The Heroes Round Table

Please send me a screenshot of the time completed not the hall of fame entry.

No, the red links were my mistake, I made the table in word and those were the ones which triggered the automatic spell checker . I'll send you their names when I get time though .

Thankyou to all the participants who pointed out errors and omissions in the score table, the above table has been corrected. I will do a full update of this page with the new rules, overall score and new map tonight when I get some time.

Yeah, email multiple but please keep it to a max of 3. Given the volume of entries, I won't be too strict on that rule tho

There is a small underground on the map, it's part of the scripted story. I have put an update on the front page about the score, i'll update here soon.

<a href=https://www.celestialheavens.com/684><img src=https://www.celestialheavens.com/admin/psychobabble/spmpc_sm.jpg align=right></a>Well, we've had some teething problems with the scoring of this contest because the Heroes 5 "scoring" system isn't as sophisticated as I'd hoped. I have d...

But how are the scores compared when the difficulty is different? Like I said, I'm working on it. And is the only decisive thing the time needed to get the finish screen, no matter secondary quests and so on? Yes, unfortunately. The scoring system is no where near as sophisticated as H4 was so we h...

@JJ I think this is a great map for a contest like this as it allows for learning/replaying to get a better score. Nothing wrong with that. Also, with the portals all you need to do is select on the map where you want to go and the game automatically calculates the quickest portal route to get there...

Stupid simplistic H5 scoring system. I might do what you suggest with the save game, the problem is (a) how do I know people play from the save game, (b) I can't have multiple difficulty level save games or else we have the same problem and (c) what difficult level should I pick? Some people would j...

I'm sorry, I don't know enough about the H5 score system. In H4 your difficult was factored into your final score as a multiplier. Doesn't it do the same here? If not, I will have to work out some sort of manual multiplier figure.

Post download maps in \heroes of might and magic V\maps



To get a screenshot hit print screen. That saves it in \heroes of might and magic V\screenshots

And the moral of the story is, if you want your maps to be the latest version and have proper attribution, get them from Celestial Heavens

Well, you can't say you weren't warned, the time to do battle has come! Are you as skilled and as quick a single player gamer as you reckon you are, or is there some crazy dude out there who can complete a single player the map in 1/3 the time you can? I thought it fitting to start the contest with ...

More relaxed pace is fine by me. I might make it 2 weeks for the small/medium maps, 3 weeks for large maps and 4 weeks for the XL map.

Btw, no map suggestions from anyone?

err, yeah, h5. I'll edit and make that clear

I'm please to announce that the Round Table Battles are returning as of this week! For those that don't remember, this was a successful single player map playing competition we ran back in the Round Table Mark I days. The format of the competition is going to be like this, this time (all of this wil...

Nothing wrong with re-starting.

One possible hang up, I have noticed the times I have used a cheat, the map score did not seem to be affected (not sure about that) where as in H-IV, you use a cheat and your score was 0. :( I'll probably still run it, but this is a bit of an annoyance. More info in the next week or so, thx for com...
