AliaSmehova (red, Tower, Ain, Bron) def Van (blue, castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2см4д3, 122.

Too bad. Didn't get to finish the game. The opponent couldn't handle the level 2 console. On the 2nd week, I was planning to eat at least 2, or even 3 Dragon Utopias, and with different heroes, so as not to lose tempo!.. By 117, Riza already had expert offense-armor, and Bron had expert log and armor! Too bad it didn't come to that...:( Thanks for the game!

It happened once, I opened half of the opponent's resp with a review and watched how frantically the hero chains were moving; if you add the 4 restarts they gave me, it was just uuuuuuuuuuuu.:smile39:
Thanks for the game.

Terrible game, 2 losses, on 121 the opponent lost in the dwarven mine, thanks for the game and the time...

SEM_56 (blue, Stronghold, Gunnisson, Gunnisson) def AYMAN (red, Tower, Torosar, Torosar) 2sm4d(3), 121

I messed up the setup myself. At home, nagas in the Citadel and a secondary Rampart.

On 121, before taking the external dwelling of uniques, I decided to use a scout hero to take the dwarf dwelling, but it wasn't meant to be. As a result, a throw — although I could have kept playing, but I didn't want to. Turns out it was in vain.

By the way, I should have taken the external dwelling of uniques on 117, but I was afraid. Right now, after the game, I took it.
So don't be upset, gentlemen, when you lose a game. Remember rather what made it useful for you (Heroic experience) !!!!!

thanks for the game !!!!!!!!!!!!

can you record those for me?

Erdem defeated StickyFingaz since then.

AYMAN (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Alessandro (red, Inferno, Octavia, Octavia) 2sm4d(3), 116

It was an interesting match; both players had their native secondary heroes.

On my side, Tazar had Expert Defense and Advanced Offense on the second day, plus he blocked a sword attack and gained 2 attack and defense.

The only thing that wasn't great was the money situation.

My opponent didn't have much luck; he rushed things and ended up losing in the console mini-game, but it seemed like he had a more promising position.

Thanks for the quick match!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AYMAN (blue, swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def Alessandro (red, Inferno, Octavia, Octavia) 2sm4d(3), 116

Started without restarts. Spawned on the surface. Took the native secondary town. After buying troops from two towns, without Ifrits, I went for the consul minimum. That's where I was defeated:smile05:. Conclusion: it's difficult to play Inferno without Ifrits. Thank you for the game.

Captain (blue, Castle, Valeska, Christian) def van (red, Conflux, random, Moner) 2sm4d(3), 131

We bantered back and forth; I was set on Castle and Jebus Cross, but the opponent picks Conflux and claims he can only play on 2 templates )))
Had to play on 2sm...
We cleared all the respawns - I had a block on one side of the road with a Pandora's Box guard, and on the other side a bunch of Pegasi guarding a Barbarian secondary skill - they killed my Archers and I only had 4 heroes total; I took a 113 respawn. The second respawn - only 9 Archers from 3 heroes and again they weren't built up.
By the time they were built up, the opponent was taking the respawns )
Plus we had one respawn by encounter - it turned out to be two adjacent secondary zones - I was worried about one zone to avoid running into a respawn there, but the opponent showed up on the second zone - a grassy one.

This game: Archers weren't built up, but the Castle had a Stable, lots of gold piled up, and a Citadel. I break through to a Dungeon secondary zone thanks to a Ballista; there's an external dwelling with Evil Eyes, and they're also in a village with a Summoning. On the 2nd zone, I see the opponent's moves via a Viewpoint - he takes out 5-9 groups of Bone Dragons with Phoenixes for Boots and gets wiped. I'm standing right at the entrance to his respawn (there was also a Viewpoint there - van didn't clear it for some reason, otherwise he'd have seen me fully). I take the capital, sit there for 2 days, and Moner appears. From week 1 he has his native secondary zone and 2 external dwellings of Air Elementals! Nearly 50 groups of Air Elementals and 3 Phoenixes run into a Castle with 40 Evil Eyes, 5 groups of Cavaliers, and 2 Angels.
Thanks for the game!

Captain (blue, Castle, Valeska, Christian) def van (red, Conflux, random, Moner) 2sm4d(3), 131
I confirm, ...they were arguing, I was prepared for Castle and Jebus, but the opponent picks Conflux and declares that he can only play two templates.)))
So I had to play 2cm... - I don't understand the sarcasm; we should have re-rolled under the condition of playing on 2cm. The victory was given away due to my stupidity; 100% I would have won if I hadn't dropped my head on the floor as a child...
Thanks for the game.

