Reports of the "Clan Wars: on-line (Summer-2009)" Tournaments Auto-translated

LeBron (red, Tower, Neela, Charna) def Scorp (blue, Barbarian, Gurnisson) 122 2sm4d(3)

They took all possible resource nodes, including 2 per turn (it became quite expensive for Scorp due to the internet connection :o). As a result, they got a level 2 unit without delay and blocked the path (20-40 Orcs). They went around and, at level 115, barely made it to the secondary resource with a difficult fight, breaking through the wolf guard. They found a route and, on their last breath, used mages and nagas. At level 121, they managed to take a minor artifact. They were planning to take 2 more, but the opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game!

Javdet (blue, ramp, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Aldegir (red, Castle, Valya, Valya) 2sm4d3 215

Near town, griffins guarding the chains on the way; the opponent wanted to surrender, but a saving movement cell was found.
From mid-second week to mid-third in the treasure zone, raised parameters, got all of level 4, I rush to visit. ГО 120 liches and 19 gold dragons fall with the loss of 1 horse and 2 elves, 137 took the capital.
All of week 4 I ran around stat boosters, Pandoras, and a bit for money, which was scarce. On 211, Valya returns home and casts View Earth.
A scout hero in the treasure zone found a Helm of Heavenly Enlightenment, I decide to play it safe and surrender the town with the remaining unpurchased dwarves, pegasuses, and centaurs, finish leveling Water Magic and attack.
Kyrre 16 31 21 250 mana, View Earth, Water Magic, Tactics, Armorer; 9 angels, 15 griffins, 45 royal griffins, 75 grand elves, 105 dwarves, 8 pegasuses, and over 100 centaurs.
Valya 28 21 14, 250 mana; 12 angels, 12 champions, 56 marksmen, 46 Wyverns, 15 crusaders, single faeries.
Valya moves first — Mass Slow for 22 mana, bad, that means Expert Air too — Mass Haste is cancelled, I cast Prayer, blocked the grand elves and also get Berserker cast on them in round 2 — I certainly didn't expect Expert Fire on top of Earth and Air, Resistance worked on the grand elves, but the 50% dwarf resistance didn't save them. I Implosion the angels, then the Wyverns, and summoning 84 Efreet Sultans along with the Efreet Bottle allowed my team to secure the first victory.

Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game... I'll just say this game was already a gift to me, and I think it wouldn't be fair if I suddenly won :) (Although I tried to win, it didn't work out). The point is that this was already a do-over... In the first winning game, after driving back the rushing Kyrre, I made a red rush by attacking the scout hero, and after a long wait, Roma decided not to take the victory but to give me another chance. Thanks for that decision, even though I wasted the chance :( (it's nicely said in Roma's signature about the chance). But I'm still sorry about the first game... my inattention ruined me again... Sorry to the team for yet another loss... I probably need to take a break from Heroes.. (at least from team matches where something depends on my play overall)....... sort out family issues and then start playing again with nothing getting in the way.... Once again, sorry :( :(

LeBron (red, Tower, Neela, Charna) def Scorp (blue, Barb, Gurnisson) 122 2sm4d(3)

Thanks for the game!

Confirmed
111 - two roads, need to break through everywhere, chose one direction due to more experience (6 heroes)
112 - scout runs ahead and seeing a portal there thought he chose the right path, most likely the 2nd road led to ГО (although grass was visible there - then ГО does not exist - that's what happened, a picture will be attached)
113 - broke through 10-19 upgraded demons, on the other side 50-99 wolves - their lucky morale and minus a bird, captured the mercenary camp (upgraded imps)
114 - capture of the Conflux, and return to the dwarf dwelling
115 - upgraded wolves return - but it's the minimum ((
and here I make a mistake attacking 44 gold golems - a total loss and they broke the catapult
117 - recapturing the external dwelling of water elementals and redeeming them, resulting in 1,2,5 at home in the citadel + an artifact for +5 dogs, in the Conflux a water elemental in the citadel + their external dwelling
Not a single Griffin Conservatory and an unclear ГО, which was guarded by rocks - gave no chance to delay the opponent.

