Report dudge rampart\kirre\kirre vs ewgeniy kobrak\sarrug 132 natural enemis2
I surrendered after my opponent took the secondary, and on top of that, most of the fights were lost, and Kyrre still managed to get 5k experience (and even cleared the sea). I built Castle on the first week, thereby digging myself into an economic ....
In my defense, I’ll say: for technical reasons, I couldn’t look at the map in the editor. My opponent won fairly and honestly, thank him for the game, and good luck to Sasha in the finals — if he gets there, of course.

That’s how it was. But I don’t think the game was already lost for Evgeny at that point, and he could have kept fighting. Anyway, hurray for the finals. And I’m curious how I’ll play against my little brother))) in a hot seat, maybe?):smile04: :smile04: :smile04:

vbn (Stronghold, Dessa) vs. BotINKi (Castle, Kaitlin), winner - vbn. Map #9 - Desert War. Dessa came to the center too late to capture the central stronghold. Kaitlin did it a day earlier. But thanks to an expert in logistics and pathfinding, Dessa managed to capture this stronghold first. Dessa first took the scholar and only then took Pandora for experience, while Kaitlin continued to move around with pathfinding level 1. The first battle took place on 1-3-3 (see the corresponding image and save file) in the center. The second battle took place on 1-3-4 on Kaitlin's respawn point. In both battles, Kaitlin kills one creature with an arrow and runs away. On 1-3-5, Dessa took Kaitlin's starting stronghold and headed towards the central stronghold, but didn't reach it by 7 steps. On 1-3-6, Dessa didn't have enough steps to reach Kaitlin. As a result, Kaitlin captures the central stronghold, but on 1-3-7, Dessa takes it back and eliminates Kaitlin from the game.

Hello everyone! I would be very happy to participate in the tournament. After reviewing the rules, I was pleased to see that they are similar to ours. I used to only play in clubs or in hot-seat mode. This will be my first time playing online, and I'm curious to see what everyone can do. Good luck to everyone in the tournament, and may the logistics be favorable in the first week! ICQ 379-548-329 NICK PoisonProIsen

Uran Dungeon Gunnar (scrub with stone skin) - Dudge Inferno Pyre Pepelina ___Chess___
First of all, I want to say that the map is absolutely unfair. Blue has it much easier, because he has 4 treasure chests vs 2 for red, also at the start he is given 2000 gold and 3 of each resource, and his path to the center lies straight through his own 2nd castle and upgrade building, and finally a free scouting tower, for which red has to shell out 15k. It's impossible to compete with this))))
But Dudge made one "little" mistake — he didn't look at the hero's magic in the central prison, and there was Chain Lightning, Fly, and Town Portal...
It's very tough to break through some level 4 stacks without shooters. And given the advantage in starting gold for development, I was catastrophically behind and already at the start of week 3 I realized that I didn't need to build anything except Eyes (stuck on week 1) and Summoning Portals (it wouldn't help anyway). And then it took off.....
When he grabbed the Helm, Sword, and Wings in the underground, having lost almost everything, I captured the upgrade building and the dragon dwelling, built Summoning Portals, and via chains moved the Dragons to the upgrade, freed the Prison (though I was very disappointed when I didn't see a spellbook on the hero, but after splitting up I immediately bought one and flew off to teach my hero Chain Lightning and Town Portal, grabbing the Shield along the way). In the end, after taking both his castles, I met his hero coming out of the underground in his main castle, and with 5 Black Dragons and Chain Lightning dealing 930 damage, I feared nothing.
Uran (14.11.22.14) Dudge (25.23.25.23) on day 5 of week 5, Dudge was shot down by Chain Lightning without ever reaching home.
The game was tough, and if Dudge had wanted to take the central hero, he could have done it almost a week before me, and I would have had no chance at all, but as it is, URAN - WIN

Everything is correct, except that it's on the 5th day of the 4th week.

