I will definitely upload the saves. I have already prepared them (daily and before important battles), but I don't know how I will upload them, as my computer is old, and the transfer speed is 2-4 KB per second, and the saves are about 10 MB. Well, I'll try to figure something out.

Can I ask a question, does the abbreviation in the saves - BB - stand for battles? I only need saves before important battles.

Can I ask a question? Does the abbreviation in the saves – BB – refer to battles? I need saves just before important battles.

Unfortunately, no. BB is the abbreviation for the tournament, and NNN resulted from replaying individual moments. There wasn't time to rename the saves, so they are in chronological order. I don't remember which saves are before the battles right now. I can definitely say that NNN 021 is the save before the surprise from VDV-forevera, and NNN 022!!! is after that battle. I can only check the rest tomorrow.

Okay, thanks, if needed, we'll look for them ourselves :) The main thing is that I know there are saves before important battles, right? Dmitry also said that he might have saves before battles, so I don't want to download and search, just in case there aren't any saves before the battles.

Lan, thanks, if anything comes up, we'll figure it out ourselves :) The main thing is that I know there are saves before important battles, right? Dmitry also said that he has saves before battles in his saves, otherwise I don't want to download and search, in case there aren't any before the battles.

Yes, I have daily saves + saves before battles:
- with wizards
- with phoenixes
- with an army in the garrison
- before the VDV surprise
- with efreets
- with Hacker
- with Black Dragon
- with Magnus
- and others.

That makes sense. It seems like having enough saves right before those key battles is sufficient. Well, maybe someone wants to watch everything :)

Hello friends! Don't you miss me yet? Happy Holidays to everyone!!! I analyzed the winner's save file!!! Of course, a few questions arose, but overall, everything is clear!!! It would be interesting to know the battle tactics, at least for the battles with Archangels on days 18-19 without magic!!! And I still don't understand how Dmitriy A S managed to reach the Gargoyles from his castle on days 22-23 so that they would surrender to him!??? No matter how many times I try, I can't reach them in one day!! To be honest, it was a revelation for me that it's possible to reach the castle without encountering a surprise from VDV_forever!!!!

Added 7 minutes later
And one more thing!!! Dear VDV_forever!!! Could you add a statistics column to the tournament results table, indicating who collected the artifact or who defeated all the heroes!!! Even just with one letter!!! For example, A - artifact, W - victory over all heroes!!! I think it would be interesting to see what everyone was striving for!!! I think it's even possible to divide these two groups, as the strategies for completing the game are completely different!!!! It's even possible to award a separate prize to the one who defeated all the heroes the fastest! Thank you in advance... Mozay

It was a revelation for me too. But I noticed it by chance and took advantage of it. The leader mentioned in the description that this happened due to the "pathfinding" skill, if I understood correctly.

I don't think pathfinding has anything to do with it here! :)

I don't think pathfinding is relevant here at all! :)

It's enough to simply use the keyboard instead of the mouse to indicate the direction of movement (number 9 on Num Lock for entering and number 1 for exiting)... You can easily pass by without any problems. And this was already visible in the map editor... If you have expert pathfinding, you can also control it with the mouse, because in this case the hero walks on the sand without a penalty, and the road doesn't give any advantage...

I would like to hear your opinion about the tournament! All its pros and cons, what would you like to change in the rules, in the tournament itself. This information would play an important role in the next Best of the Best tournament.

P.S. All submitted descriptions will be posted for everyone to see soon! And your participation in evaluating the best one would be very welcome. After the voting, all participants will be awarded Grails.

With great respect, VDV_forever

I don't understand how the respected Dmitriy A. S. managed to reach the gargoyles from the castle on days 22-23.

There's an oasis right behind the gate; could that be the reason?

I would like to hear your opinion about the tournament! All its pros and cons, what would you like to change in the rules or the tournament itself?

My opinion: I liked it, even though I ended up at the very end, but in the next tournament, I think I'll show something worthwhile.

Faith is all I have left...)

Yes, in TE slow is at magic level 2 and it cannot be cast on cursed ground. And without slow, winning this battle will most likely be impossible.I tried playing this battle in WoG - there, slowness is of course at level 1... BUT... anyway, it still didn't work :( now, after the description posted by Sage, I'll try again (By the way, thank you very much, Sage!) Otherwise - yes, in TE winning this battle is IMHO unrealistic...

Added after 31 minutes

Radik;59937

(plus I happened to come across Ta Kotoraya, whom I took out without any problems, sorry if I offended you)
.Well, what am I to do with you =))) Everyone was killing me.... :D :D :D Without problems....
And in general - thanks for the description and saves.
