03/14/2010 Gomunguls (Blue, Tower, Pikuedram, Gurnisson) def Van (Red, Inferno, Aiden, Kalh) balance, 1.1.4
It was, thanks for the game.

03/13/2010 Pit for LM (blue, Rampart, Ufretein, Ivor) def Looser (red, Castle, Rion, Lakussa), 2sm4d(3), 131.
We took all the restarts. The starting conditions were decent, although my opponent probably had a slightly better start.
111 - near the Castle, a stable, some money, 3 elves and Ivor in the main town. 112 - a group of elves, a crypt. 113 - broke through to the swamp, there's a conservatory by the road. 114 - a secondary town, a crypt, a centaur ambush was repelled. Further down the road, there's another conservatory on the swamp. Not bad, Ivor's territory is already well-developed. 115 - I eliminate the last centaurs, breaking through to the second swamp. There's a +10 to ranged attack. I found a cloak of speed. I got a slow spell in the scroll! 116 - I return the army to repel a couple of treasure chests and a pegasus ambush. 117 - unicorns and a Castle.
121 - I rush back home, buy a book, and build a maximum-sized dwarven warehouse. 122 - I take it, gloves, and only 1 angel... 123 - +3 angels, that's good. But I make a big mistake and don't enter the swamp to replenish mana... 124 - a cloak of speed, dwarven warehouses of 10, Ivor skips an entire turn in the Castle. 125 - I go on the attack through the secondary town. Lakussa, although she has good stats, doesn't seem to have many troops. Along the way, I also repel a charm for morale/luck. 126 - +4 wyverns on the opponent's secondary town, a +2+2 sword there as well, I lost 3 unicorns guarding it due to greed, luckily there was no morale. 127 - I settle in the secondary town (Dungeon with a town hall), losing 1 angel, I send the hero to the opponent, and he sees 3 uncaptured hives standing by the road...
131 - Lakussa and her companions take all the hives. There's nothing to do - I attack:
Ivor (7, 10, 2, 3 (60)), expert in attack, ranged attack, earth magic, and sorcery, +2 speed and +3 morale/luck, 4 wyverns, 7 unicorns, 29 pegasus, 3 angels, 96 centaurs, 15 dendroids, and 41 high elves; Lakussa (17, 10, 5, 9 (85)), expert in tactics, defense, attack, fire magic, logistics, wisdom, advanced earth magic, +1 speed, +1 luck, 24 wyverns, 18 royal griffins, 3 angels, 3 champions, 1 core griffin, 18 undead, and 19 pikemen.
A massive slow spell, which I couldn't remove, did its job, and Ivor easily won. At the end of the battle, the elves with double luck and morale took out all the angels in one round :smile10:
Thank you for the game.

I confirm. Thank you for the game.

Forrest (blue swamp rozzik, Tazar) def Alessandro (red Rampart Ufretin Mephala) smka 1-3-2

WT no experience tax bank (without anything in general)

Immediately checking the Griffin Conservatory 3-4. In the tavern Tazarini :)
Right there is a tree and library - we play.
I break through two lairs. On the other side, medusa and marksmen heroes.
I add an upgrade to the lizards and an upgrade to the flies. I kill the marks. There I take Necro - nothing else there.
From chains, I farmed some more gold and 3 external dwellings of gnolls. Found an external dwelling of hydras.
Tazar smashed into it and took it on day 117 with the loss of a gnoll.
Tazar with Loga, earth magic, and scouting. Home hydras in a fort with the external dwelling.
On day 121 I smash Tazar home. I take the mine tree behind 100 elves.
On day 122 I place the Conservatory at level 3. (minus 2 geese) Before this, Galthrag takes the max medusa dwelling for splitting. After the Conservatory, Galthran kills the 4th Naga Bank with upgrades - no losses. Tazar. After the Conservatory, takes the library and smashes, then runs to the metro towards the medusas (there is a treasure zone right there).
On day 123 in the metro, I visit the obelisk. Loshek takes the dungeon. All chains unfold there (Conservatory and Dragon Utopia). Galthran goes to the Conservatory. Tazar turned into the treasure zone. Loshek took the gold mine. Tazar upgrades 40 psychos. (minus 4 geese) But the main wizard - the box is empty. I also take a box with all the air for gold behind the golems, and the 8th tree.
1-2-6 difficult turn. Tazar sends the mana potion to Israe. It goes through the chain to Galthran at the Conservatory (he takes any one) - minimal, a pity. Return. Mana potions to the dungeon. Tazar smashes there from the spot. He learns a second tower. Gets the mana potion and through the well to the Dragon Utopia. Kills the liches. Dragon Utopia 1-2 - I decide to go in because tempo is important. Although there is another treasure zone nearby. But right here is also the path to the opponent.
Tazar 8-11-10-60 with 4 angels, 10 geese, 5 basic hydras, 30 gnolls, a fly, and 21 trogs go into the level 2 Dragon Utopia.
I lose 3 geese and the gnolls with trogs. Blue cap, sphere of vulnerability, bracers of +3 mana. First time I reveal Tazar. (Scouting is dangerous here - there's a pass.)
On day 127 I check the passage to the opponent. Loshek dives in there accelerated.
I jump into the treasure zone with Dimension Door. There I free Jabas - level 20, expert Loga. He delivers the mana potion to the dungeon. Tazar smashes there. Builds a double - 180 mana.

