Okay, we've reached the end. Ask someone for a save after the battle... Maybe even ask someone for a save from the day before?! We'll see what happens :((((

Well, they'll probably ask everyone to upload their saves anyway...=0))
+ I said to take a save in the sense of... being able to replay something from a walkthrough.

I'm in shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even make it into the top 10(((((((((( Are these preliminary results?? Or is it 100% final, meaning they've already been compared based on skills and resources??

P.S. SD - I assume it stands for Dragon Sphere. So, he took it on the 8th day... Hmm, it will be interesting to learn his strategy =))
In principle, after finishing, I also had a plan on how to complete it in 7 days... but because of my trip, I couldn't even improve my own strategy=))

He meant after the final results were announced. You need to understand that :)

With the help of one sniper and a ballista on the first day, I managed to defeat around 28 snipers and 15-16 centaurs in the first can. After that, you get 2 angels, and the rest are easy to defeat. There are only 2 spells, and you need mass slow (with earth magic, which you learn at the gift) and speed up for the snipers... No, you're wrong. You need to think about the conditions right away, i.e., figure out whether it's easier to kill all the heroes or complete the map's task.

If I remember correctly, we start without a tavern, and after building it, we get a Djinn and a

If my memory serves me right, we start without a tavern, and after building it, there's Gem and one of the Warlocks. Or did you use a hero digger?

no.. I don't use a hero digger... I dig manually myself....
after Gem I dug up Kyrre.... and a feast because she has Logistics and a Ballista.. and then everything goes like many do with the gift (I take Kyrre).. I run the Sniper away from elementals while the Ballista shoots at them every turn.... that's it=)) after the gift I level up Logistics, Earth Magic... and Pathfinding..... well, and the rest (I don't remember what) ... and I rush to the preserves, with Gelu behind who will pick up chests out of sight, so that I have enough money to upgrade all archers to Snipers..=))

THESE ARE PRELIMINARY RESULTS, BUT ALREADY COMPARED BASED ON SKILLS AND RESOURCES! To be honest, I thought the result would be 5 days...:o

P.S. To be honest, I'll say that Fireball not only pleased me with his result and met my expectations, but also fulfilled one of the points that I expected to see after the end of the tournament! Thank you, Fireball, for taking a different path!!!

ps CD - I assume it's the Dragon Sphere. I.e., the Fireball. I took it on the 8th day... Hmm, it will be interesting to learn the tactic =))

No, you need to find the Sphere of Permanence.

I would like to know from Fireball how to kill a 260 HP creature on the eighth day?

Well, it's clear that the Sphere of Permanence... the map with the Sphere of the Dragon is called that. So, the Sphere of Permanence is the Sphere of the Dragon.

Dear VDV_forever!

I have a surprise for you, but I'll tell you about it after the tournament.
Now I can rate the map 9.9 out of 10.
Thank you for the pleasure!

We're looking forward to the surprise... we have good memories... :D

Hello, friends!
First of all, I want to thank VDV_forever again for the tournament!
Secondly, I thank VDV for not dragging things out and for posting the preliminary results today.
Thirdly, the surprise was that the organizer's hint about the importance of primary skills and mercury "pops up" only on the 10th day. Some, as the preliminary results showed, had already given up on the map by the 7th day. :)
And most importantly, I preliminarily congratulate the winner and the prize-winners!
You can find the rest in my walkthrough, which I sent to VDV_forever today.
Now we can discuss it.

Hmm, for those who completed it in 7 days, these parameters are very important... :D
