PERPETUAL THEMATIC OFFLINE TOURNAMENTS "ROADS OF HEROES".

1. This type of tournament is essentially a competition for the best completion of a specific task.
2. Tasks may be as follows:
· For speed: destroy all enemies, capture all castles, defeat a certain hero, capture a certain town, complete a quest, etc.
· For hero development: based on experience or primary stats, as well as a combination of experience and stats.
· For army collection – without arenas, calculated in hit points.
· For hero development + army collection.
· For collecting specific monsters.
· If there are any other task options – those are also possible.
3. The game is played from a single starting save.
4. Saves are posted on the website at the beginning of the calendar year, then monthly, and at the end of the year, the final table is moved to the tournament archive.
5. Players' final saves are included in a single summary table.
6. Results are tallied monthly.
7. The rating is calculated as for a round-robin tournament among participants who played during that month.
8. The first three players in each of the thematic tournaments receive ownable awards.
9. Awards pass to players who manage to improve the result.
10. A save can be completed 3 times, but only the best result for each player is considered in the summary table.
11. At the end of the calendar year, players who managed to keep their prize positions receive ownable awards as permanent possessions!

To start, three tasks:

TASK №1. FOR SPEED WALKTHROUGH.

The goal of the game is to kill all enemies and take all castles.
Map "Forward, Vikings!", which was in the clan tournament. But now a bug has been fixed and the grail will no longer give gold to the player. Otherwise, everything remains the same.
Starting save generated on TE 1.03p, but fully adapted for SoD 3.2. TE innovations are disabled.
Can be played on TE 1.03p, SoD 3.2.

TASK №2. FOR HERO DEVELOPMENT.

The goal of the game is to maximize hero development by day 5 of the second week of the second month. Hero stats and hero experience are taken into account. The final score will be based on the formula: 5000 for each primary hero stat (including equipped artifacts) + the actual experience gained by the hero.
The map "The Diagonal" is already familiar to participants of the third round of the last "Heroes Arena" tournament, but there are now small changes. I will not provide descriptions; check them in the editor yourself!
Starting save generated on TE 1.03p. It is preferable to play on this version, but SoD 3.2 is also possible (In this case, if the hero has secondary skills that increase primary stats on TE, they will be taken into account when calculating the final result!).

TASK №3. FOR COLLECTING THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MONSTERS.

The goal of the game is to collect the maximum number of skeletons for those playing on SoD 3.2, or the maximum number of demons for those playing on TE 1.03p. Army comparison will be based on the number of hit points (creatures' life points). Artifacts that increase health will not be taken into account. Additionally, you cannot use +5 weeks of any creatures, monster months, or build a skeleton transformer (all skeletons only through the Necromancer skill!)!!!
Map "King of Random", played in the second round of the arena tournament.
Starting save is the same! Game term - 58 days (day 2 of the first week of the third month).

In all saves, the victory condition is to collect resources. This condition is only for checking the honesty of the save! In the tournament, you must complete the tasks described above!!!

First tallying of results - December 10.

Hi! :)
I've never played on TE or WoG, so I have a question for the tournament participants who play on TE: do you use any agreed-upon WoG settings, or does everyone use their own?:o

Added 2 minutes later
And one more thing. Do I need to complete all three tasks by December 10th, or not???
I only saw this tournament today, so I have a question...
Could you extend the tournament by a week?:o

