Round 2. First game.
Dubrovin Pavel (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def. Lobster (blue, Castle, Waleska, Waleska), 2sm4d(3), 211.
Both players took a restart.
Among creatures, he built Unicorns with a Stronghold in the first turn.
In the second turn, he built Green Dragons.
In the third turn, he built a Castle and a capital.
Among artifacts, he found a shield +3 to defense and attack; another +3 to defense; a ring of diplomacy; a sword +2 to defense and attack; and a charm of negativity (immunity to Light Bolt...).
Near his main Castle, in 1/3 of the turn, there was the first elven stash, which he took on the 2nd turn, defeating 20-49 Gray Lizards.
In 1 with 1/3 of the turn, there was a teleport, which he entered only on the 4th week.
And before that, on 1.1.6, he took the first secondary Castle (Tower), and on 1.2.4, he took the second secondary Castle (Fortress). In the secondary Castles, he didn't build anything except for 1000 gold.
On the 3rd week, he scouted and marked 2 elven stashes.
He didn't take any more native stashes, although there was another unicorn stash on the map, but it was well-guarded: 50-99 Gray Water Elementals.
On 1.4.5, he stepped into the teleport with his entire army (he didn't have enough money for Dendroids and Centaurs) and took the opponent's secondary Castle (Stronghold) without a fight.
He settled his hero in it, and sent 2 scouts along the path for reconnaissance.
The opponent's scouts didn't let my scouts do anything in the next turn, killing both of them.
On 1.4.6, my hero went along the path, and on 1.4.7, he took the opponent's main Castle without a fight and waited for his hero to arrive. All the opponent's creatures had already been built and bought.
On 2.1.1, the heroes met.
Opponent's hero: 18, 18, 9, 11 (45)
My hero: 12, 17, 1, 4 (40).
Since I had about 100 Noble Elves, 4 Green Dragons, 12 Great Unicorns, about 30 Pegasuses, about 70 Great Gnomes, plus 2 Angels and 4 Champions from the opponent's Castle population, the Elves decided everything.
The opponent retreated and surrendered.
Thank you for the game!

I would like to inform the tournament organizer, Pagan, about the theft of my old account, which is listed in the tournament table, and that I have created a new one (421-057-869).

Round 2, first game
Amster(blue, Castle, Valya) def pagan (red, Stronghold, Craig Hack) 1-4-2 2sm4d
I don't remember the details well, there were 2 horse caches and 1 archer cache taken on the 1st week, angels on the 2nd; in the end, I arrived at the opponent's place on the 4th week with 24 horses, 150 shooters, and the rest of the Castle fodder, with stats around 15-15-8-8
I was met by 7 runners, 30 birds, and the rest of the Barbarian fodder; due to the advantage in stats and numbers, I won the battle with almost no losses.
Thanks for the game, Pagan.

Round 2, second game
Amster(red, Rampart, Ivor) def pagan(blue, Necropolis, Gosha) 2-4-? 2sm4d
The game turned out great: several battles of the main heroes, minor skirmishes with scouts, constant stealing of castles, but let's get into the details. I started with 16 Elvisses and 30 kents; on day 111, using a scout, I take a kent cache, and with my main hero, I position myself at the passage to the secondary site near the +2+2 sword. On day 113, I take the sword and 2 crypts give me Logistics, so we play ) On day 114, I capture the secondary site (Inferno in the swamp) with a scout, and with Ivor, I head to the next one. Then on day 116, I take 2 more crypts, and on day 117, a secondary site; Ivor just fits in and reaches lvl 7 in the home town; horses from the Stronghold appeared in the secondary sites 1000. Then on day 121, I take a max medusa-den and go to the treasury, where I spend about 3-4 days; among the interesting finds, I took a hive for 12 wyverns, a couple of upgrades, and major artifacts +5 defense and 5 strength. After that, I run back to the secondary respawn, take a Pandora's box for 5000 exp and a tree for 6 wyverns. On day 131, I position myself near the second treasury but see that the guard is already broken, meaning Gosha is already operating there. I buy up the growth and calmly run there, take the library, a pendant +3/+3, max medusa-den. Here, Gosha runs out from the underground to the secondary respawn with all the might of skeletons and vamps and breaks the chain; calculating that I won't have time to run and defend, I descend underground and take his Necropolis while he takes mine, but I managed to lead away the remaining strength in the form of dwarves, pegasi, and kents. Then I buy up his liches and zombies and stand at the GO with 70 gr. unicorns and 80 regular efreets (only advanced slow), oh well. On the next turn, Gosha takes the utopia at my respawn ((. Then, calculating, I use a scout to take back my castle from the seen strength and attack Gosha, who was boosted by 3 vamps, in one stack! But 18 pegasi and shooters weren't enough to wipe them out. Then with Ivor, I break through the GO and miss by 1 cell! to the scout with all the strength. On the next turn, the scout is successfully defeated and Gosha runs to take back his castle. Without thinking, I attack, and this mistake almost cost me the game; stats were roughly equal, only Gosha superior in strength. On my side: 50 elves, 20 geese, 10 unicorns and other fodder; on his side: 350 skeletons and a few souls. Gosha turned out to be an excellent mage with a frost spell at 270 and successfully killed all the elves, forcing me to die against his 13-hit skeletons with 7 upgrades; in the end, I flee, leaving him 150 skeletons. The 4th week arrives; hoping that he didn't get control in the utopia, I decide to continue the resistance and clear the treasuries to search for control and recruits. I buy up growth and run to the swamp respawn, take the tree for 6 geese and a couple of magic strength upgrades, Ivor is an expert speedster. Then for about two weeks, it's a game of "cat and mouse," scout battles and constant reclaiming of castles. Finally, I break through to the underground treasury, where I take the library, a couple of nagabanks, and Pandora's boxes for exp and money, and a red dragon in the refuge. Hoping that Gosha doesn't have lvl 4-5 spells, I put myself in a position at the library with one red dragon planning to kill with magic, but haste on the skeletons ruined it; after killing 6 vamps, I capitulate. Then I attack with a scout and strength and also capitulate. I buy back in the underground secondary site with both and go to capture the Necropolis. After running around a bit more, I finally come across a fat treasury, take a couple of Pandora's boxes for money and exp and 3 hives (12+12+4), and go to take the utopia; on the way, I entered the shrine and got anti-magic, which is just what I needed for complete happiness ). Naturally, control was obtained in the utopia: hat of the fifths and shackles. Here, Gosha, confident in his skeletons, exposes himself to the blow. FF Ivor lvl 22 22-28-18-13(109) +2 speed, Armageddon at 1200, 25 wyverns(6 upgrades), 2 angels(3 upgrades), 4 unicorns(8 upgrades), 7 trees(10 upgrades), 1 red dragon(5 upgrades), 25 dwarves(10 upgrades), 40 zombies(10 upgrades) against Gosha 25-25-20-19(380) 1+1+1 wyvern and 1+1+1+300 skeletons with 8 upgrades. Armageddon was resisted 2 times, but that didn't save Gosha's skeletons.
Thanks for the game.