Piterius (red, Inferno, Marius, Marius) def Kash (blue, Fortress, Broghild, Broghild), 8mm6, TE without experience and tax, 137

So we scrapped an interesting pair. But Bronya would have looked more interesting with experience on mm6, of course). There were numerous restarts, including Victor picking all of his. Ultimately, I got a double, no mines, but a teleport a day and a half away, near a Griffin Conservatory 3-4 with greys, so I didn't think about a restart. I killed my native neighbor, hung around there at the end of the first week and the start of the second. Built dwellings 1-4 with a thousand, and at the computer's too, plus pits and hound growth, recruited 2 stacks of imps and one of gogs — again at the computer's, my native respawn remained untouched until the end of the game.
In the second week, I earned some money, built genies, and a pair of them went to scout the underground, revealing 2 Dragon Utopias. Dad, meanwhile, gathered his forces and charged the level 3 Griffin Conservatory. Killed the turquoise Necro player, who turned out to be between us, and Victor was also planning to hit him, but I beat him to it. I revealed a teleport near the Necro, and there were enemy flags. I killed a lich with a lich and a cage, but I don't reach the watchtower on the Blue respawn, and due to my mistake, the lich dies...
131, Dad takes the level 4 Nagash, does a full loan-buyout, and takes a position at the site of the peaceful citizen's murder. This time, he reaches the watchtower, having killed a lich in the process, and sees he arrived just in time! The Blue castle is half a turn away, the army on a lich in front of the Pandora's Box is also half a turn away. On his turn, the lich with a considerable army hits the uniques and runs into the darkness, while Broghild buys the growth and runs in the other direction. I catch up to Broghild with a lich, see he's near an unbeaten Griffin Conservatory, barge in there with Dad :D , naturally taking his main stack with two hydras and all sorts of small fry. The Conservatory turned out to be level 4 and was too tough for Bronya with his garrison, but I enjoyed it thoroughly :) . I didn't go in pursuit, started preparing for the Dragon Utopias, revealed 2 more of them, scouting the directions. The Blue player ran around until the end of the week and, seeing no prospects, decided to switch his flag to white.

Thanks for the game!

Piterius(red, Inferno,Marius,Marius) def Kash (blue, Fortress,Broghild,Broghild), 8mm6, TE without experience and tax, 137

That's how an interesting pair was drawn

Thanks for the game!

Thank you too for the game and experience :)
The layout is powerful, I couldn't hold it
I ran away on the first day in search of green, found a few hives near the Inferno village. The turquoise necromancer confused me slightly, no idea how he appeared next to me. A block of evil-eyes prevented me from killing him.
On the second day I started collecting same-day units, at home the conserve is still unbroken, on the road from the Castle in the other direction. Collected 36, took an angel there as well, planning to break back home on 131 to take that conserve, the army goes to snag Pandora with 10-19 units - either army or money there (turned out to be gnolls), then to the Dragon Utopia and
127 Petr comes out of turquoise's territory very timely (and he has a veil - can't see a damn thing), breaks my chain and ruins the whole game))
Bronkh is on one side with an angel, the army is on another - can't take the Dragon Utopia, can't take the conserve, and there's no money for the full growth. I broke back home, bought some units, running to the conserve - maxed out, goodbye growth
Loh takes a very long time to go kill green to buy Bronkh out there, Bronkh sat in the tavern for a couple of days while the losers were messing around with the angel, then tries to take the max-uliks with an angel, couldn't overcome them..
We take the Tower AI, buy Bronkh out there and on same-day units he runs toward home, there are also some broken uliks on the way. But the loser couldn't hold the Tower with the rest of the power and I completely gave up. I looked - by the time I run to the final, Mariussa will take about three or four Dragon Utopias, collect growth and it's game over for Bronkh
I'll go play some single player, somehow I never knew how and now I've forgotten :)
Thanks for the company

Forrest (Red, Castle, Valya, Valya) draw Тяжелый случай (Blue, Conflux, Monya, Monya), Jebus Cross, 131

