The Hero Tournament
Is now open, so those of you wanting some free challenge tourney action, this may interest you. Like speeddeamon, there is a time window to play and win as many hero games as you can.
Speed Deamon is in round 2, check to see if you are in it; and Clans, Warlords continue as usual. Call to Power players get your games in soon!

dont forget to disable prisons too
this rule:'It is not necessary to take an opponents' castle to win; whomever loses their hero first, loses the match, whether it be to the opponent, or to random monsters.'
..is worthless and blury..can cause only misunderstandings.
i think we can tell if one has won game or not

What is considered a Hero loss??
Retreating?
Dying in battle but being revived at town?
Surrendering?
The only way I see a hero dying is if he dies in battle, and his army is destroyed by enemy. In other words, a Hero is dead if he is captured in ememie's Prison. This is how I would draw the line. Capture=Loss.

its so blurry I need glasses!
yes, basically you lose if:
your hero is captured and is sent to prison
your hero dies on the map (the little flag on the ground)

What's there to prevent me from picking him up and resurrecting him in a town ? Do i have to save every turn and go thruogh all 20+ saves at the end to make sure that didnt happen? Just that with enough troops a loss of a hero would be undetectable in the thieves guild. With army ability to move w/o a hero in hmm4 this old hmm3 rule just doesn't make sense any more .

I believe that the only way to lose the game is if your hero is captured and put into enemy's prison. In the unlikely case that the hero dies as a result of fight with neutral creatures, then this does not mean loss of game.

too much analysis too little play
yes but usually if your hero is dead somewhere on the land, it usually means a tough stack killed it. Either you wont be able to pick him back up, or you will have to waste time to get him back. But whatever, the point of the tourney is that its one hero only, the one you start with.

no it's not, but to be on the safe side, and not let that happen, keep hero hidden in castle until the game finishes

What about the necro town ???
If u disable the tavern in town u can't make vamps !!!
So i think the no GM rule should not apply in this tournament. I think the only rule is no rules

too much analysis, very little reading
Where does it say in rules taverns in town must be disabled? Taverns on map are edited out only.
As for being 'left for dead' on world map, yes, sometimes you can retrieve them, and I would not consider that illegal. But usually it becomes such a great setback for the player that spending time trying to retrieve, its better to concede at that point and not waste the opponents' time.

It does say "the map is edited where taverns are disabled in towns, and no taverns are available on the world map. " in a tourney description .
But doesn't say it in the rules section