Turn 2, Game 2.
Dubrovin Pavel (blue,Rampart,Ivor,Ivor) def Lobster (red,Castle,Valeska,Valeska), 2sm4d(3),123.
Took 1 restart.
There wasn't a single external dwelling at the Home respawn, but there was a Dragon Utopia just half a step away from the Main Castle, so I decided to play.
On 1.1.5., I took a secondary (Stronghold).
Regarding creatures on the first, I built up to unicorns.
While scouting the territory, I saw a wood mine captured by the opponent on Barbarian land, the passage to which was guarded by 10-19 Royal Griffins.
As for artifacts, I found the Helmet of Chaos (+3) in a cart and also took the Rider's Gloves after killing 50-99 Pikemen.
I waited for the first growth, broke through the guard at the Barbarian respawn in the form of 10-19 Royal Griffins, and took the opponent's secondary (Stronghold) without a fight on 1.2.2.
My hero defeated the Camp there.
On 1.2.3., the Red hero attacks my hero.
My hero: 3-5-3-4 (40)
Red's hero: 6-3-1-1 (06)
In my hero's army: 4 Unicorns, 9 Pegasi, 21 Noble Elves, 14 Dwarves, 45 Centaurs.
Red's hero has: 3 Cavaliers, 18 Royal Archers, 40 Pikemen.
After a shot from my Elves, which left only 2 of the opponent's Archers, Red retreated and admitted defeat.

Thanks Lobster for the games!
2:0.

Round 3, the bracket has been updated, let's play, the game must be completed by October 16...

Round 3, first game.
Newbik (red, Stronghold, Jabarkass) def. Amster (blue, Conflux, Moner) 1-3-7 2sm4d(3) 1-0
Started on the poorest grassy spawn, but with a few resource nodes. On day 111, I took an air node and headed deeper into the spawn to capture the revealed node with psychics and 2 fire elementals. On day 115, I successfully captured 2 crypts, a pre-max and a max one. I managed to place the psychics in the Stronghold with some difficulty. Moner was level 6. At the beginning of the second week, I bought out the psychics from the node and the Castle and took a gnome mine (15). After that, on day 123, I upgraded the psychics and, with 10 of them, attacked the nearby bank (4). They still managed to kill one 100-hit-point psychic. Then, I lost another one, forgetting to spread out against 16 monks. I broke through to the secondary spawn, then on day 125, I took a pandora node for 60 archers for 120 flies. I lost another psychic! I captured the secondary spawn (Castle), upgraded them there, and, due to a lack of money, decided to go kill my opponent. I upgraded the archers and, on day 1-2-7, stood at the adjacent guard tower. Miscalculating, I didn't reach the opponent's main Castle. Jabarkass successfully attacked and settled into a defensive position. This is where I regretted not exchanging money on the market and not buying at least a little bit of growth for the 3rd week. On day 1-3-2, I attacked. Full force in the opponent's Castle. Moner, level 11, 10-8-4-4(13), expert offense, advanced archery, basic ballistics (basic sniper), advanced earth. Archers with 80 damage. The army consisted of 60 grand archers, 19 storms, 24 energistics, 40+1+1 pixies, 7 psychics against Jabarkass 16-5-1-2 basic warrior (basic resistance, expert archery, expert offense, basic armor). The army consisted of 5 beavers, 2 birds, 37 orcish warlords, 50 goblins.
Well, what can I say? I messed up the battle purely due to bad luck and mass morale drops on the opponent's side. For 5 rounds, I couldn't break through the gates and had to retreat, leaving Jabarkass with 1 half-health beaver. That's how it happens. After that, I simply lost economically.
Thank you for the game.