On day 131 I kill the horde of minotaurs. 15,000 gold and 70 hobbits. Mana potion for upgrades. Tazar uses Dimension Door to the zone border. (ГО was a bunch of bears and a horde of sultans - very far away)
On day 132 all the mana potion is delivered, including 9 chaos hydras. And Tazar, using Dimension Door, takes the Rampart. There is already a Capitol there (respawns were rich. On day 115 I had 13000, the opponent had more) - income becomes 7500. I prepare to smash Jabas there with a ballista and cosmic parameters. But a capitulation follows. Thank you for the game

FireToSky (red, Rampart, UFRETIN-MUZHIK, Labetha\Crag) def wowa (blue, Castle, Lyon, Damacon), 8mm6, 143
111 - 4 heroes, immediately Labetha and Moandor, near the castle I take a scout: I reveal 3 crypts and 3 upgrade structures close to each other. The plan for the coming days is set :)
112 - in two upgrade structures, Moandor gets Eagle Learning! Screw him - I'll be leveling Labetha :)
113 - 7 heroes. The crypts are looted clean! Labetha has Earth magic, Moandor has Slow in his spellbook, so soon through Literacy Labetha will have Slow!
114 - Scouts take down an external dwelling of elves, total now 19 (green ones so far)
116 - Labetha gets Logistics !!! Moves to the adjacent swamp zone
117 - external dwelling of Dendroids, Labetha breaks through to the metro (as it first seemed to me - the path to the brown Inferno). Horses in the Citadel + market
121 - I beat 20-49 trolls, free Crag 10 lvl with Expert Logistics and Expert Scouting and other skills. I fumble, mix up armies and attack 20-49 Green Dragon Flies with Crag with junk - I retreat. Lost a couple of tempo turns
122 - the passage to the hellish land is blocked by 20-49 yellow Dragon Flies. I go around.
123 - at the zone crossroads a dilemma: down is hellish land and up is also hellish. I go down, see a Griffin Conservatory - minimal.
124 - another Griffin Conservatory 2-ka and Medusa house - Labetha with Expert Logistics + Expert Air. Crag meanwhile is heading for the Naga Bank to the upper hellish land)
125 - Naga Bank, another Griffin Conservatory 1-ka
126 - I see boots and a club +5 attack behind 20-49 Green Harpies. I'm planning to fight with Labetha after all. Meanwhile, the scouts are messing around in the swamps and take down a shield +3
127 - I take the boots, club, Crag beats a Dwarf dwelling, reveals a Dragon Utopia. In town, Mage Guild level 4 is being built, which has Berserk and Resurrection.
131 - Crag beats 35 Wyverns for a Pandora's Box of 10k experience. He gained Expert Resistance, Offense, Expert Air, and Expert Wisdom
132 - Fast Crag takes a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 Wyverns
133 - There's a lot of interesting stuff here :) First, Elleazar (with a View Earth scroll, which I forgot to give to Labetha last turn) attacks a Dungeon village with one fairy, resulting in 13 Harpies there which he cannot defeat :( - he retreats, meanwhile Labetha likewise breaks into the capital to learn Resurrection, in order to take the first revealed Dragon Utopia, after which the precious Elleazar disappeared along with the scroll he had been carrying since week 2))) Crag takes a Griffin Conservatory 3-ka and a max beehive and targets the 2nd Dragon Utopia. Moandor meanwhile prepares the ground for the 1st Dragon Utopia - kills 100+ Golems (31 Skeletons)
134 - Labetha breaks into the Dungeon village and runs to Dragon Utopia #1. Crag with 6 Angels (1 remained with Labetha for speed) and 7 Unicorns, 18 Wyverns, 60+ Centaurs, 60+ Skeletons, and 12 Dwarves and 15 Dendroids takes the pre-max Dragon Utopia. All Angels and Wyverns survived + 9 Dendroids - gave shield +4 all, sandals +2 all, Titan's Cuirass, and Legs of Legion
135 - Labetha takes the mini Dragon Utopia without losses - gives Air Book, cloak +2/2 knowledge, a spell, and Frozen Dragon Eye. Breaks back into the dungeon, takes a turn for the Golden Bow behind 100+ Ice Elementals
136 - 2x Mana for Labetha in the Dungeon - total 560 (+Intelligence). Stats 13-10-25-14. Through Air Magic I see a neutral town in another metro passage - Crag takes it, Labetha breaks into it.
137 - Crag with junk runs along the path, kills wowa's scout hero, 2 Town Portals are visible (green and brown - both SOD ones). Roughly recalling Wicc's article I read about reading templates :) I jump with Labetha into the green one - and end up in wowa's capital! I build Portal of Glory - stay the night there. wowa forces Crag to flee in fear
141 - I attack Damacon's folder - more meat and stats, but cunning wowa on Haste kills 2 Angels and buys time :). I jump into the brown portal, take wowa's Fortress, once belonging to the green swamp guy :)
142 - through Air Magic I find wowa and run in his direction
143 - On the last moves I catch up to wowa by jumping into the dark (one blue flag turned out to be at the star, which aroused suspicion))), where the esteemed one stands at speed on a Dragon Utopia with 8 Angels. A beautiful and spectacular Fireball didn't happen - the blues capitulate!
Thank you for an engaging game!
P.S. in 3 out of 5 games in the tournament Labetha is rolled as the main :)

