Duels — Online Battles

I have a question. What time limit is set for online duels? I'm currently playing against a strong AI as the Stronghold faction, and I seem to be doing well, but I'm not setting any time limits for myself. However, if there's a time limit in a duel with a real person, I might not be able to think quickly enough due to lack of practice. Consequently, I probably won't be able to compete effectively in any online tournaments or duels right now.
So, could you please advise me on what parameters I should set to practice for tournaments or simply for online duels with another player?

30 seconds per unit turn
within that same time, you also need to manage to cast a spell or use a hero skill.

Not 30 seconds, but a minute – that’s the time limit for “Medium” difficulty. If you use a spell or a war cry, you get extra time for the unit’s turn.

Cool! One minute, plus casting time – that’s more than enough. Another question. When you’re building a hero specifically for a duel, what information do you have about the opponent: is only the race known, or is there also information about the hero – whether they are a mage or a warrior, or is nothing known? If it’s just a duel with another person, then, as I understand it, you just agree on who plays which hero, and that’s it, right? But what about a tournament?

That's strange, I always played with a 30-second limit.
However, it depends on the settings you choose when creating the duel map.

Another question. When you create a hero for a duel, what information do you have about the opponent: is only the race known, or is there also information about the hero – whether he's a mage or a warrior, or is nothing known? If it's just a duel with another player, then, as I understand it, you just agree on who plays as whom, and that's it, right? But if it's a tournament, how does it work?

You know how many troops the opponent's hero has and his basic characteristics – strength, defense, mana, etc.

P.S. I've encountered this trick twice. There's a duel map, and the opponent's army is set. I choose my army, click READY, but the battle will only start when the map creator clicks START. So, after I'm ready, the duel creator quickly changes the army and starts the duel before I have a chance to change my army.

I played as the Demon faction (using Kirill's build) in a duel against a strong AI (Orcs, Necropolis, and Haven) in the classic version, and I lost badly. I didn't just lose; I was completely crushed, especially by the Necropolis. Then, I played the same scenario but with the Legion faction, and surprisingly, I crushed everyone. This shows the power of the Demon faction when you have a large number of troops.

Where is the tournament held? I haven't encountered such skilled players before. Maybe I'll get lucky?

And what is this thread about? About poses? I thought it was a gaming forum...

Zoltar, are you kidding me? This topic is about the duel mode in "Might & Magic: Heroes VI". That is, when the entire game boils down to a single battle with pre-made armies, but with skills distributed independently. You can find the tournament in the section dedicated to tournaments, which is located a little higher.

So, are you just imagining this, or is it happening somewhere else? Where do I click to rate the duel? I want to test my skill level.

In the game, where else? Choose "Multiplayer", create a new game, select "Duel" mode. Or join an existing game by selecting the second tab.

You can edit your messages by clicking the "Edit" button; you don't necessarily have to delete them if you want to change something.

Winner, thanks! Now I understand a bit better. But I didn't get the humor in the duels. Why doesn't anyone put up a fight there? And the hero's abilities are poorly distributed. Or is the point of duels just to commit suicide? :)

You can redistribute your hero's skills. I didn't understand the rest.

Well, in the game, I choose the duel mode and a map. It only allows you to select heroes. After starting, the game begins against yourself. You control two heroes, taking turns on opposite sides. You can do whatever you want with both armies. It's so interesting that I even fell asleep.

You have selected the "Hot Seat" mode. Switch between the tabs at the bottom of the window.

People who are willing to play duels online, please respond. I'm looking for opponents. You can either write here, on the website, or contact me on VK: http://vk.com/id31542521 (I only play as Orcs).
