16.04.2011 numOne (red, Castle, Edric, Edric/Clavius) def Piterius (blue, Barb, Zubin, Crag), 6lm10a, 126

Petya used his resets, I still had one left. I got dealt Castle with Edric, there was only one road, and the only pickups were some pikemen far away. I thought for a long time whether to use the reset or not. In the end, I didn't, and it was the right call.
I made it to the crossroads, there I spot 3 Naga Banks, 2 Hives, fought through the basement to a Tower computer player - killed it. There was a Griffin Conservatory - 2-4 and a maxed Dwarf Cottage. On day 117 I camped the Dwarf Cottage. Edric with Offense and Earth magic, horses at home in the Castle.
On day 121 the Dwarves fall, the Conservatory gives 2. Clavius breaks the Naga Banks. On day 122 - 2 Hives (12+4). Conflux is painted. Edric takes a chest for experience, a Cuirass, 1-shot the Naga Bank. Through a chain I take Necropolis, there are 2 Rings of Life. I build Angel dwellings - start bringing them in. Another 2 chests for experience and gold. A Cape of Speed +2 is obtained from Zealots, plus some other good stuff. Then Crag shows up with birds and G.Orcs. Troops are passed to Clavius, and he, with Expert Tactics, attacks Crag, followed by a surrender.

Thanks for the game!

I can’t find a time to play with Gur. Our schedules overlap by 2 hours a day, and that falls during my work hours, which I can’t plan in advance. Also, the weekends are one after another, and the next available dates are not until May 7-8, and even that’s not certain.

We managed to play a few rounds and reached level 123, but it was interrupted a couple of times due to my fault. I don’t want to continue like this; I feel bad about causing such disruptions for my opponent, and I have less and less time, so I’m passing Gur on.

Thank you for the tournament!

26.04.2011 numOne (blue, swamp, Bron, Gundula) def Goor (red, Inferno, Nimus, Fiona), 8mm6a, 135

The opponent built up an Inferno army, while I got the swamp with a bunch of external dwellings (5 lizards :), 1 hydra, 1 Vasily), but only one path into the corner basement. I spent the entire first week clearing the respawn - all external dwellings were taken, 2 mini dwarf dwellings, a mini nagash dwelling, Gundula with water and armor.
On the second week, I break the hive on 6, a mini council, exit through the basement to the reds, take the Tower village, and kill the loser. Gundula goes into the treasure zone, while the loser runs through another basement to scout. I break the prison, mini council, hive, and with expert wisdom they give the whole level 5!:smile03: I immediately charge toward the opponent, and at 135 I catch Fiona with a machine via double DD; however, without mana and without significant losses, I win.

Thanks for the game!

Dude, I have only one question for you: Why did you set so few units for yourself? In the final, set 15 right away, or even better, 20, so you can win for sure.

Yeah, and also, complete level 5 by defeating 50 simple Minotaurs.
Next time, set 100 Archons right away.

You must have made a mistake in the options of your program; that option was for Jebus.

Vik, I've played 150-200 games on 8mm6, and I've never seen anyone get 11 (ELEVEN) units on respawn.

Nor have I ever seen the entire 5th level in Pandora cleared with 50 simple minions; that's nonsense.
In my last game on Jebus, the entire 5th level in the chest in the center was guarded by 17 gray bears.
Of course, it's Jebus, but nevertheless, the concept of Value hasn't been canceled.

Vic, I've played 150-200 games on 8mm6, and I've never seen anyone get 11 (ELEVEN) creatures on their starting turn.

I was surprised myself, to be honest, but to be fair, the road junction more than compensated for this bonus – only in the middle of the second week was it possible to break through the single road to the village, which you had already painted, and the box could have been yours if you went down that path instead of turning back.
And besides, all that extra growth needs to be bought and collected from the creatures without losing momentum, which is quite problematic.

KobRa(red, Dungeon, Shakti) def Mizrael (blue, Conflux, Alkin) on 125 at 8MM6a

They gave out an external dwelling of minotaurs, built them in the Stronghold, quickly reached the opponent thanks to crooked roads, then Misha loses angels on 40 minotaurs and leaves the game. On 127, a Triple Dragon Utopia near the native Castle of the blue Conflux was broken without losses of angels (4 units) and minotaurs (19 units).
Thanks for the game!

KobRa (red, Dungeon, Shakti) def. Mizrael (blue, Flux, Alkin) on 125 at 8MM6a

It was :) The deadline was approaching, so I agreed to play after celebrating my birthday (another day off wouldn't have come up soon)... The result is obvious :D

If I don't do it, then no one will.
Cobra defense, yes.
I understand how far I am from the level of someone like Cobra, and I no longer have any illusions about my skill.
Thank you for the game.

Hello, esteemed participants and finalists! :smile02: Please excuse my long absence from the tournament – there were reasons for that. A huge thank you to Andrei (NumVan) for running the tournament and, of course, huge congratulations on making it to the final stage! I will be rooting for my clan member! :smile42: No less congratulations to Cobra and the participants who will be competing for 3rd place! It's time to announce the prizes! So... I will decide on the awards for avatars later, when I have some free time. But I guarantee that there will be awards. The regulations for the final stage stipulate games to 2 wins for all 3 prize places. May the final be beautiful and memorable!

within two weeks, the opponent does not respond in the forum and does not appear in the chat.

I've quit playing Heroes, I deleted everything a long time ago, so I won't be competing for 3rd place. P.S. Namvan, please don't take it personally, I was just being rude in the heat of the moment. It will remain a mystery whether the game allows for 11 hiding spots on the home base in an 8v6 match. Surely there must be a limit on the number of hiding spots allowed on a specific map template? It must have been a sign from above :)

04.06.2011 numOne (red, Barbarian, Zubin, Loins) def KobRa RR (blue, Barbarian, Dessa, Gunnar), 8xm12a, 132

It turned out to be a close game. Due to a scheduling mismatch, we agreed on 1 game.
At the respawn, there was a stable and boots behind the ghosts; I decided who to take into the heroes - settled on Loins. On 112, I defeat the neutral creature stack-dungeon, use teleports to take Conflux, inserted +1000 everywhere, the bears and ogres are being built at home in Castle, the Griffin Conservatory is scouted - level 2, a shield 3/3 is lying nearby, a necklace for morale/luck, I prepare to pick all of this up on 121.
Second week, I buy everything - artifacts are being collected, the Griffin Conservatory falls, Erdamon takes the beehive on 6. On 122, Loins, with the loss of ducks, wipes out 90 energy elementals - they give 30 exp :). The opponent's Gunnar appears in the scouted zone, a turn and a half away from the capital - I split up to replenish mana. The Griffin Conservatory was right there by the four-way crossroads - turned out to be 3-4 because KobRa didn't go for it - I get ready to cut it off before it's too late. On 123, I stand on the teleport, so the opponent can't reach the Griffin Conservatory, only through battle - and indeed - the blue player attacks. I have magic, the opponent has +3 to speed. The battle was mine: I lost an angel, birds, and dogs, the opponent bought back with 60 orcs. I immediately upgrade the creatures, clear the Griffin Conservatory, take the blue Barbarian town, and in a couple of turns, using a Fireball, I prevent Gunnar from buying back. GG!

Thanks for the game!
Hooray, victory!!!:smile03:

Confirmation of the game (report) from Cobra is required.

Bad luck in the finals, I keep getting 3+4 cons with a stack on the grass, congratulations to my opponent on a good game!
