There are serious issues with the timing, primarily due to the Favorites Tournament. Given the completion of the group stage, would it be worth extending the round's deadline?

Finally got to my computer and can play.

There are serious time constraints, primarily due to the Favorites Tournament... Given the completion of the group stage, perhaps it would be worth extending the deadline for the round?

Dirty, sorry, but I won't be extending the round. On the one hand, you're not keeping up (nothing special, I'll give you a conditional 0.5 points for now. If you catch up later, great, if not, it's okay). On the other hand, some are already waiting for the draw.

Zhavdet is back, Loi is almost always ready to play. Aldegir has problems with his wife, I hope he'll return, but I don't know when, so there's no point in waiting.

Erdem and Kostya have started, and they promise to finish over the weekend.

According to Tyoma, SpiritT and NumO should be able to play on Saturday.

Judging by everything, Cobra and Britvochka have started, and I'm not aware of any problems, so I think they'll finish.

In principle, the following is possible:

Zhavdet plays with ~no1_knows_me~ (they have no time constraints and are in agreement),
and Dirty with Aldegir when they sort out their issues...

Aldegir isn't showing up. Dirty, if you agree, let me know

Aldehir doesn't appear. Dirti, if you agree, let me know.

I agree! We have some old scores to settle :smile19:
But I don't know when we'll have time to do it :D

Okay, play as best as you can, good luck.

Spawned at the top, Shakti came with two stacks and a +1 Speed artifact. On day one, I scout with a view - I see 2 Griffin Conservatories, a stable nearby, my mouth immediately waters, I head towards them. I check, one is 2-4, the other 3-4, obviously, I turn around. I break through to the snow, it's completely empty there, I think one pile of ore and that's it. My own respawn is also bare as a bone, from money buildings there are 2 Imp Statues under good guard. But Shakti already has Logistics and Earth Magic + I find another Griffin Conservatory, also 2-4, what restarts could there be? :) Week result - 1-4 in the fort + mushrooms.
On the second day, I break through to the second snow, there's another Griffin Conservatory near the road! I take the castle, buy a spell book, have Shield. I bring troops and break the snow Griffin Conservatory - a 2-stack. I check mine on the road with a scout hero - a 3-stack, no mana, I decide to farm some money first.
At the start of week 3, I run through the three remaining Griffin Conservatories (3+3+4), total on 133 - 12 Angels. I break the GO (turned out to be double: Wizards and Nagas). I have Mass Slow, Mass Shield, Mass Stoneskin. I feel great, I go to the opponent's capital. I capture it, take a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 near the castle, prepare to go to the secondary town, which I partially see with the view, but word comes of their surrender. My 12 Angels against 2 Artems left him no chance.

Thanks for the game.

12 of my angels against 2 of Artem's, didn't give him a chance.
Thanks for the game.

12 little angels on a treasure chest...Yo-ho-HO!!! and half a hundred monsters!!! Yo-ho-HO, and half a hundred monsters!!!!!! And in general, I had a terrible first week.
For some time, I was testing Aislinn in single-player mode - in 9 out of 10 cases, Earth was on level 3. Here, I didn't see it until level 8, and she stubbornly pumped up wisdom, along with Necromancer. The result of the first week is 1-4 in the Citadel + 2 hidden stashes of rags.
In the second week, Gosha came - I switched to him. Maybe I shouldn't have...
I played poorly.
Thanks for the game.

So, there are roughly two days left, and here's what we have:

first round
Sword	***	Magic	***
loi		Javdet

second round
Sword	***	Magic	***
bRitvo4kA		KobRa_RR
Эрдэм		КостяN
Aldegir		Dirty_Player
~no1_knows_me~		Javdet

I really hope that Loi and Javdet will come to an agreement and finish the first round; their schedules seem to match, and they both want to. Yesterday, I played with one, and today with another; they both promised to "try."

In the second round, only Britva and KobRa might have time; they are playing right now.
Erdem and Kostya postponed their match; they won't be able to play before Friday. I don't have much information about the others.

Erdem - Kostya said he won't be able to play until Friday, and I don't know about the others.

Aldegir and I have also started. We have a save at 142. I think we'll finish on Friday or Saturday.

Aldegyr and I have also started. We have a save at 142. I think we'll finish on Friday or Saturday.

I wasn't counting on you guys anyway...

Ok, as you wish.

The second round is extended until Sunday, November 1st.

I probably won't be around during the weekend; I'll do the draw on Sunday evening.

I really hope that Loi and Javed will come to an agreement and finish the first round, as the timing seems to match, and they both have the desire to do so. Yesterday, I played against one, and today, against another; both promised to "try."

We're trying :). It has started, and it's currently at turn 121. I complained a bit here (notice, in the chat, not on the forum) about the poorly written rules (Solmir chooses the color and the 4 castles of the opponent - it's absurd...). It seems Roman was moved by this and chose blue; he wouldn't take red before, and in turn, he didn't take the red Conflux, since it's Sword versus Magic...
I think we'll have a result sometime today or tomorrow...

We played with Loy until round 117, and here are some thoughts that came up:
Even though I voted for unbanning mages, I registered for the tournament just to play with them, I wasn't planning to prove anything to anyone... At level 117, Solmyr looks very promising on average, despite losing to all the gremlins (if, of course, I manage to meet Val before the end of the 2nd week). I won't change my mind about unbanning - with unbanning, snow becomes a very inconvenient castle, which I, for example, would scratch off. IMO, the game will only become more interesting. And to avoid thinning out armies with kamikazes, I suggest allowing the use of profile spells of level 4 against an opponent only with the starting main hero. Again, opponents of unbanning will say that you can take Solmyr as a starting hero, using him as a kamikaze. But let that be a feature of the tower, and other castles don't need it - no one is likely to prefer Aislin to Goshe for the necropolis, although there will be a few brave souls who will start with Dimmer (it's really hard to figure out how to play with him).

To avoid thinning out armies with kamikaze units, I suggest allowing the use of specific 4th-level spells against an opponent only with the starting main hero.

Yes!!!

I've been writing about this for a long time! The game will only become more interesting! Want an uber-mage kamikaze? Take the risk! Start with him!

And not just a cheap pick from the tavern or dungeon, and even for stronger castles!

let this be a feature of the Tower.

+1

We've already played with Cobra for four and a half weeks. In the beginning of the second and third weeks, I successfully repelled Solmir's raids on my territory. In the third week, I launched an attack on the opponent's secondary town, but I was driven back. In the fourth week, Solmir broke through and captured the capital with the Capitol building. We agreed to continue today. To be continued...

I suggest allowing the use of level 4 faction-specific spells against an opponent only with the starting main hero.

I'm all for it; I enjoyed playing against Solmyr, and there was enough excitement.

P.S. If you manage to finish these four started games by Sunday, that would be great.
