Posts from TOURNAMENT TROUBLES!

But what if you make a mistake and, without realizing it (i.e., unintentionally), become a cheater?

However, look at how many people used this automation tool in the tournament, and the computer didn't change anyone's tactics; it just ran after the sniper. So, keep your speculations to yourself. Now it's your turn to prove that the computer CAN change its tactics even once in this battle! If you prove it, then we can continue the discussion, but if not, there's nothing to discuss. Your claim is unsubstantiated and based on an assumption, while my claim is based on PRACTICE, so it is not unsubstantiated.

so keep your speculations to yourself.

There is no way to prove that the battle is stuck in a loop. We don't know how the AI works. Just imagine that it has a principle built in, such as "after N turns in a cycle, switch tactics," or something else... For example, instead of attacking the nearest unit, it attacks a ballista...

In other words, if you haven't encountered this behavior through experimentation, it doesn't prove that it can't happen in principle... Therefore, it won't work... Please, simulate the entire battle from start to finish, but don't jump from the start to the end just because "I'm sure..."

BUT! after about 50 earth elementals were left, for some reason they stopped chasing the snipers and rushed the harpies. And that's where,
if we had an automator, we would have messed up.

So AmberSoler's words make sense.

Exactly, even if a battle is won 100% of the time, there's still a probability of different loss totals. That is, in the end, we might end up with a couple more dragons. How to handle this? I don't know how to use ArtMoney, but I have no doubt that this is "parasitic"

Iron, you really should have studied mathematics and elementary logic back in the day... you're wasting so much of your own and others' time... :)

For example, I have never encountered ball lightning in my life and don't know a single person who has. Therefore, it doesn't exist. Now show it to me, then I'll believe... Well, or something along those lines.

If an event has never happened once, then based on that alone, you cannot claim that it cannot happen.

Indeed, why am I even stating my thoughts here. Pure word-spinning... If it were up to me, I would officially allow IronAxe to use all known tricks and programs while playing and would never question that right. Play however you want; why drag others into this swamp? Stop lobbying ArtMoney here.

Smart people already told you clearly once—if you want to use it, use it quietly and be happy. Just don't tell anyone about it...

The battle lasted 3 hours manually, and at some moments it started to seem that my hand would shake—and that' same it...
In this battle, as in the case with the ballista, snipers were a distraction, and harpies acted as the ballista.
BUT! after about 50 earth units remained, for some reason they stopped chasing snipers and rushed the harpies.

And this is where, having an automator, we would have messed up.
So there is sense in AmberSoler's words.

Iron, why do you always use other portals as examples??? You write every other post "if you wanted to understand me" or "you still didn't get my point." Yes, we are just too stupid to understand your thoughts, Iron Axe!!!

If ArtMoney only automates cyclic processes, then I simply have nothing to hit with! ;)

I agree with Vbn and AmberSoler. I can confirm this case documentarily using the example of the last

tournament, in the final battle for capture art (I conducted the battle for the first time without using a force field), I won not without problems, but I won;

Are you suggesting that the defense should be so strong that even an experienced player would have trouble getting out of the starting area? The maps that VDV posts for tournaments, especially those with surprises, are dynamic. In a long, tedious battle with a large but slow defense, we can quickly level up our hero using automatons. But according to your idea, we would have to build up and accumulate troops just to level up the hero so that he can get out of the starting area and acquire the appropriate magic. As a result, instead of one problem (tedious, long battles - but there's a solution with automatons), we'll get another (building up + accumulating troops for leveling up and acquiring skills and magic - but there's no way to speed that up).

The time issue can be resolved quickly: simply place surprises without guards... just walk up and level up... and then you'll kill two birds with one stone: first, you won't need to use any external programs (including ArtMoney), and second, you won't have to waste time leveling up your hero.

And thirdly, few would have known that the ballista has infinite ammunition and a battle tactic involving a single ballista :) if the organizers hadn't created such battles. I mean, maybe no one would have even figured it out if all the upgrade stations and boxes were placed on maps without any guards.

Also with the fight of 1 fairy against 1000 skeletons, why??? You could just put 50-100 skeletons instead, the main thing is to capture the meaning of these fights, but not go grey in front of the computer engaging in own absurdity for several hours, puffing over a battle.

...as long as maps offer long, guaranteed winnable battles, many players will use available methods to speed up the process.

This is not news. What is the point of this conversation? Do you want some local official to write an official permission for everyone to use Artu as they see fit?

I don't think this will happen... I can't understand what you are trying to achieve...

To convey to the players the information that at least one person among us will use officially prohibited methods of the game? You conveyed this half a year ago, and everyone has already come to terms with this fact. What's next? State your ultimate goal, otherwise we're just going in circles again...
