Турнир "ФБ-6" -> Tournament "The Final Battle - 6"

8 09 2012 Chemist (blue, random, Conf, Ciele, Moner) def Javdet (red, swamp, Tiva, Dessa) mini-nostalgia, 126 SoD

All the rests were chosen. We started. Moner as second hero, second level built, 16 air elementals in the army. Immediately took a sword +2/2, a helm of knowledge +4, through a well located right next to the capital refilled mana, and Ciele as well.
Took Castle-town, there at the respawn it was completely empty, rushed to Rampart. There collected some resources from minor things, and the external market helped to get birds in the cit, but only 5 heroes.

On 121 Rylard at the barbarian-town stones with two birds takes a shield+4, Moner at Rampart spends the night at a single Griffin Conservatory.
122 buying out all birds and air elementals, and already a strong Moner 8/8 +1 angel enters the lava treasure zone, where behind a horde of grand pegasi in a pandora's box they give 25 grand eyes and a mace to attack +4.
123 immediately along the path behind a horde of diamond golems in a pandora's box they give level 5 spells, and Deis from Dungeon takes the Dungeon village. Ciele is a beast, level 5, 124 mana from the barbarian's source, at the stones kills the opponent's secondary hero with a mixed army and there also recovers boots from 100 spearmen.
124 Moner with 120 mana from the Dungeon jumps to the tavern of the capital and through a mini-naga bank and a stable heads to the barbarian library, having received the boots from Ciele for the night.
125 scouting since 111 showed the opponent's capital and his secondary hero Conf with an external dwelling of water elementals, so Moner jumped there from the library. On the grass: a +1 spell power upgrade, two Griffin Conservatories 3+2 angels and an overnight camp next to a guarded water elemental external dwelling along the path to the swamp.
126 Dessa level 5 with 1 wyvern, 20+ each of lizards and gnolls, with unrecruited 7 bulls and 6 basiliks, clearly did not expect such a turn of events. Capitulation follows.

2-1

Thanks for the game!

Dessa clearly did not expect it. Exhausted by poverty on bare respawns, she got greedy for the citadel at the barbarian. The returning opponent's hero almost sent her to the heavens. 3 basiliks and half a stack of gnolls died. It's worth noting that the start was in the best traditions of SoD - not a single lizard at the start. Found 3 Griffin Conservatories on the grass, but it's unclear what to take them with and for what money. I run as a secondary hero to the last opponent's town. Ran for about 4 days))))) When I got there, it turned out this opponent's town wasn't so bad either - on week 1 manticores))) The assault on the fort on 122 again cost half a stack of gnolls and two wyverns.
Nothing to be done - I send Dessa on a trip to upgrades.
From this trip she discovered that the Griffin Conservatories (and there were as many as 5 of them on the respawn!!!, and not a single low-level one) which she considered hers were being shamelessly looted on day 3. And she surrendered.

Congratulations on reaching the finals and I sincerely envy such intuition. With such a great feel you can move to a new level and boldly play Alex for money. We are not given such abilities:(

I envy the great move on level-up, when offered to advance wisdom or take basic tactics, wisdom was chosen. (by the way, today I watched 6 games - only in one of them was wisdom taken when it was offered together with learning. in the rest, wisdom was denied to the hero, even twice in a similar case when tactics was precisely what was offered)
I would have 100% taken tactics and the next day eaten an empty pandora's box with level 5...

I envy the map understanding. Having control on 123 - I would have run to the opponent through the central treasure zone (where, by the way, a speed cloak lay nicely), and not along the outskirts through the opponent's secondary hero. And I wouldn't have found 3 Griffin Conservatories uneaten by the opponent.

I envy the ability to play unconventionally. In the case of Dimension Door into the darkness - I would have definitely jumped onto the road towards the town, and not away from it, risking ending up in a dead end and wasting mana on fly. Unconventional moves, it turns out, uncover Griffin Conservatories))

I envy the drunken style of Valesca in the 2nd game, who clearly tipsy on a fake wandered for almost the entire 2nd week, several times stopping by for a drink with the little green guys and collecting resources, apparently thinking she was a secondary hero. Seeing a Griffin Conservatory she fled from it like from the cops and headed into the twilight. And what do you know - after 2 days of wandering through the twilight she stumbles upon a patch of wyverns, and the only ones on this map.

Anyway, I sincerely envy and once again congratulate you on advancing! Good luck in the finals, brother!
