Please register me, I will be learning! :) Erdem 200532442

Accepted, added to group B

Kostya, I saw your message after I posted mine, so I confirm :)

I ask my opponents in the group, with whom I haven't played yet, to be active. My ICQ is 442018688, and I'm online most of the time. I'm waiting ;)

Added after 14 hours 7 minutes

I suggest a full random setup to all future opponents in advance!

I don't know about you, but I like this idea. There should definitely be a certain element of randomness, and there are no absolutely unbeatable combinations of factions. Of course, there are difficult options, but that makes it even more interesting. IMHO=[U]

The combination of factions is slightly more advantageous for me, IMHO, and my minor mistakes were compensated at the most opportune moment by a successful resistance to blindness of 60 crusaders. As a result, I won with about 37 minotaurs, 16 crusaders, and 7 champions against about 17 goats and about 10 ogres. My opponent conceded. Thank you for the game. 1-0

2-0

If I'm not mistaken, my opponent had the first and second battles on Tier 3.
For the first time, I played pretty well.

We lost the first battle, and played randomly in the second. I was lucky with the Swamp.

The battles were fast-paced, without any special tactics; the Gorgons managed to perform well.

Thanks for the game!

Yes, it was... we'll keep learning. Thanks for the game!

Neoandy (red, Dungeon, Inferno, Rampart) def Wlk777 (red, Stronghold, Dungeon).
I didn't have much time left, I was in a hurry, I chose the wrong bonus, and left the game, thinking that auto-play wasn't that important in this game, but it turned out to be otherwise. The auto-play helped me win the match, and I won it more than once... But I won't go into details about why, but I think it would be fair to record this match as a loss for me. Thank you for the game.
1-1

I'm waiting for everyone who wants to play in a tournament.

Neoandy (red, Dungeon, Inferno, Rampart) def Wlk777 (red, Stronghold, Dungeon).
I was short on time and in a hurry, I chose the wrong bonus, and left the game, thinking that the AI wouldn't be that important in this game. Turns out I was wrong. The AI gave me a win, and I won the match, and not just once... But I won't go into details about why, but I think it would be fair to record this match as a loss for me. Thank you for the game.

Valentin, did you even read what you wrote? :) Please reread and correct it, at least the header of the report.

[/U]Wlk777 (blue, dungeon, castle) def Neoandy (red, stronghold, inferno)
The combination of castles is slightly better for me, in my opinion, and my minor mistakes were compensated at the most opportune moment by a successful resistance to Blindness 60, resulting in a victory with about 37 Minotaurs, 16 Cruisers, and 7 Champions remaining against about 17 Goats and about 10 Ogres; my opponent quit. Thank you for the game.
1-0

That happened. This set of lucky breaks was unbeatable (2 resistances to Blindness + paralysis on the Cats and no bonuses for me).

And then this happened, but not quite as expected. We played that scenario over and over again until we were tired of it, and we agreed to play a new game from scratch, with a clean slate and a clean win. Valentin got Necropolis and Tower in the new game and was upset that he couldn't take his favorite Water faction. Inferno and Rampart took Air just in case and quickly defeated the blue team with mass haste.

Thank you for the games!

It was there, but not quite the same.

So, after losing the first game, Neo started arguing that I was rushing him, which is why he made mistakes. I agreed to a rematch. When the game was nearing its end with my clear advantage, a strange disconnect occurred. Then, there were a couple more games with a 1-1 result. We decided to play a new game, I made a mistake with the deck, and asked for a re-shuffle. I believe that in response to what was essentially a forgiven loss, it would have been logical for him to accommodate me, but that didn't happen. I probably shouldn't have started playing in the first place; it was just a reflex, driven by frustration with the opponent's behavior. Of course, I can't really complain, as everything was technically correct – I asked for an auto-shuffle, which is not allowed in the tournament (although I suspected that in TC3 it wasn't such a big deal). I have no complaints about the opponent, but I've drawn my own conclusions from this.

It was... Thank you for the game.

Forrest (blue, Castle, Stronghold) def KostyaN (red, Castle, Inferno). 1:0

We probably came up with a double-edged strategy. Although many would say that I was already losing from the start, the better overall speed, plus 2 uncountered units (devils and dogs), gave me some chances. Besides, I could have tried a berserker rush, but for some reason, I thought the chance of getting the artifact from it was too high.

