To avoid disputes and other issues, I will state the following:
If there is no agreement on the turn time and other details, the match will be played strictly according to the regulations: 6 minutes per turn, etc.

I hope there will be no disagreements...:smile26:

Group C
AliaSmehova (red, Tower, Jenova) def. Captain (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson), 2sm4d3, 123

Thank you for the game!

Confirmed, although there are many questions. Thank you for the game.

Confirmed, although there are many questions. Thank you for the game.

I think I answered all the questions... if a person is so primitive that they can't understand detailed explanations, then there's nothing to talk about! Although, unfortunately, he turned out to be a very weak opponent in the game:smile16:

A tough case (red, tower, Nila, Nila/Kreg)))) DRAW PReDS (blue, barb, Kreg, Kreg/Shiva), Jebus Cross, 146

On the first map, I found 200 caps in boxes. Spent half of them on a sentry shield — as many as 40 djinns were guarding it (On the first 1-6, without 5 in the fort — almost surrendered immediately)) On the second, I was wiped to zero in cons-maxi — managed to pull through thanks to nags, who with 17 defense stood like a monolith against Nelka. With 4 angels, I mowed down 38 vives at the respawn. 126 - pre-maxi Dragon Utopia at home with a kettle. 127 - max level at the entrance to the treasure zone. Got a bunch of stuff for stats and Kair and Water. Nelka's parameters are off the charts, but there is no mana. Saw Kreg — broke away to replenish. Returned, picked up several Pandoras for experience, aimed for 2 untouched trees... Kreg in handcuffs attacks. Hits with an implo. Couldn't manage to treat him with a chain-hit for 1300. After numerous bolts into a huge stack of birds and air summons against a resurrect on the birds, both ГГ die))) The earned and unspent 50 Kgold in maxi-utopia goes toward buying heroes. When 4000 remained, the divine face of Kreg appeared in the tavern... It was almost an orgasm)))) Over two days I buy out new growth for 4 weeks and forward to glorious victories. Before attacking, I peek into the tavern: Shiva with a good attack stat... But she's nothing compared to her predecessor — only eggs are cooler than Kreg) I attack — the opponent has 23 birds and a red orb....((( When no one was left except the birds, I had to run away))) We agreed on a draw.
Thanks for my most interesting online game)))

A severe case (red, tower, Nela, Nela/Kreg)))) DRAW PReDS (blue, barb, Kreg, Kreg/Shiva), Jebus Cross, 146

Mowed down 38 vivs on respawn with 4 angels. 126 - pre-max Dragon Utopia at home with a kettle. 127 - maxed out at the entrance to treasure zone. Got a bunch of everything for stats and KAir and same for Water. Nelka's parameters are off the charts, but there is no mana. Saw Kreg — rushed back to replenish. Returned, picked up several pandoras for experience, aimed for 2 untouched trees... Kreg in handcuffs attacks. Hits with implo. Couldn't treat him to a chain-hit for 1300. After numerous bolts into a huge stack of birds and air summons against resurrect on the birds, both ГГ die))) The earned and unspent 50 KGold in max-Dragon Utopia goes toward buying heroes.

That's why I don't like Jebus... On the 2nd week everyone breaks all Dragon Utopia, jumps with control, it's a horror... :smile28:

I confirm. I didn't expect such poverty on Jebus — almost the entire second week was spent collecting money for upgrades and buying army, because of which ГО from giants with upgraded only broke through at 126. In two Dragon Utopias in the treasure zone there was trash; when Nelka with defense over 30 intended to visit, I took a max from respawn a few cells from the start — +2 and +4 to all, sword +12. At the finale I messed up: saw that with magic 32 Nelka was throwing bolts, thought there was no level 5 and instead of using implode to wipe out the titans and finish off 1 mage — I resurrected the birds:( , felt sorry for them. For which I immediately paid, receiving a call of air. When Kreg level 21 went to the reds, I was shocked of course, but prepared for the visit as best as I could. In principle, it would have been possible to keep going — Shiva had 19 thunders left (Kreg slipped away from under the castle walls with 12 gr. golems), quite a lot of tasty things were spotted in the treasure zone — keeping Kreg out of there using an orb was a matter of technique, after 2 days birds from another 5 caches would be ready. But I was already pretty tired, and considering the luck demonstrated by the opponent, I agreed to a draw.
Thanks for the game.

I couldn't on the first — not a single can on respawn:( , and I'm far from Stinger.

AliaSmehova (blue,Tower,Ain,Gynnar) def AYMAN (red, Fortress, Tazar,Tazar), 2sm4d(3), 134.