Rich respawn for freebies. On the first week, 1-7 in the fort. Picked up +1 speed and some other small stuff. On day 1, week 1, almost lost to 76 griffins for a Dragon Fly Hive and Head of Legion. The birds bailed me out. Then I shook down about 25 ducks. During the game, I completely mindlessly lost three of them, twice setting them up to be blown away by my own birds on the counterattack, and one in the medusa dwelling, where the damned medusas petrified everyone. Monya recovered a bit, took Griffin Conservatory 2, and in the middle of the second week — a home Dragon Utopia before the mini. Got Dragon Scale Armor and Orb of the Fire. He took 2 external dwellings of psychs, and even astrology pleased him with them on the second week)) Day 1, week 2 — Necklace of Dragonteeth, 3 Angels and 8 Wyverns, the main hero aims for the second home Dragon Utopia. Well, when he was fighting in it (it turned out to be a mini, gave 4 Thunders and another Necklace of Dragonteeth, Monya became 22 13 12 11), the opponent offered a draw. I wasn't upset at all and agreed with pleasure)
Thanks for the game)

Forrest (red, Castle, Valya, Valya) draw A Tough Case (blue, Conflux, Monya, Monya), Jebus Cross, 131
Thanks for the game)

We used all the restarts. In the end, things turned out grimly. Edric and no archers. The spread wasn’t great, but on month 1 week 1 day 2 there were 8 heroes. The only good thing was money. Valya got a log, found stables — at least something.
For a long time I couldn’t find any external dwellings but kept searching persistently. Eventually, near the ГО Jabaskas found an angel external dwelling. Behind a horde upgrade of gargoyles. Meanwhile, I took Inferno and bought a spell book there. Running to the dwelling took a long time, so I fight early and run there. Scout heroes scouted the mine and conservatory and took a griffin external dwelling. In the end, on month 1 week 1 day 7, with a built angel, I attack the gargoyles. I clear them without losses. I enter the external dwelling with 8 Gogs, 23 Marksmen, and some singles. The Spirit of Oppression that dropped from the start as an artifact allowed me to take the external dwelling calmly.
On month 1 week 2 day 1, I break back home. I build stables. I run to two trees. They’re both minimal (I take the horse external dwelling with scout heroes). I send Tyrasikor to collect money with two horses. I break back home and run to the ГО. Meanwhile, the main force goes to a leveled and prepared Edric. He takes the mine and conservatory, and Vasilyek hits the camp — there are boars there. He passes the army to Pacis, who takes the max tree without losses. All of this arrives to Valya, who was waiting at the angel. She gets 5 Archangels on month 1 week 2 day 5. She takes the cyclops dwelling and runs to the ГО with scout heroes on the angel; another Archangel is supposed to be brought the next day. No magic — I refused water three times. In the end, after all these transfers, the seconds started ticking)) a scout hero misclicked and attacked the ГО with an angel. Killed one shooter and died. Valya loses about 1500 MR — turn skip.
On month 1 week 2 day 6, without magic, I kill a horde upgrade of cats and a horde upgrade of cavaliers.
Only singles die. 5 Archangels bless with morale). I run through the treasury and look around. I find a Tower of All 6 and a box held by a hundred Efreeti. The next day I thought about taking the Dragon Utopia, then bringing 4 more Archangels and taking the Tower of All 6. But I was afraid it would be taken from me. I attack the Efreeti — there are 7 stacks of 15 with an upgrade. I lose almost everything))
In the box, there are 8 Naga Queens and I take the Tower of All 6. My stats become 18-18-15-15. Offense was already given, and Earth (Armorer was expert long ago). On month 1 week 3 day 1, I bring three Archangels and take the Dragon Utopia without losses — a minimal one, with Boots of Resistance and a Grail. At this point, the time allotted for the game expires. Since I won’t be able to play in the next two days, and then there’s the selection in Kyiv, and then recovery after that! I came up with the idea to offer a draw) after all, the Archangels in the thieves’ guild had been glowing for me for a while)
The opponent agreed. Thanks for the game!

