Just bring back the Angel Wings...

Regarding the time limit – adding 300 seconds, in my opinion, makes it less of a blitz and more of a rapid game. You could slow it down and think it over. The very first standard for chess clocks was with a 300-second increment, and then, as people aged and their skills grew, the time limit also increased.

I think something like 600+200 would be a true blitz.

I think that the Angel Wings are a slightly overpowered artifact, as they allow you to fly without spending mana. However, the wings will probably be brought back.
You can argue about the time limit for a long time. I myself have been waiting for a long time for someone to create such a tournament. I decided on 600+300:)

Against the limit +200. Wings don't matter, having them is okay, but not having them is even better.

5 minutes/turn - is that really a blitz? A few years ago, 4 minutes was the standard in the seasonal league. 2-3 minutes would be enough for such a tournament.

As far as I understand, there are no pauses during battles :) so 5 minutes per turn is short :) but I'll manage.

Sorry, I'm out, I have things to do...

I apologize, I'm out.

Draw

The teams that take 1st and 2nd place in their group advance to the semi-finals (the winner of group A plays against the player who took 2nd place in group B, and the winner of group B plays against the player who took 2nd place in group A)
Then, the final. Let the battle begin!

30.09.2010 Captain (red, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) def Alessandro (blue, Barbarian, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) 136 Panic

Lizard lair and castle with cows and hydras on turn 1.
Then attack the opponent.
Thanks for the game!

30.09.2010 Captain(red,Swamp,Wystan,Wystan) def Alessandro(blue,Barbarian,Tyraxor,Tyraxor) 136 Panic

External dwelling of lizards and Castle with cows and hydras on week 1.
Then to the opponent.
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed. On week 1, Bears in the Castle. In the final battle, 3 Angels from the Griffin Conservatory and Mass Slow decided the outcome in Wystan's favor.
Thanks for the game

Furious(red, necro, Galtran) def CJIOHuK(blue, Castle, Valka) 123 mini-nostalgia

I'll start by saying that time was very tight, because of which I had to use auto-battle sometimes during the first few days (skeletons just melted away)

In the first 3 days, I killed two AI players and headed for the third; I didn't make it, he attacked with unicorns (and there were barely any skeletons left because of the auto-battle), so I had to retreat
Placed 1-5 in the Castle
On day 121, swapped all fairies and imps for skeletons and, along with liches, took out the AI's horses without losses
Day 122: checked the confluence, upgraded vampires, and I'm preparing to take it and go straight into the treasure zones
Spotted 2 Dragon Utopias, 2 confluences, and 2 hives, and scouted all 4 territories

But the plans were not meant to be
The opponent lost their horses at confluence two, a pity

P.S. I wish it were 800+300, otherwise on the first day you're fighting through everything and just can't keep up, especially with skeletons; total nightmare in general

Lost the early game – no need to complain :). Necropolis is very weak at this stage. Fighting with skeletons is still decent, but it gets worse later when you're using vampires.

I'll say right off that time was very tight; because of this, I had to use auto-battle sometimes during the first few days (skeletons just melted away)

How do I contact him?It's a shame that the swamp was impassable; in the end, there were even fewer resources :) and I ended up cut off from it and couldn't get through :) there was absolutely no way to reach it, so in the end, no hippos or horses in the Castle :(

Lost the match – shouldn't complain :). Necropolis is very weak with such a limit. Fighting with skeletons is still okay, but it gets worse later when you fight with vampires.

Well, I played it the old-fashioned way)) Necropolis is stronger for me than Castle. And I was surprised when the opponent chose Castle (especially on Mini-Nostalgia, where you choose the computer and it's all about skeletons).
So, with 121 and 3 extra castles and their hidden units, you can get almost 200 extra skeletons)).
But yes, it's difficult with such a limit.
And regarding vampires – I wouldn't level up another hero, but with vampires, liches, skeletons, and angels, the battles would be short.

Wic (blue, Castle, Kristian, Shakty) def Captain (red, Rampart, Ivor, Gynnar) @ Jebus, 142

I wrote a long, beautiful report, and then accidentally pressed Esc and everything disappeared. What kind of crap is built into the forum engine? :confused: :mad:

I don't want to type it all again. Basically, both players had a poor start, and in the beginning of the 2nd week, both suffered losses (not to zero, but significantly), which is why the main events were shifted to the 3rd week.

I ate more units and came to my opponent's respawn point; in the final, I had an advantage in power, stats, and magic.

Thanks for the game!

No – it's better to type the text in some editor and then copy/paste it.