Dear nprf, I strongly disagree with your opinion that everyone rushed into the "Best of the best" tournament because it's easier, and that it's a tournament for unskilled beginners, and that you don't want to waste your time on it!!! I participated in it only because it features the old, good heroes in their original form, and not the reworked TE with some new features that I don't even have the slightest idea about... Yes, this will be my first online tournament, but that doesn't mean I'm a weak player, and it doesn't mean that other newcomers to the forum are weak players!!!!! The fact that you decided not to play there is very bad – I will consider that you are simply afraid of losing to "beginners," and that's all!!! I URGE YOU TO PLAY IN IT AND PROVE THE OPPOSITE!!! Yes, you have less time, but there is still plenty of it!!! I bet I will be higher than you in the tournament standings, and for greater fairness, I can send you a save file in just 3 days... Maybe I will regret my words, but I will invite a recognized good player from the forum to the tournament and raise the level of the tournament in the eyes of forum members who are not participating in it, so that the winner, whoever he may be, is not considered a "winner of beginners"!!! ARE YOU PLAYING??? OR ARE YOU NOT DARING??? I would gladly play in TE if I had it, and if I knew its intricacies.... Tomorrow I will buy WoG, patch it, and in a couple of months I will definitely play in that tournament where the "elite of the forum" will play, without abandoning tournaments where only "beginners" will play...

Good day.

We play on TE, but not on WoG!!!
When generating the starting save, the tournament organizer already entered all the settings that will apply to this map.

The maps, like the tasks, are very interesting, so they are worth playing. And the tournament is open-ended: the first results will be tallied on December 10, but that doesn't mean there's no point in playing further — in fact, it becomes even more meaningful!

You can wait for the first results to be tallied, see how other players performed, and then play those maps yourself, already knowing what to expect and what can be done.

When the next results are tallied, your result will be counted and could become the best result (i.e., it could beat the previous winners).

Additionally, new tasks should be posted every month, NO LESS interesting than the previous ones.
So it won't be boring.

You can start playing now, and after December 10, you'll know what to expect.
It's not a problem if you don't make it by the 10th; those are just preliminary results!

Regards,
Prorock.

Dear nprf, I strongly disliked your opinion that everyone rushed into the "Best of the Best" tournament because it's easier, and that it's a tournament for beginners who don't know how to play, and that you feel it's a waste of your time!!! I participated in it only because it features the good old Heroes in their original form, rather than a modified TE with some innovations that I don't have the slightest clue about yet... Yes, this will be my first internet tournament, but that doesn't mean I'm a weak player, just as it doesn't mean other forum newcomers are weak players!!!!! The fact that you decided not to play there is very bad — I will assume you were simply afraid of losing to "beginners," that's all!!! I URGE YOU TO PLAY IN IT AND PROVE THE OPPOSITE!!! Yes, you have less time, but there is still plenty!!! I bet I'll be higher than you in the tournament table, and for greater fairness, I can send the save in just 3 days... Perhaps I may pay for my words, but I call upon a recognized good player of the forum to join the tournament and raise the level of the tournament in the eyes of the forum members who are not participating, so that the winner, whoever it may be, is not considered a "winner of beginners"!!! WILL YOU PLAY??? OR DO YOU NOT DARE???

I would gladly play on TE if I had it and if I knew its intricacies.... Tomorrow I'll buy WoG, patch it, and in a couple of months, I'll definitely play in the tournament where the "forum elite" play, without abandoning the tournaments where only "beginners" play...

Dear CrasH,

There is no need to attack NPRF just because he expressed an opinion that I largely agree with.
No one called you beginners at Heroes, and if the word "beginners" was used, it referred to beginners in TOURNAMENTS.
I realized this myself: playing Heroes at home is ONE thing, but participating in tournaments is something completely DIFFERENT!

I played at home for 7 years, but when I participated in a tournament, I only beat the beginners and, by a small margin, the AMATEURS, while the experienced players were worlds away from me.

To play well in tournaments, you need to forget many usual things and "at-home" gaming habits, and almost radically rebuild your system!

Therefore, do not challenge someone to a duel in such a RUDE manner, obviously knowing in advance the 99% fact of your own defeat. If you want to prove something — join us! :)

I don't know what place you would have taken, but if nprf had participated, he would undoubtedly have taken 1st place (he wouldn't have participated otherwise).

