SpiriTT (blue, Conflux, Tazar, Tazar) def Kash (red, Conflux, random = Ciel, Luna) 8mm6a, 137 TE-light

Thanks for the game.

What can I say, it was my first experience playing as Luna :)
I enjoyed it.
Thanks for the game.

To accommodate player requests, we decided to draw the pairings for the second round in advance so that people could play during the weekend. There were two pairs that hadn't played yet, and they were given a conditional score of 0.5-0.5. If you provide the result of the first round by Monday, we will adjust the pairings for pairs 8 and 9. The rest can play freely. Good luck to all the newcomers in the first week! ;)

Thank you for the pairings.
It would be even better if you also provided a list of participants with their contact information.

Guys, I added the bracket for the second round in the second post, but everything before that was deleted((( I'll have to restore it, but probably not today or even tomorrow. You can find it in the thread; if you really need it, please don't be too upset. The deadline for the second round is March 15, 2010.

wowa (Necro, Goshwan) def Феликс(Conflux, random, Dessa) 141, SMS

that's pretty much how it went, maybe I shouldn't slack off at all =(

Logisti k (red, Tower, Torosar, Dessa) def scorp (blue, Castle, Gurney, Gurney) 2sm4d(3), 132

One path to the Guardian Tower for the blue team... After the final battle, a crash occurred, but (thankfully) the opponent acknowledged the defeat.
Thank you for the game!

Logisti k (red, Tower, Torosar, Dessa) def scorp (blue, Citadel, Gurney, Gurney) 2sm4d(3), 132
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed

Gurney came without a ballista, on exit 10-19 flies for the obelisk, fortunately wolves are built, I put birds + meat from the second hero for their offense, scout split, a stable is found, but there's no one to give 6 gogs and a couple of imps to so that the GG could reach the stable, I decide not to go to it and break through the thieves because I'd have to go either along the road or only through the thieves (just enough meat for the birds to survive)
112 I see one road and towards the GO, I break through 50-99 Centaurs for hire )) ballista (war machine shop), can't buy it because I brought troops (0 gold), Gurney 5411 (upgraded ballista, basic logistics - what more could one need for happiness, a couple of roads)
113 I break through a portal using the machine gun (20-49 witches), but on the other side on the grass there are storms (alas, can't handle) - they saved me from an early defeat )) because that would have been an early meeting with the opponent
Now I need to find a pass through the rough terrain, I couldn't have been completely surrounded by rocks and under the GO, only once was I off (by 5 cells) in the direction of this pass (confusing dark rocks with dirt terrain (( )
There's Isra with Pathfinding and a CLOAK +10% Necromancy, but alas, can't unfold in these plans
115 Found a pass to the grass (10-19 basilisks)
116 Broke through, there's a stable
117 Elven secondary hero (immediately built elves) saw an artifact +5% Necro, there's a Dwarf Cottage on the grass, a bunch of crypts, but the army only allows fighting with the ballista (( 3 birds and a few goblins
121 Beat off what I could, built a chain from the home town, need to bring over the main stacks because that secondary hero is the opponent's native one, not mine
122 Army became 7 birds, 31 hounds, 14 grand elves, (no spell book, 80 mana), stats 7824, I'm at the opponent's respawn in front of 20-49 Pikemen for a shield +3/+3 and a tier 3 growth artifact
123 Moral pikemen took out both elves and the machine gun (on the last morale of the last stack, there were 49 of them), also brought a batch of dwarves and centaurs, and what a long road it turned out to be to the castle (alas, didn't make it), but on the red turn I learned they have Mass Slow, I buy back for 6k+ on my turn by selling most of my resources at the enemy black market ))
124 I buy back in Rampart, build a Citadel (Dessa is one day away), but for some reason went into another steppe (???)
125 I hit a Dwarf Cottage of 30 - seems like some money appeared, I get beaten in my home
127 I position myself in front of the portal because the opponent was moving on the other side, to steal the Conservatory on his secondary hero and possibly level up the purchased Gosha (after all +15% artifacts and Pathfinding for snow from the hut)
131 The Conservatory is level three, 100 Troglodytes from Shakti went as meat, it was taken easily, but alas, I couldn't send everything back through the portal, I was attacked by Dessa, as it turned out the Conservatory is half a day from the castle ((
Gurney 11 11 3 4, finally a spell book, but what good is it if there's no Haste, no Cure, no Dispel, while having Resist at a whopping 10% )), it once triggered on wolves (30 of them) and they viciously struck the blue hero for ALL those standing under the opponent's fire, took a long time to kill Gurney under Slow 11 11 against Dessa's 55, and at the end of the battle - heroes crash )) gg

