[H3] Map of the Month

Let's have some fun

Lately I have been having more time for Heroes again - however, my skills have become a bit rusty after not playing for such a long time. A while ago, a few members here said they were interested in playing a single player "speed run" tournament of some maps. I also think this is a funny idea, and it would be a nice diversion from all the polls that seem to be the modern way of communication around here

So let's do it!

The rules:
- do whatever it takes to win the map in the least days possible (edit: without being marked Cheater of course)
- the only thing that is not allowed are bugs that are executed by leaving the current game session (e.g. a bug that requires you to visit the main menu - for example, key masters tent bug, nwczion bug)

How does it work?
- I will provide a save file that everyone who wants to join has to use, so that the playing field is even - to use the save file, place it in the /games folder within the installation directory.

What map are we playing?
Depending on interest, I would be up for playing harder, user created maps in the future. For now, however, I have selected a well known short map

Barbarian Breakout
Link to the save file: Click here
Alternative: here

Be careful not to hit the 'restart' button at the start, because you will stop using the provided save file doing that!

Who wins?

- The person with the least amount of days used wins
- If a tie, the person with the most points wins
- If still a tie, both win

How do I share my result?
- I honestly do not care. You can either make videos of you playing, make a screenshot of the end days, upload your saves, or just write a text message. I will not check the results, because I do not have that much free time even now. Definitely let me know the day however, so I can put up a leaderboard of sorts.

Until when can I submit my entry?
- For at least one month, or until enough people have submitted an end result.

With the provided save, I guess a time between 10-12 days will be relatively easy to obtain, maybe 9 days are possible?

For now, have fun!

Just noticed this. What about the rules?
Digging out the Grail without visiting Obelisks: allowed or not?
Reusing dismissed heroes (with 2k+ movement): allowed or not?
Some offline tournaments allowed those plays, some didn't.

Anyways, I'm organizing a hybrid online-offline tournament (sing-ups here: https://www.h3.gg/competitions/v2/47 until the end of November), so I'll tell people interested in that that this is a good exercise.
