Kyiv qualifier GO!!!

So, I'll share my impressions as well. I really liked the tournament. I saw my idol Forrest in real life, from whose posts I collected information bit by bit and learned to play -))) and I met other great players and just good people!

Lost the first game to Javdet

Javdet (red, Castle, Valeska) - Lider1 (blue, Fortress, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 143

The generator was ironically joking with me. Rома got from the start 4 marksmen, no more rests, I got 2 external dwellings of lizardmen and a strong start. Seemed like go and kill. Considering that in the tavern I see about 14 Griffins and 7 Knights and a handful of cents (I don't remember exactly by eye, unfortunately without screenshots). His secondary was revealed by Rampart only from the scout's view, but there's no passage. The map was generated buggily. As a result, I thought that the only meeting with the opponent would be through the Monster Town. (It turned out later that you could go through the left flank in such a nook that I never would have thought of, near the metro and my respawn border). I didn't bother spending time checking this idea, as there was no wood and I was rushing to the secondary to develop.

I messed up with the moves, built a Citadel, and then found some more gold and decided to build Hydras, exchanging all resources on the market in the secondary. That cost me 3 days of tempo. I was hovering around the Dwarf Cottage at 20k but was afraid to take it. I took the Dwarf Cottage, then the Conservatory 3, where I lost everything except 2 Hydras and a handful of Lizardmen (I generally thought it would be a loss). Well, then with 3 Angels it became much more fun! I entered the treasure zone, killed a group of Nagas for 15k experience, then took a tree for 6 Wyverns. Scouts bring amazing news from the adjacent treasure zone, Conservatory, Wings, and 2 trees I think. I break back home, buy a spell book for Expert Earth and Slow in a scroll. Not bad. Found Boots of Haste in a grave!! attacked a crowd of Scorpicores (almost Horde) for the Wings. I've never seen such morale and ability procs. Every turn was morale and paralysis. But I didn't kill anyone except singles, because Tazar is Tazar. So I took a couple more trees, ending up with 17 Wyverns. There was a Sword of Justice behind a horde of upgraded Efreets and some kind of hat, I didn't go in of course, because I'm very afraid of them. Oh yeah, I also took a Conservatory in the treasure zone at the end for 4 Angels.

Well, then I ran to the Monster Town, wanted to take the Castle on 137, but was dumb and got stuck on the way. On 136, 4+3 Angels right near the Monster Town. I didn't capture the Cloak of Resistance at my own respawn behind a crowd of Monks (being dumb with magic again). Well, and Gunnar came and hit with Implosion, which surprised me a lot, as I thought the opponent's tempo was very bad and he was unlikely to take a Dragon Utopia. I bought myself out (15k gold from Pandora gave).

I scurried back and forth and surrendered.

Second game vs Sem56.

Lider1 (castle, Valeska) def Sem56 (Ramp, Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 117

Start with 33 archers, there is an external dwelling but behind a crowd of Pit Lords. 2 Conservatories, gold lying around normally, only trouble is the Monster Town via roadless terrain.

Рома says, are we playing with rest on meeting or not? Well, I don't know what he has there. I relied on fortune, 50/50 I say no. I came to the respawn, and there was no one there of his, he forfeited. A kind of win. Walkover.

Third game

Lider1 (Fortress, Tazar) def Kreg Xek (Tower, Nella) 2sm4d(3) 143 I think so

In general, again the irony of the generator. but with good humor ). They could have easily shot me on the second. Exiting the castle below is a block from a crowd of grand elves for an external dwelling of Wyverns and a Cape of Speed +2. and a fork into 2 roads, one cell to the left and I could have passed, but it's blocked. Up is the native secondary, but behind a crowd of Medusas. At the Barbarian secondary is a group of Sharpshooters. A start of nothing, 15 Gnolls I think. Wanted to surrender. Then I decided to break through the Medusas, but thought I'd lose, so I decided that if they don't come right away, I'd have chances. And to fight the Medusas on 121. Wyverns in fort without Wasp. Taz level 3, shame.

On 121 I buy what I can, 4 Wyverns, I upgrade Dragonflies, they killed 10 of them(

I go further, there's another external dwelling of Wyverns!!! Well, that's more fun!!

At the end in the secondary there are Wyverns, at home the Citadel. I cleared a tree behind a crowd of grand Djinns. Lost a Wyvern but nothing else to take with. Was dumb. Took the Dwarf Cottage and Medusa Cottage. On 131 a tree, then into the treasure zone, cleared 2 beehives. Then went home, took Conservatory 1, cleared an external dwelling of Wyverns with a cape. On the fourth I took a Dragon Utopia 2, Air book and Blue Hat. I was just thinking of breaking back and going to the opponent when he came out himself, where I successfully finished him off. Though I had to worry. I upgraded Wyverns (54 of them I think). Then a Ring of Speed +1. I also took... brought the army, but didn't leave money for buying them out. Idiot. Traded 15 wood and ore, got 2600, nothing more was left. Attacked, and he had KS 16, I thought they'd blast me with Implosion and I'd be shocked, but from magic there was only Arrow and Magic Arrow.

Respect to Navuh and Sema, as organizers, everything went great.

Had a good laugh at Beshi of course. You had to see it. How he was insisting to the sysadmin that he's an idiot etc. :D :D :D and many other things :D.

Respect and congratulations to Aldegir :).

Peace to all (c) =)
