We played without rests, I think. Shakti came in with three stacks; on 111 I break through the guards of 2 Dragon Fly Hives and a Griffin Conservatory, checked the double, ramp up to 6 heroes. A rest was called for, there's an unpleasant block for 20 gold by Liches, which blocks the road from Castle to the crossroads; not only is the guard unbreakable, but even to break through it you'd have to go around anyway; a prison blocked the road, but Shakti has Logs and 150 Troglodytes, decided not to rest, check another day. On 112 I killed the Dragon Fly Hives; there was almost no growth, because the second hero in the tavern had 12 Gnolls, which were eaten back on 111; in short, I went into the Conservatory with 115 Troglodytes and 10 Ducks. Came out with 8 Ducks and 40 Troglodytes, but there are 2 Angels. Scouted an overview, there's another Dragon Fly Hive, a Shield +5 and a Chalice, again didn't take a rest. On 113 I killed 98 Magogs, took the Shield and Tyraxor for the Dragon Fly Hive, and Shakti for the Chalice, and scouted a Cats' niche and another couple of Dragon Fly Hives, still didn't rest, even though I understood that the drop wasn't bad since there was no rest; well, okay. 48 Archmages with +6 all ate almost all the growth, but then EVERYTHING that the Miner came across dropped. On 117 Cats at the Citadel and a Portal; the Miner in the secondary refills mana. Then on 121 a Stable and to ГО 15 gold; I reached it by 123. There I immediately caught all level 4 magic, Wings, Boots of Speed, Cape — everything needed, basically. On 125 the opponent arrived; stat-wise he was worse, but in terms of meat there was an advantage; a stack of Skeletons and Ducks with Haste could have made the wind. So I took a risk in the central Castle, destroyed the Angel stack and a few Skeletons, and a buyout; there were Shackles — I would have lost. Well, then I refilled mana and caught Galtran again, now there was a buyout; I cut down almost the entire army, and was left with 20 Ducks myself. But by 131 I quickly corrected the situation with Cats and upgraded the Ducks in my secondary, grabbed a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, caught Pandoras with 12+12 Efreet in the center; well, after that it was a matter of technique. On 136 I killed Gosha in the Castle.
A decent game except for the ending; I kill Gosha and in the chat I get a message of this sort, like I broke the rule two turns earlier ON 135 by first visiting a level 3 shrine and only then killing the guard, thereby saving turns; well, in short, there was a deliberation with some judges while we both took turn 135, and my opponent offers me a draw and a replay; I almost froze. And all this after we today loaded save 133 to continue playing; I gave him auto — I don't know why in a tournament, but I gave it. I almost believed this story myself when we load the auto, and that object isn't even visited there. Okay, I write "thanks for the game" and go watch the saves; when I log into the chat, there's another long monologue — like, there's another violation, and he himself refutes it; like, reviewed everything, it's fine — never wrote "thanks for the game."
This is the kind of game ethics you sometimes encounter....
I would have used Air Scouting on 117. I would have come out on 122 with the ramp; but as it was, Gosha ran back and forth and I came out on 125. Well, with a 3-day handicap in the treasure zone, it was hard to do anything. Though Shakles or a Crown of the Supreme King would have decided the game.
Well, you didn't have to give auto — I would have surrendered (auto didn't decide anything at all and you risked nothing by giving it to me), but rules are rules. I asked AK about the shrine... Well, I don't know — to see that I missed where ГО was in a very tempo-driven game, and to understand that you're giving away the game by a hair — If there had been a Stable, I would have grabbed a game-deciding Dragon Utopia; if there had been Shakles or a Crown of the Supreme King, same thing... Thanks for the game.