Thanks for the game!
P.S.: sorry for not living up to expectations.

3 round
Riders of Apocalypse – Order of the Phoenix

Captain(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def SpiriTT(red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 142
On week 1, day 1-2 I took a Necropolis secondary town, the opponent on week 1, day 1-4 took their native Fortress, on week 1, day 1-5 I took Rampart. By the end of the week at home, Citadel 1-4, in Rampart, elves in the Citadel, on week 2, day 1-1 they are upgraded.
Then I fought 98 Knights without magic for a Cyclops' Cuirass and take another secondary town - Tower. There I saw a Griffin Conservatory - 3. I find a Shield +5, an artifact for magic +2/+2 and go into the treasure zone, where at the entrance I see two Pandora's Boxes, in one there is all level 4 magic, near the second I find the opponent, he loses troops heavily to Gorgons (without mass magic) and surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

It’s still better to sleep at night. Thank you for the game.

3rd turn
Knights of the Apocalypse – Order of the Phoenix

Captain(blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def SpiriTT(red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 142

There were 3 of them... SpiriTT, Captain and the neutrals... SpiriTT couldn't handle the competition...
It all started on the second day. When the crusaders attacked, they suddenly realized that he had to lose: several morale crosses showed the gnomes where to spend the winter, and a significant portion of them decided it was time to move on... On the other hand, Tazar found his native secondary—it seemed everything was great, but by the 4th day it became clear—there is no money... The crisis hit the swamp kingdom...
But an economist by education and a defender by trade, Tazar managed to fix the economy and buy some Hydras; moreover, with a Stronghold, he was quite the warrior...
They didn't buy anything in their own second house because there was nothing to spend.
The topographer reported that he couldn't make out the map and the Enemies were far away... Tazar weighed all the pros and cons and realized it was time to go after the neutrals—after all, the underground lord has a long way to travel to reach our lands. But apparently one of the morale crosses survived and told all his comrades what needed to be done.
And so began that great campaign into the wealthiest lands of the treasury...
And then it took off. There were no problems attacking the first Hive, as Tazar was "not a novice." But the manticores of the second Hive, though few in number, were upgraded beasts that paralyzed the unfortunate hydras and commanded the rest to attack... The hydra struggled in agony... There was nothing to be done; with 1 hydra, Tazar didn't risk fighting the serpents in a fast battle. Result—the losses continue... Then Intelligence reported 3 more Hives nearby. He skipped one, because long ago those one-eyed freaks with stones in their hands had beaten Tazik same-old same-old, but the black knights and brown kind birds didn't look as threatening... Tazar was carelessly overconfident.... Multiple wounds took a lot of troops. Meanwhile, a financier from the home house arrived... He says there is no money—things are bad, we need to go to the bank and take a loan. When they removed the guards and the bank itself took the first installment (and it's all that nasty school of morale's fault)—a bunch of wyverns, how disappointing... Then the Kind birds, who were probably taught morale by that same unfortunate crusader, also borrowed a few wyverns just like everyone else... And lizards aren't made of rubber either...
The black knights turned out to be more pliable—perhaps the crusader didn't have enough time to teach them how to use morale (Tazar was surprised by this; he already realized that this wasn't his war). Meanwhile, the Adjutants started a mutiny—saying our general doesn't let us play at war—so the troops are heading back to the rear, back to the bank. And Tazik, emboldened by hope, runs after the last (already new Hive) and a beautiful Tuol shield; the Tuol shield-makers are famous throughout the kingdom for their skill. But the wicked Black Knights had already sharpened their axes... The bank fell with the loss of a bunch of wyverns, and that nasty crusader was here too: morale hit, and... 30 lizards... and they had wives, many had children... Tazar fired the adjutant; the chain brought new recruits, still inexperienced... Of all the wyverns won back in bloody battles, only 12 remained, and there were only 2 hydras left... oh the horror!!! The crusader realized that black knights are a difficult people, but among them are understanding folk, "upgraded" so to speak... Well, they hit with a second strike 4 out of 6 times per battle. Tazik picked up the shield and ran home to lick his wounds. He went for advice from the wise griffins; they traded a couple of wyverns for 4 angels—hope once again...
Our general had a childhood weakness for trinkets, and it was so close, that same reflection shimmering in the rays of the swamp light beckoned him... Tazik went after the black bulls, terrible creatures, and according to legend, deadly dangerous. But Tazar wasn't a coward; he boldly attacked. And everything would have been fine...
One spiteful creature remained!!!! Only 1!!! Probably this is the one the crusader was talking to... 1 upgraded gorgon, a beast not finished off by wyverns, hits the angels (without retaliation); an angel died instantly from a fatal disease. But that wasn't enough—morale—and she hits the hydras!!!! And what do you think??? The hydra also dies with the same symptoms... The loot box didn't please the level 16 Tazar anymore. Despite maxed-out logistics, earth and water magic, and 4 Dragon Utopia in perspective, the Valiant general laid down his arms.
He simply gave up. I haven't seen this much morale probably in the last ten games.
Thanks for the game, author, and for your patience.
P.S. My apologies to the team; I was depressed by family problems, had no mood or drive. Even if I hadn't been playing poorly—I wouldn't have managed... Sorry

