I think I'll send my save in a few days, as I believe the result can be improved by 1, maximum 2 days. :)
But I don't think there will be any time left for improvement. :(

P.S. Perhaps I am mistaken... :)

Sincerely, VDV_forever

I'm also still debating whether to send it .. or not... given recent experience
I decided to hold off for now.
As for how much to improve it - I have no ideas yet, other than trying to force the computer to act differently. But THERE IS NO ENTHUSIASM!

P.S. I've realized that I am not an offline player. I lack the patience to sit over one level more than 2-3 times (even if I have the time).
Online is for me!

Can you add me to the list too? And could you explain the rules in more detail (playing one against all AI opponents, etc., and is it mandatory to play as Barbarians?) I'm new here, just registered, and I don't know how things work. But I've been on the website several times before (downloading files, etc.). I've played all the games, and I like them all in their own way.

Can you sign me up too?
And could you explain the rules to me in more detail (playing alone against all computers, etc., and is it mandatory to play as Barbarians? =)

I've been here for one day, so to speak, just registered, and I don't know how things work here =)
But I've been on the site a few times (downloaded files, etc.)

I've played all the parts and like them all in their own way =)

1. The rules are on the first page of this thread.
2. (You don't have to play ONLY as Barbarians) - but only download the save and play it.
Read the rules to the end (they are quite accessible).
If you have any questions, ask Alan - he is the leader here. (or someone else will help)

2 Arandor, you have been accepted, and your starting number is 26. You need to download startsaveVK.zip (this is an archive of the starting save file). Place it in the Games folder. Launch the game and load this save file. After that, you can start playing. Restarting the save or playing from a map is prohibited. Yes, you will be playing one player against AI opponents controlling the Barbarians. The game is about speedrunning the map.

Let's encourage him with a like! ;)

I'll take this opportunity to promote a small tournament for Heroes of Might and Magic III, which will start on March 6th: Second Tournament for Skeleton Gathering, i.e., tomorrow...

Will there be a simple tournament for the third part, like there was for the second? Not based on collecting skeletons =))) I play better in the third than in the second.

I'm also still considering whether to submit it or not... given my recent experience, I've decided to wait for now. I don't have any ideas on how to improve it yet, except maybe trying to make the computer act differently. But I don't have the ENTHUSIASM!

I'd be happy to read a description from a player who beats my score by days, specifically by 2 in-game days!:smile51:

As always, I can't seem to trick the clever AI:D, whoever manages to do it will be able to beat my score by 1 day:) .

P.S. I'm already writing a description for the tournament map;)

Best regards, VDV_forever

Of course, it will be interesting to read, even though the AI is less aggressive here than in the first game, but it is more thoughtful (it no longer splits up when running around and starts building immediately).

Probably half of the participants here haven't played the second Heroes game very much (and I'm one of them), so don't be afraid and join the tournament.

I started with the second game.)
Although, I played it at a friend's house... but still.)
