I can't seem to play a tournament with Rawas and Riorraw - they've disappeared. Question - what should I do?

Answer - try to contact them and save the chat logs. What else can I suggest?

481150763 I want that too :)

481150763 I want one too :)

It happens... I want one too, but unfortunately, it's not possible right now. I finally got access to a computer - I'll now report to the community about the past week :)

Added 1 hour 9 minutes ago
So...
There are still 2 weeks left until the end of the first stage.
I'm starting the countdown.

Group A
11 matches remaining:
A.S. - Monstro_aka_h3
Knyaz - A.S.
Monstro_aka_h3 - Knyaz
Avern - A.S.
~no1_knows_me~ - Monstro_aka_h3
Monstro_aka_h3 - Avern
Erdem - Monstro_aka_h3
A.S. - ~no1_knows_me~
Psyche_7 - A.S.
Monstro_aka_h3 - Psyche_7
~no1_knows_me~ - Avern

Monstro_aka_h3 fixed his internet, he appeared yesterday, but didn't find anyone. Try to find time to play with him, 6 games in 2 weeks is still possible with some effort. We need to give the guy a chance, he had a valid reason. And you should also fight for the places in the group. I will only apply technical defeats in the most extreme case, don't rely too much on them.
A.S. has problems in real life, he warned that if he manages to play something, it's good, if not, there will be technical defeats.

Group B
10 matches remaining:
AYMAN - Gomunguls
TerrorisT - gen
Drake22 - TerrorisT
gen - Drake22
Zybr - TerrorisT
HeadHunter - gen
TerrorisT - HeadHunter
Zybr - Drake22
AYMAN - TerrorisT
gen - AYMAN

gen, TerrorisT, AYMAN - you all have a chance, but each game is like a knockout, I think you understand that. Good luck.
Drake22 and Zybr are already out of the group.
If your only goal was to win the tournament and you don't want to continue further (the first three - after a defeat, although even then there may still be a chance), you can skip playing. If you want to, play, that's why we gathered here, or so it seems to me. Besides, all games will count towards the rating, technical defeats will not.

Group C
17 matches remaining (is it worth continuing?):
Ioann - DioNIX
Unicorn - BladeDance
DENCHELSEA - Lanser
DioNIX - BladeDance
Samaya-samaya - Ioann
Unicorn - DENCHELSEA
DioNIX - Samaya-samaya
BladeDance - Ioann
Lanser - Unicorn
Ioann - Unicorn
BladeDance - Lanser
DENCHELSEA - DioNIX
Lanser - Samaya-samaya
DioNIX - Lanser
Samaya-samaya - Unicorn
Unicorn - DioNIX
Lanser - Ioann

Guys, if you don't step up, DENCHELSEA and Samaya-samaya will probably be eliminated from the group, as they are the most active of you.
Lanser and Unicorn appeared today,
DioNIX hasn't been seen for a long time.
Ioann is playing now, as far as I know.
BladeDance and DENCHELSEA - jokes are jokes, but don't relax, Yulia is playing with two people today. You might lose unexpectedly. I remind you - I apply technical defeats only in the most extreme case.

Group D
10 matches remaining
riorraw - Pradromalo
rawas - Alexp
Ferz 17 - riorraw
rawas - riorraw
riorraw - geroj
geroj - Pradromalo
riorraw - Van
rawas - Ferz 17
Alexp - riorraw
Pradromalo - Alexp

riorraw - he is the only one about whom I have no information at all, as well as no login in Ace. If he doesn't appear, there will be 4 games left, that is, everything is fine, you don't have to worry, just finish playing. If he appears, try to play with him too.
Van - well done! Congratulations on qualifying for the playoffs.
The rest still have every chance to compete for second place in the group. Someone will get it.

That's all for now :) Good luck to everyone!

Most-Most (Red, Castle, Dessa, Dessa) def John (Blue, Tower, Eine, Eine) 2SM4D(3), 3.3.3

The game developed for a very long time, and then they decided to negotiate and meet on neutral territory:)
I had 4 spellbooks, 3 magic orbs, and a cloak of defiance:D I also had a significant advantage in troops:smile43:
Thanks for the game;)

Dear judges, please pay attention – the game between Ferz 17 and Geroj has been played, and Ferz 17’s winning score is not displayed in the table.

