We restarted for a long time. A couple of times we met on 116, the generator was burning. Finally got a normal layout: lots of imps and a moneybag with Conflux fairies, all at 7 speed. Road to GO and a teleport to the pegasi, Ignat gets a level on the experience stone - logistics, on 115 it's expert + a stable at the Castle respawn. Built efreeti and pit fiends with the castle, in the secondary town a marketplace (traded everything and inserted +1000), three external dwellings of imps, one of demons and hounds were farmed. On the second week broke through to the swamp secondary town, everywhere medusas were guarding the secondary towns, with tactics managed and took the swamp secondary town.

Thanks for the game

It was. After 4 hours of generation, it generated garbage again, which my nerves lasted exactly 1 week. Then an error and finish. Thank you.

The "Order of the Phoenix" clan team made it to the finals, winning against their opponents from the "Zavry" team 2-0. They are waiting for their opponent, who will be determined in the match between the "Armageddon" and "Homo Homini" teams, where the score is currently 1-1.

P.S., I have posted the results of all played games in the rating topic, except for the match between Chudozavr (Keba) and Aldegir. It was a draw, and it's unclear what to assign to whom.

We are waiting for the finals.

Couldn't finish the game with Cobra yesterday; we saved it at the beginning of the third week. If the organizer and players are willing to spend more time to finish the game, I suggest playing it with Javdet, as he's back and eager to play! And I think Cobra and I can agree on when to finish this game and how it will count.

Sorry for the delay - I'm ready to play with almost any opponent at any time.

P.S. Javdet, I'll be available today from 9:00 PM Kyiv time.

2 Alex R. Please discuss this matter with the captain of the opposing team. Option 1: play against Cobra. Option 2: play against Javdet. It's up to you to decide. My job is to record the results and determine the second finalist.

Alex_R vs KobRa_RR
The save is at turn 131; they will finish the game by Wednesday, hopefully.
There's no point in starting a new game – there might be delays again...

There was a message like that, but in the SoY tournament thread, and you've already played up to game 131.

Guys, come on, have some decency, ;) there's only one match left, we should have played the final a long time ago.

To Nagan-4. Both teams apologize. We should finish the game in the near future. They are gathering...

Thank you for the information, I will be waiting.

We wasted a bunch of restarts, even one due to a crooked template — that's why it took so long to play. :smile43:
111 4 heroes (2 money-getters) Gosha visited a stable with 100 upgraded +10 regular skeletons, gets Offense 2nd level + I see a Griffin Conservatory = Chocolate.
112 (Griffin Conservatory 2-4 without upgraded) 5th hero Grindan broke through a two-way portal into the underground with Gosha: 80+ upgraded 20+ regular skeletons, but only 1 soul remained from the ogre.
113 I take a Necromancer secondary, under it a Griffin Conservatory, I check the MINIMAL!
Gosha attacks with a buyback of skeletons from the secondary and 65 upgraded + 34 regular skeletons + 1 angel remain. 7 heroes.
114 Gosha with expert Offense, basic Earth Magic, advanced Necromancy, and basic Armorer. 8 heroes.
115 Not very successfully sent skeletons on a carousel, resulting in 50+50. I see another Griffin Conservatory.
116 A Griffin Conservatory level 2 with upgraded, I didn't dare attack since there's no ogre; parameters 2-3 with basic Armorer.
117 At home a Necromancy Conservatory with a Citadel, in the secondary Vampires with a Citadel. Average amount of gold.
121 Revealed another Griffin Conservatory near the capital.
122 I take the minimal, a Dwarf Cottage for 20 and a couple of blocks, I become an expert in Necromancy and Earth Magic, but still without Slow. Skeletons 145+54.
123 Took a Medusa's Lair and a Crypt, aiming for the Metro.
124 Took a Necro secondary, and at home and in another secondary there are already Castles, a shame there's no Sulfur :(
125 Maneuvers.
126 I attack the far Griffin Conservatory level 2 with a scout hero, and then with Gosha I take a 2-4 which turned out to have 3 angels, transfer to the frontline Torgrim, who with 6 angels takes the Red capital, there I buy back with Gosha, but I'm afraid to sit in the Citadel — I exit! The Reds on their turn also recapture their capital with a scout hero and buy back Shakti there, who chases my Gosha away by attacking with 9 horses, 4 angels, 76 Troglodytes, 5 pegasi, and units of 1. I have 2+4 angels... we trade blows — 2 angels lost and I bought back.
127 I buy back in the nearest secondary and, taking all my might, march to the Red capital again. (6 heroes)
131 The opponent ran away with the growth, and I take the empty capital.
132 I take his native secondary Dungeon with Vidomina. (10 heroes)
133 Gosha runs to the grassy secondary (where the horses graze).
134 Shakti runs out of the darkness and falls one tile short of my first secondary. I buy up to the maximum: 4+1+1+1 upgraded Witches, 18 Vampires, 37 Zombies, and 25 Skeletons, and put Ulund from the prison there (0-4-4-5), while Gosha is a couple of tiles short of reaching the Red's last castle (Rampart).
135 The Red's attack with 2 angels and congratulate us on victory.
Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

A great victory!

Let's see those save files!

Let's see those saves!

111-122
123-135

Thus, the teams of two glorious clans from the forum made it to the final of the "Spring 2009" team tournament: "Order of the Phoenix" (Dubrovin Pavel, vitalic, Vigo) and "Homo Homini" (vbn, Alex_R, ewgeniy, Aldegir).
From the very first rounds, the finalists demonstrated the seriousness of their intentions, taking 1st place in the group tournaments and then defeating experienced opponents in the semifinals.
I would like to express my gratitude to the teams that took 3rd and 4th places - "Armageddon" (LeBron, Wic, Pit for LM, Javdet, Dirty_Player, KobRa_RR) and "Zaurs" (Lesgor, Chydozavr, Volland, Kebazavr) for their participation; they definitely put up a good fight.

Now, let's move on to the final itself. As you already know, I am passing on the responsibilities for organizing and judging the upcoming team tournaments and clan wars to our esteemed Ta Kotoraya...
It is a great honor for me that Tanya has agreed to take on this difficult task; I am absolutely certain that the tournaments and clan wars with her organizational skills will become even better. All questions and suggestions regarding future championships should now be directed to her.
My only request is to consider awarding the champion; I was unable to arrange for medals, perhaps Tatiana will be able to make it happen. That's all on this matter.

The teams are evenly matched, and there will be a fierce battle, with possible controversial situations.
Since the Players' Council has not yet been officially approved, and almost half of the council members are playing in the final (Dubrovin Pavel from "Order of the Phoenix," Alex R and vbn from "Homo Homini"), I, as a judge, cannot delegate all questions to someone officially.

Therefore, I ask the players Pit for LM, Scorp, LeBron, Mizrael (council members), and Dirty_Player (a person helping with the organization of the tournaments) to help me in case of an emergency. In the event of a controversial situation in private matches, you will inform me of your decision; since there are 5 votes, I will make a decision based on the majority vote.
Although I very much hope that the final, no matter how intense it may be, will take place in a fair fight, without squabbles, as it does not befit strong players.

As for the colors, we flipped a coin, and "Homo Homini" will play red in games 1 and 3. However, the team captains can agree among themselves who will play with which color. The final will last for two weeks, until June 7th, inclusive.

I would like to wish both teams good luck!
