bRitvo4kA (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Avern (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), Boomerang, 131
Confirmed.
111 I buy Sinka for Shakti and go to recapture the mines; the Castle has a +3 sword.
112 I buy Bron, and take a +5 club from the Ogres.
113-115 I capture resources and mines; it turns out there are few stones on the map (I buy Pikedram in the tavern on the map with 1 Gargoyle).
116, 117 scouting, there are no stones ((. Shakti is in the city. Buildings 1, 2, 3, 4 are built in the Stronghold.
121 I dream of Medusas, I buy supplies.
124 first encounter with red, he has already taken the secondary town; the difference in hero leveling is colossal.
124-127 Kirr is coming to me, gradually recapturing and killing everything.
126 Minotaurs in the Castle, I buy supplies.
127 Shakti goes to meet Kirr; the army is larger, but the hero is significantly weaker. FB (Full Battle).
Learn, learn, and learn.

Special thanks to Lider1 for supporting me in deciding to participate in the tournament.
Even though I am losing, I get great pleasure from the game and communication

Pit for LM (red, Inferno, Octavia, Alamar) def Mozay (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), Seven Lakes, 131. Octavia arrived with 3 stacks, Nimue with two more, and Damacon brought a bunch of troglodytes. So, I have an army, and I'm playing. Damacon started rushing the purple town. On turn 114, I take an empty town, kill a pumped-up mage with a bow and a lot of mana, losing all the imps and many troglodytes. On turn 115, the second hero, Dimer, appears. I attack him with Aenaen and the remnants of the army. The AI breaks the rules by casting Meteor Shower. However, the archer would have been much more dangerous. As a result of a long battle, Aenaen dies, and the AI has 4 troglodytes left, which Alamar finishes off with the archer. Until the end of the week, I gather money, take a town on the swamp, build ifrits, and a Stronghold. At the beginning of week 2, Alamar kills the green Luna, and then Cuthbert takes the capital of this AI. I decide to focus the main resources on building the Conflux and the Guild of Mages in the Dungeon. Alamar with ifrits and other demons takes the villages in the center. On turn 131, I have 6 Phoenixes and a Town Portal with Chain Lightning in the Guild of Mages. I give the Phoenixes to Alamar, and he starts moving next to Shakti – I can't attack because of the red rush. On his turn, Shakti attacks with a small number of troops of levels 1-2. The Phoenixes destroyed everyone. Thank you for the game.

The Phoenixes destroyed everyone.
I confirm... my tactics were not well thought out... that is, there were none at all... the map is not very clear... but that's another story... I lost all my troops while fighting the AI... there was no point in continuing... thank you for the game

Regulations:
16) Time: One game must be played within 2 weeks. Players must agree on game times in this thread. If, for any reason, you cannot play at the agreed-upon time, you must notify your opponent at least 24 hours in advance.
If a player does not play the game within the allotted time, they will be given a technical defeat. If a situation arises where a player is forced to miss a game due to the opponent's fault, they will be awarded a victory, and the guilty party will receive a technical defeat.
In case of absence from the game at the scheduled time, the player will be given a technical defeat. A delay of no more than 60 minutes is allowed.
Respecting my opponents, I never demand written confirmation of the agreement to play in this thread. It is usually not difficult to find a mutually convenient time. Sometimes, the agreement falls through for reasons beyond our control. We inform, apologize, and reschedule.

Pit (21:12:45 04/21/2009)
Where did you go?

I waited until 22:00. The opponent was online. No response from their side. I received this in the morning:

CastleGAZ (04/21/2009 23:19):

CastleGAZ (19:12:39 05/02/2009)
Hey) Shall we start the game today?
Pit (19:24:41 05/02/2009)

We played for 40 minutes over 5 days.

CastleGAZ (21:26:36 05/02/2009)
They won't let me play right now... I'll only be able to play later!
Pit (21:27:00 05/02/2009)

CastleGAZ (21:27:57 05/02/2009)
I don't know, I'll let you know

I have 8 tournaments, and I've already been wasting my time on you for two days
CastleGAZ (21:28:59 05/02/2009)
Sorry, I'm annoyed too
Pit (21:29:20 05/02/2009)
Today or another time?
CastleGAZ (21:30:05 05/02/2009)
Today
Pit (21:30:19 05/02/2009)
Okay, let me know

For 2.5 hours, I observed the opponent's presence online in ICQ and complete disregard for my waiting.

Pit (23:55:51 05/02/2009)
Today in Moscow time will end in 5 minutes
Pit (00:48:04 05/03/2009)
I have no desire to agree and wait for you for hours again. Before signing up for a tournament, you need to think about whether it is possible to participate. And you also need to learn to respect your opponents.
ICQ logs and the save will be on the forum, let the organizer decide what to do with you.

