=Lizard=
Auto-translated
And so ends the most interesting series of Lizard-FTS. In a grueling struggle, I managed to snatch victory. But let's take it one step at a time.
Series 1:
=Lizard= (red, Cove, Jeremy, Jeremy) lose FireToSky (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 127, JC
I got a compact respawn with 2 boxes for sailors and Derek in prison. I came out on 121 with 130+ gr. sailors, 2 angels, and my own sustain with oil via some wanderers. In the center, I immediately picked up wings and, in my excitement, entered a stupid fight against nearly 100 monarchs for +4all and a bunch of junk. I lost the angels and all sustain, as well as all mana. A bit later Valya appeared with archangels and higher stats; it became truly depressing. Three golds from a box gave some hope, but I lost them in some Dragon Utopia where they gave me nothing. I paid off twice; I could have run around more with wings, but only until the moment Ivan got control through 100500 opportunities available to him.
=Lizard= (blue, Conflux, Monere, Monere) def FireToSky (red, Tower, Aine, Solmyre) 127, JC
Perhaps my strongest game in the tournament. I came out on 121 via off-road, collecting the respawn as efficiently as possible. And I beautifully tore through the center, clicking like a seasoned Starcrafter. I crushed Solmyre with 15 titans in his capital. My army was no worse (47 cyclops, 10 angels, 17 vivs), and combat stats were 30-31 against 10-12 (and KS, obviously).
=Lizard= (red, Necro, Isra, Isra) lose FireToSky (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Cassiopea) 124, JC
I came out on 123 with decent stats, 40+ vivs, and oil. It turned out that Ivan 116 had broken through the ГО, and had already torn up the center long ago.
#1-2
Series 2:
=Lizard= (blue, Fortress, Drakon, Jeremy) def FireToSky (red, Tower, Aine, Shackti) 125, JC
The stupidest game. I skipped Jeremy for 1.5 turns via the timer, thanks to which I came out perfectly on time and crushed Shakter in the central castle with a better army and GB.
=Lizard= (red, Tower, Solmyre, Jabarcas) lose FireToSky (blue, Citadel, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) 132, JC
The respawn was great; Jaba immediately caught log and earth. I collected 20+ vivs and upgraded them in the village. Home is 1-5 in castle with an external dwelling for nags. 2 exits to the center. I broke through a simpler (scorpicores) 122. It turned out that my part of the center consisted of a short road to the opponent's respawn. I found a mini-workshop, KS, and a box for 10 champions on it. I fought my way to the opponent and ran to another exit to the center (red dragons with GS). There I take 2 Dragon Utopias and bump into the ГО of the adjacent area again... There are basically no roads to the central cities; I don't remember such madness being generated. Meanwhile, Vanya gathered a ton of army and stats along the roads and tore through without any problems.
=Lizard= (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def FireToSky (red, Cove, Derek, Derek) 131, JC
Ivan surprised me again with his choice of starter. I got a gorgeous hand. Hives, Griffin Conservatory-2, zephyrs, Air K on land, 3 external dwellings for dragons (took 2). I planned to come out on 123 after stables, collecting everything, but the ГО sultans and the opponent nearby... I stayed one day longer to max earth and get 2 more hives. On 124 I break in, steal the crucial wings, and drive away Tazar who was standing next to them. 127 is the first finale; there's a КЗ that kills any stack. I use oil and chain lightning myself. I pay off with 2 angels and 19 vivs, leaving 8 gr. nixs, 3 monarchs, and 3 cyclops there. By the way, my stats were 14-17-10-14 against 28-20-20-(100+). I buy back, take the central swamp, upgrade my vivs; on his turn Ivan attacks again. He throws an impl to the stack of my monarchs; I'm left with 1+1 angels and 1+1+1+1 monarchs. I throw chain lightning, cutting down cyclops and 2 monarchs. One of my monarchs triggers morale, thanks to which the angel kills Ivan's remaining monarch. In total, only a stack of nixs remains there. Blind+Citadel did their job.
