That's right, you're learning :D

What is permissible for Jupiter...

So, am I Bovi (bull in Latin, just in case)? :) Never mind, the main thing is to know what people think about banning skeletons from Necropolis and Panic creatures in general? ;)

I have an idea: edit the template itself, replace Necropolis villages with regular random ones, or, for example, with Flax villages.

No, the problem isn't with the Necropolis villages. It's just that the simpler the template, the more dominant the free skeletons become. I like Panic, but Necropolis on it creates a real imbalance.

...blah-blah-blah... Why do some players have twice the chances compared to mine, it's completely unclear :confused:

skill pays off :)

Regarding the first place, it's unlikely, but I think they put me in the last place unfairly =)....

of course, unfairly - there was simply no lower place :)

Don't you want to make an alternative prediction to Forest's - I'll write it down so there's something to compare it to.
AliaSmehova...5.00
LeBron............5.50
Pit for LM.........7.00
Piterius............8.00
Mizrael.............8.00
Aldegir ............9.00
Javdet............10.00
numOne..........12.00
Medium_HP......15.00
Wlk777..........25.00

You have some pretty interesting provocations, after all.

Wlk777..........25.00

Just a friendly gesture! :D :smile40: :smile40: :smile40:

The "Royalty" skill is impressive :)

Of course, it's a shame - there was simply no lower ranking available. :)

Forest clearly took into account non-game factors when stating his odds, such as the possibility of LeBron getting distracted by poker again, but you clearly overlooked that. :)

I'll make my prediction. Alex_R 100000000000))). Because this guy doesn't like playing against strong players, even in the best games, he was afraid to play in the final =). And he hasn't won a single online tournament in Heroes 3 because to do that, you need to beat strong players. But he's a master at showing off =)

You have some pretty interesting provocations, after all :)

That pair, Alex_R-Wlk777, is like a Castle-Swamp, a Rampart-Dungeon... it's a tradition, isn't it? :D

P.S. I realize this is a pointless post, sorry - I couldn't resist - moderators can delete it if they want...

you clearly missed that.:)

I didn't miss it – I deliberately ignored it. If you take that into account, then maybe someone who doesn't really have a chance will win the tournament again :) ...just by clinging to the rules.
So, if someone withdraws from the tournament, they simply drop out of the list.
And LeBron isn't the only one who can drop out.

to Wlk
and if I find a tournament that you won, will you take responsibility for your words?
or will you, as always, write that you expressed your opinion, even though no one is interested in it :D

to Wlk
and if I find a won tournament, will you stand by your words?
or will you, as always, write that you expressed your opinion, regardless of the fact that no one is interested in it :D

Alright, consider that you're right, as always :D just please, less swearing and insults in my forum :)

The first crate... it seems like the distribution was decent... there are some resources near the castle and a bit of gold... but the ranged units... I decided to push to 49 archers... it became 28... and then 30 gremlins were lost :(... then I attacked a dungeon with 5 vampires... they also bit the gremlins a bit... Then I decided to break through to the secondary grassland through a lair with 19 diamond golems... it became 14... I couldn't defeat 1... they dealt 48 damage to the gremlins, which wasn't enough, and there was nothing to finish them off with... so, rest 111... :( this is called a distraction start... it's Saturday, and clients are calling... distracting me (although they are placing orders, which is also nice, but not right now! :) )
Second crate...
111 - my main hero + 350 gold... decent... 87 gremlins... we took the dungeon - the minimum... We scouted the GO - up to 49 hydras... + a stash of nagas behind a lair with 99 griffin riders on wolves + a nagabank and a hive + a cloak +2+2 for griffin riders up to 49 + an outer market for those same griffins + 2 passages to secondary grasslands... for griffin riders and for witches... 5 heroes...
112 - we broke through to the secondary rampart... visited the lookout and saw part of the blue player's spawn... with a stash of bears behind a lair with 19 pit lords + a passage to our secondary spawn... We gave Nella an attack boost!... a stable in the secondary... Now we need to decide... whether to rest for a meeting or take the nag stash and try to rush the opponent through the secondary... but the bear stash is scary :( + we bought 1 more hero...
113 - We took the secondary rampart... there is slow and haste... we sped up in the stable... scouted another dungeon... Weighing all the data, I decided not to rest! Or maybe I should have! :) only the future will show what and how :)
114 - The blue player didn't take the rest... they probably noticed the bear stash :) ... We took the minimum dungeon and scouted another dungeon... We built a guild of mages and a market in the secondary...
115 - I wanted to take the dungeon with a sneak attack, but it was maxed out, and I lost :( (the sneak attack was without a book, and I made 1 big mistake... the vampires blocked the gremlins, and then I couldn't handle it) ... Thank you for the game.

