Satellite tournament #1 for CIS-2016 in St. Petersburg.

Forgive me, esteemed judges and, in particular, Num. But I just reviewed the save files (which I practically never do, as those who play with me know). But the conversation went in such a direction that it became really interesting.

You have nothing to apologize for; the game was decided by the judges, and nothing prevents you from examining and analyzing the save files.

In general, I got the impression that only about 2 minutes were spent studying the save file. Because, during my turn, I pick up another maxed-out Hive along the way (Viv becomes 70+), and I simply rush towards the teleport to reclaim my capital, where I had previously built a level 4 building. There, in the library, is the Dragon Shrine. At the same time, the save file clearly shows that a leveled-up (and still leveling up) Pyrrh is running around near the "unkillable" Grechka at the time of the save, with experience points.

I personally analyzed the save file; it certainly wasn't just 2 minutes, but I didn't spend hours on it either, I confess. In fact, I can say that it's easy to play with an open map; naturally, I saw the library with the Dragon Shrine and Pyrrh with Wisdom, and it's obvious why she's being leveled up. With an open map, it's very easy to come up with a winning plan, immediately rush to the desired city, build a Guildhall there (although it's logical that you should build the Guildhall in the tower), and simultaneously defend it by gathering resources. However, in a real game, I can't say how much time you would have spent clearing the treasure, because it's hard to say what you would have done if you hadn't gotten the Dragon Shrine in the tower, spending a lot of resources, which were at zero at the time of the save. It's hard to say what the opponent would have done in that time, how many boxes he would have looted, whether he would have found a box with all the treasures and obtained a teleport (or even dug up the Moon), which would give him a significant advantage. It's possible that after a few days, you would be left without cities and units, completely unprepared for battles, running around at level 1. Of course, you will eventually implement your plan and get the Dragon Shrine for Pyrrh. But even in this case, certain difficulties will arise, because it is difficult to move an army through a unit with the Dragon Shrine, and the hero separately without a teleport. There is a risk of losing someone during the maneuvers. I was guided by these considerations when making my decision.

Well, even before Dark's description, the situation seemed doubtful to me, and even more so after it.

Dark's words should be taken with at least a coefficient of 0.5; he's such a sweet talker :D :D :D

Anyone can make a mistake.

Yes! That's exactly why the Arbitration Committee exists. For the sake of objectivity in the decision, I will not participate in the analysis of the situation, as I am one of the parties involved in the controversial situation. If the Arbitration Committee's decision differs from the judges' decision, I am ready to apologize to Konstantin, with whom I hope we will meet in St. Petersburg regardless of the outcome.
