Respected Scorp played all the qualifying matches, which took him a few days.
Awesome, Misha. :smile14:

Dreamcatcher (blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 215 Sorry, I can't write a detailed report... my wife is kicking me off the computer... in general, I had strong magic and a level 91 Wyvern, which helped me win... Thanks for the game.

Group 2, Round 1: Homo Homini - Forest Sanitizers (EPU)

Aldegir (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Dreamcatcher (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 215

Sorry, can't write a detailed report... wife is kicking me off the computer... in short, I had strong magic and 91 wyverns, which decided the game...

Thanks for the game

In the third and fourth weeks, I visited two treasure zones, took several hives, two Dragon Utopias — one gave complete junk, the other gave a helmet +6 all stats. Several Pandora's Boxes with experience and gold. One gave all the land, and nearby there was a tome of fire.
I approached the final battle with 18-26-13-10, all land + fire, 7 hydras, 40 wyverns, and the rest.
My opponent — 8 angels, 90 wyverns (!!!) spell power 23, tome of air. I couldn't counter such numbers. His treasure zone turned out to be more rewarding than both of mine.

And thank you too.

I confirm, I play like sh*t, here's the response, sorry for the swearing, thanks for the game....

I wonder which letter is missing here :D

Message for Lesgor! You can get some rest today; I apologize that it's happening this way. I got into a serious mess on my way home from work and probably won't be able to make it home – my dorm closes at 1 AM. PLEASE FORGIVE ME! I hope you understand. If I manage to get online, I'll let you know personally.

:( :( :( I hope it's nothing too serious. I understand everything... I just don't know what to do now. I even took a 2-hour nap right before the game. Night games are a bit tough for me... Okay, let's try another time. I don't even know when I'll be able to play at night again...

Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Tower, Niela, Niela) def invisible (Blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson), 2sm4d(3), 2.2.7.

During the first week - Nagas in the Stronghold, Conflux secondary (there is a Dragon Utopia by the road), external dwelling of Gremlins. I happened to have enough gold for the Nagas because I planned to reach another cluster, but I was short 1 cell from it. Lucky that I had to move behind a Wood cluster to place the Nagas, and in the fog, the saving cluster opened up. Two Money-makers also helped a lot since there was no gold at all.

During the second week - just waited/planned.

During the third week - 3 Hives (2 on my own respawn and 1 on the Inferno one) for 24 Vivians in total, but over one of the Hives a stack of 17 Grand Crusaders lost morale, and I carefully killed 2 Vivians, Inferno secondary. For the first Hive, I had to take 200+ Gremlins since I couldn't buy enough Retributors; about 60 of them were slaughtered. I am standing in the Dragon Utopia on the Conflux respawn.

During the fourth week - Minimum (Air Book), I break into the Inferno secondary, go to the Treasury, but Sergey had already been there, so I had to settle for the Legion Head and break into the Conflux secondary, as Shnyr found the entrance to the Underworld there and revealed the Inferno land of the presumed Treasury. At the end of the week, Sergey uses DD (or Flight) and takes my Main city, which I had to give up because I didn't have a trump card to hold off the siege.

During the fifth to middle of the sixth week - I dashed via Teleport to the Inferno Treasury, but I didn't like it, so I returned to the Inferno Treasury. There I gathered an Angel Alliance from 5 Dragon Utopias and took the Cloak of Resistance. I retook my Main city, Consuls for 3 Angels.
Sergey enters reach, I attack, kill some troops with Magic (there were quite a few due to his own secondary), so I had to pay them off.
On 2.2.7., Sergey storms me in the Tower.
Thanks to the Cloak of Resistance and Lightning for 800+, against 400, I withstand the Siege.


Thanks to Sergey for the game!

I had plenty of one-unit meat, but my stats were zero compared to Pasha's sky-high ones after six Dragon Utopias. I cleared 2 treasuries and found only one Utopia with wings. Even in such a situation, I had an advantage because my Impl on 1500 could take down any of Nela's stacks. But Pasha saved the Cloak of Renunciation))), so it became impossible to kill Nela with stats over 30, and the whole map was already eaten up, so there was nowhere left to get more stats
Thx for the game.

Vigo (blue, Rampart, Kyrre) def Kash (red, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 135

Average start, but I was pleased with the external dwelling of horses and elves. On the first day, I took the Barbarian secondary dwelling, painted the elf and horse external dwellings—though the horses were a struggle, guarded by 35 diamonds (they also had an artifact +4 attack)—I lost almost everyone, only 12 Elvisses remained :( The Castle settled in, so I thought I'd replenish my troops.
On the second day, the cockroaches reported that they found an external market; fights loomed on the horizon until the end of the week. But another squad of cockroaches spotted an Inferno treasure zone with a Dragon Utopia, and I left the fighters alone, plugging in +2 for the wood elves and dwarves.
On the third day, I take the Inferno secondary dwelling and from there into the underground to the Dragon Utopia. In the first underground area, they gave me a speed cloak and a +4 all shield as useful items, and the money helped; in the second, the Inferno one, they gave trash, and that's where Valya emerged, ate the Pandora's box and, deciding not to delay, attacked herself.


Thanks for the game, namesake. You fought bravely!

Vigo (blue, Rampart, Kirrh) def Kash (red, Castle, Valeska) 2sm4d(3) 135

Confirmed. Thank you.