If you still don't believe in how tournaments are played — you can look at the results in the section of EVERY completed tournament, and at best, your jaw will drop (at least that was my reaction when I, like you, decided to participate in tournaments for the first time and randomly looked at the results of a previous tournament;))

If you are interested in how tournaments are played SPECIFICALLY FOR SPEED, take a look at the section for Heroes 1 and 2, and the Clan Tournament for Heroes 3 and 5. By the way, for Heroes 2, the result was 8 days (nprf completed it in 5).
If you conduct an analysis, you'll realize that speed-run tournament maps are completed in no more than 2 weeks (regardless of size).

If you really play as well as you wrote, then after your first tournament, you will inevitably feel the desire to play here with us.
And if that desire arises, we will be happy to welcome you into the ranks of participants (as well as anyone else who wishes).

Regards,
Prorock.

Dear Prophet, I dare to respond to you, stating that: 1) I am not attacking, but rather expressing my dissatisfaction with the disrespectful attitude towards newcomers on the forum! 2) I agree, playing at home against the computer is one thing, but playing at home with fellow Heroes fans is quite another! We are all human and learn from each other... I think it makes sense to emphasize that playing at home on one computer does not mean watching your opponents' moves... each player leaves the room, and only then does the next player enter, clicks the checkbox, and starts their turn... so if you call people newcomers, it should be in the context of online tournaments, not tournaments in general... 3) The game system has changed significantly many times, and unlike online play, friends would share tips and tricks with each other afterward, which helped me learn the world of Heroes faster... 4) I don't see such an obvious defeat, and I'll say it's no more than 50%! I would like to prove it, but unfortunately, I can't participate in the TE tournament because (as I mentioned) I don't know its changes yet, as I haven't played it even once... I was talking about the old, good Heroes without all the bells and whistles... But unfortunately, I can't prove anything to experienced online players either, because these players don't participate in the tournament in which I have the opportunity to participate!!!!!!!!!!! 5) "I don't know what place you would take, but if nprf did participate, he would definitely take 1st place (he wouldn't participate for any other reason)." I highly doubt that... why isn't he participating then? Championship and leadership must be constantly confirmed, as the level of players is also not standing still! You can't be the best without playing against new players, but only against those whose level and tactics you already know! 6) "If you analyze it, you'll see that tournament maps are completed in no more than 2 weeks (regardless of their size)." Well, if someone completes "BEST OF THE BEST" in no more than 2 weeks, or even 2 months, I will bow before that person and go play with the kids in the kindergarten! I have nothing to do here then!!! 7) "If you really play as well as you say, then after your first tournament, you will inevitably want to play here with us." - Yes, I am that good ;) but I don't deny the existence of players who play much better... And the desire to play here with you arose from the moment I appeared on the forum, but, as I have to repeat, due to the tournament being held on TE, which I don't have, I haven't had the opportunity to do so, and due to not knowing TE, I haven't and don't have a chance of achieving a high result...

Good day to you, CrasH! I will repeat once again: TE is in no way related to WoG, although it was created based on it. Therefore, no significant changes were made there! The corrections only concerned fixing bugs and making the game more convenient + BALANCE OF FORCES!...and that's all. Until recently, I myself didn't quite realize that I would install and play TE, but thanks to this guide (post #28): /topic/1124/ I realized that it's very simple. A manual describing all the changes in detail is attached after installation in the root folder of Heroes. P.S. And please remove the word "beginners" – nobody used this word, and certainly did not want to offend anyone with it! :) With respect, Prorock.

A small question:)
I started playing, but the movement speed of heroes and creatures during battles seems incredibly fast.
I lowered it to the minimum, but it had no effect.
Could this be a bug on my end?:(

When will the intermediate results be available?;)

You're playing on TE, right?

This speed is designed specifically so that battles take up less gameplay time.
The speed increases only during the empty movement of unit stacks; upon impact or any active action, the speed stabilizes so that the player can observe and catch the units' actions.

It's not a glitch!
It simply really speeds up the game process!
You'll get used to it soon.

Prorock.

I think it's enough to look at the date of the last activity of the organizer, natasha, which was 04.11.2006... and all questions will disappear...
