Ban238 (blue, Tower, Nila, Nila) def RomarioGrom (red, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2SM4d(3), 127
It happened.
I saw my opponent's native secondary town and a quick path to it + 3 stacks gave out, so I decided to rush on 117. The respawn turned out to be poor on gold, but there was a Griffin Conservatory and a couple of hives, resulting in 1-5 in the citadel. On 117, as I had calculated, I broke through to the respawn, but the troops were caught on a slope and could not offer resistance. Although Shakti escaped, there was no gold, and I couldn't mount any resistance! I fell for the rush again :smile35:
Thanks for the game!
P.S. I wish the strongest player to win!!! And also I would like to thank all the tournament organizers for their hard work and patience, may there be fewer conflicts and controversial situations in the future:)
Great fun running around:smile13:
111 a two-way teleporter right next to the capital:mad: for 50-99 Hogs, slow roads:(..
112 a fork, one end led into a GO with 50-99 Cyclops Kings, I broke through the Hogs from the other side with 10-19 upgraded Medusas:mad:.. and there's a Stable:)..
113 I break through 19 Medusas, thought it was GG when the first salvo took down three Elves:confused:... but managed with a shield.. revealed a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia on my side.. a couple of Dwarf Cottages:rolleyes:..
114 on day 2 opened a view tower, spotted Conflux, a couple of Crypts, most importantly in the treasure zone I see the Book of Air:smile20: for 50-99 Minotaurs, now only thoughts about it:rolleyes:..
115 a Crypt with 5 Vampires.. collecting freebies
116 a Crypt with 5 Liches.. Ivor already got Shield and Earth.. finally took Conflux:)..
117 Mage Guild in Conflux gives Ivor a spellbook, has Bless and Slow, Kira and Ion have Haste with Learning:).. on the adjacent mud secondary from the view tower I noticed the opponent's scout hero.. in the capital, horses in the Citadel, no crystals for Pegasi so had to build a Market:(..
121 Monya appeared in the Tavern, hesitated whether to take him as a pack mule but ultimately decided against it:cool:.. decided to develop Conflux, upgraded the Storms and bought 16 of them:)..
122 Next to Conflux, a Griffin Conservatory is visible.. and an external dwelling of Magogs, I'm moving troops, clearing an Imp Haven with 200 Imps along the way, and an external dwelling of Water Elementals for 20-49 upgraded Gargoyles.. lost all Centaurs because I was using a scout hero.. in the end, got so carried away with side battles and troop transport that I didn't manage to build anything or move Monya and Ivor, darn it:mad:..
124 an Imp Haven with 200 Imps, scouted both Griffin Conservatories, can't take 2-4 of them:confused:..
126 external dwelling of Magogs.. a Dwarf Cottage with 100 Dwarves..
127 mini-Dwarf Cottage.. in Conflux, birds in a Fort:), in the capital, a thousand and a Mage Guild..
131 I take it by buying 4 birds and transporting Elves with Storms for 105 upgraded Elves, a Helm of Knowledge +3 and a mini-hive.. expert Attack, Archery, Earth.. beat Spirit of Despair with a scout hero and took an external dwelling of Wood Elementals..:)
132 Knowledge +1 and I head back home to replenish mana for the Griffin Conservatories..
134 the native Griffin Conservatory is level 2.. I run through the Stable into the treasure zone..
135 two hives with 4+6 Wyverns, a Library.. got Logistics, we're alive..:smile13:
136 I took Greaves of Knowledge/Power +1 for 130 Swords, for 100 Magma Elementals I take a Pandora's Box, expert Logistics, basic Air, no Wisdom but hoping for gold or experience.. and there's all the big stuff, I'm only level 2:(.. I take the Book of Air:smile44:..
137 Conflux's Griffin Conservatory is level 3, I dive into the capital to replenish mana.. in Conflux, a Citadel and 3 levels of Mage Guild..
141 with a scout hero from the Black Market, I bring in Gauntlets:)..
142 Mana Accelerator max:smile20:, Shackles of War:smile28:, transport the army and fly to the opponent from the treasure zone via an adjacent grass secondary..
143 and the opponent just becomes Shakti near the GO (Cyclops Kings) on Angels:smile42:.. 4 stacks of 1-4, I figure they're singles;), I Dimensional Door to my respawn, break through the GO with 87 Cyclops Kings.. lost 16 Pegasi and 6 Wyverns.. immediately take a Breastplate of Power +3, and a Ring of Speed +1:), put on the Shackles and attack the miner.. and he has 15 Angels!! :rolleyes:
first turn Oil, second turn Chain Lightning on the Angels for 500 damage.. third turn finished off the rest.. lost 4 Pegasi, 4 Wyverns, and 15 Elves killed by two Lightning Bolts:smile03:..
144 I run to the opponent's Capital:smile13:..
145 I attack Valya in Castle.. :smile16:
I only had 50 mana left but I won without any issues..
When I checked after the game: the opponent had taken his native secondary, plus a Dungeon right next to which were 2 external dwellings of Manticores and 3 external dwellings of Troglodytes:eek:.. and on two grass respawns there were a whole 6 Griffin Conservatories:eek:.. if I hadn't caught him on Angels with the Shackles, I could have lost with high probability:smile15:..
Thanks for the game!:smile20:
А так играют Мастера! :smile13:
We'll wait until the last moment, of course. It's a pity.
Confirmed! Thanks for the game.
111 - Started, everything is fine, I'm gathering money, scouting for mage and genie dwellings, and moving along the road.
112-115 - In this area, I reached the secondary Dungeon... successfully took it... let's continue...
116 - Saw Gunar in the tavern (how did I not notice it before? Open question)...
117 - Fidail Hasanov writes to me in "ICQ" (that he's losing because of an attack on pegasuses, of which there were exactly 44-49, which was enough to make him lose, I write, let's take an auto and continue, I'm just getting into the game, but then a bunch of things happen, and my wife sees her brother in ICQ, and from this point on, my game ends), I decided to save my nerves (next time I'll write right away (I can't play, sorry, family circumstances)).
Thank you for the game... I hope we meet in the final... but we'll finish it to the end!

Thanks for the game!!! Good luck!!!
marajan was unable to play due to technical issues; I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he takes advantage of his chance this week.
I encourage everyone to find time to play before
January 18th – this is the deadline for the second round.
I will be strict with the lower bracket regarding deadlines; you have limited time. BA/IEHOK promised to try to arrange a match with RiMpel2 for next week. If anything comes up, let me know immediately (this applies to everyone). If necessary, I can extend the time for all rounds in the upper bracket by up to two weeks, but it's best not to abuse this.
Special greetings to KillerVampire and Deriel_Linch,
who are already in the 1/4 of the upper bracket, i.e., in the 1/8 of the tournament.
They are currently resting and waiting for their opponents, who will be determined in the matches
satur - Tolikandro and mals - Pradromalo
Good luck to everyone, and have a good game
Ran out of turns, spawned in the rear. The opponent offered a truce, but I declined. :)
Thanks for the game!

Something weird happened... they picked Rest and in the 6th turn, the opponent wrote "gg," and Rest didn't take (
the idiot's dream didn't come true - he didn't get to play against Inferno...).
This applies to both leagues.