Unicorn(Red Random, Swamp. Random, Gervulf) def Samaia-samaia(Blue Random, Castle. Random, Edric)2SM4D(3) 3,2,2
The heroes took a long time loading the town selection menu, decided to play Random, and ended up with these starting towns and heroes.
On the first week, I only ran into ducks at the Citadel; on the third, I beat Conserva +3 Angels. Went the wrong way with Gervulf and lost almost a week in the Swamps:) On month 2, I capture my native secondary town, scout my second native town:smile13: . I think, well, this is it:) While the old man was stomping around clearing crypts and cyclops stockpiles, I grabbed the second native secondary town with a scout hero. Built up all three towns without upgrading, then only upgraded in one, hired, upgraded, and went to attack on 247. Attacked, captured Castle (capital), Citadel, and Tower, then Edric came and kicked me out to get reinforcements :) Hired everyone and decided to fight on 322:) Having a big advantage, I almost threw the battle nevertheless:(Got too cocky, I guess:mad: In short, it was very interesting.
Thank you for the game, Samaia-samaia. You are the very best:smile20:

The game took a long time to load the city selection menu.

Remove the maps from the Maps folder, leaving only one, but make sure it supports online (multiplayer) play. This will make it much faster.
Another tip: clean out the RandomMaps folder from time to time.

Unicorn (Red Random, Swamp. Random, Gervulf) def Samaya-samaya (Blue Random, Castle. Random, Edrik) 2SM4D(3) 3,2,2
The players spent a long time loading the city selection menu and decided to play with random starting cities and heroes, resulting in the above.

I confirm, that's exactly what happened. Unfortunately, I can't boast about having three native castles, and even two:smile50:. Nevertheless, the development was good, and there were a number of incredibly silly mistakes:smile19:, which I hope won't be repeated:smile27:. For example, I somehow didn't replenish my mana:confused:, and instead of 170, I had just under 30:cool:. And so on, and so forth...
Thank you for the interesting game:)

DENCHELSEA (Blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) def Lanser (Red, Dungeon, Shahti, Shahti) 2SM4d(3) 1.3.5 I really enjoyed the game; it was a tense battle. I was expecting one red dragon, but there were three. (Shahti and Kirr, both level 7, were placed on the second week). But I managed to get into the well while chasing Shahti, an Earth expert, and used slow and blind spells on the manticores. Thank you for the game!

ZYbr (Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def TerrorisT (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2SM4d(3) 2.1.4.

We had a leisurely chase across a strange, mountainous terrain. I reached my opponent, took the castle, defended the siege for a while, and won. :)
Thanks to my opponent for the game.

ZYbr (Blue, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def TerrorisT (Red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 2SM4d(3) 2.1.4.

We slowly chased each other across a strange, hilly terrain. I reached my opponent's castle, took it, and after some time, defended the siege and won:)
Thanks to my opponent for the game:)

I wasn't playing attentively; I went to make tea and didn't notice my opponent getting close to my castle within one turn. My opponent took the castle and bought out all the remaining troops in the castle. I had no choice but to attack, but it didn't yield any results.

But everything could have been completely different...:smile39:

Yes, I confirm that because I focused on building dragons, I ran out of money and couldn't buy an army for the final battle. Thank you for the game.

Turns out Shakhti, like Kyrre, placed a level 7 on the second week

Yes, I confirm, I ran out of money because of building dragons

Guys, what's the point of placing dragons on the second [week] if you can't afford to buy them out? :) From my noob experience, dragons are rarely placed at all, especially for Dungeon. Place troops with affordability in mind!
The same goes for buildings on the first [week].
One example is the notorious "horses in Castle", only to have no money to buy them afterwards. Often "horses in Citadel", and sometimes even in Fort, with a full buyout on 121 — this leads to faster development in the second week.
As a rule, what usually rolls is not the quantity of native troops, but hero leveling, map scouting, earlier finding and capturing of important objects — banks, high-level pickups, beehives, cans, sunken ships...
These are just thoughts out loud, not direct instructions for action :)

DENCHELSEA (Red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) def. Unicorn (Blue, Dungeon, Shahti, Shahti) 2SM4d(3) 2.4.2 Thank you for the game!

DENCHELSEA (Red, Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) def Unicorn (Blue, Dungeon, Shakhti, Shakhti) 2SM4d(3) 2.4.2 Thank you for the game!

A strange game turned out... By day 117, there were already Manticores in the Citadel. On day 126, I captured the native secondary town. On days 135-137, I built the Capitol in the native town and the Magistrate in the second castle. And then all development seemed to stop :confused:. On the entire underground map, NOT A SINGLE pile of gems :( For dragons, at one point I had everything except Gems for the Mage Guild :( Then Dessa came, well I ran around for show. I had experience winning in such situations, but I lost the towns and ultimately just got slaughtered by the Horde of Hell spawns..
Thank you for the game.
