Posts from Team Tournament: Spring-2009

Captain - Lebron

We started playing after a long "hunt" for Lebron online :).
I was "hunting" him for about three weeks (and also in other tournaments with him).
I "caught" him... in both senses - both for the game and in the game :).
At the beginning of the 3rd week, with 5-gram bears and thunderbirds (with a castle and a hidden stash of birds from the 1st week), I took the opponent's capital... he had connection problems...

Yes, there is an issue with the games, and we are trying to resolve it....
Right now, I'm playing with Alex R, and this is my 3rd game (I lost the first two badly)!!!
Smoke and Spirit have a problem with finding free time. As proof, Hermit played one game as a substitute....
I will finish my game in the coming days, and I will definitely talk to the guys...

We played once, but it turned out to be a mess, so we had to replay:smile43:
Alex_R (blue Rampart, Ivor Desta + Ivor) def SEM_56 (red Dungeon, Shakti Shakti) 2SM4d(3) 134
111, the overview shows a hidden camp of horses and two centaurs + a resource and a stable nearby.
113, secondary town.
Up to 117, 2 hidden camps of centaurs (+ another one was revealed behind a Lizardman camp) and a hidden camp of horses was taken at the cost of 3 wood and a pack of centaurs, with some of them being bought back.
Mainly, 1, 3-6 in the castle, a summoning portal (centaurs) with a market and a thousand gold in the secondary town + 2 hidden camps of troglodytes.
121-127, mainly dragons + 2000 gold in the secondary town + 2 horses from the portal.
A resource camp 2, 2 ogres, and 3 dwarven rangers were taken.
131, I rush into the opponent's secondary town with 3 green dragons, 2 angels, 38 grand archers, 19 silver archers, 17 upgraded horses, and 64 captain centaurs.
132, I take the opponent's main town and reveal an uncaptured resource camp of trolls.
133, Ivor takes a resource camp 2, and Desta defeats one angel with two angels, gaining a +3 attack sword on 42 mages :eek:
Josephine almost reached the capital and was killed by Jedite, but Shakti, who was hiding in the castle, was revealed, as well as Gurney with troglodytes and medusas outside.
I bring 4 more horses and 70 centaurs from the portal and hidden camps, but I don't have time.
I see that Desta is in trouble, so I give all the army to Ivor and the artifacts and attack Gurney with 42 medusas, a queen, and 89 troglodytes + 1 goblin.
Thank you for the game.

Round 1, one game with Mizrael (Alex R or ewgeniy) was not played.
I don't think it's necessary to explain that Misha Mizrael is one of the most noble knights in the game, always ready to go the extra mile for his opponent.

We started a long time ago and saved the game... I think we'll finish it in the next few days

Captain - Lebron

yeah. huge problems with time = internet = the site where, for some reason, battles with the opponent stopped displaying:confused:
and regarding the game - it's a big question who will catch whom, because Galtrash is also good, even without hiding places:)
if I don't manage to figure it out in time, then I'm technically out:(

1-1-7: gorgons and wyverns in castle + 2 external dwellings of wyverns (and 2 gnolls).
1-2-1: uselessly attacked a medusa dwelling with 50 medusas with 11 wyverns. Lost 2 wyverns + 3 gorgons + meat. Took the red dragons external dwelling, exposed a wyvern on tactics to a hit, and twice at that... Another minus 2 wyverns.

Explosion dealing 2100 didn't help here. Opponent surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

1 week griffins in Citadel, barbarian secondary hero. Spent the whole week looking for wood and didn't find any
2- saved money for angels, but only placed champions in castle
3 - 2 Griffin Conservatories for 4 angels, 2 Naga Banks
4 - take 2 Dragon Utopias (Shield +3, Sword +5 all, Necklace +3+3, Helm of the 5th, Book of Water) - first artifact boosts to stats, build archangels.
By the end of the week the opponent with superior stats and army defeats ГО and approaches the capital, I decide not to split for home, but to take another Dragon Utopia - hope only in magic. Got Armor +10 -2, Red Orb, and Earth Book.
The generator generated it so that there was not a single day when Gurnisson was stronger than Tazar.
I apologize to the team.
Thanks for the game.

