Posts from 1st annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

Well, I haven't played for three years either, and Sage says he hasn't played Heroes III for two years. That's why I'm not reacting too strongly and I'm also asking for save files. I've already downloaded them from Sage - it's just interesting to look at everything. And have you seen what save files I'm asking the leader for? Why aren't you supporting that? They should also be interesting.

By the way, here's another advantage of SOD over TE – the slow effect is applied at level 1. In my case, it was at level 2, so I couldn't use it in this battle...

Well, this battle is just crazy - you absolutely have to play on SoD then. I didn't even know about such differences. Lucky that I had SoD :)

Exactly. I'm saying - I lost a lot because of TE in general. Anyway, urgently looking for SoD for myself. :D Although in the battle with the "gift" I had that most insane number of joining gargoyles - that's exactly how I wiped everyone out. So yeah, basically.

I read in the description that the leader started training a unit with literacy skills as early as the first week. At that time, I hadn't even thought about it. But when I got the SURPRISE from VDV, I realized I had made a mistake. And you know who saved me – YOU :D I was messing around with load-save, trying to either breed Rangers or something else, and I was also checking the tavern. And I was so happy to see you there! You trained a bunch of my heroes to jump between cities. Here's a little bonus for you :)

By the way, I killed myself first, among all the enemy heroes ;)

To be honest, I don't use "hero-diggers" or cheat codes; I've talked about this many times on various online forums.
I'm old-school; I don't like that kind of gameplay, and maybe that's a disadvantage...

Although I knew that I should have dug up a hero with the "Meteor Shower" spell instead of "Resurrection"; then the Wizards would have fallen on the first week!
Also, I didn't train anyone in "Grand Power" because I didn't dig up a hero with the "Intelligence" skill, and I don't regret it. If I had taken first place, many people would have been unhappy :)

I'd like to add to the requests to the leader to upload saves before the corresponding battles. We can try to beat these battles and exchange opinions and achievements.

I saw this, but the difficulty lies in planning the battles. For myself, I've taken from the description that the main thing is to find a hero with the Resurrection magic in the first week.

Well, Grandpa Mosaic, as always, is in his element :) It would be better to be more constructive and at least decide which saves would be interesting to look at. The leader gives us a lot of room for imagination in his description about how the battles are conducted, but what to do if we lack imagination, and most importantly, knowledge? Therefore, on the very first day, we can come up with saves that will be useless to everyone else. I'll try to determine now approximately which saves would be interesting for me to look at. And you either support it or define your own sets. It's clear that the leader simply cannot upload all the saves. So, let's first think about which ones are interesting to us. In the worst case, the leader can simply describe some of the battle tactics in more detail for which there will be no saves. Saves BEFORE the battles of interest are good because you can try to conduct the battle yourself from these saves, using the ammunition and troops that the leader had when conducting these battles.

I would like to see all the saves!!!!

I would like to see all the save files!!!!

No, no, VDV, don't put cheat codes and hero finders in the same category – they are different things.

There's even a hero related to the meteorite – wow! I need to go back to AmberSolera's documentation, but this time try to study the characteristics of all the heroes – it might come in handy someday :)

Well, I've already joined and requested a battle against the Wizards; it's interesting to see what kind of army he has. The victories in his other battles are quite obvious, at least to me. And I've already played the battle against the Efreet on approximate settings, without morale and luck – as a result, I lost a couple of dozen more Gargoyles.

I would like to see all the saves!!!!

Heh-heh-heh, it's strange that you didn't know! There's a great program about all the heroes (it shows all the information about them!). You should study that, and the "digging" is just...:smile01:
