Posts from Summer-Autumn-Winter Tournament for fans of Heroes 4.

I will be available starting this Friday.

On weekdays – in the evenings or even at night (Moscow time, from 18:00).
On weekends – at any time (of course, after prior arrangement).

2 LeSHiJ-MaX, let's agree on Friday evening or night, or on Saturday

I'm working today, so I definitely can't play with Drakkosha!! But I'll try tomorrow)). But I'm not promising anything... I'll contact her tomorrow and let you know for sure.
Drakkosha, please wait for me :)

I think I'll post here too, even though I've already warned the organizers)))
I can be available at the end of this week (on Sunday), and then from 11 (12) AM to 12 (midnight):)
this is in August))) although probably only on weekends (not counting these)
P.S. Why make plans when you can agree via ICQ, why else did you post the numbers? Just a request to those who will be contacting me and are not yet logged in, please indicate that you are from the tournament, because there is a lot of spam these days...

I suggest Friday! Let's start at 21:00 and play until late!

Well, the tournament has begun!!
Today (or rather, yesterday) we played a game against Drakkosha.
We played on "Vortex of War"
We chose a map with a calm development, "Heart Of Winter", with guards on the gates and the portal. We played for 3 months, 1 week, and 7 days.
I, Lu41k, played as Nature, and Drakkosha played as Chaos. My starting hero was Oris (Druid). I bought Ivora (Ranger) as her companion. Oris eventually reached level 18 as an Archmage. Nature 5, Herbalism 5, Meditation 5, Summoning 3, Order 2, Life 2, and Warfare 5, without any additional skills.
Ivora - General, level 19. Warfare Grandmaster, Archery Grandmaster, Magic Resistance Grandmaster, only Melee Combat 1. Tactics 3, Attack 2, Defense 3, Leadership 2, Scouting 2, Pathfinding 1, and I also gave him Life Magic 1, without any additional skills.
Drakkosha's starting hero was Jedite - Fire Mage, level 15 (Warfare 4, no additional skills, Nature + Herbalism 1 each, Life + Healing 1 each, Chaos 4 + Sorcery 4 + Spellcaster 3 + Pyromancy 3). She bought Aidan - level 13 (Tactics 3 + Defense 3 + Attack 3 + Leadership 1, Warfare 3, no additional skills, Scouting 3 + Pathfinding + Stealth 1, Nobility 1 + Treasury 1, Death 1, no additional skills).
After clearing my territory, capturing all 3 cities and the gold mine, I gathered an army and went to clear the portal from the Green player's Chaos army, which was blocking the passage to the portal for Drakkosha from two sides.
After clearing the portal, I entered her territory, immediately captured her Chaos city, but there was no main hero there, only a small army. Nearby, I noticed a City of Life, but it was completely empty. Then I went to look for her 3rd city, which I found quite quickly and not far away, but there was also only a small army. In the meantime, I sent out a scouting party of rogues and bought a hero to capture the mines and the City of Life. I made a turn, and then Drakkosha attacked me.
I had 18 Phoenixes, 5 Manticores, 52 Unicorns, 45 Tigers, and 355 Sprites.
Drakkosha had 5 Black Dragons, 239 Rogues, 65 Medusas, 222 Orcs, and 37 Nightmares... I immediately attacked. First, the Phoenixes attacked the Nightmares and Black Dragons (1 Black Dragon was killed), then all the others. The Black Dragons went after my heroes, but they held out. However, the Nightmares flanked my Manticores, and 4 Manticores fell from my own Phoenixes:smile05: But the Nightmares were also defeated... And with a combined effort, my army defeated the remaining units and heroes...
That's basically it. I captured the remaining cities, and the game was over..
Thank you, Drakkosha, for the interesting and enjoyable game!! And thank you for finding the time for me - we played all day and until midnight. I hope she will also be lucky in this tournament)):smile01: :smile02:
Here is my report!! Now we are looking forward to other games and reports with anticipation!!Forward, Heroes and Heroines!! Victory and an unforgettable adventure in the World of Sword and Magic await you!:smile23: :smile02: Summer Tournament has begun!:smile13::smile03:

Yes, I was completely outplayed, but I'm not upset at all! :) First, what else could you expect from a newbie in online games? Second, I really enjoyed playing with Lu41k! :) Lu41k, thank you so much for the interesting and educational game! :smile54: I learned a lot of useful things and hope to play better next time! And I wish you good luck and thank you again for everything! :smile43: :smile01: :smile02:

There is a chance that Budda may not show up, and then your game against him will be forfeited in your favor (but he still has time).

