11.01.2012 Group B : gnoll (red Tower Nila Nila) def twaryna (blue Necropolis Clavius Clavius) 2SM4d(3) 116
There were 4 restarts. Three times the opponent took 111, and once I had a technical due to the level 5 starting hero.
In the final deal, the draw was worse than in the previous ones, but seeing a simple path to a secondary town, I decided to play for a couple of days - to see what was what. Thankfully I could still restart on 113. As a result, I took the Necro secondary on 114 and essentially didn't even fight for the rest of the time. Just ran around with heroes - collecting chests and resources. Overall, everything was going steadily. I had plans, but the opponent conceded.

Thanks for the game and good luck in the tournament.
I confirm. The first 2 deals in the underground with inconvenient blocks. The 3rd deal from above - everything is fine, but the opponent had a level 5 hero, so tech restart. Then another lousy deal in the underground. And when I had used all restarts, the deal was excellent. From above, 2 external skeleton dwellings, dragons, and in the very corner also a Mausoleum + Pandora's Box, albeit with very tough guards. + a Griffin Conservatory + a couple of Crypts, a Dwarf Cottage, etc. A great respawn, in short. Slowly I started clearing everything with Clavius, losing a fair number of skeletons due to inexperience. By the end of the week I had about 100 skeletons.. on day 6 I fought my way to the secondary on the surface and there were 2 Griffin Conservatories right next to each other, one of them a level 1. An incredibly favorable layout. Before the start of the game, I gave myself my word not to rush in headlong and to go slowly, but more or less confidently. But I lost my composure and rushed into the Conservatory. Due to inexperience, not assessing my strength properly, I lost. In principle, I could have tried to buy back, finish off the 6 Griffins, and go in with the Angel, but my morale dropped and I decided not to continue. After that, I loaded from that point and played the same layout against the computer (as if I hadn't rushed into the Conservatory), purely for practice, and by the beginning of the second week I easily took both Conservatories, defeated a couple of Imp swarms, took the secondary, Galtran also showed up in the tavern - with him I cleared the respawn, took the external dragon dwelling, and the Conservatory at the end of week 2. I had gathered 400+ skeletons and 6 Angels. In general, it was playable... But everything comes with experience :) Thanks for the game!
