The event was absolutely grand!
Huge respect to Tvarina for the organization, a bunch of interesting matches, the cook was simply beyond belief, and even without Heroes we spent our time with interest (without even leaving the venue). It was very interesting to meet everyone and discover what great people they are, and the most interesting were Gunnar and Kirill Samoylenko, they were truly the highlight of the tournament!
Special thanks to Piterius for the opportunity to wear such stylish hoodies and t-shirts, at least they look great in the photos :)
Also, a special thanks to Captain, who gave our Moscow-Izhevsk group a small tour of Kyiv, and for the exciting coin toss in the last game 8D
So, here it is:
JustObserver (red, Castle, Caitlin, Charna) coin toss Captain (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) 131 2sm4d(3)
In the first week, I picked up tons of money, 3x necromancers, an external dwelling for pixies and archers, and built horses in the Castle, but without upgrading the shooters. I see an external dwelling of Angels for 50-99 gr. eyes, I'm scared to go for it, waiting for the capture of the Hive and a prison for 50+ golems.
Behind the golems is Sandro level 10 with advanced archery, a Hive of 6, Charna with Earth and Air (Haste and Slow included). On day 124, I take the external dwelling (praise be to morale! - duck - horse) and move towards the Griffin Conservatory on the snow, two days away. The Griffin Conservatory of 4 takes the rest of the horses, swordsmen, and 130 skeletons (a hundred remain), Charna levels up Mass Slow and runs to the library.
Day 127 - I see the opponent's scout hero in front of the GO (50-99 gr. Liches), but I don't believe it, and I go to the library across the snow anyway. Ivor breaks through the GO and the scout hero is a couple of moves short of reaching the Castle.
Day 131 - I break into the Castle with mana for one cast (Mass Shield or Mass Haste), buy the Angel from the external dwelling, and go into battle.
Charna (low, low, 9, 6) main stacks - 130 skeletons, 6 Angels, ~50 Marksmen
vs
Alamar (15, 0, low, low) main stacks - ~40 Champions, 6 Angels
With Expert Tactics, I approach as close as possible, and think for a long time about whether to cast Mass Haste or Mass Slow, in the end I get scared that they will cast Mass Slow in return for my Haste and everything will go to hell, so I cast my Slow. The other side casts Haste on the Angels, the horses and ducks run in to trade with the Champions, the Marksmen go on -Morale, I start trading Angels. 15 Attack is no joke after all, so my Angels ultimately lose; the opponent still has 2 left, while I only have skeletons, halberdiers, and griffins, and I didn't think to convert money for a buyback, so I retreat, convert everything from 3 marketplaces, fully buy back in the Castle, and accept the counterattack.
A delivery of 2 horses and Champions, and Alamar attacks the Castle. Griffins, swordsmen, and halberdiers tank, resulting in Alamar's retreat; I have 4 horses left.
In this situation, a determined decision was made to go for a walk around Kyiv; the game was submitted for adjudication, but the organizer and spectators couldn't identify a clear favorite on the map, so luck smiled on me with the coin toss. Thanks again for the interesting game and for the excellent tour!
