[HoMM3 on-line Tournaments] "Favorites to Battle"

Report

vitalic (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Alamar) def Dudge (blue, Necropolis, Galthran) 143

In the early days, I took two crypts with 5 Vampires each, an external dwelling of Wood, revealed an external dwelling of Pegasi and Dwarves, decided to play. I broke through the shooter blockers, captured a secondary Conflux, at home Unicorns with a Castle, funds almost at zero, in the secondary only a Marketplace. On day 122, I returned, took a Medusa Horde with 40 Medusas and a Dwarf Cottage with 100 Dwarves, things got a bit easier. I broke a prison for up to 19 Unicorns. Freed level 10 Alamar. Then Kyrre took a Conflux dwelling for 2 Angels, on day 127 I cleared an external Dragon dwelling and built them. On week three, I climbed into the Barbarian Treasury, but in vain—I could have taken a Dragon Utopia. In the secondary Inferno, I only built economy buildings, when on the same day Galthran arrives. He runs across half the map. I urgently try to return home, he takes my Dragon Utopia and goes to Inferno to replenish mana; I decide to distract him, go down, and when he happily runs to my capital, I Town Portal home and attack.

Alamar with 9 Green Dragons, 8 Unicorns, 37 Silver Pegasi, 2 Angels, 45 Grand Elves, 32 Dendroid Soldiers

Galthran with 50 Vampire Lords, 600 Skeleton Warriors, 100 Skeletons, 6 Death Knights, 20 Liches and 50 Ghost Witches.

Alamar has mana for only 2 Implosions; I immediately imploded the Vampires, all the bone stacks sped up and forward, with Wait I attack the Skeleton Warrior stack, with Dendroids (12 Dendroids left after retaliation), then with Dragons (with morale) and Pegasi.

Thanks for the game

gm. I said that I won the champ, because the rules are what they are, but if you win the game, you can record the game in the ranking as your victory. More precisely, I said I'll think about it some more, but most likely the champ is my victory because I believe my previous victory was taken away unfairly.:smile04: I can post the ICQ log in the evening because I'm at work now :smile25:

Then tell me how you disconnected from the game on your turn and didn't make saves, and to continue we sent you my saves for 45 minutes—let's come clean about everything. Honestly, I'm tired of your antics. In the previous game, on one of your turns you moved for 20 minutes and disconnected; the save on your turn shows you took the Medusa Horde. Then we continue, you don't have an end-of-turn save, and you re-take your turn, and the Medusa Horde remains untaken for the rest of the game?????
I hope the tournaments never pair us as opponents again (I regret not holding back and pouring all this out on the forum, but one has to be human...)
