This tournament ended for me the same way online Heroes did...

Today, at the final table of an MTT, I had KK against AA - anyone who plays poker will understand!))))
Anyway, my point is that you need to overcome setbacks and not give up halfway through; then the results will come ;)

Good luck to everyone in future matches! I'm glad this tournament ended well for me, just like my online Heroes experience...
No, don't think like that... I've had similar thoughts myself, but stop feeling down, luck will come, and everything will be fine, I've found out!:)
А так играют Мастера! :smile13:
I was making stupid mistakes the whole game, and we finished so late local time as well... Once again, I'm convinced you need to play on time and in good shape! We already decided to postpone, but the biathlon that had started made us play a bit longer; Bjørndalen missed three times on the first prone stage, so I wasn't distracted from the game ))))
I screwed around the entire first week, just stayed in place, didn't do anything useful; I took the Barbarian secondary on the last day; on the second week I took the external dwelling of horses, the Dungeon secondary, the Griffin Conservatory at minimum. Blue flags appeared in the teleporter on Barbarian land. On the third week, two more Griffin Conservatories at levels 2 and 3, a Hive with 8 Wyverns. Luna hits the ГО with 50-99 Wyverns, apparently losing the bird :)
I figured since there are no Angels, I could go for the castles and trade, so I ran into the teleporter. The next day I break through into the teleporter, run along the road, and there's a scout hero with a lot of troops. Shakti with Logistics, Tactics, Attack, Earth Magic, and Armorer solves everything in one turn.
Thanks to my opponent for the game!
BA/IEHOK (red, Castle, Valya, Shakti) def Pradromalo (blue, Conflux, random, Luna), 2SM4d(3), 135
I was heavily brain-lagging the whole game, and we finished so late local time too... Once again convinced that you need to play on time, in good shape! We had already decided to postpone, but the biathlon that had started made us play a bit more — Bjoerndalen missed three times on the first shooting range, so I wasn't distracted from the game ))))
I wasted the entire week 1, spun my wheels, did nothing useful, took a barbarian secondary on the last day; on week 2 I took an external dwelling of horses, secondary dungeon, minimal griffin conservatory. Blue flags flickered in the teleport on barbarian territory. On week 3, two more griffin conservatories at level 2 and 3, hive at 8 wyverns. Luna hits ГО 50-99 wyverns, apparently sacrifices the bird :)
I decided since there are no angels, I can go for castles and trade, ran into the teleport. The next day I break through the teleport, run along the road, a scout hero with a power stack is standing there. Shakti with logistics, tactics, attack, earth, armor solves everything in one turn.
Thanks to the opponent for the game!
I confirm!
Sacrificed 4 birds. The situation aligned very well for the opponent. Gave all the power stack to the scout hero which was subsequently smashed to smithereens. Well of course the scout hero had 0 0 in defense and attack
The joy of victory (about 5-15 minutes of euphoria compared to 3-4 hours of gameplay !!nothing!!) is not enough to outweigh the frustration of defeat (too much time goes into the game to normally accept that it brought !!!no!!!! results).
Kash (14:02:20 14/02/2010)
If you're ready, write your name.
Scorp (14:06:24 14/02/2010)
My name.
Scorp (14:06:25 14/02/2010)
:-[
...
Kash (14:29:03 14/02/2010)
Should we give them an artifact?
Kash (14:29:07 14/02/2010)
Or random?
Scorp (14:29:20 14/02/2010)
Screw them.
Scorp (14:29:24 14/02/2010)
I'm greedy.
Kash (14:29:27 14/02/2010)
We'll get it anyway.
Kash (14:29:32 14/02/2010)
Okay.
Kash (14:29:32 14/02/2010)
GL.
Scorp (14:29:40 14/02/2010)
GL to them too.
Kash (14:29:48 14/02/2010)
Yeah, to yours.
Scorp (14:29:53 14/02/2010)
Now the fun begins.
...
Scorp (14:39:43 14/02/2010)
Second time and GG without a weapon =-O
Kash (14:40:56 14/02/2010)
That's because you took the artifact as a bonus.
Scorp (14:41:42 14/02/2010)
It's not related at all!
Kash (14:41:53 14/02/2010)
*ROFL* Just kidding.
Scorp (14:41:57 14/02/2010)
;D
Kash (14:42:07 14/02/2010)
Capture.
Scorp (14:42:12 14/02/2010)
Go.
Scorp (14:50:30 14/02/2010)
15 minutes per turn - cool.
Kash (14:50:32 14/02/2010)
*WALL*
...
Scorp (14:53:48 14/02/2010)
Can you be born in the subway?
Kash (14:53:56 14/02/2010)
No.
Kash (14:54:04 14/02/2010)
Damn, it didn't occur to me right away that you were talking about the game.
Kash (14:54:17 14/02/2010)