I suggest that the team captains finalize the remaining matches.
Our clan, the Order of the Phoenix, still doesn't have players for rounds 4 and 5.

Vampires - who from your team will participate and who would like to play against us?

Homo Homini - who from your team will play the last match? - Erdëm, He3Hauka, or someone else?

5th round
SpiriTT (blue, Conflux, random = Gelare, Gundula) def Alessandro (red, Castle, Valeska, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3), 137, TE-light
They let me play Conflux – didn't expect that. I took 1 restart and we began. On the first week, Gundula appeared, straight into the main hero, since there was no one else. I reveal 2 crypts, GO external dwellings of air elementals, water elementals, and fire elementals. On the very first day, I hit 13 gold golems for the air elemental dwelling. The next day, the water elemental dwelling is revealed, but I don't buy – not enough money. A passage to the underground is revealed for 10–19 snipers; on the secondary in the grass – 20–49 monks. I think I'm stuck, since there's nowhere to go. Nearby, across rough terrain, 20–49 dragonflies – good, I go there, losing everyone except the air elementals. After that, I fight for money, reveal the Griffin Conservatory, take a secondary hero – a ram. There's money there too; the main hero moves closer to the base, preparing to take the Conservatory. End of the week – birds in the Stronghold. On the second week, I scrounge around for buyout funds. On day 124, I dive into the Conservatory throne – level 3. I take it, losing birds and almost all the troops. Then I hit the monks at the passage, the monks near the Pandora's box, next to the castle – there are 39 of them with a big stack. They killed 2 birds!
But in the Pandora's box – gold. On the third week, I buy the bare minimum; the scout hero brought leather gloves to the main. I go into the underground, there I see the blue player and Kyrre within reach. I attack. A desync occurred during the battle. I had 2 birds, 30 air elementals, and 4 psychics left. The opponent had 40 poisoners, 2 monks, and 15 swordsmen. We discussed it in ICQ – decided to just replay the fight, since it was hard to remember the moves. Battle result – 4 birds, an angel, a psychic, and 20 air elementals remained. Kyrre buys her way out. I go to her respawn; Ciele reveals the Conservatory – I buy the remaining troops, dive in... MAX!!! I was afraid to lose, but Mass Slow and Mass Stone Skin allowed me to take the 4 feathered ones. Then, after 2 days, I storm Kyrre in the capital. 5 angels gave no chance.
Thanks for the game.

Round 5
SpiriTT (blue, Conflux, random = Jelar, Gundula) def. Alessandro (red, Fortress, Waleska, Kir) 2sm4d(3), 137, TE-light

It happened. I didn't play well. Thank you for the game! We should play again sometime! After the light, with 1800+300, I want to play more.

