One for all and all for one - 3

Group A
Maniacs vs 3 Spartans
game 2

Toughest start. Blocked on the left and blocked on the right. Good thing Gurni came and archers were built, which allowed me to deal with the blocks. In the fight with 30 earth elementals, the ballista broke, and the road ended on the very first day. But Gurni got logistics and earth magic. Scraped together enough for cavalry. With the cavalry I broke the block and on day 121 with 4 cavalry I burst into the secondary. There were some very tough guards there. On day 123 I break 100 earth elementals, level up earth magic. I attack 41 black knights with Hydra Hive guards guarding a spell book of earth and Dragon Fly Hive. I thought I would lose, since the army had only 4 grand cavaliers and 31 archers plus a screen of 15 pikemen and 11 air elementals. But with the loss of two cavalry I managed to win the fight, and as a reward Gurni got diplomacy. :smile44: . Gurni was very fast, logistics, boots of speed, stable. On day 131 I recruited 102 medusas and 19 nagas. With this lot I easily broke the Dragon Utopia and picked up the spell book of air. Then I bought air magic and immediately leveled it, which allowed me to move quickly. On day 136 the first final happened. Kira had 23 spell power, and I had the Cloak of Undead King. I made a mistake, forgetting that my air magic wasn't fully leveled, as a result I was hit by lightning for 1k, which hurt. I managed to win the fight, but the game continued. There was almost no army left, and new joiners were coming to me. A couple of days later another battle took place, but Kira bought herself out and flew into the treasure zone. I got tired of it, ran for the Shackles of War and overwhelmed him with a crushing advantage. Thanks for the game.

P.S.: Funny fact, Gem was wandering through the snow on the secondary, in two adjacent treasure chests I got 2 parts of the Well of Wishes (+2 and +3), and on the same day I found the third part at the opponent's respawn. The Well of Wishes really helps when you have 4x Dimension Door and only 120 mana.

But here it was the opposite, a good start. Kira by the end of the week had in her arsenal 200 gremlins under 50 air elementals and some meat, and went to build a Mage Guild.
On day 121, Griffin Conservatory easily, then the last move into the cyclops dwelling without a check, of course it was maximum with Hydra Hive:D it hurt a lot, but Mass Haste and bolt sorted it out. I went into the treasure zone, there in a box 10 Castle cavalry and 80 demons join. I see a Dragon Utopia and a Griffin Conservatory, I think it's lovely. The Griffin Conservatory is minimum, and the Dragon Utopia is maximum, I'm in a stupor, mana only for Haste, at home in the Mage Guild level 5 Implosion and Town Portal, my morale is -1, but I decided to take the risk, the key stacks messed up and in the Dragon Utopia there were also 3 gold dragons and 4 black dragons:mad: I bought myself out at home, went to recruit small fry for the Dragon Utopia and on day 132, barely managed to take it. The opponent has full control and decent meat, but nothing critical. I take over his main and secondary towns, so now I have meat. And the opponent in my treasure zone takes the most valuable stuff, the quest Necromancy Amulet (I wouldn't have beaten 10+ red dragons with 30 dwarves) (though I don't know, need to test it) and the Cloak of Undead King (((
Then I managed to recruit some decent joiners while the opponent was taking my towns, but I stupidly exposed myself due to a terrible lack of timer, I have -1 morale (the main morale artifact is lying in my backpack, and in the town I placed a hero above to guard against a potential loss and buyout) and it triggers twice in a row on the main stack of 19 giants:mad: plus the wizards immediately cast Mass Haste:mad: I saw a couple Dimension Doors, thought the opponent had Oilskin and Mass Haste, so I didn't cast anything, only gave him Oilskin after Shield. In short, we traded completely on day 137, I have 2 giants and 8 wyverns left, and there are 5 medusas and 24 griffins, I bought myself out, the opponent immediately does a buyout and controls the Dungeon with the Cartographer. After running around for a couple more days, I was overwhelmed.
Then after thinking about it, I realized the mistake, that I should have run immediately after the Haste from the wizards, stuck a bolt on the opponent and recruited as I wanted 20 devils and 9 titans for free in 2 days:mad:
Thanks for the game.

I'd also like to ask the AК, why trust a person with a tournament if they are not able to update the tables at least once a week:confused:
