I confirm! The Wolves are simply devastating!
Thanks for the game! Good luck in the tournament :)

There is very little time given!!! I almost didn't do anything too complicated, but I was constantly under pressure. Or at least, the timer should stop during battles.

According to the rules of this tournament, time stops during battles. I didn't realize this right away.

Usually, skirmishes are played with a limit of 3000+400, without stopping during battles; it's almost always enough.

Stopping the timer is not good because it makes battles like "ballista + a couple of flies vs. a horde of zombies" justifiable. You have to pay for such an easy win.

Dreamcatcher (blue, Swamp, Broghild, Broghild) def Javdet (red, Tower, Ain, Gurnisson) 1-3-6, 2sm4d(3) I won't go into details, it's late and I want to sleep. I won thanks to a very advantageous starting position. Thanks for the game! And once again, the intrigue is brewing.

I won't go into details, it's late and I want to sleep. I won thanks to a very good starting position. Thanks for the game! And once again, the intrigue is building up.

I don't know about the starting position, but I played terribly myself:smile21:

Are we waiting for someone?

We are waiting for the Pit - Javdet match. If Pit wins, he and I will advance; if Javdet wins, we will play a third additional round:smile35:

Yesterday, Pete and I didn't finish our game. I think we'll finish it today or tomorrow.

I didn't check the rules to see that morale was on (previously in games with Dream and Pit with the same settings it was never there :))), I attacked the 2nd for max cons — 3 bears, and 45 dogs ate me up, it was almost time to raise the white flag. At 133 Dragon Utopia min with water book — free pokemon from 2 caches helped out, almost without significant losses. In the Castle secondary, things went well and Town Portal worked on the 1st try to Tarasik's fire.
At 137 I jump with momentum and take the empty capital, and at 145 Brogh came out with metro. A check showed an almost complete lack of mana, so I attack via Town Portal from the secondary. ГГ

Thanks for the game and P.S.!!!!:

P.S. to the organizer and the participants themselves:
maybe we can settle the semifinal with five people? after all, there is no guarantee that even a 3rd replay won't result in a draw...

maybe we can handle the semi-final with five players? After all, there's no guarantee that a third replay won't result in a draw...

+1 There's no other option, in my opinion.

Not the best game.
In the first week, I lost 4 Wyverns - one in the dungeon, one in each of the two Wyvern nests, and one while breaking through the Gorgons for a secondary Conflux. I built up to level 1-6 in the Castle.
In the second week, everything was very slow; Broghild wasn't given any logistics, pathfinding, or navigation. I only managed to gather money in the warehouses with Medusas and took a minimal Conservatory.
At the beginning of the third week, it got even worse - the stable stopped working, and the hero went into the snow... There are two Conservatories there, but again, minimal ones:mad:. I visited the library and headed underground to the Treasury. And then, suddenly, Roma takes my Castle...
There wasn't anything special in the underground Treasury, and there was nowhere to replenish mana. It's a pity I couldn't implement the plan - I saw all the pieces of the Cursed Armor and the Elixir of Life near my secondary Conflux, and many Hives with Utopia in the snowy Treasury there - by the end of the week, I had pathfinding, navigation, boots, and gloves.
Thank you for the game.

Another round might end in a draw again; I support any change in the tournament format.

There's a suggestion to not play a playoff, but instead have a group of five players. And the top two would advance to the final.

Here's a suggestion: have the top three players from each of the two groups play against each other. Since everyone in their respective groups has already played each other, cross-group matches would create a round-robin tournament with six players. What do you think, Kostya, are you in? :)

What do you think, Kostyan, are you in favor? :)

What's wrong with me being in favor? I'm IN! :D
I can suggest an even more interesting option! Make the semi-finals consist of 2 groups of 3 people each, and the winner of each group goes to the finals!

Let’s just start playing somehow!

I like Dream's idea – let's play with new super-units... we've already played 4 games with Dream and Pete.
