:smile41: Please remove me from the list. :smile41:

Hello everyone!
This tournament is turning out to be quite an adventure for me, as my hard drive crashed and I lost all its contents. Now I'm thinking about how to put together something decent for myself in the remaining time. Luckily, I didn't send the final save file – I wanted to improve the result as much as possible. Otherwise, I would have had to explain why I completed the game without saving.
Buying a new hard drive isn't a problem, but restoring the contents is... I've lost a lot, and I'm not just talking about the game saves.
But now, it's only forward, towards conquering new heights, which is what I wish for all the other participants.
Best regards.

:smile41: Please remove me from the list... :smile41:

But no :) , maybe you will still find the time and complete it?

Best regards, VDV_forever

Hello everyone!
This Tournament is turning out to be quite an adventure for me, as my hard drive crashed and all its contents were lost. Now I'm thinking about how to show something decent within the remaining time. Luckily, I didn't send the final save - I wanted to improve the result as much as possible. Otherwise, I would have to explain why I completed it without saves.
Buying a new hard drive is not a problem, but restoring the contents... I've lost a lot. I mean not only Heroes.
But now, only forward, to conquer new heights, which I also wish to other participants.
Best regards

I sympathize:(.
But, I still hope that you will not only restore the contents of your hard drive, but also install Heroes 3 and improve your own result, showing not two surprises, but THREE!

Best regards, VDV_forever

Thank you for your support. I'm with you, no matter what happens! Besides, VDV_forever promised a return surprise. Sincerely,

Hello everyone!
I can finally submit a save with a decent result. Just a little bit left to wait. I hope for victory! My own.
I wish Dmitry AS good luck, as he is the main favorite. Therefore, I want him to submit his best playthrough after all.

I've finished my turn ( :))))))).
I wish everyone good luck:)). I hope I won't let down the members of my clan///

Hello everyone! Sign me up for the tournament! I've already downloaded the map. It's very beautiful, 10 out of 10. But I would change the tournament task... I'll say how, if the tournament organizer allows it (I'm afraid of violating the tournament rules). Since I haven't played in an offline tournament recently (since the last skeleton-collecting championship), I don't know much about the tournament participants. If possible, please create a table. For example: No. Player Nick 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Points 1 Owerty 2 20 2 Dmitry A S 1 10 3 Ataman 1 6 99 Perpolken 1 4 Points are calculated as in Formula 1 (1st - 10 points, 2nd - 8 points, 3rd - 6 points, 4th - 5 points, 5th - 4 points, 6th - 3 points, 7th - 2 points, 8th - 1 point). Regarding bugs: I agree with all the known ones except for the ballista (it's too small; you can't win the game with that bug). However, buying a hero who fled or surrendered on the same day should be considered a bug (starting from the next championship, since this one is already ending)! I'll explain after the championship. Regarding the final save: I think (as many others do) that from the next championship, the rules should be changed to allow 2 heroes to be left in the final save! And also, prohibit the construction of the artifact merchant building (to avoid selling artifacts at inflated prices). For those who will be summarizing the results: I would like to see in the table not only 1. the player's nickname and 2. the number of days, but also 3. the hero's level and 4. the skills. A request to all participants: If you have signed up for the tournament, please send your best save (even if you don't think it's very good). Otherwise, it turned out rather awkwardly in the skeleton-collecting tournament! 40 people signed up, but only 20 sent in the final save! Sincerely, Perpolken.

No, that's not true :) Perhaps you will still find the time and complete it?

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Yes, I will. I said that out of sheer foolishness... Please forgive me.

Look at the terrain where the battle is taking place... If it's a magical terrain, then this always happens... just like when casting random spells with Genies, for example...

Hello everyone! Sign me up for the tournament!

I've already downloaded the map. It’s very beautiful, 10 out of 10 points. But I would change the tournament task…I will say how if only the tournament organizer allows it (I am afraid to violate the rules of the tournament)...

Good day, dear Perpolken!

Please indicate all your wishes and suggestions in the topic:

TOURNAMENT REQUESTS!

/topic/2393/

(which will open on 05/01/07).

They will definitely be considered, and possibly accepted starting with the next tournament!;)

In this topic, you can also find out about any pressing issues that have arisen during, before or after the tournament for any version of Heroes.

P.S. Your post will be moved to this topic, just like some others that I previously deleted.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

What if something like this happens...

Good day, dear Yaroogle!

If you explain your case in more detail and send it to me via PM, you will definitely receive a quick answer.

P.S. And in this topic (just like in any other), it is better not to discuss the tournament;) . Therefore, write to me in PM or by email;

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Since I've only recently been playing in offline Tournaments (since the last Skeleton Gathering championship), I don't know much about the tournament participants. If possible, please create a table. For example:

No. Player Nickname 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Points
1 Owerty 2 20
2 Dmitry A S 1 10
3 Ataman 1 6

99 Perpolken 1 4

Points are calculated as in Formula 1 (1st - 10 points, 2nd - 8 points, 3rd - 6 points, 4th - 5 points, 5th - 4 points, 6th - 3 points, 7th - 2 points, 8th - 1 point)

We have such lists... only they are calculated slightly differently...
Therefore, look at the topics in the section:Rating Calculation Systems
and also in the topics with the following titles:
-OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT RESULTS!
-[INFORMATION] Van Kanigem Tournament Rankings
and finally, take a look at this post.... from the topic: Ranking for Tournaments across all Heroes games.

Sincerely.

Greetings to all esteemed tournament participants.

Finally, I have reached the final, winning step in this tournament, which seemed quite difficult at first glance! I imagine that Dmitry's championship result will be about 2 times better.
I have sent my final save to the Esteemed Creator; therefore, if anyone wishes to verify my save or see what date it is timestamped (23.04.07), either I or the Creator will post it for public viewing after the tournament.

There is little time left, so I ask participants not to delay their Walkthrough of the tournament, nor the sending of final saves. There WILL BE NO extension of deadlines!

P.S. And yet, that funny and nerve-wracking rule about having only one hero in the final save:) really rattled my nerves; I spent 3 hours (at work) replaying it under fear of risk:D :smile33:

"But afterwards, the feeling is incomparable":smile44:

Respectfully, VDV_forever

Hello, tournament participants!

I, Vladimir, would say that this is a seemingly SIMPLE tournament, as there are plenty of hidden challenges on the map.
And I wasn't asking about two heroes finishing at the same time for no reason.
I was able to recover my result, thankfully I remember everything by heart, although the computer did throw in a surprise, which I managed to avoid.
Now I just need to fix some minor mistakes and send the save file, before something else happens.
I'm taking my wife to the hospital tomorrow... We're expecting our second son. But I'm still with you - fellow enthusiasts of this great game. That means a lot, doesn't it?
And finally, I'll tell you that I'm happy with my result, which is quite rare...

Well, as they say,
we'll fight to the last drop! :smile08:

I've sent the save file; I hope it's a decent result. P.S. And why, after every post by Dmitry_A_S, do I get the feeling that my result will be at least twice as bad?
