Pradromalo (Red, Stronghold, Gunnarsson, Gunnarsson) loses to Deriel_Linch (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2sm4d(3) 142
week 1 1-6 in the castle + dungeon with 1k and market.
I see 3 roads - one to the nearest secondary for eyes, the second to the GO, and the third somewhere else), near the castle there are 2 Naga banks and a Griffin Conservatory. on 113 I go with Tazar to kill the eyes (there were 30+ of them, but I only lost the secondary hero's troops). then I quickly chain-clear all the gold on the dungeon respawn. hydras could have popped up, but I decided to fortify and on day 1 buy out all the growth, then rush the conservatory.
122 - I break the tier 3 with 6 wyverns, 9 gorgons, 10 basilisks, 50+ gnolls, and lizardmen (the latter were used as a distraction) under Oil and Shield. losses - all lizardmen, 10 gnolls, 8 basilisks, 1 wyvern, and 2 gorgons... I plan to break the Naga banks, but after checking I see they are both 5-6 stacks and decide to postpone it. I run along the other road and see a fork leading to the underground passage... I go there, take two hives (max and pre-max) and by 126 I already have 25 wyverns.
on 132 I break the two max Naga banks, upgrade the wyverns, and decide to rush the GO. I send Tyris to scout, and it turns out to be a double - 48 upgraded Darks and 25 Fire Birds... on 134 I set Tazar up for the run-up before the GO and eagerly await the end of the opponent's turn...
135 - I upgrade the gorgons and break both GOs with a loss of 3 monarchs, 1 hydra, and 6 basilisks... on the same day I take the opponent's capital, which is defended by singles. only Birds, Ogres, and Cyclopes are bought out - no Behemoths...
after that I send scouts in all directions, but Gunnarsson himself comes running to me on 141, kills the reinforcement caravan.
142 - FB... he has 6 Cyclopes, about 15 Birds, 6 Wyverns, and small fry, stats 11 7 5 1
I have 40 Monarchs, 13 Mighty Gorgons, 2 Hydras, 3 Angels, 20+ shoe strings (lol), Earth level 1 and stats 6 12 5 5... in the second round the opponent surrenders.
thanks for the game.

Tolikandro agreed yesterday to wait a little longer for the game result.
maxlewis - Kaliostr
If so, then I don't mind. As long as you manage to finish it this week and the winner plays against him. You have until Monday. Tolikandro can play almost every day, but if you delay the first game, I'll give him the victory without question.

On the last of the additional days, maxlewis is unavailable, and it's clear that we won't be able to finish our match by Monday. There's also no point in adding more days. Tolikandro is the deserved winner. Thank you, Kash, for organizing the tournament, and good luck to everyone in the tournament!

Since maxlewis is unavailable for the last of the extra days, and it's clear we won't be able to finish our match by Monday. There's also no point in adding more days. Tolikandro is the well-deserved winner. Thank you, Kashy, for organizing the tournament, and good luck to everyone in the tournament!

I'd like to hear what Maxim has to say, because Tolikandro is unhappy, saying he doesn't want to just go through the motions, he wants a real fight...
Try to finish the game, maxlewis said there's not much left.

Here's an idea:
to conduct a photo report of the upper bracket final.
If anyone has seen it, this is what the Chinese do. I first thought about setting up a stream via Micogo, but I think there will be many more people wanting to see the final than that Chinese program can handle. I talked to Driel, and he's all for it. We just need to wait for the second finalist.

The essence:
I'll create a separate topic specifically for this match.
We'll agree on the game time in advance.
During the match, I'll sequentially post the most important screenshots in the topic: of the explored map, the main hero, and anything else depending on the situation. Naturally, screenshots of encounters between Red and Blue.
Viewers cheer, support, discuss, lightly spam, and create a friendly atmosphere :) The finalists do NOT visit HeroesWorld, and communicate with me (or my assistant) only via ICQ.

Technical side:
1. Red generates the map and sends it to me at the first opportunity (by the way, I can immediately scan it slightly for bugs)
2. After each turn, both players immediately send me the end-of-day save. Here I could use a prompt assistant to take screenshots for Blue. If anyone's interested, hit me up
3. I/we try to quickly post the screenshots in the topic

Requests for the finalists:
1. A responsible approach to choosing the game time.
It's preferable to play in one sitting, and not at night
2. Promptness.
You can set an 8-minute time limit so dealing with saves doesn't slow you down too much. The game will drag on, that's a downside for sure.
3. Honesty.
Your word of honor not to visit the forum during the game, as well as try to ignore anyone writing anything in ICQ
4. You'll have to take screenshots of hero encounters yourselves and send them to me as image files.