First crate.. the spawn seemed okay... Griffin Conservatory near the castle and some gold.. but shooter stacks.. Decided to push through to 49 archers.. got 28.. and lost 30 gremlins :( .. then attacked a crypt with 5 vampires.. also bit a few gremlins.. Then decided to push through to the grass secondary via 19 diamond golems... got 14.. couldn't beat 1.. 48 gremlins dealt too little damage.. and had nothing to finish with.. so restart 111 .. :( called a distraction start.. Saturday but clients are calling... distracting (although they're placing orders.. which is nice too.. but not now! :) )
Second crate...
111 - native hero +350 gold.. ok.. 87 gremlins... took a crypt - minimal...Scouted ГО - up to 49 hydras.. + external dwelling of nagas up to 99 wolf riders + naga bank and hive + cloak +2+2 for harpy hags up to 49 + external market behind the same harpies + 2 passages to grass secondaries.. behind gargoyles and behind witches...5 heroes..
112 - broke through to the Rampart secondary.. visited the lookout and saw part of blue's respawn.. with an external dwelling of bears up to 19 pit lords + passage to our secondary from their respawn...Gave Neela attack!.. stable on the secondary.. Now need to decide.. whether to restart upon meeting or take the naga external dwelling and try to rush the opponent through the secondary.. but the bear external dwelling is scary :(.. bought +1 hero...
113 - Took the Rampart secondary... have slow and haste... sped up at the stable.. scouted another crypt..After weighing all the data.. decided not to restart! But maybe in vain! :) whatever, the future will show what and how :)
114 - Blue didn't restart... they apparently definitely saw the bear external dwelling :) .. We took a minimal crypt and scouted another crypt... Built a mage guild.. and a Market in the secondary...
115 - wanted to take a crypt with a weak hero.. but it was max.. and a loss :( (weak hero without a spell book.. and made 1 rough mistake.. vampires blocked the gremlins and then couldn't pull through) .. Thanks for the game..

On 111, 6 heroes, there's an external dwelling of bears, on 112 no money at all, can't afford to buy birds, a dangerous passage from the opponent's secondary is revealed, but broke through to my own secondary, and along the other road there's also a passage to the rocks.
On 113, seriously thought about a restart, because still no money, the secondary is far away, but revealed another external dwelling of birds, well, can't restart with that... decided I'd find some money somehow. On 114, the secondary was the last explored tile, placed a market and sold a few more resources to build a market at home :), with such income, the dream is birds with a fort in both, and somehow break through with weak heroes to yet another secondary. Overall, there were every chance to regret not restarting on 113, but on 115 reds capitulated.
Thanks for the game.

Distributed the external dwelling of ducks before the castle—we play, roads are slow, on the first duck is in the fort, secondary is a dungeon with a portal, on the second-third there's a consa for 2, 2 external dwellings of red dragons, a teapot behind the same army of ducks, some other artifacts for stats, total sum somewhere around 70... On the fourth I plan to take 2 Dragon Utopia but after breaking ГО comes Waleska, weak, with a strike group of 50+ crusaders.. I defeat them easily, then the opponent played guerrilla tactics for a long time and did not surrender until he lost his last hero and last castle. Interestingly, I had 2 teapots and 2 books of Earth. Thanks for the game.
