So it turns out that I'm a loser with my result... But I just can't figure out how to get the Surprise on the 3rd day without using any programs... Hopefully, I'll learn something...

I think I'm in last place aaaaaaa!

Learn how to use the vbn automator, but before that, run at least 30-50 rounds of a battle with a ballista manually.

try to repeat a walkthrough based on someone else's description after the tournament. This will help you a lot in the future. Just don't go through the description in your head, but actually replay that map.

I just checked the saves, the first "can" is taken on the 3rd day... and the rest (my sister took them) on the 4th... and I didn't take any... and I went with 2 angels =)

Don't worry... you'll get a good ranking - the result is good... I wish I could get into the top 10 - that would be great... =)) It's a long wait until the 3rd...

Ps: As I understand it, everyone was killing heroes... but did anyone kill the Black Dragon even in the rough version?

P.S. To the organizers...

Maybe next time, you should set stricter conditions for completing the map? Because, for example, based on the map's name, I dismissed the idea of destroying the heroes and instead looked for the artifact?:)

Okay, I understand.
As usual, I'm in deep trouble...:(
I even thought about the victory conditions before starting, either one or the other.
I went to kill dragons and get the artifact...:o

I'd like to know how you figured out the Airborne Forces' surprise.

Then, how did you "open the can"? I mean, with what army, spells, etc. (especially the tactics), because I suffered heavy losses.

P.S. For the organizers...

Maybe next time you should set stricter conditions for completing the map? Because, for example, based on the map's name, I still dismissed the idea of destroying the heroes and looked for the artifact?:)

I would like to know how you managed to defeat the VDV surprise. Since killing it with snipers alone, without a supply cart (which is not given to any hero at the start), seems impossible, and if you shoot 32 times and run away from the elements, you would need about 60 snipers? You can understand that this is not possible in the first week.

Good day, esteemed tournament participants!

As per your request:

The preliminary results are ready... on paper :)
I'm now transferring them to the computer; it will be ready in about an hour.

I'm still waiting for all your comments and suggestions in the TOURNAMENT MATTERS thread.

Sincerely, VDV_forever

Yeah, I think 15 will be enough :) Why engage in nonsense?

And why do you think I was playing without any tools? :smile07:

Thanks, I'll do that. It's just that it takes a long time to kill the Earth Elementals!!!!
