Thus, the semifinal Napalm - Antal on the 8MM template begins now.
Napalm red Flux (-3000) - Antal blue Swamp Tazik (+3000), 8MM
I'll scribble a report from what I remember: Napalm was blue Castle on Jebus Cross, having paid 6k I think (I honestly don't understand how you can give Castle on Jebus Cross). But anyway, his layout was crooked; the road led down to a bugged passage into a neutral respawn; at the respawn there was one level-2 Griffin Conservatory and hives with 12 griffins. An external dwelling of angels, horses, poks, and swordmen. In the first one, angels were in the citadel with an angel external dwelling (the guard was broken by 92 mummies - arrows ran out, 52 poks fell and 60+ skeletons, who were diligently produced by Necromancers). In the external dwelling itself, it was lucky that morale didn't drop for the angels, otherwise gg. The ГО in general was a freebie: hordes of grey champs and sluggish ifrits behind them. Money wasn't great, 2 empty Pandoras at the respawn; Alkin was chosen as the folder, who found logu and earth with tactics, then he got lucky that Pet was given, since the exit to the center by no means led via an easy path to the opu. Visually Napalm was located at the top northwest, the ГО exit was at the top east, and all the territory below was a desert, which was cut diagonally almost across the whole map by a mountain range, between which there were 4 or 5 Dragon Utopia, but you could only reach them by going around the entire map; of the available nearest ones, there was only one Dragon Utopia. Nevertheless, despite coming out only at 124, Napalm managed to eat as many as 4 (stables and logu with boots also helped), received 4 sets of Alliance hats, 2 or 3 Alliance swords, etc. No hint of control or a useful book (air was already leveled + earth). By scouting the land, he spotted that the opa came out to the central castle which was Castle, at 136 (yes yes at 136, such numbers hurt the eyes). Napalm attacked some unknown loser in a castle without towers; there were 4 groups of 1 griffin, 3 monks, 3 swordmen and IMP. In Napalm's army there were 8 archangels, 37 zealots (Pandoras helped), 30+ bows, 17 ducks and small fry. He had a red orb in his stash, which he seemingly wanted to equip, but I said it's better to split the archangels into 3 stacks, just in case someone manages to nick one, we can resurrect)) Although it seemed that we could just wipe them out in one round anyway. True, I forgot that Napalm doesn't even have an arrow from combat magic in his book)) And completely forgot that besides light and all sorts of crap, the losers might have more powerful spells. In general, after Napalm made his moves, 1 IMP remained who cast Armageddon for +500, and in Napalm's army only 1+1 archangel with scraps remained)))) I thought it would be gg, but Napalm is a good lad, he continued, built angels at 137, bought one and went with him to take another external dwelling + Dragon Utopia where they gave another set. At his 141, the opponent pushed back their castle with 20 archangels where a gift of 3 angels awaited them (by the way, he had none at all). And Napalm attacked again and bought his way home to study higher magic and gather the army again, though before that attacking a lot of neutral archangels, forgetting this time to remove the orb :smile52: But 36 defense and smart actions helped him get by with 2 griffins and 6 swordmen. I didn't watch further, Horn and I left, but we were mentally rooting for Napalm and he actually won! After such a performance, he is obliged to carry the tournament!!!
