Players should be allowed one mistake; this would significantly increase the number of decent games. As it is, any mistake can ruin several hours of gameplay. For example, one player's guards might be slightly better positioned, or a single unit's morale might allow it to stun neutral creatures for the entire battle. This can be decisive at the beginning against a truly strong player, while a weaker player hopes their opponent will make a mistake or simply give up.
P.S. Thanks to those who play without using save-scumming (loading saves). I won't say anything more, as these are games of skill.

Denis, I'm sorry, but you're a top-10 player, and load should not be a concern for you. We're all in the same boat; most of us have families and children. Complaining about this and some random situation in the game seems inappropriate, especially considering you're such a skilled player.
I wasn't expecting any misclicks from you; we didn't break any rules of the Tournaments. A strong player is strong in everything, including assessing risks in the game. So, you should blame yourself. And including the right to load in the rules on the League, as well as on other Heroes sites, is complete nonsense.

I don't see any advantage in playing without loads. Losing in the first week because of a misclick? Forgetting to remove the shackles? Jumping into the Treasury in the last seconds and accidentally attacking strong guards? Etc. What's the fun in such victories? That's why good players offer you a chance to play.

I wish you and 2-3 other players didn't think for yourselves and create rules, but rather considered what the majority thinks and what would be best for the game. You got hung up on a rule after the first load, but you came up with it, so why not? But in the end, instead of a good game, we wasted a week and a half for nothing.

What kind of nonsense is this?! I didn't invent the rules for myself. Explain what "better for the game" means? It's some abstract concept in this context. I wasn't clinging to the rules. Those who are looking for any way out of the situation are clinging to them, using any means possible. We agreed on load limits within the rules. Why did you "get upset" about the load limits? Everyone had the opportunity to discuss the rules before the tournament. To accuse me of inventing rules for myself is ridiculous. :confused: I've always been interested in how the Community reacts to certain tournament rules... now I won't be.