We decided not to clash. The opponent said he loves the Swamp, so I started playing as the Tower, which I've grown fond of lately ))
I played even worse than against Navukh. I probably fought worse than in my entire life!.. Fortunately, the opponent is inexperienced and didn't take advantage of my nonsense...
On the 1st week, I placed nags in the Stronghold, discovered a Dragon Utopia in the secondary, but it takes almost a WEEK for an ordinary hero to run from my castle to that secondary!!! Gunya reaches the console on 117 on the path from the starting castle...
2nd week. I bring the full growth, run in, and it turns out to be a 1-tier. The Angel taken from there is given to Torossar on 122, who only reaches the Stronghold on 126!!!:eek: In the meantime, the respawn is cleared by a chain of 8 heroes using the castle back and forth, a bunch of dwarf dwellings and crypts are taken, another 1-tier console, Giants are placed in the castle by 127. I also took genie and nag dwellings. Papa on 127 at the console has 3-4, which I checked back on 116, but there wasn't much to take, and there was no longer any rush, so I decided to dig in at my place...
On 131, using 9 Naga Queens, 153 caps, and 10 golems, I take a 3-tier losing 3 caps and 8 golems, thanks to Papa's parameters being 11-11 and expert armor. I break into the stronghold, run to the 1-tier console, on the way to the Dragon Utopia.
On 132, I take a 1-tier with 1 angel, give 2 angels to Torossar, he takes another 1-tier.
On 133. Papa stands by the Dragon Utopia, the chain is being built.
On 134. Hideously, as in the whole game, I fought at the 3-tier Dragon Utopia, lost 11 nags, although there were 10 golems, 6 of which remained... :smile05:. But they gave wings, a shield 4all, and a cloak of speed there. I run to the adjacent treasure room, open the tower. I see a Dragon Utopia, a hive, angel dwellings, and other goodies... I prepare to bring 3 Titans on 135, thanks to 40K money and 30+ gems, and Fly in to devour it all, but news of surrender arrives; the opponent lost many troops exactly in that treasure room. Apparently, there would have been a resolution in 1-2 turns, but there were no chances...:smile19:

Confirmed.
Yes, the game didn't go well. First week at a slow pace, although by 121 I already had two secondary towns. On the first secondary town, a Stronghold (with birds), at home 1234-6
in the Citadel. On the second secondary town, Inferno and treasure zone scouting.
I went into the hellish treasure zone, because I really wanted to sleep, was in a hurry, and was waiting for my opponent to finish me off. I take the Angel Dwelling, the Pandora's Boxes have very strong guards, unfortunately. In the end, I decide to clear the Sphere of Earth, where I lose 3 birds and 3 Vivi. I looked at the remaining troops and decided not to continue.

Thank you, Alex, for the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally played to my full strength!!! :smile24:
AliaSmehova (red, Conflux, random, Moner) def Sem-56 (blue, Fortress, Vistan, Vistan), 2sm4d(3), 127

111. At the start, I got Labetha, built the mage tower, got Medlak, a hero with 4 elves and 22 centaurs - killed a pack of gargoyles, a pack of zombies, and a crypt of 5 vampires. In total, I lost 3 Pixies!:D by the end of the turn, 6 heroes were recruited, including MONER, who took over the army and ran into a pack of orc guards in a snowy secondary zone, naturally turned back to retrieve chests deep in the respawn. Labetha already with Mass Slow!!
112. Spreading out across the respawn, scouting stables!
113. On one side, I run into a pack of marksmen on the way to the secondaries, guarding the wood; on the other side, the road leads to ГО. I'm thinking, should I restart or not... No prospects at all, as it's unclear where to run on the 2nd week... But I saw gloves, enough chests to build Phoenixes, and decided to play, since Moner with Phoenixes on the 2nd will be running like crazy!..
In short, by 117 I cleared the entire respawn, took the minimal dwarf dwelling, thanks to which I built Phoenixes; all chests were minimal... on 117, Labetha killed the orcs and ran toward Taver.
121 I reach Taver, speed up with Labetha, having previously cleared a shield +3. Papa sets up at the stables, with gloves and expert Logistics in front of the marksmen. A chain is set up to him.
122. Recruit all 4 birds, attack the Marksmen, there are 46 of them :eek:. I take the wood, 8 wyverns. I run to the underground secondary on Phoenixes. I see a lumber mill along the way, figure out where the secondary is, run toward a well to refill mana, there's a +4 Crystal Sword behind the ice elementals.
123. I take the Sword, clear a necromancer horse dwelling, which was right at the exit in the underground, run back up, since I scouted a passage to an adjacent secondary - the Swamp... I need to hurry there so the opponent doesn't establish himself. My stats are 11-4. The opponent has 1-6, so I'm not too scared!.. A chain is set up to bring in all the air elementals, psychos, and sprites.
124. Papa breaks through the pegasi, a horse runs ahead, opens an observatory, I see a Griffin Conservatory further along the road and a passage to Roma up through the swamp. I run toward the conservatory, thinking about a rush on the 2nd. Moner has been running with 3500 movement points since 122 :smile09:
125. I enter the Griffin Conservatory. 4 Phoenixes, 7 wyverns (1 left with the horse just in case), 4 psychos, 19 air elementals, and 1+1+1 pixies. There are 40 guards!!! I came out of it with 3 Phoenixes, 2 psychos, and 4 wyverns (finally fought excellently!). Got Petfight. I manage to return through the fountain almost to the secondary area's guard.
126. I scout Roma's strongest army - wyverns. I run without fear, nearly at the swamp.
127. I attack with all my power against Vistan in the castle. There was no chance. Thanks for the game.

