Posts from Team Tournament: Spring-2009 Auto-translated

Pit for LM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Charna) def vbn (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson), 2sm4d(3).

It's been a while since I had to play with such a terrible setup.

In the Armageddon team, Javdet has been replaced by KobRa_RR.

The results have been submitted.


If the opponents don't object, let it be.

P.S. I ask the team captains of "Order of the Phoenix" and "Zavrov" to report on the games. The deadline is approaching, and no matches have been recorded. If there are problems, let the teams mutually agree to have one player each compete – the winner will lead their team to the final.

As far as I know, Lesgor and Vitalic started playing together, but the latter has problems with his modem, so it didn't work out.
I talked to Vigo on ICQ; he can play in the evenings, but I can't. I think we'll solve the problem so that we don't have to wait, and I'll wait for his clear actions.
Volland, as far as I know, is already playing with Pasha.

Pavel Dubrovin (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Volland (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 2.2.1.

On the first week - Rampart secondary, Horses in Castle in the Main.

On the second week - native secondary, external Angel dwelling for 19 Wyvern-Monarchs, luckily I had Tactics, otherwise I would have lost, broke through into an underground Treasury, there I saw +2 Speed and aimed to take them at the start of the third week...
However, the ubiquitous Tazar snatched them on 1.3.1. and went back to his own, I had to return too, took a Naga Bank for 4 Nagas. In another surface Treasury, a scout hero revealed 2 Dragon Utopias, the Book of Earth, the Dragon Scale Breastplate for 20-49 Bears, which also guarded a Hive, there I took the Valey for 100-249 Water Elementals Library.

On the third week - went into another underground Treasury, looking for a Hive. Took the Hive, there for 20-49 Hydras I also took the Titan's Cuirass, a Naga Bank, ported home and go to the Treasury with Dragon Utopias.

On the fourth week - took the Breastplate +4+4 for Bears, a Hive, a Dragon Utopia-Two (Red Ball, Boots of Magic Resistance, Golden Bow), then for 10-19 Green Dragons with upgraded stats the Book of Earth (but didn't rejoice for long, never got Earth Magic until the end of the game), then another Dragon Utopia-Two (Shield of All, Sandals of All), Town Portal to native.

On the fifth week - beat up to 9 Magic, take the opponent's Capital, everything there is bought out, the next turn his scout from an ambush with a Weekly Army retakes the Main and leaves. Next turn I take the Capital again, then the Citadel secondary. Tazar flies from his Sandy Treasury and takes my native secondary. Valya ports to her Native, wait to see where Tazar will go. Tazar, after visiting a Lookout, spotted me and goes to his respawn. His scout with a Weekly Army takes Fortress back. However, Tazar stops within Valya's reach, and she doesn't miss this opportunity and attacks. I kill 10 Wyverns, Tazar buys himself out. I had the chance to Town Portal but feared he would throw Valya into Tower, so I concentrate 7 scouts at the entrance to my Main, to prevent Tazar from settling in my Main from my secondary on the next turn. However, Tazar, having bought out in my native secondary, flies in 1 turn with Flight to my Main, but doesn't settle inside, instead steps out 1 tile. Now Tazar sends scouts to prevent Valya from reaching him. However, on 2.2.1. turns, Valya has just barely enough to return her Main and attack Tazar. In battle, Gating and morale decided it.

Thanks for the game!

I added the results to the first post and listed the semifinal pairings.

The deadline for the semifinal matches is May 10, 2009 (Sunday) inclusive.

It seems the players agreed on the colors themselves.

One round has been going on for three weeks, which is too long. I ask the participants to finish the semi-final matches by May 18, 2009.