Lesgor (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) defeated Mizrael (red, Tower, Aine, Tyraxor) 2sm4d(3) 131

My opponent took both restarts, while I only took one. It was a very tough start, but I managed to get 2 cons and a pack of wolves. I struggled throughout the first week. On turn 114, there was no way I could get Behemoths; I barely managed to buy birds with the help of resource trading, although the red player was also experiencing financial difficulties in the first week. I only managed to place bears in the Citadel thanks to the dwarves (15 each) and some gold found by a rogue on the edge of the map. Next, I take cons 1+2, clear a path to the underground near my capital by taking the forest on 4, launch a rogue who approaches the edge of the map – there's a neutral Inferno nearby, and a +5 shield for a pack of hounds. I can't see the red player yet. I rush in, destroy the forest, take the shield, and position myself on 127 on the road leading out of the map and towards the snow area near my opponent (I was a day late due to some mistakes). I pass the turn – my opponent is not present on this turn. On turn 131, I bring up a bear and a couple of birds – I didn't have enough money for more, I attack the guards, and on the last square of the turn, I reach the red player's capital with Tyraxor and a split army inside.
Thank you for the game

Lesgor (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def. Mizrael (red, Tower, Aine, Tyraxor) 2sm4d(3) 131

There was a time when I made a really stupid mistake - I gave Aine an army for 1 day to defend against Pandora and didn't realize that I wouldn't be able to get the army back. Pandora gained 10k experience, and Aine, with her air expert, said, "Oh, there are blue creatures in the dungeon..." So, here I just made a blunder, put my dad in a castle with 3 nagas, which, with those stats, can't defend against 3 angels, it was a complete failure.

Group 2. Round 3
Knights of the Apocalypse vs Homo Homini

SEM-56 vs Alex_R
SpiriTT vs ewgeniy
smoke_mk (Hermit) vs vbn (Aldegir)

Dirty_Player (Fortress, Bron, Crag Hack) def rebellious (Tower, Neela, Neela) 127 2sm4d(3)

It was a tough game. We only restarted on the first day, almost 5 hours. There was a 5th level hero and a respawn on meeting on 116 (This stupid rule should be revoked). We started the next day.

The matchup turned out to be the worst. Bron came without basilisks. In the tavern, Crag Hack, who got Log on the first Knowledge Stone. At least something. In the first few days, I ran around with four heroes. Broke through many blockers... Broke through to the secondary (Stronghold) where I built birds. And in the main only wyverns in the Citadel... At the beginning of the second week, I find a Pandora's Box on the respawn. It gave 15 ogre magi. I run to the respawn, break the hive - max roll, go back, break the hive (6 wyverns), naga bank (4 each), build hydras in the main and go into the Inferno treasure zone. After the naga bank, I get Expert Air!!! I lit up the hive behind the dendroids. Suddenly a red hero runs out, breaks through the dendroids and runs back. I enter the hive - max roll again!! Only 34 wyverns and 13 ogre magi remain in the army. I go further, there's a monolith, I dive in, see Neela on genies and Tan with an army. I attack Tan, Mass Haste and kill him. (2 mana left), but I can't reach Neela. Neela picks up nagas and attacks, casts Mass Slow and gets Mass Haste in response (had a Pendant +3 mana per day, which helped a lot throughout the entire game). GG. Thanks for the game!

SEM-56, smoke_mk, SpiriTT, Ahivog, Hermit
Anyone want to play a clan match right now? Let me know.

Which clan match?
And also, I'm not happy with your approach to games....
For example, we play a match, save the game, and the opponent doesn't show up for a couple of weeks....
And you write a report about your victory, as if it were a game against Ahivog, etc.
I'd like to clarify this and the first question:smile14:

I spoke with Vitalik. We roughly outlined the following:

Phoenixes - Armageddon
vitalic - LeBron
Vigo - Pit for LM
Dubrovin Pavel - Javdet

If there are any time issues, I will replace either LeBron or Pit. Good luck to everyone!

Lesgor (blue, Conflux, random, Pasis, Pasis) def Hermit (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 136

First, my 2 restarts and off we go. The roads are slow, so the game was dragging. Pasis only came with 15 faeries, but the air elementals are built, so by day 112 I have 11 storms. In 2 days I experted artillery, so fights with neutrals were easy, practically without losses.
Day 113, I revealed the Rampart secondary hero; on his respawn there are 4 crypts, and as a result, the birds became no problem.
Day 121 - I rushed from Rampart home, bought 4 firebirds, and set off along the other road, which I hadn't scouted on the first due to a dragonfly block. I got tactics and logistics. Then a fork - the road clearly leads to ГО and downwards, which is where I went. I took +6 attack artifact from the nagas, +4 knowledge from the water elementals. I revealed the external dwelling of earth elementals and 2 air elementals, broke through the guard on the road to another grassy respawn, behind which were immediately stables and a Griffin Conservatory, where I cowered 2 angels. On day 126, I enter a crypt, and it's empty; I can't see the reds. On day 127, the loh finds a view tower, revealing Kyrre fleeing home, whom I unfortunately cannot reach with my stack, and the red capital is also visible. I give the army to another loh, visit the stat boosters, and rush home, where on day 131 I take a nearby cube behind the sultans. They give 30 water elementals:cool: I learn bolt in the guild and head to the opponent. I attacked the reds in their capital.

Final battle:
Pasis - 16-9-5-(60) exp. offense, artillery, tactics, adv. logistics, basic defense. +1 morale/luck tent, ballista. Bolt for 135
61 ice elementals, 2 angels, 71 faeries, 8 firebirds, 8 psychos, 25 earth elementals, 51 storms.

Kyrre - 7-9-2-(40) exp. archery, logistics, tactics, water. Ice elemental for 90
18 pegasi, 7 unicorns, 40 elves, 1 angel, 44 dwarves, 33 centaurs.

Kyrre was brutally beaten))). The battle went almost without losses for the blues.
Thank you for the game.