Finally played to my full potential!!! :smile24:

It was a tough match; it was easier to go against the wind than to compete with Alex. I tried to increase the pace from the beginning, but I only lost troops. Thanks for the game, and we can stop competing for a spot in the next round; thanks for the games!!

Group B

Aldegir (blue, Castle, Valeska, Kreg) def redwhait (red, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2cm4d(3), 116
2 secondary swamp huts with upgraded wyverns + horses in the main castle + cons + a couple of hives + Kreg with earth magic... but the opponent surrendered after an unsuccessful turn – a loss + lack of money... Thanks for the game!

Lost as black....
First time the spawn was completely mediocre, I took 111. Second time the layout was optimal, but due to a map bug I had to take 113, especially since the opponent freed a hero of level 10! (I thought it was level 5).
In the third game, the external dwelling of birds seemed fine, heroes scattered, respawn decent, but while clearing the bird dwelling I start blundering. As a result, out of 60 hobgoblins +1+1+1, 6 wolves, 5 gogs, 24 imps — 35 hobgoblins, 6 wolves, and 5 gogs remain. Then I accidentally attack vampires with the scout hero on the secondary hero in the teleporter :( Then I attack 3 birds and whatever was left from the dwelling on the diamond guys in the swamp, but it was in vain — there were 14 of them. In the end I retreat, leaving 4 of them. Then in the castle I resurrect myself and finish them off with 3 birds, losing one bird, but there was no gold in the swamp. I could have placed bears, but then I'd have to sit god knows how long without money, I didn't want to, and my morale was gone after everything....
Thanks for the game..
P.S. I'll post a screenshot of the GO bug — one-way, and whose secondary hero it is is unknown...

P.S. I'll post a screenshot of the bug in Heroes of Might and Magic where the ownership of a resource node is unclear...

1. Save the screenshot in JPG format, not BMP – then you won't need to archive it, and the file size will be smaller.
2. It doesn't seem like a bug in Heroes of Might and Magic. The knights are guarding the barbarians from the grass. The centaurs are guarding the passage from the grass to the barbarians' secondary resource node. So, the blue player can't go to the centaurs' resource node, but the red player can.

P.S. I'll post a screenshot of a bug in Heroes of Might and Magic where the guard outpost is one-way, and it's unclear whose secondary town it is...

If we interpret the map according to our rules, which state that you can pass through if there's no guard:

- With blue, by defeating the centaurs (or harpies, as some said, and there were also "Pokémon" nearby), you can pass through to either the secondary town or the main town of your opponent, as the guard outpost isn't used (and there's no bug with the guard outpost being shifted).

- The same applies to red; defeat any of their guards (excluding the guard outpost), and you can pass through to either your opponent or their secondary town.

P.S. This is the kind of guard outpost I'm suggesting we use for the 114-point rest stop.

And if we were to edit the map:
1) The centaurs need to be moved to the left, under the guard outpost, where there are no cliffs or guards.
2) The harpies should be placed higher: the path is grass-barb-secondary town.

125. I run into the Griffin Conservatory. 4 Phoenixes, 7 Wyverns (I left 1 with the scout hero just in case), 4 Psychos, 19 Air Elementals, and 1+1+1 Pixies. There were 40 of them!!! I came out of it with 3 Phoenixes, 2 Psychos, and 4 Wyverns (finally fought excellently!). I got Petfight. I manage to get back through the fountain almost to the secondary hero's guard.

Was the Griffin Conservatory on grass? And did Monere have any magic?
