Joint offline tournament for the King’s Bounty: Crossroads of Worlds game, “The Outcast”

Legend:

It’s tough, oh so tough for a novice mage in the vast lands of Teana:
and if everything seems to be okay with intelligence, a couple of useful spells have already been learned for battles, and there are no particular problems with money, then morale, attack, and troops are a real problem!
Paladins from Debir refuse to fight for Amelie, demanding a Battle Axe for themselves, Reik Yavik from Boloto refuses to give such a powerful weapon to such weak hands, demanding to gain experience to complete the Hall of Fame, and the barbarians mock Amelie's army, consisting of five inquisitors, and refuse to fight her. It's a vicious circle!
And only the experienced traveler Zigurd the Wanderer took pity on our heroine and advised her to go to Rusty Anchor. Pirates, orcs, assassins – a depraved rabble, ready to tear anyone apart for profit. But if Amelie turns out to be a tough nut and gives them a worthy rebuff, then she will gain invaluable experience in battles with them, return to Boloto as a stronger warrior, and make the barbarians respect her!

Tournament Rules

1. The tournament will be held from March 6, 2013, to April 6, 2013 (inclusive, Moscow time) on the licensed version of the King’s Bounty: Crossroads of Worlds game, “The Orcs’ March” campaign, version 1.3.1 (build 6170).

2. The goal of the tournament: Without leaving the Rusty Anchor island, complete any three battles of your choice.

3. The overall result will be calculated using the following formula:
R = O + (PH)*20,
where O is Amelie's experience after three victories,
PH is the sum of the primary characteristics of attack, defense, and intelligence, taking into account the equipped artifacts (PH);

The participant with the highest result will be declared the winner.
What to upgrade, who to fight, and how to do it is up to you. :P

Example. Player Vasya Pupkin completed the game on Rusty Anchor and sent the save with the following results:
- experience 5004;
- sum of primary characteristics: attack 6, defense 8, intelligence 14;

Then his result will be as follows:
R = 5004 + (6+8+15)*20 = 5584

4. The following are prohibited in the tournament:
- leaving Rusty Anchor;
- fleeing from the battlefield;
- starting a battle with an over-limit troop composition;
- stealing navigation maps;
- using marauders for enrichment;
- digging up and picking up any chests during the battle (digging up and picking up chests on the adventure map is allowed!);
- playing with installed mods, fixes, etc.;
- using any cheat programs that can change the structure of the game and the starting save;
- restarting the game (you can only play from the starting save);
- publishing final results before the end of the tournament.

5. Instructions for saving and playing:
- download the starting save orcs_Start_KB_otv.7z and extract it to … My Documents\My Games\Kings Bounty Crossworlds\$save;
- launch the "Crossroads of Worlds" game, load the "The Orcs’ March" campaign, and load the starting save;
- after defeating the first and second squads of enemies, you must make an intermediate save;
- Immediately after defeating the third squad of enemies, you must make a final save with your nickname (for example, orcs_AlexSPl.sav) and send it to the email address VDV_forever@bk.ru.

I wish everyone a pleasant time!