No, why not? Budda hasn't confirmed his participation, which means he hasn't technically lost. It just turns out that shadowmen is just as much a free radical as Machete.

Yesterday, 08/18/07, a game was started on the map "Quiet World" between:
LeSHiJ-MaX, blue color - Chaos and
Starhan, red color - Life
The map turned out to be complex and difficult to navigate (but interesting for me).
The map has 3 Castles, one of which is random. Starhan got an Order Castle. I was lucky, all my Castles turned out to be Chaos)).
Thanks to the Thieves, I was able to explore the territories faster and more thoroughly, and I already had "stolen" artifacts and resources at the beginning of the game, although not very powerful, which allowed me to build up faster and get my first Creature dwellings. After that, it was just a matter of technique. Many bottles of speed potions, with one Creature dwelling in the army for speed (+9 steps each turn), allowed me to quickly clear my territory and move to neutral territory. We finished the game around 2:00 AM and decided to continue it the next day. After looking at the situation and each other's progress in the morning, we decided to end this game in favor of LeSHiJ-MaX.
Thank you, Starhan, for the game. :smile20:
Sincerely, LeSHiJ-MaX.

No, why not? Buddha didn't confirm his participation, so he didn't technically lose. It just turns out that shadowmen is just as free a radical as Machete.

I was hoping that one of them would show up. Sometimes there are just valid reasons, and the confirmation period was short. Now we'll adjust the table, and the players without a pair will have a battle among themselves. It's a pity for the time spent waiting for the players.

P.S. The week is ending, please let me know by Tuesday, and if you have any suggestions, please share them.

2 Drakkoshka

heh...

Bum is sharing lessons :)

2 LeSHiJ-MaX, what are the next games, and who will be playing against whom?

(I will only play on small maps

until I get switched to an unlimited data plan next month.)

Today, the game between Zybr and
Shadowmen ended. It lasted 4 months and 7 days.
I played as Order. Shadowmen played as Death.
The map was "Heart of Winter". The version was "Winds of War".
I developed one main hero, a mage (in the end, Kubar - level 17, Illusionist - level 5, with Order magic skills: Charm level 3, Life level 1, Tactics level 2, Defense and Attack level 3, Leadership level 1, Warfare level 2, Melee Combat level 1, Magic Resistance level 2, and Nobility level 1).
And one scout-lord (in the end, Fafner - level 14, Guildmaster - level 5 Nobility, level 4 Treasurer and Miner, level 3 Scouting, level 2 Pathfinder and Stealth, level 1 Chaos and Nature magic).
The opponent's heroes were: 1 rogue, level 7 (Archilus - level 2 Tactics, level 2 Attack, level 3 Death magic, and level 1 Warfare), 1 assassin, level 5 (Pashkovich - level 2 Death magic, level 1 Warfare, and level 1 Magic Resistance), and one dead rogue, level 7, near a mine.
The game was prolonged due to army losses on both sides. Early in the game, I made an unsuccessful assault on a Castle, and my main hero was captured. Shadowmen had problems clearing the map. Thanks to level 4 Nobility (level 5 appeared only at the end, after the main hero was released), I quickly rebuilt my army, built dragon-golems, and retrieved my main hero. Within a month, I collected artifacts on the map and went on the offensive. The scout quickly scouted the territory, took an unguarded Chaos Castle belonging to Shadowmen for my caravan, and moved towards his main Stronghold. In the battle, on my side, there were 39 djinn, 20 dragon-golems, and the main hero; on his side, there were 4 bone dragons, 24 vampires, 46 cerberi, 164 skeletons, 256 imps, a level 7 hero, and a level 5 hero.
I slowed down some of the opponent's troops (vampires and bone dragons). I cast "Song of Peace" on one of the level 7 heroes. With the most numerous unit of djinn, I defeated the hero (level 7), and as the last spell, I cast "Joy" on my hero. Then, with the support of djinn and the hero, the dragon-golems carefully destroyed the opponent's army. That's all.
Thanks again to Shadowmen for the game!

It's a shame I can't participate in the tournament! :(
I see that, like in the previous tournament, there's one person missing. I may not be a strong player, but I always support good ideas! It's a pity that I couldn't participate this time either!:smile39:

BASON, You know that a player's strength comes with the number of games they've played, plus some other factors (but experience playing against someone online is the most important). Knowing and playing with you in the last tournament, I can say that you play well (I've just played a lot more games than you). That's why I really wanted you to participate, but reality is reality, and since it's our LIFE, we have to take it into account:smile23:.
P.S. With respect, your friend, LeSHiJ-MaX.:smile43:
