... Although, for those starting as Shakti, it shouldn't matter.
I guess this is a jab at my sandbox? :rolleyes:
In general, speed tournaments are not played like that. Everyone is given the same save file so that everyone is on equal footing, and whoever is faster is better.
Let's start with the fact that this is not a tournament, but amateur playthroughs. It wouldn't have mattered who started, the result would have been the same! And as it turned out, we identified another bug in the game that no one knew about!!!
P.S. Instead of ":smile30:", I would organize a "real tournament" :smile13:, because everyone is an expert at pointing fingers and acting smart... ;)

...Actually, speedrun tournaments aren't played like that. Everyone is given the same save file so that everyone is on equal footing, and whoever is faster is better.
I wanted to mention this myself, but Dirty got ahead of me. I decided to play the tournament map "Caribbean". I read other people's walkthroughs, but I decided to choose my own path. On day 10, I took all the enemy cities and built a Grail (the record is 7 days), but one enemy hero remained on a small island. And then I encountered a problem - this enemy destroyed his boat and stood on such a small piece of land that I couldn't get to him - I had to wait 7 days for him to die on his own. So you say that the AI is stupid, but it causes trouble like a smart opponent.

MrLucefer, if you could upload a starting save where Shakti is present, I would be grateful! I want to play this save.
Let's consider this a tournament :).
The problem is that someone cleared the recycle bin while I was away, and the starting save is now lost. Try playing with 111_02.

I decided to play through the tournament map "Caribbean."
Which one is that? Can you provide a link?
I encountered a problem – this enemy destroyed his ship and stood on such a small piece of land that I couldn't get close to him – so I had to wait 7 days for him to die on his own. And then people say that AI is stupid – but it can be quite annoying.
Well, in my case, such a situation (isolating a strong enemy on an island) often works "to my advantage": I wrote about this today here.

That's exactly what I was saying. If it's an amateur Walkthrough, then everyone sets their own rules. I believe that the starting hero won't affect the number of days.

If you want, I can do it even tomorrow. It doesn't depend on me; all I need are willing participants...

In general, to improve your skills, I advise you to play through saved games from previous Tournaments (if there aren't any current ones) and compare your results with those of professionals.

Oh, what a link! So many nostalgic memories. This was my very first tournament ever. I had just joined the forum, was very ambitious, and was thrilled to have the opportunity to "show those noobs how to play Heroes!" :D :D :D
After the tournament results were announced, I was in that very state of shock and the familiar depression that overcomes a newbie who has just tried playing online games for the first time :D It was a turning point in my worldview. "How is that even possible? It's just unreal!"
By the way, I was thinking about this map not so long ago, about a month ago, while I was lying in the bathtub :D and either I overheated, or I don't know what, but this map came to my mind. I realized! how it's even possible to play on it in such a short time. Or rather, I heard about it back then, but it didn't quite sink in! And the whole thing is about the "hat" – it's a real cheat and unfair. A ridiculous result, I'm indignant!
I haven't looked at the map in my current state of mind, and I've already forgotten about it, but I'm sure that without that "thing," it's simply physically impossible to play it that way. That's how it is. So, after all these years, I can confidently say that my anger was justified :D

It was also my first tournament. My result was about the same as yours ;)

By the way, using the Admiral's Hat in its entirety is now prohibited. So, you can't achieve that kind of result anymore. And if you use the hat without restrictions, the map can be completed in 1 day.

I'm number 3 in line, asking to draw a map and organize a tournament :) (IceTitan asked to be first). While you're drawing, I'll have time to rest :)
I don't have the inspiration to draw. I'll take an already finished map.

The first time I completed the Caribbean campaign, the result was similar to yours (55 / 498). At that time, I cleared the entire territory and didn't use the hat or whirlpools. And then I realized that not only is it unnecessary to clear the entire territory (that's my weakness), but neutral towns are also not needed. But the score remains the same (10+7 / 498) :D

Yes, I've been reading your reports, and you've really improved. If you practiced your combat skills more, you'd almost be a master swordsman.

How can I view all the moves of a hero, or heroes, from an existing save in HD Mode?
Press the mouse wheel and the bottom button in the menu that appears.

Is it possible to hold a tournament on the "Lake of Plagues" map?
On the "Thousand Islands" map :D

I looked at the topic RESULTS OF OFFLINE TOURNAMENTS FOR HOMM III. /topic/at/611862/.
Interesting.
It turns out there was a tournament on the War of the Strongest map. It's just unclear what the victory conditions were.
There, you had to gain the maximum amount of experience for the starting hero in 27 days.

ATTENTION! A new tournament will be opened soon! It will be interesting; get ready! :)

But regarding the map "Everyone is Fighting!", an idea occurred to me. When Syre gained Air Magic at level 2, I thought that before starting the game, you should check all heroes with 30 mana to see if they also gain Air Magic immediately at level 2. Choose 2 or 1, if there aren't 2 available :). And then, with 3 or 4 air mages and 2 air units, the map should be easy to complete in 7 days.
Now this is a serious discussion! :)
For now, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the Tournaments rules

1. I read in the Manual that you can dismiss a hero (if he has no movement points left) in a town/garrison through the Kingdom Overview. It says that it doesn't work in all versions.
I tried it in the Complete Collection, and it doesn't work. Or are there any nuances? What should I do?
You need to move the hero to the top of the garrison.
Chingis
2. And the same question, how to leave a hero completely without troops so that he can continue moving. I also tried, but it doesn't work. Neither with the arrow keys nor without them. What should I do?
Don't do anything. This tactic is prohibited by the rules.

to leave the hero completely without troops so that he can run further. I also tried, but it doesn't work. Neither with arrows nor without them. What should I do?
This is only provided in the game for completing quests: for example, a Seer/Guardian requires you to have 100 griffins, and your hero happens to have an army of 100 griffins. In this case, you can give them away and continue without any troops, but any combat encounter will be fatal. In all other cases, this is impossible: no matter what you do, the hero must have at least 1 unit remaining.