Dirty_Player (Conflux, random=Labetha, Crag Hack) draw Javdet (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 147

Interesting game. Both had double builds. On the first week I finally put birds in the fort. The game was dragging on a bit, with slow roads. On the third week I built a second Conflux and put in a level 5 guild (Fly) and took a Dragon Utopia (gave junk). On the fourth week I stuck my nose into the opponent's territory for some reason. Shakti attacked. His army was several times larger, but I had the stats. In the end I had to flee and seek my fortune in the treasure zone. We decided not to suffer, but just to part in peace. Thanks for the game, Roma!

Dirty_Player (Conflux, random=Labetha, Crag Hack) draw Javdet (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 147

Interesting game. Both had double builds. On the first week I put birds in the fort after all. The game was somewhat sluggish, with slow roads. On week 3 I built the second Conflux and got the 5th guild (Fly) and took a Dragon Utopia (gave junk). On week 4 I poked into the opponent for some reason. Shakti attacked. His army was several times larger, but I had the stats. In the end I had to flee and seek fortune in the treasure zone. We decided not to suffer and just go our separate ways in peace. Thanks for the game, Roman!

A bit unlucky. While I was running around the treasure zone, Kostya was marching across scorched earth and thus lost about 5 days. But the treasure zone turned out to be weak on stats. Kept giving all air, but there wasn't enough Wisdom for control. In a nook I see the Book of Fire — but didn't dare to hit — Cyclops Kings. I desperately needed a Dragon Utopia to fix my finances — didn't find one.
In the final, I thought I would win (stats and maybe some magic), but 3 strong stacks of Minotaurs, Scorpicores, and Beholders pulled through. Didn't notice how Mass Slow covered my dragons too — paid for it with half a stack of Beholders, but I timely casted Counterstrike (rarely use this thing). Kostya left without troops, I had 16 Scorpicores, 9 frenzied Militia, about 50 gr Beholders, and an Angel. We decided to part peacefully.

Thanks for the game.

Pit for LM (blue, Castle, Valeska, Enova) def Blackpoint (red, Tower, Ain, Isra), 2sm4d(3), 115. After all the restarts, the Tower didn't have a favorable setup, while the Castle did. Thank you for the game.

Round 3 (07.08.09 - 17.08.09)
Many as One – Homo Homini

Mizrael(red, Tower, Aine, Moner) def Vbn(Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 213

