Good luck to you, Kash, and your entire team!

Thank you for the game.

Queen 17 (Red, Dungeon, Gunar, Gunar) def [St] (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) 2SM4d(3) 1.4.3

Lost, confirming!

HeadHunter (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Zybr (blue, Fortress, KregHag, KregHag) 2sm4d(3), 1.3.5
The map was good, only there weren't enough trees. In the first week, I built levels 1, 2, 4, and 6 in the castle, and on the 3rd day, I built a secondary castle (Barbarians). In the second week, I built a third castle. Artifacts dropped for magic - in the end, I got a spell with 11 power and lightning with 310 power. I encountered my opponent with Rocs and Hydras; the Rocs died, and the Hydras fled. I went to my opponent's castle to take it, but it was empty. A scout took the castle. My opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game!

I am withdrawing from the "Novichok-2009" tournament.

HeadHunter (red, Castle, Valessa, Valessa) def Zybr (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 2sm4d(3), 1.3.5

Confirmed.
Well, generally speaking, the layout wasn't great from the start. Well, except maybe Desa to help, and the gloves behind the pack of evil eyes. But first I broke through the griffins, entered the swamp, took the town, then the crypt, then the infamous gloves... well, and then... and then nothing interesting: if the opponent has everything on fast roads, then I have to trudge everything through the steppes. When I saw the opponent, I thought I'd catch him off guard, not knowing that there were both roads and destructive magic there. Well, something like that...
Thanks for the game. A little bit of experience for my piggy bank:)

I am withdrawing from the "Novichok-2009" tournament.

Guys, please assess your strength and time realistically. And spare the organizers' time and energy – they are not made of steel, believe me. Accepted. I think you understand how the organizers of future tournaments will react to such a decision.

Instead of [St], I agree to play against Pradromalo (ICQ 285757198), despite the loss in his record. I ask Pradromalo to reread the rules and then join the game.

Thank you!
I'm ready to crush everyone!

If this isn't your clone, then you can.

Well, regardless, the games are already in full swing, and the groups have been formed.

Someone will inevitably drop out. It's unavoidable, unfortunately...

Van – he’s been put on standby; I can’t help with anything else right now. Try again tomorrow; we couldn’t coordinate today.

gen (blue, Rampart, Kyrr, Kyrr) def ZYbr (red, Swamp, Bron, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 1.3.4
On the first generated map, Kyrr showed up without archers, but instead had 2 native heroes, and 5+6 archers for hero 1 and 5 for hero 2 :) Fast roads... too bad the opponent took a restart.
After the restart - 1 road, slow. Both heroes without archers...
1.1-1.3 A dwarf dwelling, a Tree of Knowledge, and a library are visible. I break through the guard to the 2nd secondary town (a group of pegasi).
I take out 2 stacks of harpy hordes in a row, losing the remainder of my centaurs, and capture the secondary town - Inferno. Visible in different parts of it: a medusa dwelling, 2 dwarf dwellings, 3 imp dwellings.
GO to the opponent - stoning a group of Minotaurs.
1.4-1.5 - I build efreeti, take out a horde of zombies, and dismiss 2 archers so they don't slow me down. Near the Inferno, a teleport is visible (likely from the opponent).
1.5 - 1.6 I set up at my native respawn on the dwarf dwelling. At the native town - week 1 day 6 with a citadel, at the Inferno - efreeti.
2.1 - The dwarf dwelling is taken (I upgraded to unicorns for speed). For most of the rest of the game, I run around with a setup of 3 upgraded unicorns and 2 efreeti, which were later taken out by snipers in 2 volleys. I don't need more for cleanup yet, and in case "if" - scouts will deliver.
2.2 - 2.3 - Shield of the Dead, capture of a 2nd secondary town - Castle. At the Inferno, Rasha is hired, who clears the respawn.
2.4 - 2.5 - Rasha scouted a minimal Griffin Conservatory, Papa heads to the 3rd secondary town, clearing a pre-maximum crypt along the way. At the 2nd secondary town - another Griffin Conservatory (far), 2 crypts, and a metro.
2.6 - Rasha finally crashed at the conservatory... maybe he could have taken it, but he lacks meat. :eek:... 13 griffins remain.
The main hero discovers another Naga Bank.
2.7 - Capture of the 3rd secondary town and building a lookout there. Economy development everywhere. At the main town - a castle, at the Inferno - a citadel.
3.1 - The opponent's main hero appears. He stops near 100 Minotaurs with a couple of Hydras and Wyverns. I'm horrified thinking he might try to kill them ;)
I head Papa towards him, picking up an artifact +3 Knowledge behind 100 Goblins and robbing a minimal bank along the way. I also managed to get an Angel from the new growth.
3.2 - 3.3 With 15,000 gold I head to join forces - I managed to buy all the unicorns but not the silver pegasi... No mana. I didn't get to buy the archers. And everything else... I didn't expect the opponent to attack 9 unicorns with such a weak army.
The opponent's main hero broke through the guard - a group of Monks - and visited the scout. At the crossroads between my "bare" secondary town and my Papa on his turn 3.5, he finally attacks me.
Final battle: He - 4/8/2/2, expert Logistics and Armorer, advanced Offense, basic Wisdom and Earth Magic. 2 Hydras, 3 Wyverns... didn't check his mana.
Me: 6/9/5/4 (slightly more artifacts and the hero is "older"), expert: Archery, Logistics, Earth Magic, and Offense. 9 upgraded unicorns and 2 silver pegasi.
Wait - attack... wait - attack, on the last turn Blind landed on the Hydras, so I didn't lose anyone except 1 pegasus to retaliation.
Thanks to the opponent for the game.

gen (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def ZYbr (red, Fortress, Bron, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 1.3.4

Confirmed. First time, immediately blocking with boars and gr. fairies. I think, why bother hero-ing, and I take rest.
Second time... well here the gloves are at Castle behind the golems, I take them immediately on 111, then I candle the pit lords on the path to the secondary. On the 3rd-4th hero Tazar arrives — I hit them with him using Bron's wasps and wyverns. I was 1 tile short of the Rampart secondary (because I took max crypts along the way). Wood persistently wasn't given (and if it was, it was under guard that was simply inconvenient to go and take; although maybe it was worth it). Well, because of the wood, I couldn't place either elves, or hydras, or cows in the first week. During the second week I looted some stuff, leveled up a bit, but it was all kind of dreary and inattentive. I went into the subway, took a mine, got scared of the guards there — climbed back out. Went to clear my own respawn. Stumbled upon fanatics — ruthlessly killed them. As it turned out, I had reached my opponent. Scouted, saw Kyrre, got wrecked on her unicorns.
Thanks for the game.