I'm wondering what the subway has to do with it... :'
Scorp (14:56:00 14/02/2010)
r113
Kash (14:57:30 14/02/2010)
I have Valkyrie with 1 stack and Shakti with two, I was going to attack the Necropolis right away to convert them.
Scorp (14:57:44 14/02/2010)
Bug.
Scorp (14:57:56 14/02/2010)
6 archers in the castle *THUMBS UP*
...
Scorp (15:17:29 14/02/2010)
No GG, right?
Kash (15:18:59 14/02/2010)
I have one.
Scorp (15:19:04 14/02/2010)
:-)
Scorp (15:19:25 14/02/2010)
And he climbed all the way to my respawn point :'( There's no stopping you.
Kash (15:19:39 14/02/2010)
Is that your respawn point?
Scorp (15:19:43 14/02/2010)
Yes.
Kash (15:19:46 14/02/2010)
Then it's a bug.
Kash (15:19:49 14/02/2010)
Should we regenerate?
Scorp (15:19:53 14/02/2010)
Haha.
Kash (15:20:48 14/02/2010)
I have a GG in the treasure nearby.
Kash (15:20:53 14/02/2010)
Down.
Scorp (15:20:56 14/02/2010)
That's mine.
Kash (15:21:03 14/02/2010)
Where's mine?
Scorp (15:21:07 14/02/2010)
On my land - the subway.
Scorp (15:21:19 14/02/2010)
Recreate.
Scorp (15:21:43 14/02/2010)
There are no bugs :-D
Kash (15:21:57 14/02/2010)
First time.
Scorp (15:22:02 14/02/2010)
;D
...
Kash (15:24:59 14/02/2010)
1 stack :'( No, I can't play at this pace today... I moved once, killed a bunch of zombies, and even that was ruined.
Scorp (15:25:26 14/02/2010)
:-)
Kash (15:26:17 14/02/2010)
Ah-haha, you got Shakti :-D
Kash (15:26:34 14/02/2010)
Don't go to him on the first turn, he'll kill you.
Kash (15:26:44 14/02/2010)
With angels *ROFL*
Scorp (15:28:19 14/02/2010)
I'll join his angels with a machine gun ;-)
Kash (15:31:13 14/02/2010)
You can't join. It's against the rules ;D
Scorp (15:31:24 14/02/2010)
:-[:-P
Scorp (15:34:12 14/02/2010)
By the way - in the last (bug-free) generation, I had a fountain of mana.
Kash (15:34:28 14/02/2010)
Bug.
Scorp (16:21:57 14/02/2010)
I have a mana doubler again.
...
Scorp (16:35:13 14/02/2010)
I have mana again.
Kash (16:35:23 14/02/2010)
So I was wrong.
Kash (16:35:30 14/02/2010)
Or maybe it doesn't give it to the AI, I don't know.
Kash (16:35:45 14/02/2010)
It doesn't give it to the AI, I checked.
Kash (16:36:04 14/02/2010)
It gives it to the Sanctuary.
Scorp (16:43:12 14/02/2010)
I need two Sanctuaries :-[, one under the GG and the other under the castle.
...
Kash (17:08:35 14/02/2010)
)I don't know what I did now))) A bunch of heroes, and they're all at the castle.
Scorp (17:08:50 14/02/2010)
=-O
Scorp (17:09:03 14/02/2010)
And mine are all at the enemy's castle.
Scorp (17:21:14 14/02/2010)
A meeting of deputies of the seventh convocation ;-)
Scorp (17:21:58 14/02/2010)
And I lost a hero to the neutrals ((, even though it was a weak one, I feel bad.
Scorp (17:23:52 14/02/2010)
I put so much army on the artifact, and then left it in front of the enemy hero.
Scorp (17:24:45 14/02/2010)
I don't think he'll be rude to me...
...
Scorp (18:18:50 14/02/2010)
Mistake.
Kash (18:18:56 14/02/2010)
I'm leaving.
Scorp (18:18:57 14/02/2010)
I'm in the game.
Scorp (18:19:01 14/02/2010)
:-D
Kash (18:19:02 14/02/2010)
I'm not.
Scorp (18:19:09 14/02/2010)
Great.
Kash (18:19:09 14/02/2010)
Don't play without me.
...
Scorp (18:24:26 14/02/2010)
Get in.
Kash (18:24:50 14/02/2010)
Wait, don't start right away.
Kash (18:24:57 14/02/2010)
I don't see the castles.
Scorp (18:25:15 14/02/2010)
Wipe the dust off your screen )):-[
Kash (18:25:30 14/02/2010)
I still don't see them.
Kash (18:25:37 14/02/2010)
Whatever, try it.
...
Scorp (18:34:42 14/02/2010)
There's some kind of desynchronization with these AI, sometimes they get offended that they can't beat a person.
Scorp (18:34:47 14/02/2010)
I'm in the game.
Kash (18:34:55 14/02/2010)
Me too now.
Scorp (18:34:59 14/02/2010)
>)
Scorp (18:35:05 14/02/2010)
I'm going first.
... and so on.
I've lost my train of thought a bit, but basically I wanted to say that we're not playing for the sake of playing. Treat the game as a game, that's all.
Thanks for the games, Pradromalo. See you in the season.
Valenok, congratulations, you survived another test.
Wait for your opponent.
KillerVampire, XL', now we're waiting for you.
Let us know how you're doing.
And one of you three will face Dariel for a ticket to the final.
Good luck to everyone
KillerVampire, XL', now we're waiting for you.
Let us know how things are going.
We have the desire, but not the means.
(On the 13th, we were eager and wanted to start playing, but there's a catch:
the opponent's Hamachi isn't working properly, and in the GR, only one player can join the game at the start, while the other gets lost. It seems the versions are different.
Hopefully, everything will work out today, and the strongest will win.