Started without restarts; exit from the castle via tunnel in one direction, but there is a conservatory and plenty of chests. Immediately took a sword +2 atk/def, and Jabarkas and Moner arrived, meaning no problems with "papa" are foreseen. Two roads: ГО and dragonflies; had nowhere else to go, so I had to break through the dragonflies, where there was another fork. Didn't want to fight Obsidian Gargoyles, took another path and ran into the dragonflies guarding the passage to the sands. A desert with a secondary dwelling didn't seem right—clearly something was off—so I had to go back and kill the gargoyles (Jeb pulled through thanks to offense and 10 attack). End of week: nagas at home in the stronghold, same-faction one-way market, external dwelling for caps and gargs. Moner was given earth magic; decided to make him "papa". At 122, Monya takes a max medusa dwelling; army is 4 nagas and a hundred caps. Expert earth is urgently needed, but as luck would have it, the experience is far away due to terrain quirks. Had to wind through the respawn, gathering whatever was fattest—like a female dwarf and some strange guards who guard nothing—obviously this is the passage to adjacent snow, where my own secondary dwelling should be... broke through and sent a scout. 126 - enough experience now, so I teleport home, +1 knowledge, and via well into the naga-bank (level and Mass Slow from its guards). End of week: giants at home in the castle, "papa" is standing before the first conservatory.
131 - 9 nagas and a hundred caps break the max dwelling using Mass Slow; Monya immediately teleports to the secondary dwelling (there's another conservatory nearby).
132 - +1 angel; "papa" moves with the money bag toward the barbarian earth guard (didn't risk haste, thought it was the opponent's respawn). Turned out to be a short run through barbarians and metro to Inferno.
134 - left the money bag for the losers in Inferno for two medusa dwellings, while "papa" teleports home again and heads into the sands via well. Scouts finally figured out what's what—a sandy treasure zone, which leads to my own secondary dwelling along the road.
136 - own secondary dwelling, right under it is Dragon Utopia; planned to go there the next day, but it turned out to be a max dwelling... got a bit nervous and decided to gut the conservatory beneath it first and then hit it with the growth delivery.
141 - +4 angels, delivery of nagas, gargs, and gogs to clear Dragon Utopia; fell without loss of angels and nagas (helmet +10, armor 4 atk/def, book of air, boots of levitation), "papa" sat down to replenish mana.
142 - teleport home, haste before ГО on angels. Really messed up this turn: a scout in a wagon found boots and, out of joy, didn't even think to teleport him immediately; the same happened with another scout who found earth sight—should have teleported him instantly to get the skill.
143 - boots were brought only now, and sight was delayed by a turn; as a result, Moner is 1 cell short of the blue capital (with sight he would have flown straight where needed, and boots would have just provided a margin) and is forced to spend the night in a narrow passage so the money bag isn't carried past him.
144 - castle fell, and "papa" flew immediately over the mountains via metro to the treasure zone, which he gathered until the end of the week.
147 - smooth transition to treasure zone number two and overnight stay in the portal of glory.
211 - Dragon Utopia (sword +5 all, titan cuirass, and necklace +3 all), also took two artifacts for +1 speed—saw Gurni had +2 speed, took them as a backup.
212 - teleported home, money bag immediately there too, since Gurni stood dangerously right before ГО... However, on his turn he makes a sharp maneuver: DD into the dark and from there flies straight to my Inferno metro...
213 - almost all time was spent on transfers, grading meat from secondary dwelling, teleporting "papa" into Inferno and transferring the money bag to him; as a result, in the final seconds I managed to attack Gurni. Final battle:
stats roughly equal, but I have slightly more one-way resources due to the secondary dwelling; first speed (took off the +3 all necklace in favor of +1 speed) because I attacked, while Gurni has home ground. Immediate Mass Slow; thought about it for a long time, but decided to cut down the entire stack of birds with angels right away, after which even the caps became faster than Gurni's fastest stack—shot at Vivs, and the hippos just shat themselves in fear... Took 2700 explosion damage to nagas, but wasn't too upset since I had resurrect in reserve. When Gurni's resources ran low, he started summoning earth elementals, up to 80 at a time; luckily I had more mana and the mages helped conserve it. After the battle, so much experience was given that it was enough for Moner to level up to level 22 :) Thanks for the game.

Round 3 (07.08.09 - 17.08.09)
Many as one – Homo Homini

Mizrael(red, Tower, Aine, Moner) def vbn(Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 213
Thanks for the game.

I confirm.

... crashed home, purse right there as well, since Gurni stood dangerously right in front of ГО... However, on his turn he makes a sharp maneuver, DD into the darkness and from there flies straight to my Inferno's metro...

The thing is that I approached ГО to double the mana there in the stream, and wanted to crash through ГО into the capital, but I was short by 1 step on the fast road, took the chest for nothing...

and the hippogriffs just go and soil themselves from fear...

8 units of hippogriffs - really let me down. Also, Moner had a Golden Bow, and I thought you'd slow me down and take me out in the 1st round with a direct arrow, so I was afraid to set up on tactics. Until the end of the fight, I didn't even realize that there was a Bow... Noob... :o

Thanks for the game!

Dirty_Player (Tower, Neela, Neela) def Dreamcatcher (Stronghold, Dessa, Dessa) 2sm4d(3) 122
The game didn't work out, but thanks anyway for the time spent.

P.S.: I've finished all my games! Hooray! Now I just need to cheer for our guys! :smile12: Now it's time for a break from Heroes.......