Piterius (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Slav4eG (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 212

One of the few games on the small map where Kyrre, thanks to her logistics, pulled me out of a complete mess. And the boots with gauntlets turned her into Super Mario too :)
We played in several sittings; I remember we rerolled for a long time. Eventually, out of rerolls, I got a start with two vertical brown corridor paths going up and down, one of which led to ГО. But thank god, 15 elves from the start and I see a tree, which gives hope. Just below the castle is a Griffin Conservatory, just above - an external dwelling of wood (never took it until the end of the game). Quickly ran to the Castle secondary hero, near it another Griffin Conservatory and a Naga Bank, and that's basically it, then chains back and forth off-road. In short, no tempo at all; on one day, I was 500 gold short to insert Pegasi, what a shame - would've been fine if it were crystals(( Result: first week 1-6 at Citadel, in the secondary a thousand.
Second week, I take the 1st Griffin Conservatory, the Naga Bank level 4 - the moral Nagas killed 5 archers and only 20 of them remained, so I didn't go for the 2nd-4th Griffin Conservatory, but dive into the underground near ГО. There, to the left is the opponent's secondary - also Dungeon, to the right is the treasure zone. I headed there.
On day 131, I shipped the army home - Damacon took the Griffin Conservatory (2) and Kyrre with three angels and support from Fiona started breaking trees. I hung around in the underground treasure zone, gathered a total of 16 Wyverns - all beehive mines, took 3 external Manticore dwellings :), a gold mine, found boots and Fly, and emerged from the underground near my own secondary!
I see Shakti at the end of week 3 heading into the treasure zone from the underground onto the dirt, which I have no access to! In a hurry, I build the guild and run to the cliffs, preparing to fly over them a bit above where the blues are likely hanging out! Along the way, I found a collar +3/+3 spellpower (very timely!), a well (70 mana), and a Cyclops stockpile offering 4 each.
On day 141, after collecting resources and picking up the gauntlets - I fly into the treasure zone. I take 2 Pandora's Boxes behind bone dragons - 5k experience and the entire fourth floor, thankfully I already had Wisdom and Earth! The same turn, I find a Dragon Utopia - minimal loot (cap +6 to all stats, sword +2/+2, and some other junk).
Day 142, I have mana left for either Fly or Town Portal. I Town Portal to the secondary and again run through the well to the walls, this time a bit higher, and mana is already 130.
Shakti is not there, so I calmly clean the top of the treasure zone, and from home I build a chain to the blues' underground secondary. After a few skirmishes with weaklings, I manage to push the ranged army led by Damacon (expert Offense and Archery) but not towards the secondary - I set the main town as the target! Mama Kyrre has already gotten quite fat - gathered 55 ducks, all slots upgraded, money for army buyback. I really want to quadruple mana in the blue castle on day 211:) But Damacon doesn't reach by a few hexes and only on day 212 runs into the empty blue capital, next to which Shakti is standing :confused:
Mama has just enough mana for 1 Town Portal left, but the driven-out Fiona is recruited, and there's a well nearby shining; she checks Shakti and makes the decision to attack!
Kyrre level 23, 21-23-18-15 (276) - 3 angels, 55 wyverns, 14 unicorns, 12 scorpicores, 33 pegasi, 55 elves, 60+ dwarves.
Shakti level 19, 13-20-20-5 (320) - 1 angel, 16 manticores, 47 hydras, 49 evil eyes, almost 500 regular Troglodytes and 30 advanced ones, 73 harpies.
Battle.
Deployment with tactics in the top corner - medusas and eyes are blocked. First thought is to cast Rain on the entire 700-strong mob, but there's a cloak:( . Nothing to do - I cast Mass Slow and approach everyone right up close, the angels take out 30 basic Troglodytes. In response, I get Mass Haste and in the second round, all the underground horde stacks hit the wyverns, the angels remove the retaliation, and the Troglodytes almost kill all the elves. I hit the shooters, and they fire back from the Bow of the Sniper :o
In the third round, I cast Cure on the wyverns and they smack the Troglodytes hard. Then it's a slugfest and lightning bolts. The wyverns kill the Troglodytes, and the rest finish off the shooters. Victory!:smile19:

Thanks for the game!

P.S. - Everlast remains, but neither hide nor hair from him since the very start of the tournament!

Excellent!!!
I've summarized the intermediate results.
Group A - well done, you've improved. Except for Everlast, there are 2 games left.
Group B, as in the previous round, deserves respect for their promptness. There's one match left, but it won't change anything. Congratulations on making it to the playoffs, scorp and Aldegir!!!
Group C - there are 2 games left. Congratulations to our dear AliaSmehova on making it to the playoffs!!!
Group D - in principle, everything is almost clear here, but not enough games have been played - catch up. StickyFingaz, please confirm your continued participation in the tournament.
Good luck to everyone!!!