*ROFL*
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:11:12 15/02/2010)
we'll both get to the leader and hero stages, we'll beat them and play again in the final
Deriel_Linch (15:11:29 15/02/2010)

VVВАЛЕНОК (15:11:37 15/02/2010)
we'll also participate in the beginner tournament, if I make it to the quarterfinals
Deriel_Linch (15:11:45 15/02/2010)

VVВАЛЕНОК (15:12:10 15/02/2010)
I suggest we draw in the beginner league too, and play in the final with three of us
Deriel_Linch (15:12:23 15/02/2010)
haha
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:12:24 15/02/2010)
or better, two of us against Satir
Deriel_Linch (15:12:29 15/02/2010)
us against Satir)
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:12:30 15/02/2010)

Deriel_Linch (15:13:13 15/02/2010)
hehe
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:13:18 15/02/2010)
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:13:29 15/02/2010)
we should suggest it to Kash...
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:13:40 15/02/2010)
to make the tournament more spectacular
Deriel_Linch (15:13:47 15/02/2010)
then you can send me the logs)
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:13:58 15/02/2010)
a mini-nostalgia game with three of us ))
Deriel_Linch (15:13:59 15/02/2010)
I'd like to see his reaction)
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:14:00 15/02/2010)
what's up
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:14:03 15/02/2010)
okay
Deriel_Linch (15:14:03 15/02/2010)
)
Deriel_Linch (15:14:10 15/02/2010)
I'll be the AI)
Deriel_Linch (15:14:22 15/02/2010)
in Treasure
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:14:38 15/02/2010)
and we'll call XL too, and we can play 4v1 against Jebus...
Deriel_Linch (15:14:48 15/02/2010)
3vs1)
Deriel_Linch (15:14:59 15/02/2010)
we'll gang up and tear him apart)
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:15:00 15/02/2010)
almost all of our group is here, only Lena is missing... we can get her too
Deriel_Linch (15:15:03 15/02/2010)
I don't know)
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:15:26 15/02/2010)
Group E VS Satir, that's a headline!
Deriel_Linch (15:15:29 15/02/2010)
and Lena will distract him in Ace)
VVВАЛЕНОК (15:15:40 15/02/2010)
exactly
...and in GR, only one player enters at the start of the game, while the other one gets lost(( apparently, the versions are different.
I hope everything works out today and the strongest one wins.
Guys, I'm counting on you. Keep me updated if anything happens.
Valyanok, Lynch, you can throw those things at me, all those VKontakte-style ideas :D Let's play a tournament, and then you can play in groups of three or eight :)
A game with more than two players is a completely different game :smile42:
1 week. 2 hidden swordsmen + Jeddit prevent taking a restart
Result: 1, 2, 4, 6 in the Castle, + Legion Head, + 113 secondary Conflux
2 weeks. I level up Jeddit to the level where he can transfer resurrection and level up the GM in the secondary
3 weeks. 4 GM - portal + clone, Kaitlin has 200 mana, experience in earth, logistics, and intelligence.
I thought about going to Utopia (3 days of travel), but 134, I break the GO (a horde of Bone Dragons) without losses, enter the magic stream, and I have 400 mana, I stand at the metro gates.
135 I take Dungeon Killer, enter the fire pillar, and Gurnisson is in my turn's field
FF, my Maginya finished it
Thank you for the game!
See you on the battlefields!
Here's a classic example of luck; just two days short of getting the cloak, and the magic power wouldn't have mattered anymore :) :(
Thanks for the game, the tournament was great, although there were some real newbies :) The skill level of everyone remaining is about the same, and you can believe me on that....
The tournament is moving towards its logical conclusion; only 3-4 games remain. And the first BA/IEHOK-XL' match will take place approximately on Sunday, February 21st, around 7:00 PM Moscow time. This is quite precise because we've scheduled a broadcast and visuals. We're waiting.
The skill level of all the remaining players is roughly the same, and you can believe me on that.
Yes, I immediately realized what kind of "newbies" are gathered here. I wanted to play with real beginners...
