Saves of the Common Tourney in Heroes Lands 4 have been sent to their owners a week ago, and do not include any pre-paid artifacts.
We're eager to share some good news with you! As you could have already noticed, the advertisement banners on our Portal's pages are almost static. ;-) And that means we have a new advertiser. So please show some respect (and maybe pay a little visit ;-) ) to their site.
Another good news for all mapmakers: maps from our portal will be published on the CD for a polish magazine «Komputer Swiat GRY Extra». The whole issue will be dedicated to Heroes of Might and Magic V, which will be put on sales on May 19 this year.
Today we've improved the system of SMS-payment for artifact usage in our offline tourneys. The managers of the tourneys have fully reconsidered the list and changed prices for some artifacts, as well as added some new artifacts. Now, if you wish to have the artifacts with an SMS-price included in your starting save, you can also pay via this method if you are a subscriber of RTS or Tele2. We can also receive your payments through Western Union,WebMoney and ÑONTACT. Starting with the next round of main tourneys, it will be OBLIGATORY to pay for the artifacts which have an SMS-price. The list of these artifacts won't be reconsidered anymore, so be sure to pay in time if you want to see all of your artifacts in the starting save. We await for your transfers! A special account will be opened for your nickname, and you'll be able to manage it by sending letters to Gorbik@heroesportal.net .
The SMS payment system has been tested succesfully, and we've already started to receive your payments. Here you can see a file containing the list of your payments (we will NOT publish such reports later).
Today we have a new member in our team! Lady Lion Star has joined us. She’ll be the manager of the tourneys «Wild Lands 2» and «Citadel of Heroes2».

You can see the rules of these tourneys at their corresponding pages:
Wild Lands 2, Wild Lands 3, Wild Lands 4. The main feature of this tourney is that it is being held on a unified map, consisting of XL-sized maps. Such map exists only for Wild Lands 3 yet, and is still under construction, but you can see the completed part here. Wait until the map is downloaded completely. Right now, the Knights of the Round Table are voting to decide whether we should include this tourney into the list of the tourneys which take part in the annual rating of Heroes Portal players.
