Reports and summaries of the “Art of Strategy - 2” TOURNAMENT.

moz (blue, dwarves, Helmar) draw noom (red, humans, Rutger) 4th week, I think. Sun

We played a month ago. Rutger's hero was attacking my adjacent town; the turn was very long, and we couldn't load the game. Noom offered a draw. Judges, please advise if we can play to a draw, or if we need to do something about this game?

It happened. Rutger was pushing the dwarves back home; it seemed like a buyout from the dwarves and further skirmishes with equal chances, in my opinion.

Noom (red, mages, Ora) lost to Stefan (blue, elves, Talanar), 131, Rainbow.

We played a map with a horse shrine. From the start, Narhiz and Nura were present, and Ora was in the dungeon. Ora immediately got machines and decided to play chaos-light-machines-spells-artifacts. The towns were almost without banks; one snowy town had little money. Eventually, I found a market and scraped together enough for titans. On turn 126, it turned out that I got into a bug (feature) of the game: when building a forge and visiting the town with a hero, the town's upgrade level is lost, and I was left without a castle (at the same time, the cats couldn't afford it). At the GM2, they gave regeneration at home, but I played sloppily and didn't support his main hero on turn 131 - with regeneration and cold, I might have somehow broken through the gates. As it was, the gremlins heroically died from the druids, and game over. Thanks for the game.
