Derbent
Auto-translated
On d111 I took the scouting post and lit the dendroid guard for 20-49 dendroids. Among the objects were 2 crypts and 1 grave. I took Kyrre, the 2 crypts gave Earth Magic level 2. On d112 I took the grave with Grail Grands and Boots of Speed for spirits. Earth Magic was experted immediately. I built the guild and found oil. On d115 I split off to the main area, ran through a well and attacked the dendroids. There were 48 of them with 14 Grands; I was just barely short of arrows, I sacrificed a couple of pegasi. Since I spent all my mana, I turned back to the well and the next day I replenished mana with the dendroid guard. I took a Pandora's Box for 55 Grail Bulls, 15k gold. That's quite good for d116. On d117 I end up in front of the Polar Bears. On d121 I bring up growth, kill 14 Polar Bears, take a Pandora's Box for 15k experience and a Zephyr's Shawl. On the way I was lucky to find another well and a scouting post. D122 Griffin Conservatory maxed out without losses and a Black Market; I buy the Haste Gauntlets there. D123 I kill the AI with Castle, build a stable, run at 4300 mobility. I split off to the main area and run to the treasure zone. D124 I took the Scarlet Tower, scouted further, found another scouting post, and saw the Book of Earth behind Mantises. At that moment my opponent places the Grail in the Tower, runs out, and kills my scout hero. D126 I'm boosted to 4500 movement points, cut off almost the entire army at the Mustering Ground, buys them off, I reach the Tower with the Grail, the opponent surrenders.
I mixed up my colors, can it be changed somehow.
Regarding the first round, is there still time or am I late, the report button wasn't working...
a few games were played before that moment with Horror, very interesting games came out, so I suggested he sign up for this tournament, offering to play the qualifier. By that time my report button also wasn't working, i.e., it wasn't there at all.
regarding this specific game, I played poorly on tempo, around d113 I scouted the headband of 5 5th-level spells behind a horde of Gnoll Nix. To be honest, I had nothing to take it early, I took 3-4 Zephyr's Shawls, no Dragon Fly Hive or Griffin Conservatory, I captured the AI Castle at the start of month 2, all the money was going into building Angels and searching for the Grail. When I took the Grail, I immediately captured the Tower and was planning to make Titans. Glancing towards my opponent, I notice a free KZ and 4 or 5 utopias, and there too a scout hero with strength. I attack the scout hero thinking he can't buy off, in the tavern by gold I'm 1st (with 12k), then a couple of AIs, then the opponent, but he has enough to buy off. I thought about Kyrre's movement points, but I didn't suspect Geppetto's Boots :smile50: he reached both the hero and the castle, total failure. gg
p.s. at the discretion of the tournament judge, I'd like this player to ultimately take part in the tournament.