Thanks for the game

Gomunguls (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def RomarioGrom (Red, Tower, Nella, Nella) 2sm4d(3), 1.4.1

We restarted many times... I took both, opponent 1... at first there were blocks... then Valeska came with 1 stack and the tavern had a tent keeper with 10 Pikemen and a Bearded with a crowd of Dwarves... I thought, well then)).. decided to go for it. Then there were 2 times with 116 each... and then we started...
The starting position was great.. somewhere around day 2 I already had 8 heroes, 2 of which were +350... I grab 2 crypts - max and pre-max... everyone scatters in different directions... lots of money... I captured the Dungeon, transfer the army down the chain to Valeska and capture Inferno, and then the picture becomes clear that I can build Angels!!! It's been a long time since that happened)) the Angels went into the Citadel without any trouble... on day 1 there's about 10k and I buy them all out and break the Naga Bank and Medusa Farm.. then Shakti came with a bunch of Troglodytes and also started clearing the respawn... in short, I started active operations) I went for the Griffin Conservatory (3), captured an external dwelling of Drakes and set up a portal in the Dungeon... on day 2 I finished the Castle, took a few more crypts and the Naga Bank... then on 1.2.7 I went to the treasure zone.. well, the treasure zone let me down, nothing decent was there... just a box +15k experience.. I wanted to break into the town, when a scout hero spotted a Dragon Utopia... I rush towards it... dive in from the get-go at 1.3.6 and it's max there))) thankfully Valeska was already level 18 with stats 14 13.. I lost an Angel and someone else there... the town is fully built!!!! in the Dragon Utopia I got a Helm, a Shield +12, Armor +4 (attack defense)... I upgraded everyone and fly over the ГО.. was 1 tile short of taking the town... I take the town without losses thanks to the Archangels (there were 6)... and I started thinking whether to run back to town for the army or to head towards the enemy secondary along the road... I set up a lookout in the Tower and there was no one nearby... I jump via Dimension Door and run along the road, and there's an enemy scout hero near the town and the ГГ on the rush... I attack and kill both...
Nella was roughly the same in stats... there was a КЗ and a Cauldron (+6 all)... my explosion damage was much smaller... so it wasn't for nothing that I rushed!!!
Thanks for the game!!!

Gomunguls(Синий,Замок,Валеска,Валеска)def RomarioGrom(Красный,Башня,Нелла,Нелла)2sm4d(3),1.4.1

I agree, the rest was long:) on the 1st I took Rampart, there are elves, Flax covered the Dragon Utopia and the hive guard, naga dwellings + external dwelling of gremlins. 2nd running across the grass, I find a consulate, Throngov's hive, and from the overview I see a +6 helmet and the Dragon Utopia in an adjacent treasure zone; Nelka already has expert air and sees everything. 3rd consulate(3), hive, and went into the treasure zone; Valya is also not far from it, I take a couple of hives, earth book, 2 boxes for 15k, experted search, log, earth, attack. 137 Valya flies into the Dragon Utopia but doesn't notice the helmet; on the next turn I take it and run away. 141 wanted to buy up, but Valya is already at the Castle and blocked the passage :eek: I crash back to Rampart to replenish mana; in 1 turn the capital fell, loh with meat and Nelka...

Thanks for the game!

Loi, where are you? We haven't seen you online for over a week.

wowa (Inferno, Marusya, Nimus) def SEM_56 (Castle, Valya) 126, @2smd4(3)

The opponent, realizing that you can't slow down against Inferno, sped up the pace and rushed in with a 2nd-week army, attacking head-on: 30 oak serpents, and he lost :(
But, in my opinion, Castle, with normal development, initially outpaces Inferno, so with a calm tempo, having 4 cons, they were breaking into my territory in the early 3rd week (or even at the end of the 2nd, if the cons were closer to the roads))) when there weren't even any uber-demons yet, even though I had started breeding them :)
True, I had prospective hives and cons right on the roads, so I was always running away into the treasure, and then it all depended on how the RNG coin would fall :D
But nevertheless, we didn't get to run around much, thanks to the opponent for the game :)

wowa (Inferno, Marusya, Nimus) def SEM_56 (Castle, Valya) 126, @2smd4(3)

