Hmm... I watched it... clever! My respect! And still, the tactic in the last battle... Is there really enough mana? I thought there needed to be more... that's why I didn't take the sphere... but at the beginning, that's exactly what I wanted...

Deployment: 72 snipers - angel - arch - arch - arch.
1. First turn - force field around the snipers, angel, and cart; 2 stacks of archs cover the angel, who then positions himself to be covered by the field. Then the field is placed every odd turn, the angel defends, and the snipers shoot.
2. Haste. Repeat on turns 16, 30.
4. Slayer. Repeat on turns 18, 32.
6. Accuracy. Repeat on turns 20, 34.
The duration of the battle depends on how often luck and morale trigger. In my case it was:
luck triggered on turns 12, 29, 30, 32, 38, and morale did not trigger at all. As a result, victory on turn 43 of the battle.

I wonder how much and in what ways it will differ from the 8-day one I had in mind.
Final Battle:
Setup: 72 snipers - angel - arch - arch - arch.
1. First turn - cast a force field around the snipers, the angel, and the cart; 2 stacks of archers cover the angel, who then positions himself to be protected by the field. Then, the field is cast every odd turn, the angel is protected, and the snipers shoot.
2. Haste. Repeat on turns 16, 30.
4. Assassin. Repeat on turns 18, 32.
6. Accuracy. Repeat on turns 20, 34.
The duration of the battle depends on how often luck and morale trigger. In my case:
luck triggered on turns 12, 29, 30, 32, 38, and morale didn't trigger at all. As a result, I won on turn 43.
You're awesome, dude!
P.S.: Huge thanks to VDV for organizing this tournament! Thanks to him, I became more confident in the next day! (In the game, although... and there too ;) )
By the way, either I'm having glitches, or my nickname is displayed in bold and italic! :smile20:
I wish the Wbn save would "come out" soon:smile12: :smile12: :smile12: :smile12: :smile12: :smile12:
The most important thing on this map is to SURVIVE the first "wave"... And then it's just a matter of technique... :smile47:
P.S. P.S.: Is it true that the map can be completed in 8 days?!!!!! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED ME AND THE CAVALIER! YOU HELPED US A LOT! (Of course, I don't know the Cavalier's opinion ;) :p ):smile12: :smile12: :smile12: :smile12:

:eek: :eek: :eek: And what, did someone use some kind of program?! What kind of programs?! Is this cheating?!! :eek: :smile04: :smile11:
P.S. One small question for the organizer!
Why are there people (Richard I) in the table of preliminary results who didn't even register for the tournament?

Richard I registered for the tournament.
Where is the official application?
Where is the post about sending the save file?
And most importantly, WHEN?
P.S. I remember a similar situation on the Second stage of the World Cup...
P.S. I remember a similar situation in the Second stage of the World Cup...
Remind me too... I'm actually curious, where exactly...
And with Richard, it's really unclear. I reviewed the entire thread and didn't find his application to join, nor is he on the list... In short, a request to the organizers to clarify the situation.
P.S. A post about sending the save file is not mandatory... Usually, this is done to get guarantees from the organizer that the save file has been received.

I meant that at least in the post about submitting, it would be clear that the person registered and sent the save (ON TIME).
Because it's not always clear whether the save was sent on time, and that can lead to violations of several rules.
Of course, I'm not blaming anyone, but I'm sure that saves have been submitted late, sometimes by hours or even days.
Therefore, I suggest introducing a limit (in the form of a post from the organizer: "SAVE SUBMISSION IS CLOSED").
And make a post about submitting mandatory!

If there are any doubts about the validity of the playthrough, we will resolve all issues (of course, only after all those who placed higher than Richard I provide similar materials).
No! There is no need to shift the blame onto the fairness of the playthrough (for now).
According to updated information, he experienced some kind of malfunction, due to which the message with a request for registration was not published on the forum.
He didn't know about it.
He completed the tournament on time and sent the save file.
There is no proof yet!

There is no proof yet!
By the way, VDV_forever can easily verify this... :smile53:
Best regards.