Requests for the viewers:
1. Don't disturb the finalists, don't write anything to them in ICQ
2. Don't argue in the topic

You can share your suggestions and wishes right here.
There aren't many games left now, and the topic is empty anyway :)

It's a great idea, but I think it would still be useful (for a couple of dedicated fans who could take screenshots themselves during the broadcast without putting extra pressure on the finalists) if Dariel doesn't mind helping him with this routine!

Mikogo is not an option, given that there will be such a report. :)
Let's not complicate things.
There will be no routine for the finalists; we only need their screenshots when they are attacking each other. In principle, it won't be difficult for them to do it themselves, and they won't lose much time. In general, we'll discuss the details. Let the avid fans relax and watch the game; there's no need to bother them. :)
Romario, wouldn't you like to try taking screenshots for the blue team?
Send me a message on ICQ, and we'll discuss it.

Added 23 minutes later
Although... There's nothing wrong with having a broadcast as well. And let's say Romario and someone else will be the "personal photographers" for the finalists. :) We'll discuss it; we have time. The most important thing right now is that I need an assistant. The optimal time for the game (I think) is Saturday/Sunday afternoon.

I recommend using the screenc program. It saves screenshots directly in JPG format and with a small file size. :smile54:

I use Gadwin. It saves in jpg and other formats, the quality can be adjusted, and accordingly, the image size can also be adjusted. It has a user-friendly interface, is easy to use, and supports Russian. :)
I need to experiment with file sizes/quality now, specifically in relation to Heroes.

Experiment.
I set the quality to 75% and reduced the image width to 600 pixels; the resulting images are up to 100 KB if they capture the entire Heroes window. The quality isn't great, of course... You can take screenshots in BMP format and convert them to JPG; this will result in smaller and better-looking images, but it will take some time.
For now, it looks something like this:

Kash 111

If someone can teach me how to do it better, I would be grateful.

Although... I can also leave the quality at a normal level, which will result in a maximum image size of 300-400 KB.

Satyr (red, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) def KillerVampire (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) 2SM4d(3), 232

We picked all rests.

2 roads, one blocked by 20+ gorgons behind a +3 shield. I break through the second one into a Necro secondary, there are a couple of crypts, they gave scouting :(. On day 115 I died in a max crypt on native land - goodbye hydras. Barely squeezed 1-6 into the Citadel, but on 2 spawns there are 4 Griffin Conservatories.
On day 121 I finished the crypt, then a Dwarf Cottage at 10 and 20, they gave attack :). Scout also found a crypt. Broke back home, took a penny, killed the gorgons. Took max levels, they gave earth.
On the third [week], 2 Griffin Conservatories with level 3 Tazar, broke into the second Necro secondary, there's all earth magic in the Mage Guild. Ran into the treasure zone, the scout takes another level 3 Griffin Conservatory. In the treasure zone, Cloak of the Wretched, scout reveals Val on the other side of the treasure zone. I break back home, buy everything, go to the enemy. I take his castles, he runs into the treasure zone. After all the maneuvers, he attacks on day 232 at my castle, where Tazar had dug in. In a tough battle, the enemy fell.
Thanks for the game!

Yes, everything happened as described, except for one thing: I didn't lose in the battle (I actually won it), but due to a VIOLATION OF THE RULES. I made two mistakes when using the Angel Wings: the first was with the Djinns, and the SECOND was with the Liches – I don't know how it happened (they must relax your attention; it would have been better if they gave you a book of air instead :) – that would have made me more focused). But I got through them and took the Nagabanks and an artifact that increases the birth rate of level 3 monsters. The game was long, but interesting. With that, I consider my participation in this tournament to be OVER, as the semester is starting, and I need to prepare for lectures and practical sessions. Also, my age doesn't allow for such long sessions in front of the monitor.
Thank you for the game...
Good luck to all participants...

It's a bit of a shame that things turned out this way.
So, the conclusion is: victory is achieved not only by the strongest and luckiest, but also by the more attentive player, who avoids accidental rule violations. We are all obliged to follow the rules equally, and there could be no other outcome for the match.
Huge respect to the guys for the tough battle, respectful attitude towards their opponent, and fair judging. Note that, despite the violation, there is no talk of any squabbles; the adults resolved everything themselves. I'll say it again: huge respect!

Satir is the second finalist from the upper bracket; congratulations.

The final will be approximately in a week, most likely on a weekend afternoon. We will try to notify everyone in advance, organize a broadcast, and provide an online report with Chinese-style images.
Satir has the right to choose first. Given the importance of the match, I have slightly modified the usual coin toss. It turned out like this: :)
