I was just thinking... it would be nice to have a thread with information about sent/received final save files. Because yesterday I sent one, but the email seems to have been glitching, and now I'm racking my brain: did it go through or not?

I think a much faster and clearer option would be this:

After receiving a save file from a player, mark this event in the participant table (with a color or in bold). I think it wouldn't be difficult for VDV-forever, and it would be convenient for all players - it would immediately show how many save files have already been received... So you can observe the dynamics and assess the number of opponents. And there's no need to create a new thread, I think.

It seems to me that this option would be much faster and more visual:

after receiving a save from a player, mark this moment in the participant table (with color or bold font). I think it won't be difficult for VDV-forever, but it will be convenient for all players - you can immediately see how many saves have already been received... To observe the dynamics and assess the number of opponents. And there is no need to create a new thread, I think.

Excellent idea, AmberSoler! Thank you!
Only submitted saves will be marked in bold!;)
And verified ones will also be italicized!:)

Dear tournament participants!

I present to your attention the GAME RATING OF PLAYERS developed by the respected IronAxe! This rating will only be awarded to players of the Best of the Best tournament, at least for now, as part of an experiment!

Greetings to all participants!
I have finally completed the map; the result seems good to me, and I won't replay it anymore, so I've already sent the save file. I'm waiting for confirmation from the organizers.

I heard something about a bug where artifacts can be sold for a high price. Where does this happen? In shops? So, can you sell them or not? And how can you tell if an artifact is being sold for an inflated price or a normal price? And if you exchange artifacts for experience, is there no bug there??? Have these bugs been fixed in version 3.2???

In SoD 3.2, there is no bug. Artifacts can be sold and exchanged for experience...

But I don't know how this bug manifests itself. And if someone is playing a version other than SoD 3.2? Please describe how it manifests and what to do to prevent it for those who are not playing SoD. By the way, the .exe file you mentioned works, but it already glitches on the main menu. But it seems you can still play, but it's a bit scary :) If I have to trade artifacts, I'll have to use it just in case.

I've been going for 200% completion for 2 days now, 12 hours each.
So I assume a full walkthrough of the map once will take another 5 days at 12 hours each.
It's unlikely you'll be able to handle going through the map a second time here.

By the way, as can be seen, diplomacy is not forbidden.

And is buying heroes with a 4th level spell specialty not forbidden?
Can the Cloak of the Undead King be used?
Can spells like Fly, Dimension Door, and Mountain Portal (if they happen to give them) be used?

And one more question. The phrase "digging up artifacts" is often used here.
Digging up the Grail, I understand.
"Digging up a hero in the tavern," I also understand, meaning searching for the right hero.
But what does digging up artifacts mean? Does it mean that in the merchant, for example,
on the 1st day of the month different artifacts can appear, yes?

I doubt anyone will be able to play the map a second time.

By the way, as you can see, diplomacy is not prohibited.

Diplomacy is allowed! Moreover, I specifically locked it in the Pandora's Box at the start. :)

vbn;55231

Is it not prohibited to buy heroes with a 4th-level spell specialization?

Of course, you can! :)

vbn;55231

Can you use the Necromancer's Cloak?

Using the Necromancer's Cloak is PROHIBITED!

vbn;55231

Can I use the spells Fly, Dimension Door, and Portal (if they are given)?

Yes, you can.

vbn;55231

And one more question. Here, people often say the phrase "digging up artifacts".
I understand digging up the Grail.

No, you cannot dig up the Grail in this Tournament! We are talking about artifacts that can be bought from the artifact merchant.

vbn;55231

What does it mean to dig up artifacts? Does it mean that different artifacts may appear in the merchant, for example, on the 1st day of the month, right?

Exactly :)

I started playing through it... aiming for a clean run... but I don't have any time at all (( exams... (I'm tired of it) but for now, I'm very happy with how I'm progressing...)) I finally figured out the ideal skill set and strategy for completing the map... but I still don't know how to do the Creature Dungeon (CD)... (I spent much more time playing through it in a rough draft... hence the conclusion that there were too many armies...) and now I'm playing through it faster and I don't know where to get armies...)))
