Posts from Club championship of the CIS countries (final).

I'm rooting for Pete, Lesha, and Stinger! And Preds, don't let us down either!!))))
;) =))

Sessions are interrupted, or no one watches, and they shut them down because there are no viewers?

I, for example, switch between streams.
And your game is super interesting, IMHO.

P.S. That was a great trick just now!

Let's not discuss exploits here.
The Stinger stream was interrupted – please fix it.

Perhaps it won't be included to save time.

I'm starting to post the promised photos.

Who's who in the photos +100500, let's see more photos!!!!!! :smile20: :smile14:

Who is who in the photos?

If you hover the cursor over each photo, you will see a caption.

You didn't have to sign Cobra ;) :D

He basically identified himself.

You didn't need to label the cobra ;) :D

He basically identified himself :)

This isn't just a caption; it's an explanation for the caption of the previous photo, "Who is it":) Like, front view, back view :D.

Stinger is unbelievably awesome!!! Huge respect to him for such a great game!!!

I decided to write at least one report instead of my predecessors, who didn't have time for it. Now they're threatening to not count their wins if they don't write reports :D. For now, the most interesting game was between Neo and Stinger on Jebus. I'll tell you about it because Sam and I literally ran from one computer to another yesterday to watch the entire course of this epic game (we didn't really want to watch the others, because they were playing standard, maze-like maps, which weren't interesting to us...). At first, it seemed like everything was in Neo's favor (due to the many hiding spots and resources), but it turned out to be more complicated, and by the end of the first week, it became clear that Stinger was doing better: he had gathered about 25 ducks and was already dominating with that stack. He entered the center on day 123, or 122, while Neo was building up on his starting area, but he was in for a rude awakening: out of 6 creatures, 5 were minimal-level!:eek: :smile48:. And Stinger had complete control of the center by the end of the week, although not without some disappointments: 4 fairy dragons, guarding 2 fake treasure boxes, destroyed half of the hydras... Neo entered on day 125; in principle, the richness of his starting area justified it, and there were very unpleasant blocks waiting for him on the second weak town, so he might as well not have entered:D. On the third day, the number of gray bears approached 15+, and the rest, including 9 angels, but Artem started to play defensively, and it all ended with a simple catch during a rush, instead of a battle of titans, unfortunately:(. What was interesting for me was seeing the capture of the bear's hiding spot on day 112 with the loss of 2 single units, using only wolves and goblins – speed is key;).

Current results of the 2nd round:

Round 1

Medium (blue, conf, Moner) def Napalm (red, dungeon, Shakti), WT, 8mm6a, 134

The opponent was dealt 10 angels, I got about three tens of vivs; in terms of one-on-one combat it turned out to be roughly equal, but Monya managed to gear up thanks to logistics, took Dragon Utopia 1+5 and the Golden Bow, attacked the Miner and won with a significant advantage in stats.
Thanks for the game.

Round 2

Medium (red, swamp, Tazar) def Lyokha (blue, Castle, Valeska, Ciel), TE-light, 8mm6a, 215

A very tight start regarding one-on-one combat — no caches, no cons or hives at home or in neighboring zones, 2 Dragon Utopia were spotted. Built up 1-6 in the Castle, on the third I took Dragon Utopia 3+2 with cows and serious losses, another Dragon Utopia trio on 141; control was not granted anywhere, stats grew a bit, but armies were very small; further it was decided by the presence of 2 built castles and a couple of home villages. Out of 4 trees I gathered only 18 vivs, but the offspring were significant, took another trio with an earth book on the fifth, that' same time Ciel appeared; tactics + first move + mass haste allowed me to avoid serious problems in the finale.
Thanks for the game.

For those interested, here's a short video showing how beautiful everything looks in the club: (100 MB) Edited: They say the archive is corrupted :( I've started uploading it to RapidShare... but it will take another hour to finish uploading :( And I have a tournament in 40 minutes. Merlin is quite the comedian; the video shows his toys, which he uses to intimidate his opponents. He also had another funny moment: he was playing against Mee. He renamed his castle to "Merlin's House" and one of his heroes to "Mee's Wife." And he said, "Now, Mee's Wife is entering Merlin's House. I wonder what she'll do there all night?"

Wow! Stinger won the match against Preds :smile07:. I was watching the stream, thought Artem was going to lose, got upset, and turned it off, but I shouldn't have! He pulled it off! :smile20: I hope Preds will upload the saves from this interesting match.

P.S. Merlin is awesome :D

P.S. P.S. How many turns were there in total?