invisible(red, swamp, Bron, Bron)def ewgeniy(blue, Barbarian, Dessa, Dessa) World_of_Thieves 133
A very poor map where you have to fight for every piece of gold, but you get extra money for each battle. We knew which map we would be playing on, so I took Bron to make it easier to clear the map with basilisks.
At the start, 5 basilisks, and in the tavern, Caitlin and Rosie – great. On the first day, I invested a thousand in the Castle, on the second, I bought Caitlin and headed to the lower Castle, which turned out to be a swamp as well :), picking up a crypt along the way. In short, the situation is just awesome, but the Castle was guarded by upgraded pegasi :(, so I turned around and went to the other end of the map to take an unguarded Castle. Rosie (who was given water in the forest) with an army in front, Bron behind as backup. Rosie, along the way, captured gold mines with archers and basilisks, and Caitlin, who was given pathfinding, went to the resource nodes, bought archers from the available units, collected everything that was lying around, and ran to catch up with everyone. I didn't take the second Castle in the first week; Zhenya took his Tower on day 116, and I still had a few days to go. But I'm not too upset, because I have Caitlin, and my opponent only has 2 heroes. Result of the first week: building lizards and snakes without a Citadel, and everything is prepared for building a Town. On day 123, Rosie was one tile short of taking the Rampart. On day 124, he takes the Castle, buys dwarves, and defends a shield +3 and a chest with 16 horned demons. Rosie is already level 4, passes the shield and troops to Bron, and he goes to take the secondary swamp Castle. Caitlin, at this time, is engaged in looting and collecting everything she can find. Result of the second week: a Capitol with basilisks. On day 131, I see a blue flag one day away, near my secondary swamp Castle, and I'm afraid that it might be Dessa and she will reveal the map. I buy Broghild, 7 basilisks, 2 dragonflies, and use them to gain momentum, preparing to buy more of them the next day and pass them on to Bron. On day 132, Saurug appears out of nowhere on 1 wolf, so Bron immediately drives him away with 5 basilisks. After that, Zhenya surrenders, because he lost Dessa twice, which greatly affected his development. I looked at the saves later and realized that Zhenya had no chance in this game. I planned to buy all the basilisks (there would be only 17 of them) on day 133, dragonflies, take the swamp, and go down to his secondary Castle. And the opponent couldn't build anything in his army in these two weeks, except for upgraded gremlins and a thousand units in two Castles. Yes, on such a poor map, losing the main hero twice is 5000 gold. And 5000 gold severely damaged the economy.
Thank you for the game!

Alex_R (Dungeon/Gunnar) vs Uran (Castle /?)
Map: World_of_Thieves(ert).h3m
The start was very tough – many battles – all the gold is guarded – and even monsters dropped gold – I cleared the mines near my home castle – and rushed in two different directions…. It’s unclear why I upgraded harpies in the first week… apparently, the temptation was due to the offer to buy the Lorelei hero – and I also decided to clear out some of what Gunnar had left behind… in general, I almost lost Lorelei right away – because when attacking 30 pikemen, their morale dropped 3 or 4 times… only 5 harpies survived – I decided to engage in sabotage, as it was no longer realistic for her to fight…
So, by the end of the first week, I had built levels 1-4 and captured the Conflux village? In the second week, I started to slow down a bit – I barely managed to capture the second Conflux with Gunnar – and I was running around from dungeon to dungeon, afraid of losing him… for some reason, I built 2 levels of magic in my home castle, and by the 7th day of the second week, I only had 1-5 monsters from the Castle.
Just on days 1-2-7, Uran’s hero attacked Gunnar in the Conflux, after which Uran surrendered, which pleasantly surprised me!)))
And only after reviewing the daily saves did I see that he had lost one hero himself, I killed one, and the one who attacked me at the end was most likely his strong hero… and for some reason, by the end of the second week, he only had level 1 monsters – did his economy suffer that much???

Kamikaze (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def. invisible (red, Castle, Valeska, Gurnisson) map #10, 125
They chose the Castles they wanted. In the first week, I took both Castles, cleared almost everything in the vicinity, and built horses in my Castle. I assigned Gurnisson as the main hero, who took Earth and Logistics in the hut. But I didn't have time to level him up, as I was clearing with all the heroes, and by the end, he was only level 4. On day 121, I lost in the Naga Bank (6 horses, 50 archers, and 40 spearmen). Those morale-boosting Nagas, damn it, turned out to be 20 Nagas with an upgraded stack. But the mercenaries gave me a Chaos Hydra, so I ran to the underground for the quest artifact. On day 124, Kirr breaks through the garrison with angels and runs to my Castle. I see she has a black and green dragon :smile11:. I returned to the Castle and waited. On day 125, Kirr attacks, with higher stats, level 14, morale and luck +3, and speed +2, but without a book. I immediately thought - I'm doomed, because I have almost no troops.
In the final battle, Kirr has 1 black and 1 green dragon, 11 upgraded pegasi, 27 elves, 71 centaurs, and 6 unicorns. Gurnisson has 1 Chaos Hydra, 3 minotaurs, 2 champions, 31 spearmen, 12 swordsmen, and 3 monks. With the help of artillery, I killed the green dragon, although it managed to breathe once, and I put the swordsmen and spearmen in the line of fire. The elves attacked the Hydra, and I healed it. I had a Spirit of Despair (I wish I had used it in the Naga Bank, but I found it later), but I forgot to put it on in the final battle. I killed the dragons and pegasi. There was 1 Hydra, 10 swordsmen, and a few spearmen left, and she had elves, 3 unicorns, and half a hundred centaurs. The unicorns blinded the Hydra, lowered its morale, attacked again with luck, and the Hydra was barely breathing. Well, that's it. Not my day.
Thanks for the game! And, in my opinion, you shouldn't set up a mercenary camp in the tournament.
The rematch didn't happen

