So, gentlemen, while I'm a bit out of it and haven't slept all night after a hefty bus tour, I'll write down here what I remember, in brief :p Naturally, I was very glad to see all the guys, and also to meet new ones (including the "pushniki"). The atmosphere was top-notch as always, and now onto my pope-like games :rolleyes:
Before the tournament, I had already chosen three playable templates for myself: Jebus Cross, Anarchy, and Diamond.
First game: opponent Vanya aka FireToSky, had no idea what his current level was, plus playing on such a timer. We ended up scratching to Jebus Cross, and he takes the red color. On the black screen, I was thinking of getting either a blue Necro or Castle, ended up with Castle. Vanya took one restart, I used all of mine, and off we went. On the respawn on the first day, I revealed three external dwellings of angels :rolleyes: two of them behind tough guards, the third turned out to be behind a Lottaose of Grands - we started from that one. On day 112, I pulled Crag Hack level 5 with Expert Ballistics from a prison :cool: On day 6, I got Earth magic, then took a Griffin Conservatory single, a Street of Champions behind golems, and the first external dwelling. Then, with three angels, I wrecked 12 group Horned Demons for the second one, and 10 group Necro Horses for the third. On day 117, I had a slightly unfortunate fight in a double Griffin Conservatory, losing one winged one. I also had a plan to position Crag Hack at the spawn point not on day 117 before the Dimension Door, but seeing Kirr at the same spot, plans changed, because the Dimension Doors were adjacent and there was a high chance Crag Hack would simply be sniped - I went to the second Dimension Door, obviously leading to another respawn. I fought through the bears, and one angel was cut down by morale. Then, without a Fat Lip, I didn't dare attack a hundred Wizards without Tactics, deciding instead to take a Dragon Utopia and upgrade the Archangels. Eventually, in the triple Dragon Utopia, I got the Captain's Hat, Boots of Levitation :cool: :cool: , and a useless Air Spellbook. Meanwhile, two more external dwellings of angels appeared on the respawn :rolleyes: In short, the plan was to scout with 12 Archangels what Kirr had spawned in the center, since no stats were showing, but then news of a surrender came... That's the game, I guess.

Second game: played with comrade Artyom aka Valenok. Not much to describe, as a pope-like postponement happened during the process :D And the next morning, the opponent couldn't continue the match for "unknown" reasons :D :D Suits us perfectly :rolleyes:

Third game: now this one had sweat and blood. Played with Mishanya aka Amiloo (lord of the staircases). Scratched as I wanted, took the blue Necro for myself. Played without restarts, I got two hometowns, one of them Charna with max stacks of rags, and an experience stone next to the main. On the second day, the main got Earth, I got Luna. Meanwhile, Hell was playing next to me, and that pest kept nagging me :smile25: and kept blabbing and blabbing, and blabbing and blabbing :smile28: In the end, he got trolled himself, but that's another story. Let's continue. In the adjacent areas, I found a Dimension Door and a prison behind 97 Minotaurs, a Pandora's Box 5 All behind Masters, a Chest of Stakes, and a few Hives. The opponent had Giants showing from day 113 :( On the first day, I visited the Dungeon, and on 121 I took a Griffin Conservatory single :cool: I also saw Archangels in the opponent's tavern :rolleyes: Well, ok then, but on day 124 they were gone, and the strongest unit became a group Gargoyle :D Then I did a bit of Necromancy and went to the Inferno computer for Efreet for Luna, who, after three tries, claimed the Dimension Door from the Minotaurs (though the pops criticized me, but whatever...). I built the Efreet, upgraded them on 131, burned the Masters, handed them to the main, who, with Skeletons and Birds, took a stack of three with a Colossus Crown and stats. Then the maximum dropped, and I grabbed Bracers of Defense behind Dragons. On 134, I think there was a plan to grab two more Griffin Conservatories and a Dimension Door to a Dragon Utopia, but an enemy Pire with a stack of Angels and Monarchs runs in, stats roughly equal. In the first round, I kill the dirty single Monarchs and Serpent Flies with a Death Wave, in response, Implosion flies in. Then we exchanged Implosions, leaving 28 Monarchs, I had 15 Birds and Skeletons. The Pire stayed in place, which was the most magnificent gift for me. On the next turn, I grabbed a Griffin Conservatory with Luna and could have just cut straight with Arcomage, but there was no way to check for the Orb, so I had to kill boringly with the main... I attack - Implosion on the Monarchs, surrender attempt - gg.

Fourth game: my most disgusting game in the tournament, starting from the scratch. Played against Alexey aka Falcone (just a "pushnik"). In general, I woke up in the morning (14:00) not in the best state :confused: :D and after losing a coin toss, for some reason decided to play Jebus Cross with a pair of towns: Dungeon-Necro. Why I did this, I still don't understand, I could have calmly played something like Citadel Rampart, for example. In short, we used all the restarts, and I got dealt complete garbage. One external dwelling of Cats on the respawn and two Hives (4+12). I planned to emerge on day 122, but brain melt and monkey hands only allowed me to emerge on day 123, and then I get hit by a standard Galthran with 30 Birds, 5 Angels, and 14 group Necro Horses, while I had 15 Cats and 15 Birds, plus a hundred Troglodytes. In short, it's annoying and frustrating that I lost and only won on a tiebreaker :(
But a win is a win (okaaaaay).
I want to say a huge thank you to the organizers of this event for all their efforts, including the help in winning the tournament :D :D I'll say it again, I was very glad to be in such a great company again. :smile14::smile12: :smile44:
That's how it is, we'll definitely meet again. Pity I couldn't stream, by the way.
