Ley, with your question, you want to show that you know how to easily defeat the Guardian and not lose a single unit in the process... This is obvious to everyone... :) But not everyone can do it on the first try... So why are you surprised that someone is simply making the game easier for themselves with this tactic? For example, I first defeated the upgraded stack and half of the non-upgraded one, losing only one serpent, and then I took out the Guardian itself... On the first try - and I didn't waste time on optimization :)
Well, I don't mean that I'm some kind of pro, but rather the opposite - I was VERY surprised that Kamikaze did it this way, because he is a player with a good level of skill in Heroes, and he has beaten me many times, and not just me. This was addressed specifically to him :), and I won't say anything about you, Amber. Let's just say: the 5th stage probably taught you something too... :D

I don't think there will be many. By the way, there might not be any at all... :D We'll see, wait for the announcement...
Finally! I was already starting to panic. But when will you release it, Amber? :)

Dear Tournament Participants, I suggest that you cast your vote for the best description of the fourth stage of the BLITZ TOURNAMENT!
Let me put it this way: the 5th stage probably taught you something too... :D
Otherwise... :) The more time you spend on balancing, the less desire you have to play for a good result later. You either design or play... I sent the first and only final save... Although my theoretical calculations had a ceiling of around 33400... So our pros showed a significantly better result than I expected... :)

SIXTH STAGE OF THE BLITZ TOURNAMENT
"Mirage"
As promised, we present you with the next map for the Blitz Tournament, the sixth one in a row, which will help pass the time during long and boring tournament breaks for all lovers of something more exciting... :)
So,
"...Before you is a scorching desert. Almost bare, almost lifeless, but... there are lizards and insects found in the desert, and even ostriches sometimes appear, and once... (c) Gleb Zhezlov and Volodya Sharapov met..." No, this isn't nonsense; it's an introduction that directly relates to the plot. The real craziness comes later... :D
The map is not trivial, I must say right away. There's no easy way out here. There won't be any hints either. All the techniques and tricks that you will have to use on this map were practiced in previous rounds of the blitz; also, many useful things have been discussed by us recently on the forum... You won't find anything supernatural here, nevertheless, you will have to try hard to get the most out of it... In any case, I hope so... :)
Characters:
Gleb - Monere Sharapov - Dessa (the mask Kilgor* is an author's liberty) Murka - Vidomina (the mask Mutare) Gorbatiy - Kyrre (the hero mask, which in Hero Editor is called Extra1) Torgrim - plays himself (Torgrim) Observer - Wystan (does not participate in the scenario, he just wants to watch. Let him watch.)
Notes:
*1. This information is important for those who use Hero Editor in the game. The fact is that this program searches for a hero not by name, but by his image. Therefore, in order to hire the right hero, you need to enter the name of the hero depicted on the mask (highlighted in red) into the search conditions, and not the one who is actually there.
2. It is forbidden to bypass the guardian without completing his task first.
Condition for passing the map: spend no more than one day playing, and earn as much gold as possible; i.e., your final save must be made at the end of the first game day. When to finish it is up to you...
1. The final save should be named according to the template: FT6_player nickname.gm1. (We will not create an application table for this stage, however, please inform everyone in the topic who sends the final save).
2. The tournament starts on June 25th and lasts until July 30th (inclusive, until 24:00 Moscow time!). The results will be published on August 1, 2007. Only one final save is accepted from each player.
3. All standard rules applicable to the Blitz Tournament apply to this stage. The only exception is the Grail. You can dig it up in one day - otherwise, why would there be a Grail on a map limited to one game day? Nevertheless, the obelisk must be visited before digging up the Grail.
I wish everyone a pleasant vacation, and also add another Armageddon Blade to their collection! Good luck!

The tournament is over. You can see the results here.

Wow.... IT'S ON! :):).... Well, I'll participate... after all, there's so much time...
Time doesn't matter. No other tournaments are planned before August, so everyone who wants to participate will have plenty of time to play at their own pace. If you have any other reasonable suggestions, please share them.
*** 2 all I previously announced that all game restrictions would be lifted for the sixth stage. And that was indeed the plan. However, as practice has shown, to "patch up" the obvious loopholes that would inevitably appear in the plot in that case, it would require a significant reworking of the plot... Therefore, I abandoned the idea of allowing the use of all techniques - solely to avoid disrupting the delicate and carefully calculated game balance. I hope you understand.
AmberSoler, which version should I play? Because version 3.2 has few bugs:) And why so much time for the tournament?
There's enough time. Otherwise, I'll be leaving, but I can still come up with some option by July 30th. I don't like the visual glitches with magic in 3.2 - the mana points for magic are displayed incorrectly, and it doesn't show the remaining mana of the enemy hero.

Ley, why aren't you surprised that the others didn't save four griffons in the battle with the Archangels? :D

To dig for the Grail, do you need to visit an obelisk or not? Everyone knows that the Grail is in a specific location.
If you had read the rules of the blitz tournament correctly, and especially those of the sixth stage, you wouldn't have these questions.
Now, let's get down to business: To excavate the Grail, you must visit all the obelisks and save the game with the visited obelisks but without having excavated the Grail yet. This rule has not been changed.
In the sixth stage, it was allowed to dig for the Grail within one day. That is, before digging up the Grail, the hero can move around a bit… How this is done is described here.
If you had read the rules of the blitz tournament correctly, and specifically those for stage six, there would be no such questions.
Now to the point: To unearth the Grail, you need to visit all the obelisks and save a game with the visited obelisks but without having unearthed the Grail yet. This rule has not been canceled.
In stage six, it was allowed to dig up the Grail in one day. That is, before digging up the Grail, the hero can run around a bit... How this is done is written here.
Sincerely.
The only exception is the Grail. You can do anything with it - otherwise, what's the point of having the Grail on a map limited to one game day? And it says anything. So, it means that you can dig it up without visiting the obelisk. Please correct this. So Yaroogle carefully read the rules, and there is nothing to blame him for.

Hmm, yes, "whatever" is indeed a very vague concept.... I think we should wait for the author of these lines and hear what he meant.

Yes, I agree – the description isn't entirely accurate. Let me clarify: you can excavate the Grail in a single day, provided you've fully explored the map where it's located beforehand. To do this, you must visit the obelisk.