Forrest (blue Sylvan Rozzik, Tazar) def Alessandro (red Rampart Ufretin, Mephala) smka 1-3-2

Confirmed. The skill difference is too great today.
Thank you for the game.

SEM_56 (blue, Castle, Rion, Turis) def Scorp (red, Inferno, Zudar, Grindar/Alkin) 2SM4d(3) 131
We took all the remaining turns, the distribution was good, but there wasn't enough composure. Luna and Ciel organized a second front with them...
On turn 122, I lost 5 knights in a confrontation against 2 angels, there was a lot of morale boosting. The opponent makes a mistake with the main hero(((
On turn 126, I place angels in the castle, take another consultant for an angel, and max out the nagashnik on turn 127 without magic..
On turn 131, the opponent makes a redraw, leaves the game, and congratulates me on the victory, thank you for the time and good luck!!!

FireToSky (red, Rampart, UFRETIN-MUZHIK, Labetta\Craig) def wowa (blue, Castle, Rion, Damacon), 8mm6, 143

confirming :)

got a pretty compact respawn, teleport near the castle, pushing into the underground -- 2 roads: one to the opponent, the 2nd to my own AI-swamp
on the 2nd day I upgrade archers (they weren't there), push toward the AI and soon it dies
heroes run further from the swamp through lava to a dead-end village; Damacon got tactics -- decide to level him up
result of the week: horses in citadel, external dwelling of pokemons, AI has geese, confluence at respawn, confluence after the swamp when exiting to lava, observers spotted Dragon Utopia and a confluence on the way to it in the underground
week 2: village taken in another underground area, below the roads the roof of another Dragon Utopia is visible :) Damacon, taking a Hive on the way there, breaks back home for acceleration; with a dummy hero for growth along the way back of the army home, I fought off a refuge behind a horde of water elementals -- upgraded stack and near-maximum horde, fight went sideways, lost part of the horses and a goose (TE and WT vigilance makes one complacent in this regard))))
papa is already with logistics and book, through the Hive for master djinns on the swamp, runs to the first confluence and at the border of weeks takes a 3, eating a naga bank of 4 on the way
then confluence on the grass at own respawn and toward Dragon Utopia (guards for breaking it are far, so on foot, luckily the respawn is small; on the way beats a hat +4 knowledge behind zealots, and the dummy following him spots an external dwelling of angels deep in the respawn behind a pack of champions -- but the angels already left, so I build a chain to it and plan to take it with the dummy after taking Dragon Utopia in the underground; at home preparing to put in the angels
but then at the end of the week Craig arrives first, and then Labetta flies-Dimension Doors in with parameters, angels, and other power -- they killed all the dummies from the chain :(
on my turn, breaking Dragon Utopia (shield 4 to all and resist boots), I drive Craig away through the remains of the chain and stand in upgraded fly, all angels+1 - he attacks, mass haste, counter-attack with fly from angels, kill a couple and buy out on 1
then he takes the capital, then quickly reaches the swamp and runs to the last village
Damacon, having bought out in it, tries to reach Dragon Utopia via winding underground -- but I didn't know if I'd make it this turn or not, so I didn't pass resources, and entering it with the last move, spent the night on acceleration with angels -- was sure the opponent couldn't reach
nevertheless Labetta in boots with expert logistics, stables and Dimension Door, spotting shields, attacks with the last cell and ГГ, and nothing helped at that moment: movement range there is huge, no way to escape or fight back once caught anyway: opponent successfully used a couple of main heroes, got lucky with the air book, and arrived at the most inconvenient time for me, which wasn't hard in terms of searching with expert air observation