The result for me: 8 hours of waiting, 40 minutes of play, two evenings wasted on poker instead of 2 tournament games.

Unfortunately for me, the map The Hive implies contact with the opponent no earlier than the third week, so I will be able to defeat him no sooner than in 15-18 game days. Extrapolating the existing experience of communicating with the opponent into the future, I suspect that the game will drag on for another 20-30 real hours, which is absolutely unacceptable for me at the moment.
Yes, I am very angry, and I don't hide it... I will not attach the save and have not looked at it yet. I am waiting for the Organizer's decision.
Sincerely.

Sorry for my ignorance again. Does it matter who you play with and in what order? The main thing is to play with everyone in your subgroup?

Alex_R (blue Castle Crag Hack) def SpiriTT (red Dungeon Shakti) 212 Across the Bay
We took 111 each and went:
Start was mediocre, on the first month in the citadel, 4 heroes (all mages Crag Hack, Adelaide, Geon, Andra), but native secondary skills were pleasing.
121-127 Capitol, Cavalry, Angels in Castle, Sorsha appeared, looting the general sea.
131-137 I scooped up almost all the sea, finally the warriors Orrin and Christian arrived, but Crag Hack had already broken through almost everything and has Mass Haste.
141-147 After clearing all my respawn and the entire sea, I went to the opponent, but only reached on 211, passing on everything I could buy:
6 Archangels, 14 Champions, 70+ Royal Griffins, 10 Swordsmen, 158 Arbalests, and nearly 200 Halberdiers.
In the capital there were still 1 Archangel, 27 Zealots, 35 Crusaders, but Shakti attacked himself on magic ground with 10 Titans, 24 King Minotaurs, 32 Medusas, 220+ Infernal Troglodytes, 37+1 Harpy Hag, and 82 Gorgonized Lizards.
Shakti's Earth Sphere and Meteor made me nervous, I won thanks to meat, as I was inferior in both combat and magical qualities.
Thanks for the game!

Alex_R (blue Castle Caitlin) def SpiriTT (red Dungeon Shakti) 212 Around the Bay
We took our respective respawns at 111 and went:
Start was mediocre, first week in the citadel, 4 heroes (all mages Caitlin, Adelaide, Geon, Andra), but the native secondary skills were pleasing.
121-127 Capitol, Horses, Angels in Castle, Sorsha appeared, I loot the general sea.
131-137 I cleared almost all the sea, finally warriors Orrin and Christian arrived, but Caitlin had already broken through almost everything and has mass haste.
141-147 After finishing my own respawn and the entire sea, I went to the opponent, but only reached on 211, passing the maximum I could buy
6 archers 14 champions 70+ royal griffins 10 swordsmen 158 crossbowmen and nearly 200 halberdiers.
In the capital there remained 1 more archer, 27 zealots, 35 crusaders, but Shakti himself attacked on magic ground with 10 cats 24 king minotaurs 32 medusas 220+ infernal troglodytes 37+1 harpy hag and 82 greased lizards.
Shakti's sphere of lightning and meteor made me nervous, I won thanks to meat, since I was inferior in both combat and magical qualities.
Thanks for the game!
Yeah......a bit disappointing:( from the start 2 chests near the castle - and both with artifacts:( damn, all the same, the 2nd level was built - good, but without troglodyte upgrade. I spread out
my heroes, wasted a day - I don't know what's better - probably should have built the statue right away, I bought a hero. So at 112 I had 5 heroes, among them Damacon, Kirj. Next, the witch revealed defense - excellent. I reveal an artifact - Thunder Helmet, under the brown bears - probably also good. I exit bottom to secondary - it was under dogs - swamp - could have been worse. I build a tavern and the statue there, artifacts - Tree's Favor and +2 speed

Added after 35 minutes
On the second day I cleared a naga bank and a gnome hut. On the third I killed the bears and for some reason didn't go to kill the opponent. On the 4th I took a speed artifact, the opponent arrived with a crazy army. Ahead in all parameters, offense, defense, meteor at 475, but the opponent entered magic ground and there Shakti - the unlucky one proudly didn't surrender to the enemy, and burned himself alive:) even in the final there was a chance, I needed to cast slow first, then meteor, not the other way around. But the archers resurrected almost all 70 shooters, haste, and then 4 stacks out of 6 got morale, the horses and halberdiers struck with luck - damn, I haven't seen such luck in a long time. But fortune favors only the strongest. Thanks for the game! P.S the dream of defeating the strongman didn't come true:)

It’s certainly great that you’re giving me a second chance. But I believe the match was played fairly, even though there were some deviations from the rules. I confirmed the defeat. Let’s wait for the judges’ opinion.