Newbik (blue, Castle, Valya) def Amster (red, Conflux, Monere) 1-3-4 2sm4d(3) 2-0
I got a lucky pick and took my favorite "nerfed" Conflux, but the rematch didn't work out :rolleyes:, I failed the siege again :o, but it's no shame to lose to a strong opponent.
Everything started great, scouted an external dwelling of fire elementals, a fairly rich respawn, a Griffin Conservatory (tier 2), +4 attack, boots, on day 114 took a secondary town in the underground (Inferno), on day 117 a second one (Swamp), there on the road another Griffin Conservatory (tier 3), a hero with a bird collected 2 crypts and resources at the top of the respawn, the birds with a citadel in the secondary towns stood at 2000 and 1000, Monere level 7. No money problems, I split off Monere to the main town, there I learn level 2 (Blind, Lightning) and go to take the conservatories and artifacts with a plan to rush, successfully take them, but something was off with the settings and I got not 5 angels, but 3 :mad:, well I think even an army like that is enough, I replenish mana in the secondary town and speed up, on day 126 I break through the adjacent guard and run to the opponent's castle, I'm 4 tiles short, Valya splits off and goes on defense.
On day 131 1st FF Monere 14-8-5-6(60) Expert Offense, Advanced Water, Advanced Archery, Basic Tactics without archers oO, from the army: 10 Earth Elementals (2 upgrades), 20 Water Elementals (3 upgrades), 10 Air Elementals (4 upgrades), 20 Fire Elementals (2 upgrades), 3 Angels (0 upgrades), 3 Birds (1 upgrade), 5 Magi (2 upgrades) against Valya ~12-12-3-3(30) Archer at 40 Gems +1 Health, Expert Archery, Basic Offense, Basic Tactics from the army: 25+25 Archers (6 upgrades), 6 Cavaliers (2 upgrades), 1 Angel (0 upgrades), 12 Swordsmen (0 upgrades), a few pokemons. Round 1, the catapult successfully breaks the gate, forgetting about Blind, I throw in the ice elementals! The birds fly and block the 1st stack of Archers, but having set up poorly, the angels don't reach the second by 1 tile, I was counting on Tactics... The Archers successfully shoot, get morale and take down 2 angels, then everyone forward to the gates. I only started casting Blind from round 3-4 when the fliers were almost wiped out, in short we fought, we fought, I ran away leaving 6 Cavaliers to Valya!! I still don't give up, counting on a second attack and the opponent's economic trouble, I replenish mana, bring up the army and attack again with 20 Greater Wasps, 30 Lizardmen, 50 Gnolls, 5 Magi, 3 Birds, 15 Fire Elementals, 5 Wisps against 10 Cavaliers, 1 Angel, 32 Archers, and the rest of the weekly meatshield, I successfully sacrifice the Magi to the Cavaliers, then there was no point in fighting so I run away after killing all the Cavaliers and the Angel, I could have kited, I had a good income army left, but decided not to continue and gave the deserved victory to the opponent, I lost the first battle purely due to my own stupidity, after replaying it several times, in 9 cases out of 10 it was a win, especially with 5 angels instead of 3.
Good luck to Noobik, and I'll try my luck in the losers' bracket, maybe we'll meet again :D

1 game, quarterfinals.

Asm (red, Stronghold, Tyraxor, Tyraxor) def Dubrovin Pavel (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor), 2sm4d(3), 126.

On 1.1.3., I took a secondary hero (Inferno).
On the first week, I placed Unicorns in the citadel, scouted and claimed the external dwelling of Centaurs and Elves.
I found no artifacts, bought the entire army, and on 1.2.3., through the neighboring respawn, broke through to the opponent's respawn. I was unpleasantly surprised to find an already claimed in Red color external dwelling of Behemoths :eek: , however I did not turn back, and went to look for the Barbarian castle.
By 1.2.6., I was one move away from it, Tyraxor was already in the castle.
On the next turn, Red's Papa attacked mine.
6 Behemoths in Tyraxor's army decided the outcome of the game in favor of Asm, I retreated and surrendered.

Thanks to Asm for the game!

The bracket has been updated; we'll be playing until November 27...

I will be away from the city on vacation until December 16, 2007, visiting my mother in the city of Stary Oskol, Belgorod region. I hope that upon my return, I will still have time to participate in the next stage of the "God of War" tournament, but only in the "losers' bracket." Good luck to everyone!