Hmm...the mercenary camp — a real pain in the ass. Getting a Black Dragon on the third or fourth day, I swept through the entire dungeon, taking all the chests for experience. On the first day of the second week (I think), I get a Green Dragon from the mercenary camp (too bad it wasn't a Gold one :D). But even without it, I would have attacked anyway, because today is my grandpa's birthday — 77 years old! My Kyrre is way too strong, but I didn't expect Gurnisson to be so heavily leveled (unpleasantly surprised). A whole bunch of morale and luck boosters along the way to the enemy's capital were very handy (but in the battle, I didn't notice luck somehow... it only triggered once, I think). And Velocity Cap too! In short, once I attacked, I was waiting for the first hole in the wall. And as soon as it appeared, I knew — the game was mine! On a map like this (saw it for the first time), there's no chance against Kyrre — way too much free stuff, and with Kyrre's skill, it's a super trump card. I like games like this — an hour and a half of pleasure. Thanks to Serega for persuading me to play; honestly, I wasn't planning on it anymore.
PS: Hands off the mercenary camps!!! ;)

Simply on such a map (seeing it for the first time) against Kyrre there are no chances — too much free stuff, and with Kyrre's skill it's a super trump card.

You wouldn't have taken the Castle if I hadn't thrown the game at the nagobank ;) Even in that fight, I could have defended my Castle if not for that damn morale :)

You wouldn't have taken the castle if I hadn't lost in the early game ;) Even in this battle, you could have defended your castle if it weren't for that damn morale :)

If you hadn't lost in the early game, if it weren't for that damn morale, if Kirryusha hadn't been so skilled... then something else probably would have happened, most likely ;)

The start was very tough – many battles – all the gold is guarded – and even monsters dropped gold – I cleared the mines near my home castle – and rushed in two different directions…. I don't understand why I upgraded harpies in the first week… it seems the temptation was due to the fact that they offered to buy the hero Lorelei – and I also decided to clear out a bit – what Gunnar had left… in general, I almost lost Lorelei right away – because when attacking 30 pikemen, their morale dropped 3 or 4 times… only 5 harpies survived – I decided to engage in sabotage – because it was already impossible for her to fight…
So, at the end of the first week, I built ranks 1-4 and captured the village of Conflux? In the second week, I started to play a bit poorly – I barely captured the second Conflux with Gunnar – and I ran from dungeon to dungeon – fearing to lose him… for some reason, I built 2 levels of magic in my home castle, and as a result, by the 7th day of the second week, I had only 1-5 monsters from Castle.
Just on days 1-2-7, Uran attacked Gunnar in Conflux, after which Uran surrendered, which pleasantly surprised me )))
And only after reviewing the daily saves did I see that he lost one hero himself, I killed one, and the one who attacked me at the end was most likely his strong hero… and for some reason, by the end of the second week, he only had 1st-rank monsters – did his economy suffer so much???

Yes... The second final and the second talentless game... As in the previous game, I lost at the very beginning... I had to manage to lose my only hero on the 2nd day and just wait for 500 coins to accumulate for the next one...
I thought about surrendering right away, but I still decided to wait for a miracle... which didn't happen)))

NEWS:
More news from the battlefields of the Might and Magic universe.
- The grand finale of the second official Heroes World online tournament is just around the corner. Only one match remains. Currently, Aleks_R looks like the favorite, as he defeated his main competitor, Uran. Having caught up with the younger of the brothers in terms of points, he received an artifact that grants +3 to morale. Now he only has to face Dudj, who, in turn, lost to Uran. Today, the standings are as follows: Uran - 21, Alex - 18, Dudj - 18.
If Alex wins, he becomes the champion; if he loses, Uran will be the champion! That is, Dudj has no chance of winning the Autumn Cup, but is he lacking motivation???
- The places from fourth to seventh have been determined:
4. vbn - 15
5. Kamikaze - 12
6. Invisible - 12
7. Ewgeniy - 12
As in the previous championship, Kamikaze finished fifth, this time letting the formidable vbn pass him and take fourth place. Ewgeniy, another representative of Homo Homini, rounded out the top seven. So, three members of Homo Homini made it into the "magnificent seven." Congratulations to their clan on their undisputed leadership in this regard.
