game – to spend as little time as possible. Here, it's either speed or economy... And combining everything in one tournament, in my opinion, is not rational.
It depends on how you look at it. If a player tried to complete the map quickly but didn't succeed and ended up being very slow, then they ultimately get nothing. That's why the perks with skills and VDV_forever's mercury are introduced into the tournament as incentive prizes for those who couldn't complete the map fast enough. It is believed that otherwise, players in the last places might lose interest in the tournaments. That's why I have long suggested creating two leaderboards. One would only consider the rating without any "grails," showing only the players' skill in fulfilling the main condition of the tournament (whether it's a speedrun or something else). And the other leaderboard would reflect the total number of "grails" earned by players anywhere. But apparently, the "meat and flies" will remain in the same blender

and by the way, everyone seems to have forgotten that the recruitment of participants is over, and 55 people have registered. I wonder how many will make it to the end? And why am I saying this instead of dvd_forever?

I completely agree – to increase interest in the game and attract more participants, this is the only way to do it...

But then there's no need to hold a "Best of the Best" tournament once a year, because we're discussing that one right now... We summarize the results after the New Year, look at all the results, and it turns out that three "smart guys" spent a month and a half of their lives completing this not-so-easy speed tournament, optimized their strategies, replayed battles ten times, and finished with some result... But there's no one to compare it to...

Because the other 50 players turned out to be much smarter... :) They simply accumulated resources and troops for six months, and at the end of the game, they ran through the map in auto-battle mode, because they had enough troops to defeat any army without straining and competed with each other to see who collected the most of what during that time... And the leaders who shared the top three places can enjoy their speed prizes. That's where the disappointment will come... :) Three people played one tournament, and the rest played another, just on the same map... So, what's the point of having 55 participants? Are you sure they will compete with you?

This is a trial tournament, of course, but nevertheless... I am deliberately "exaggerating" just to avoid returning to these nuances later... All these ideas were introduced after the tournament had already started, so I'm just pointing out possible "inconsistencies" that will appear later...

And the same to you. And happy first day of winter.

It's a shame that not everyone will make it :( .
It's a pity that no more participants are being accepted, as there's still a whole month left, and someone might have had time to register and play.

P.S. Not DVD, but VDV.

P.P.S. 2AmberSoler. Speed is still the main indicator in the game.

Still, I think the tournament is prestigious because it is held only once a year, so what's the point of trying to play for mercury and end up at the bottom of the table with a bunch of grails? Moreover, no one knows what deadline the judge will announce for counting mercury after the tournament ends. You could easily miss out on a lot of mercury and not get to Paris :)

It’s a pity that no more participants are accepted, as there is still a whole month left, and someone could still register and play.

And who said that no more are accepted? Applications are accepted until December 30!;) (I hope no one is against it).

I also want to remind participants that Grails will be awarded, but I don’t know when they will come into effect (in reality) and when you can use them to purchase something!:(.
For now, your results will represent our forum, and you will always be able to admire your achievements.
As for the Grails, they will accumulate on our forum until that bright time comes!

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Heh, heh, with a bunch of Grails? You get 5 Grails for 1st place in Mercury:D.
P.S. you get 10 for skills:) And, as practice shows, one player is simply not able to take the first 2 places in these indicators.
And even if they did, 15 Grails is still very, very little:)
IronAxe;49882

You can also miss out on a ton of Mercury and end up nowhere :)

That’s what happened in the Heroes 5 tournament; a game is a game! By the way, NO ONE played specifically for secondary indicators there;)

Greetings to all tournament participants!
Today, I started playing the map, and a question immediately arose:
the rules state that you cannot use the Grail without open obelisks, but what should you do if the computer dug it up, and I captured its castle? At least, that's what happened to me, and what should I do – replay the map? Because I won't be able to prove that it wasn't me who took it.
P.S. By the way, the map is very interesting, but it's not very interesting to play it for speed, it's quite long, but I don't see any other option.

Congratulations to everyone on the first day of winter!
I hope it won't be long.

Hmm... what Grail, what obelisks? There's only a Grail in one of the Strongholds - but it seems to be the original one, and there don't seem to be any obelisks on the map at all??? Or am I mistaken? ;)

2 Fanat I'm not a judge, of course, but if you send a save file before attacking the computer-controlled castle with the Grail, that should be enough. And maybe a couple more intermediate save files showing that you didn't own that castle and your progress towards it.

P.S. Or, if everything is as Tanya described, then the issue is closed. In general, such things are asked of the judge in a private message 8)).

The Grail is still in the Necropolis city, not just in the Stronghold.
You are right:o :o :o. Sorry, I forgot...

I started playing the map today, and I immediately had a question:

P.S. By the way, the map is very interesting, but it's not very interesting to play it quickly; it's quite long, but I don't see any other option.

The computer hero simply couldn't have dug it up, since there is no hidden Grail on this map, within the framework of this tournament (and you won't find any obelisks either).
...The Grails are already placed in the Castles where AlexeyPankom and I intended them to be:) . Of course, there is no need to replay it.

The same to you! But for some, it's Winter, and for others, Autumn hasn't even ended yet:)