Alex_R (blue Rampart Ivor Dessa+Ivor) def SEM_56 (red Dungeon Shakti Shakti) 2SM4d(3), 134
Confirmed, appeared at the top with 2 stacks. Lost many troglodytes in battles, lacked speed, and never figured out how to solve this problem...
The only consolation was that Shakti led in parameters until the end of the game, especially attack...
I never managed to execute the plan of taking both beehives at 127 and the Griffin Conservatory for 3 angels. A shame, as I could have given my opponent a decent bite...
Native secondary skills and 2 medusa huts, which had about 60 by 131...
But as they say, no use crying over spilt milk, thanks for an interesting game...

Maggot (Red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) Lose rebellious (Blue, Rampart, Kirya, Kirya) 2SM4d3 135
Well, another defeat :smile04: There's not much to tell.
I started in the Dungeon, and there were two native secondary heroes, but due to the lack of gold, I couldn't recruit anyone (the Dungeon was poor). I emerged (finally) on turn three towards the light, ran into a Necropolis, and they attacked me. I realized that the Rampart was somewhere nearby, but it turned out to be even closer than I thought. On the next turn, Blue attacked and killed me.
Thanks for the game, and also thanks for your patience ;)

"invisible (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Alone (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d3 215
The opponent had 2 external dwellings of Wyverns, but only one path to the Barbarian secondary town and little gold, which decided everything. My situation was quite good: I didn't find the conflux and hives at all at first, but the starting artifact a ring +1/1, an external dwelling of Troglodytes and Medusas, gave me Earth right away, then Log, and the candle near the castle also helped decide the direction. I first ran to break through to the top, but 100 gr of fairies bit some Troglodytes, and at the exit vampires bit some more, plus there was a Barbarian secondary town. I sent a scout hero — the roads were very long, I gave up, turned around, and ran the other way, capturing an external dwelling of Medusas defended by Hobbitts along the way. I saw Pits in the other direction, and behind them a sword +2/2. At first I thought it was ГО, but then Moner revealed Phoenixes, and I finally saw that there were 5-9 Pits))), so a path to the secondary town. I hit the Pits, the Golems for the sword, at the exit Archmagi are buried alive. The secondary town is Rampart, with an external dwelling of Grands near the castle. On 116 I build a Mage Guild in Rampart, buy the spell book, but there is no Slow. Week result: Minos with Portal and mushrooms, Barbarian has a thousand, only 50 Troglodytes remain. On 121 a Naga bank-mini, Moner ran for the fourth castle — Inferno, near which there is an external dwelling of Efreets (didn't take it until the end of the game). On 123 Shakti enters the treasure zone, there Evil Eyes bit some more Troglodytes, bastards((. In the treasure zone there are 3 hives, but the guards are hellish (a lot of junk was guarded as well): 20+ gr cows, 20+ gr psychos and 20+ gr Wyverns (which guarded a red orb). I circled around, circled around, revealed a tome of Air guarded by 20+ gr horses. Nothing else to do, I decided to take the Naga bank first, break through to the outside, and take the tome on 131. I revealed a Dragon Utopia, but breaking through the guard is damn harder than taking the Utopia itself. On 131 the scout hero stands with the whole army near the exit of the treasure zone, Shakti waits for delivery, but Tazar attacks with 17 Wyverns and 30+ gr Basiliks, holy crap, but I have 20k gold, so I'm not too nervous, although he has Tactics, but apparently no Haste. I buy him off for 9k, bring growth to the main hero, he decided to first torment the cows, take a hive, and then hit the Cavalry, because there are only 110 Troglodytes and still no Slow.. I took a hive for 6 Wyverns, got beaten up a bit by the horses, because there were 49 of them. I lost 5 Wyverns and about 30 Troglodytes, but the Medusas and Eyes are all intact. I split to the main hero, double my mana and jumped into the Swamp, where I also took a Wyvern dwelling and +3 attack landing behind a hundred gold Golems. I revealed another Dragon Utopia in the same treasure zone I came from. On 142 I take the first Dragon Utopia — a two-stat one (+4 attack and a Pendant of 5 magic skill), on 143 the second — a max one (a chalice, a Captain's Hat, tomes of Fire and Water). I came out with only Wyverns and Medusas. I see a red cockroach roaming around the same treasure zone, and decided to deviate from the course and take a Wyvern dwelling with a lollipop, because if Tazik gets it, it will be extremely inconvenient for me with 3 elemental tomes and a 5 magic pendant. I see Tazar, who has beaten the guard of the very same psycho gr's dwelling and stood nearby. I have little mana, but I decided to at least kill the angels, because there are as many as 8 of them. I snatched the Pandora's box from under his nose, but didn't have enough movement to take the dwelling. I attack. I traded half of my Medusas for 8 angels and a couple of the opponent's Wyverns. I buy him off, Dimension Door myself into another treasure zone, where I gathered 50+ Wyverns and took a sword +5 attack. In short, I decided not to drag it out anymore, but to catch Tazar before he gets too strong stat-wise. Using View Air I saw red flags and started moving Shakti through the mountains for a speed boost. Oh my, Tazik is already in the Underworld, I split to the main hero and stood not far from him, but without Dimension Door there's no way to reach him. I'm afraid he has it and I don't position for the speed boost. But Tankosaurus doesn't see me, sniffed the emptied hives and moved into the darkness. I Dimension Door and on the last cell catch up with him using Fly. GG
Thanks for the game." (c). invisible