thanks to the opponent for the game and good luck in the tournament! :)

21.03.2010. OUTLAW(red, Castle, Loynis, Tamika) def PReDS(blue, Fortress, Verdish/Valeska),8mm6,1-4-6
Start on the slowest roads, on the first day 5 heroes - Tamika without hesitation goes to the main stack. Mid-week I visited the stables, broke through the underground metro to the basement, cleared what I could there, but then the escort for the archers became too small, I had to turn the cavalry back to the home respawn for the treasure chests, the campfire, and a pile of wood that wasn't enough for the cavalry. Week result - cavalry in the fort. In the basement, scouted from the watchtower, a treasure zone with 2 beehives nearby behind light guardians. Tamika with expert Necromancy and Attack spends the night at the stables.
At the start of the 2nd week, I break through a block to the neighboring zone - also grass, shook down a decent amount of cash and skeletons there. Broke into the basement to the Griffin Conservatory scouted from the neighboring zone. But the road was blocked by over 100 gr. snakes with a bonus to earth, turn the cavalry around. At the end of the week, in one of the explored teleports, Valeska appears with hydras, wyverns, a pack of basilisks. Just in case, I set up a chain for an ambush, but Valeska runs away to unexplored territories. At home, I build Castle + Griffins with growth + external dwelling Swordsmen. The MC prepares to break into the capital and start in the treasure zone.
On the 3rd week, I clear my treasure zone for 2 angels, 30+ wyverns, leveled Wisdom, Logistics, and Catapult (since I planned an assault on the opponent later) to expert, Gloves of the Wizard's Apprentice, +1 all
Scouts at this time wage a fierce war for territory exploration, also periodically break the chain between Val and her homeland for the blue player.
I start towards the Pandora's Box for a horde of Behemoths - and there's all the air!!! and immediately my head starts aching from plans.....
At the end of the week, I maneuvered using Dimension Door near the central zone in the basement, where there was a bunch of teleports and underground passages and, most importantly, a well. Managed to defeat 8 lvl Verdish on gr. flies, who decided to cast Lightning Bolt for 150+ damage (I then buy her back in the tavern on the 4th week).
On the 4th week, Valeska with expert Tactics bounces off Tamika and heads home. Meanwhile, I take +6 Attack and break into the Griffin Conservatory for 3 angels and prepare to take the Dragon Utopia on the opponent's scouted territory.
I take the Dragon Utopia(3) - Cape of 5th Magic, Shield +12, Water Elemental Boost and Orb of the Firmament. On my turn, Valeska attacks and surrenders...
Thank you for the intense battle!!

OUTLAW (red, Castle, Loynis, Tamika) def PReDS (blue, Swamp, Verdish/Valeska), 8mm6, 1-4-6

I stuck hydras into the Citadel, + an external dwelling of angels. Made a gross mistake in navigating the terrain in the middle of the second week, as a result of which on the third week red easily took the treasure zone near the exit from their spawn, which I had walked past. :o When I saw Dimension Door, it got really sad. Then came some rather unclear maneuvers that gave some hope, but when I finally managed to teleport Val[eska] home and she was waiting on initiative to take the Dragon Utopia that red seemed to have forgotten about, Tamika came to her senses and took it right under my nose. After that there were no options — I thought about surrendering right away, but decided not to deprive the opponent of a finish: handed over the army, attacked, and surrendered.
Thanks for the game.