Realizing that you can't slow down against Inferno, my opponent sped up the pace and rushed in with a 2nd-week army, attacking head-on: 30 oak drakes, and then he lost. :(
But, in my opinion, Castle has an advantage over Inferno in the early game, so with a calm tempo, having 4 cons, they were invading me at the beginning of the 3rd week (or even at the end of the 2nd, if the cons were closer to the roads))) when there wasn't even a hint of uber-demons, even though I started breeding them. :)
However, I had promising hives and cons right on the roads, so I always retreated to the treasure, and then it all depended on the RNG-based coin flip. :D
But nevertheless, we didn't get to run around much, thanks to my opponent for the game. :)

I lost in max-nagashnik, and that's what I deserved, thanks for the time!!!:smile06:

06.03.2010 Erdem (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Alessandro (Red, Inferno, Octavia, Gunnar), 2sm4d(3), 115

From the start 31 archers, on day 2 a secondary Dungeon, 9 heroes, lots of money, horses were placed in the Citadel, medusas from an external dwelling and a portal. There was also an Inferno secondary, but behind the horde of gr. lizards. On day 115 the opponent surrenders, refuses auto. After the game I looked at the save and realized I was lucky — the opponent had 2 external dwellings of demons on respawn, a potential swamp secondary, Gunnar already with gloves, also had boots on respawn. :eek: But it wasn't meant to be... Thanks for the game and your time! =)

Redwhait (blue, Castle, Vala, Crag) def Loi (red, Necropolis, Gosh) Jebus 136

I decided to leave Gosh to my opponent and took Castle myself.
We started without respawns. On 111 I was given an Angel external dwelling; on 112 another Angel external dwelling, and I was showered with heroes: Kyrre, Crag, Vala gave attack, Kyrre gave defense, but I took Crag because of Earth Magic. There were only 22 archers, guards of external dwellings: Gargoyles and Scorpions. After leveling up a bit, I took a Sword +4 and a Griffin external dwelling. I went against the Gargoyle guards in front of the dwelling; they immediately got morale. In the end, 19 remained, but I took a risk and entered the external dwelling. Afterwards, I felt relieved because the Angels never got morale. On 117, I built Angel upgrade and took the second external dwelling.
On 121, I bought Angels from the castle and from the first external dwelling. I took a Shield +12-3 and 20 Fanatics from a chest.
Next, with Crag, who has Logistics and Navigation, on the way to the Dragon Utopia, I take a minor Beehive, move the army back. The weaklings take the level 2 Griffin Conservatory and the Beehive for 8 Wyverns. I return everything to Crag; he goes into the Dragon Utopia — 1-2 Super. I leave the Wyverns there and a feast gives +11 All and a Cape of Haste. I split the army and go to the second one — there is a Helm of Titan and a Sphere of Vulnerability. I upgrade the Angels, of which there are 10, and head to the center.
I break through a hundred Pit Lords, then work through the center. Along the way, I stumble upon Archers guarding КЗ. I attacked — they just fled))) I found a Dragon Utopia with control in the form of Wings and a Hat of level 5. I took the Dungeon. Then, at my base respawn, I took a Dragon Utopia with a Tome of Air, and now with 15 Archers and 5 Red Dragons, all that remained was to find Gosh, which wasn't hard — he was wandering around the ramp respawn he had broken into, hoping for a "Dragon Utopia with control" :) While flying and jumping, I took a maximum Griffin Conservatory and an Armor +1 All. When I found Gosh, he had a Cloak and stats several times worse. Butter. Killed 4 enemy Angels in the second round. We kill the horses, and my opponent congratulates me on the victory.
Thanks for the game. So for the second time in the tournament against Gosh, and again I get lucky :)

Redwhait(синий, кастл,валя,крег) def loi(красный,некр,гошан) Jebus 136

It happened. I still didn't intuit the rest, overlooked a block of 20+ Djinns guarding the sea artifact and external dwellings of horses blocking the road, the ore mine and the only Dragon Utopia(mini), no cons... On the first map, I still couldn't find another ore mine, had to struggle with chains—placed dragons in the Castle, external dwellings of horses and skeletons. On the second, I ate the mini-Dragon Utopia—there were 4-4 armor and slag, didn't even bother replenishing mana—broke through ГО using 4 crystals—then—along two roads 50+ gr. Efreet and 50+ gr. Liches—without mana and tactics, they broke through with critical losses. Foreseeing the arrival of the blues in the center at the start of the third—decided to go to a side location—hoping to dig up control, while avoiding meeting Craig with his sky-high stats and heap of Archangels. But—they didn't even let me play guerrilla :)
Thanks for the game, Necro is not in favor today...

It was. Poor map. Thanks for the game.
