HW vs HB

For several days, I couldn't access our website, and I had no communication with the Captain. As a result, a lot has accumulated... First, I want to dispel all doubts and speculations regarding the "strange draw" in my third game against Samurai. In the early fourth week, the opponent violated the rules (upgraded a Fairy in the Conflux). When I pointed this out, he immediately replied that it was a technical error. I thought it was too harsh for such a minor infraction. I rarely encounter rule violations and don't know what to do in such cases. I suggested postponing the game so I could consult with the captain of my team. Samurai insisted on it being a technical error. I wanted to finish the interesting game. We reached a compromise – we assessed the rule violation as half a point. These negotiations significantly disrupted my focus and consumed a lot of my game time (we communicated during my turn – the clock was ticking). A series of clumsy technical errors followed. The lack of experience playing on TE-lite also had an effect. And in the end – a fatal and utterly idiotic mistake – I forgot to equip the artifact necessary for FF (I remembered by pressing the pass turn button), with which I would have most likely won. The fact is, I lost, but I don't feel like I lost the game. Therefore, we agreed on a draw. Respect to the opponent for his will to win. I apologize to the team for not bringing us a full point. Second, the captain of the heroes.by team made an offer to continue the match. Roland from Gilead: Anyone who wishes, whether a participant in the match or a fan of their team (Bai, Portal, World), can participate in the continuation of the match! Each game will be counted as 0.5 points. A small restriction: team members are not allowed to play against players who are not members of the teams. But they can fight against other members of the teams and further help their team. Almost immediately, I received an offer to play from AlexTheGreat. I didn't refuse, on the condition that I wait for a decision from my captain. The game turned out to be very dynamic and exciting. I am posting the report and saves here – Interportal game, not counted in the tournament. Pit - In sake of LM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Galtran) def AlexTheGreat (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 135, 2sm4d(3). Perhaps my most successful game ever. Archers are not built, but from the start 27, roads are average. On turn 112, I upgrade the archers and break through the prison behind the group of harpies – and there is Galtran (how could it be without him in an interportal game!) level 5 with expert necromancy and defense and half a hundred skeletons. I lead him along the only road – the second is blocked by diamond golems guarding the cloak of speed, and in the GO, there are angels right away. The skeletons gather very quickly, immediately providing logistics, then earth magic, there is a scroll of slowing on the path, the archer tower is painted, on turn 114 I take the secondary Castle. On turn 115 – the arena, I stand in the conservatory with two units. I think for a long time whether to attack or not, but I still don't decide, I turn to the monster lair, after which I return to the griffins. On turn 121, 2 monsters and 200 skeletons easily take out two angels, I break into the capital. 122 – I take the cloak of speed and with mass slowing, I easily take the conservatory with three units. 123 – the necklace of speed. Then I go to the Inferno, where I gather skeletons, take a couple of cyclops. There is nothing for money, but I manage to upgrade shooting to expert, on turn 125 I break into the capital and stand near the GO, having previously defeated Valeska there – there are a little more than 20 angels, but there is a group of skeletons. I buy almost everything and attack, the archers hit the spearmen, so the losses are only all the spearmen and 40 skeletons due to morale. I sit in the swamp capital. On turn 131, I take Tazar's native secondary town, I realize that I cannot catch him in the swamps and return to the long-exposed utopia. On turn 133, I defeat it (2 CH), they give wings, the book of air, a shield +3 +3 and a ring of life. You couldn't ask for better! I return to the swamp, fly to the bubble of life and then to the opponent's Rampart, where Tazar was wandering. On turn 135, DD allows me to reach the city, I buy a scout there, I see Tazar on a fly, I buy another one, I give 3 angels and +3 speed and attack. The tactic allows you to escape, but there are no prospects. Thank you for the game. Third, regarding my upcoming games with HP. The captain of the HP team made a substitution, and I was offered to play with Gynnar. I was unable to get approval or disapproval from Nagan. I could not refuse the tempting offer to play against a player of such a high level as Sir Gynnar. Today, at 10-00, we started our first game of the interportal tournament. At 13-30, I found a message on the HB website from Nagan-4, stating that he does not agree with this substitution in the HP team. The game smoothly turned into a regular game, the report of which, by mutual agreement, we place in the reports of seasonal games on both websites. Fans of analyzing saves can download them from us. I am waiting for the captains of the teams to decide who will be my opponent.