From the whole team, Seryoga, thank you:smile12: !

From the entire team, Seryoga, thank you:smile12:!

I confirm. :) And thank you to the captain for having such a "joker" on the team.

We talked to Vitalik, and we decided that I will play with Vigo, and he will play with Pete. Vigo, come on, let's fight, why aren't you answering in ICQ???

There is the first victory of the Troglodytes:smile54: :smile12: !!! Our joker came through after all:p ! I am publishing the report at the author's request.

"invisible (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Alone (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d3 215
The opponent had 2 external dwellings of Vivi, but only one road to the Barbarian secondary town and little gold – that decided everything.

From the whole team, Seryoga, thank you:smile12: !

On 113 I took an external dwelling of Vivi and decided to play. It became clear that there would be gold problems – an inconvenient respawn and many unnecessary blocks hindering scouting. With difficulty, I broke through the double block at the mines, losing all but 3 Vivi. In the capital, I barely built a Citadel and Vivi. On the second day, I took the Gnome Mine; far away on my native respawn, a Griffin Conservatory was visible – I went there; there was nothing to do at the mines at all. The opponent already had 4 castles on 124, and I realized everything was controlled everywhere. Along the way, I stumbled upon another external dwelling of Vivi behind the Efreeti – I took it and built a castle with my last gold. I immediately took a Hive for 6 Vivi. On 131 I ventured into the cellar and attacked the blue player's folder – I set up on advanced tactics, but the opponent bought himself out in the first round. The 9k gold earned allowed me to buy up the main army and easily take 3+1 Angels. I crashed into the rocks – there was a stable and double mana regeneration. The Angels were brought up, and I took the maximum Griffin Conservatory, with Mass Slow without losses. The entrance to the treasure zone was at the very edge of the map – I went in, took 15 experience from the Minotaurs and 6 Vivi in the Hive. A scout spotted an untaken Dragon Utopia – I rode the Angels toward it. However, the next turn – apparently with Flight – it was opened. I was literally one day short:smile39: Tazar broke through to 49 Ghosts, but didn't have enough movement to take the Pandora's Box and the Unicorn – the opponent took advantage of that, took the Pandora, and attacked me. Army-wise, it seemed hopeless for blue – but then Implosion on the Angels, in the second round they were finished off, and in the third round Shakti's folder buys out again... There was only one option left – a distant entrance from above – where I recaptured the Wings behind the Archangels, but there was nothing else to take – only a couple of Pandora's Boxes for experience.
Revealing showed – 2 out of 3 treasure zones were controlled by the opponent – the reds wouldn't have gotten there, one General treasure zone – where blue had a much more convenient entrance.

Thank you for the game!

The Troglodytes have their first victory! Our joker really came through!

Friends, I sincerely congratulate you! And I hope that Sergey will soon fully return to our forum.

P.S., I have added the results to the first post; please have the team captains calculate the chances of advancing to the semi-finals. As a reminder, the first team in group 1 plays against the second team in group 2, and vice versa.

Round 3, 3 matches remain unscheduled against the team "Knights of the Apocalypse" (SEM-56, smoke_mk, SpiriTT, Ahivog, Hermit). I don't know all the players on this team, but I'm sure that the respected SEM-56 and smoke_mk will definitely agree to play.

We agreed to play with Spirit this weekend - I'm very busy at work and have a lot to do... I already missed one opportunity, and after offering to write a technical report, I received a firm refusal:)

And I hope that Sergey will soon fully return to our forum.

I join in the wish:)