I took earth magic and melee skills, and for units: 764 - humans and 763 - inferno, plus 23 griffins. He has water magic and a cloak, 764 and 754 + 46 griffins (already an advantage due to a more complete purchase, since the Stronghold is noticeably cheaper than the Inferno).

Both of us use basic tactics, so at first, only wards are cast, then everything goes into defense, but he casts slow on my archers and griffins, and he defends with ogres and bears in the corner. In the next turn, after the slow, a blind spell flies at my archers, and I respond by casting slow on his archers and then using imps to attack his birds, and devils to attack the birds - minus 5 imps, minus 20 birds. In the 2nd round, I move the devils behind the tent and, as if, protect them with 15 imps. Here, I realize my mistake - I shouldn't have flown the imps in that round: they would have been better off, and I wouldn't have had to waste a turn moving 2 of my fastest units back, that was probably the key mistake... In the end, I decided to go for it and, as if, the dogs attack his bears that moved forward. Then comes a mocking mass heal, and I start to feel really bad:rolleyes: ... And already 2 of his stacks - ogres with bears - have come out to the middle of the field, so in the next round, everyone will be able to attack everyone else, while it's not beneficial for me to attack with horses anyway (and with a charge, I could have attacked the bears for -2...). In the 2nd round, I naively moved the dogs one square forward so that, if anything, they could at least reach the horses in the next round:D. The horses attack first, dealing -40+ to the dogs:( :( :(. And the archers with bears attack my blinded units, leaving either 3 or 4, and all of them survive (and the birds' lightning bolt of 200 also helped!). With the remaining archers, I brought the dogs up to almost 70. I cast oil and made the stupidest mistake!!!:smile18: I moved the devils! Thus, after the heal, the archers could attack them, dealing -1 to each immediately. The archers dealt damage to the horses, and I attacked with my own as much as I could, and added with griffins - 9 horses remained. With imps, counting on their ability, I attacked the archers with another full stack, but they didn't even kill one of themselves:(, while I only had 4 sultans left, the bears dealt a good amount of damage, leaving something like 4 or 5 archers (or is that already the sum of the devil's attack?... I don't remember exactly). With the dogs that survived the melee - under 40 - I decided to block the path of the bears with an attack, and they only took 3 from 60:mad: :smile32: - and died there. In general, I looked at his 10 bears, 60 ogres, 57 bears + half stacks of the rest, and only my full normal stack of bears, and decided not to continue. I can't use mass magic properly, even if you force me:confused: ...

Thanks, Tolyan, for the game! I'm not making any progress, I don't need to. I think I'm only getting worse:D ...

P.S. I really feel the same way as after playing chess against me (a simple, unrated amateur) with a Candidate Master (Dirty Player), I know the basics of the theory and I'm trying something, but I have no chance!

Forrest (Barbarian) def KoстяN (Inferno) Water with +2 speed. There's also earth with +2. After the initial engagements, no one wanted to fly to the other side. I blocked the Archons from the Devils. I blinded the Archons. I was also blinded, and the Devils and Efreeti flew to my side. Then they flew away, giving the tempo for a restructuring. When, after the initial engagements, there was a threat that Kostyan wouldn't cast a spell, he cast Blind on the Bears. I healed. And with Bears, Birds, and Archons, I attacked the Archons, leaving 3. This was the beginning of the end. Then followed a mass attack and a spell from the Devils. I piled Archons on the Devils and attacked everyone with everything. In the end - victory. Thanks for the game, Kostya.

P.S. Honestly, the feeling is roughly the same as after playing chess against a Candidate Master (Dirty Player) – I'm just a casual, unranked player. I know the basics of the theory and try to do something, but I have no chance!

As long as you think like that, you really don't have a chance! To win, you need to be determined to win and actually want to win, not just play.

Forrest (Dungeon faction) def KoстяN (Necropolis faction)

Took +2 speed, offensive defense, and air immunity, as I was worried about archers.
They attack. I see liches and fanatics, which look like archers, and also archers covering the liches. I was using white archers before this. But if there's a Berserker, why not use it right away?!
I'm using mass haste. I dealt a lot of damage, including taking out liches through vampires.
The Berserker flies towards the archers and medusas. The archer attacks the ballista. In the second round, I blind the archers and destroy almost everything. Then they surrender. GG. Thanks for the game.
