Posts from The fourth stage of the "Van Kanighem" tournament.

But it's clearly not done manually :smile17:
Most likely, it's not about the result, but about the temptation:rolleyes:

:) And I also don't believe that it's possible to manually amass such large armies to break through such units. What's the problem if the battle is actually won, but it just takes a long time??? But I claim that I can break through manually - I need the saves - I will provide them. I need a description of the tactics - I will provide it.

3. The goal of the game is to defeat the enemy.
The result will be evaluated primarily based on the minimum time.
If several players have the same completion time, the best one will be determined by points. If a favorite cannot be determined even then, it will be determined by the amount of mercury.
---------------------------------------
Can you clarify this point? What does it mean to be determined by points? In all previous stages, the secondary parameter was hero leveling with artifacts, then oil. Confirm that here, instead of leveling, we will focus on the points that the game gives in the final table?

Confirm that instead of focusing on power-ups, we will focus on the points awarded by the game in the final standings?

Exactly.

Add me to the tournament; I want to try it out.

I'm trying to upload a save file, but I'm getting an error. :confused: Can you tell me what the reason is?:(

The 'SMTR' node was not found. Please check the server name you entered. Account: 'POP3', Server: 'SMTR', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Encryption (SSL): No, Socket error: 11001, Error code: 0x800CCC0D

Try sending an email from a different email address on another server. This is a temporary server error, as far as I understand. If you don't have another email address, wait a couple of hours; everything should be back to normal.

Please add me to the list of tournament participants.

You have been accepted, your number is 19. Good luck.

How can I find out if the save file was received? I sent it two days ago.

The save file has been received.

Dear Alan, the table with participant numbers has undergone some unclear changes. For example, vbn was initially listed under the first number (as far as I understand), but now he is not there at all. Consequently, the numbers of other participants may have also changed. Therefore, I would like to clarify under which number I should submit the save file? Under the number that is currently in the table?

Yes, referring to what is currently in the table.

Sent the final save file. Waiting for confirmation.

Save received.

I wonder what the other participants are waiting for.

Are you really that interested? I'll start playing this evening, so you know what I'm expecting...
:smile45: EXTENSION OF DEADLINES:smile45:

P.S. Just kidding (about the deadlines)!!! With my skill level in the fourth game, the result won't change much (and it's unclear in which direction:smile01: ;) )
