And another question—who did you use to take the pile of gold (900) that's off to the side, and what did you actually do with that hero?
Concrete answers to any questions after the introductions. Don't be offended, but this is the right way to do it. I've already prepared a full description. It's called "Teremok" :)

No. You can give him your troops without any problem, but then you won't be able to take anything back—neither yours nor others'... An ally is an evil. :) And in my own humble opinion, there's no help from them at all.
Well, this isn't a portal—we share secrets in a heartbeat :) Is it possible that nobody knows anything there?? I'll take all the ally's troops and leave him with absolutely nothing :) Want me to tell you how to do it?

Well, it's not exactly a portal – we're just sharing secrets easily. Is it really the case that nobody knows anything there? I'll take all of the ally's troops and leave him with nothing. Should I explain how to do it?
Yeah... :) let's do it right now, and then we'll delete the posts... :D

No, seriously, no hacks. Everything is done legally. :) I'm just curious, is it possible that none of the players know about it on the portal?

It's not a portal here – we're sharing secrets freely. Is there really no one who knows anything? I'll take all of the ally's troops and leave him with nothing. Should I explain how to do it?

Is it possible to log in as two players and make a move for the ally yourself?
There are also countermeasures against this tactic. Only inattentive moderators can allow it.

You guessed wrong :) As I said, it's done on a LEGAL basis!

When generating a starting save (in the map editor), the "Human Player" option is usually disabled for all heroes except the starting one... So, you can only make a move for your ally on random maps... In any case, this is a normal rule for normal tournaments. Or does Iron know some trick?

I know everything :) almost. At least, back in my day, this trick worked - we used to play hotseat games :)
I'm almost afraid to say it. On the portal, they'll immediately declare it a bug, no, better yet, a cheat. I'm a well-known cheater :)

On the "DVK-2M"? Or on the "Sinclair"? Ah!!! Back in your youth! Well, then it was ENIAC! :D
You take out the punched card and legally take all the units from your ally... Who will count all those holes (perforations) later? :D :D :D

Come on, you're not *that* old. I declare a blitz challenge for you two, since there's no one else around. First one to figure it out wins. It's done with a simple troop exchange. For this, you need a couple of well-prepared heroes as allies. If you can't guess, I'll tell you. I wonder if it still works – can you check? I'll go have a smoke while you think. So, any guesses?

Either spill it, or forget about it ... :) But don't drag your feet.
Check it, who knows what version you played on - maybe it's been fixed, but there seems to be nothing about this in the docs. I have a couple of heroes with various gear and empty pockets. An allied hero with a bunch of good troops. My hero approaches him for an exchange. Here is the problem - not all of the ally's pockets are full. I separate DIFFERENT HETEROGENEOUS gear one by one and fill his empty pockets. Then I separate other heterogeneous gear one by one and drop them into a pocket where 100 Liches, 50 Vamps, and 20 Dragons are located. The exchange happened :) And to that loser I said - go fight in the IDs and don't come back here without 100 Dragons :) Will you check it?

There was an exchange of information.
Allied units are not available for activation – they are just a picture and nothing else... So, I think it's no longer possible in the current state of the game.

But you have to try. It worked for us. There was no activation. I would drag a unit onto the picture of his army. My units would be sent there. And since he didn't have any empty slots and the unit was of a different type and couldn't merge with anyone, an exchange occurred. I was laughing at my HotS ally. He went to smoke, and I did this. And I kept quiet. When he came back and started playing, he entered his hero and saw one unit of each type there, like a gnoll, a dwarf, a goblin, instead of a bunch of his own troops, and he said: "Wow, what a GLITCH!!!" :) I should have seen his angry face :) I was even crying with laughter :) It's a shame if it's been fixed :)

PS. Well, I have The Shadow of Death version 3.0, which can't be patched. It works in it :) I checked, only between allied humans for speed. But it doesn't matter. But there, all foreign units are outlined with yellow frames when you click on them. And it's possible to send one unit at a time into the slots, even if they are of the same type. Check this trick with an ally on your patched version :)

Has anyone tried completing the game with 6 heroes?

In my opinion, this could reduce the cost per hero (2500). But it could also turn out that you can gather more than 2500 resources, and only then would buying 6 heroes be justified.

Although, I did it simpler: I just made an exact copy of the map (the copy was identical to the starting save), placed a hero (I started with Moner, then switched to another agile hero) in the Castle, and saw what he could do in his turn (starting the game with the edited map). And then I drew conclusions about who should go where. I did this because it's much faster than digging up the right heroes with a hero finder.

These are the stats. Moner's movement range is determined by his unit - the fairy. Total - 1760 movement points.
Dessa has 1560 movement points + 10.5% (basic logistics + specialization Level 1), totaling 1723 movement points. But, this is just theory. What happens in reality can only be tested. But I've checked all the logistics heroes - no one came close to Moner...
What about Moner, who also has basic logistics, i.e., his initial movement points = 1760 * 10% = 1936.

In principle, I just checked - I had: 3 sulfur (450 coins), 5 mercury (750 coins), a bunch of gold (900 coins), and a chest (1000 coins). In total, 3100. Minus one hero (2500 gold). That's exactly 600 coins difference.
The starting hero was at the market.
I guess I'm just used to playing for speed:)

But what kind of speed is it when completing the game with 6 heroes in 1 day versus 7 heroes in 1 day, but in the end, you have fewer resources, as I already mentioned.
