Javdet (blue, Solmir) def Loi (red, Valya) 2sm4d3 124

He carelessly lost all his gremlins on turn 116, along with Solmir. Then he finally found his way to the enemy base. Loi, with 5 nagas, is killing him outright (again, he's making mistakes, he was just a little short on gold for a bribe). He gathers troops from everywhere and even this weak army defeats Valya's army, led by 2 angels. Solmir is awesome. And he takes the enemy castle.:)

Thanks for the game.

Javdet (blue, Solmyr) def Loi (red, Valya) 2sm4d3 124

Four chain lightning spells took down a full two-week army of Castle creatures + 2 angels, even though he tried to engage in close combat. Thanks for the game.

bRitvo4kA (blue, Stronghold, Gunnarsson, Gunnarsson) def KobRa_RR (red, Tower, Solmyr, Solmyr), 2smd4(3), 226

Week 1: Wolves built, stable near Castle. Pick up Necro secondary. 116 - external dwelling of Rocs taken. 117 - Solmyr spotted breaking through to my respawn. I decide to upgrade Rocs instead of Castle.

Week 2: I attack first
- he takes out 7 of my Rocs and makes off
Next, I take the Hive (6), secondary at Swamp, maximum Gnomes, Medusa Hovel, reclaim gloves.
- enemy Solmyr bursts into respawn again. I take losses and send him back once more. This time he takes half the Wolves, Ballista, and some Orcs. By the end of the week, I finish the Castle and place Wyverns in the Swamp.

Week 3: I take Shield+4, Naga Bank, develop economy.
- I head to attack the opponent's secondary, where Solmyr catches me on the Rocs. Forced to buy peace and I go clear the Necro secondary.

Week 4: I build Capitol. Take a minimal Griffin Conservatory, Hive (6), Cyclops Pit
- Solmyr breaches the GO and takes my main. Gunnar takes the Hive, reclaims armor, and breaks into Dragon Utopia 3 (Wings, Boots of Levitation, KO)

Week 5: I speed up from Stable, Lux Sniper, Library.
- Gretchin, with new Swamp growth, reclaims the capital.
Gunnar takes another Hive, and two more Dragon Utopias (Crystal Ball, Dead Man's Boots, Sentinel's Shield, KV), finds Shackles.
- I take all towns.

Week 6: The finishing blow was already a formality
- Loins, freed from prison, gets KO with Fire Amplifier and, unexpectedly for KobRa's attacking scout hero, wipes out a decent chunk of troops with Armageddon, after which he buys peace.
- I catch up to fleeing Solmyr with Loins in the Swamps, where I leave him with 8 Wyverns. Surrender follows.
- my- opponent's
Thanks for the game!

Big shout-out to the authors of the one Dimension Door MAX rule. I cleared 2.5 treasuries; I could have eaten 3.5, but by the end, crawling like a turtle with expert air against wings and such got annoying, and I wiped. Otherwise, an AOTD was assembled, if anything, and there would have been chances even then—70+ vives had a chance to hold their own. Update: Checked 2 Dragon Utopia sites at the top; they gave +15 to everything, funny.
My congratulations to Andrey.

Gurnisson had the air; if it were possible to use 2 Dimension Door, he would have used that too. Moreover, only Gurni had 40 wyverns+20 spirits+50 orcs+ballista which= 70+wyverns, and considering the advantage in attack parameters by 25, exp. atk., exp. def., exp. shooting, +2 speed, golden bow and red orb, I cannot imagine what could be done against such a thing.

He would definitely have used it with 120 mana:
Andrey, we already discussed why in the chat. With 2 damage dealers and 142 speed, you would have won. Let it go, now it's a rematch for the first loss. In general, Solmyr is like a gamble; he might make it, or he might not, at level 121.

Baevtsev's group always comes up with ideas to change the rules immediately after every defeat: you want to allow 2 Dimension Door, and Alex wants to ban level 4-5 scrolls.

Congratulations to Andrey on his victory, even though it was against a mage who was unbanned. 1 DD is a very good rule for competitive play; it allows you to play even against an opponent with DD.

I demand that the feast continue, chef, where is the schedule? :D

When will the 3rd round start??? It’s taking too long…

The third round will start no later than Sunday. I'm waiting for a couple more from Erdhem-Kostyan and Dirty-Aldegir.

Well, if people are eager to jump into the fray, why not provide a schedule? The weekend is just around the corner...

You're pulling me in different directions; some say I should provide a schedule, others say the tournament should be extended.
Okay :)

At the request of loi, I am replacing him with redwhait (icq 406-484-472), scorp is already aware

Kash (red, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) lose (Dirty_Player, blue, Luna, Luna), 2sm4d(3), 116

Incomprehensible stupidity all week and a shameful loss. I hope Dirty has something to tell, unlike me.

I apologize to Kostya and the team
