злой_романтик (Red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Kash (Blue, Conf, Kalt, Kalt) replay 115
We used all restarts. First, Vitya spoiled a couple of good draws for me, especially one — I took 2 external dwellings of levis and 3 crypts :( , then I didn't stay in debt either, in the end we started ;)
111 - dealt well - 4 heroes, but 2 of them money heroes, plenty of gold and resources lying around, 3 extra elves, stables right at the gate, one of the money heroes is Gelare - has a speed boost on butterflies :) , I scout 2 naga banks. Visited the main mercenary camp and stopped before the entrance to the underground - guarded by fairies, the scout hero runs home to upgrade elves.
112 - I hit the fairies - due to morale I lose a fair amount of blockers :( , next 15 dendroids - good, they land without losses, I run along the road - 3rd naga bank - guarded by zombies :) , I scout the edge of the Griffin Conservatory, in the end Kyrre is level 3, but the log doesn't offer it - I take shooting and air, stopped almost at the entrance to Inferno, buy a 5th hero, external dwellings of centaurs, dwarves, dendroids and unicorns are scouted :)
113 - I take Inferno. I hit the butterflies - guardians of the Griffin Conservatory. Again damn morale :smile10: , almost no blockers left :( The Conservatory is minimal without griffins, scout heroes collect resources and gold, plans start to appear to capture all external dwellings by day 7 ;) Kyrre on butterflies, 6th hero
114 - Financial difficulties begin, out of money sources there are 3 naga banks, but try taking them on day 1 :( so I don't split up but just dumbly run out of the underground :( , scout heroes take the centaur external dwelling - there's a blocker :) I hire pegasuses
115 - I take the dendroid external dwelling, gain shooting experience, position myself to be able to farm as much gold as possible, hire knights, wanted to also buy at the unicorn external dwelling... but Vitya didn't go for it - no air elementals, nothing to fight with, and he decided not to drag it out. Too bad the generator dealt everything to one side, I thought with such a draw I could have fought Honor decently ;)
Thanks for the game, means you'll have luck in poker today :smile02:

There's not much to say, except that I managed to lose all 6 air units, didn't even get any psykers out, and only leveled up my hero to level 2 (on the starting tile). Thanks for the game.

Took all restarts... decent starting position, heroes were wrong initially but on day 2 Crag came)... heading to the computers! Take out the 1st one fine, but the 2nd frayed my nerves... take him out on the 2nd day, and don't head to the 3rd as it's too long... grab a Conservatory 2 and no more Dragon Fly Hives or Conservatories... move on, pick up a +6 sword for 80+ Storm Spirits, then a +4 attack artifact... break 2 Dwarf Cottages... played somewhat carelessly((... but seems I managed to do everything I wanted..... at the start of week 3 break a Dragon Utopia (2 Black Dragons). Got many good things and KV.... smash into town, Dimension Door there and break 20+ Efreets for an Air Spell Orb... next turn fly into the opponent's respawn and break a Dragon Utopia there, also give great items (gave a teapot =))... next turn fly into the treasure zone... kill 80+ Monks for a Pandora's Box and 12 Angels guarding a Dragon Utopia and a Pandora's Box +10000 gold... break the Dragon Utopia at the end of the week, it gives a Helm of the 5th levels... stats 30 20 22 19.... on week 4 Dimension Door to the enemy and immediately capture the capital..... scout there and after 2 scouting scrolls illuminate the entire opponent's respawn... run into the underground, grab another Dragon Utopia, Pandora's Box, and KZ... emerge and the opponent captures their capital... attack, block the gate.... and blast with magic!
Thanks for the game!!!

03.04.2010 Erdem (Red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def loi (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 124

From the start, I had 29 archers; on week 1, I took a secondary Barbarian town, with a +5% bow and a +6 sword behind the Hive faction area, Spirit of Oppression, Ring of Life. I checked two conscripts on rocks (both were strong), and cleared a treasure zone in the desert. At home, I have horses without griffons in the citadel, and spirits in the fortress as a second town. On week 2, I cleared the Medusa's lair and checked conscripts with shooters (both are level 2). From the north barbarian respawn point, Shakti arrived. Tanom kills two blue scouts, then Red Gunnar chases him out from the teleport. Valya takes the first conscript camp, heads to the second, but Shakti surrenders at the moral Naga bank. Thanks for the game and your time!

03.04.2010 Erdhem (Red, Castle, Valiska, Valiska) def Loi (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 124

That happened. I snuck 80 troglodytes onto the first level against 42 gold golems, then completely lost to a morale-boosted and a regular full stack of nagas...
Thanks for the game.

Took all the restarts...decent spawn, at first the heroes were wrong but on day 2 Kyrre showed up)...I head to the computers! I kill the 1st one easily, but the 2nd one frayed my nerves...I finally finish him off on the 2nd, and I don't go to the 3rd because it takes too long...I grab a Griffin Conservatory 2 and no more Dragon Fly Hives or Conservatories...I move on, I take a sword +6 for 80+ Storm Spirits, then an artifact +4 to attack...I break 2 Dwarf Cottages...I played a bit carelessly((...but I think I managed to do everything I wanted.....at the start of the 3rd week I break a Dragon Utopia (with 2 black dragons). They gave a lot of good stuff and KV.... I rout the enemy in the town, then I Dimension Door there and break 20+ Efreets for an Orb of the Air...the next turn I fly to the opponent's respawn and break a Dragon Utopia there, they give cool stuff too (they gave a Tea Set=))...the next turn I fly to the treasure zone...there I kill 80+ Monks for a Pandora's Box and 12 Angels guarding a Dragon Utopia and a Pandora's Box +10000 gold...I break the Dragon Utopia at the end of the week, they give a Cap of 5th level spells there...stats 30 20 22 19....on the 4th week I use Dimension Door to the opponent and immediately capture the capital.....there I do some scouting and after 2 Lookout Towers I see the entire opponent's respawn...I run into the underground, there I grab another Dragon Utopia, a Pandora's Box, and KZ...I come out and the opponent recaptures his capital...I attack, block the gate....and it's a magic shootout!
Thanks for the game!!!

It was
Thanks for the game

Alessandro, it's quiet on AIM, I'm waiting for you for the battle, time is running out, if anything, let me know, I'm waiting.

Captain (Red, Tower, Torosar, Torosar) def RomarioGrom (Blue, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) Panic 145

The opponent surrendered the capital – he ran for Pandora, but there was only weak stuff. And my mage was very strong – 100 knowledge and over 300 lightning damage; with mages, I could have won without melee units.
Thanks for the game!

Captain (Red, Tower, Torosar, Torosar) def RomarioGrom (Blue, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) Panic 145

That's right... on day 1 I took external dwellings of bulls, wasps, lizards 1-6 in the Citadel on day 2 I broke through to my native village and there was another external dwelling of bulls, that's what crippled the economy, even 3 Medusa spawns (2 max) didn't save me from the crisis, I blundered and rushed into the treasure zone but they broke the chain...

Thanks for the game and the lesson, I hope it'll be put to good use;)

04.04.2010, Dubrovin Pavel (Red, Tower, Niella, Niella) def scorp (Blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 224

In the first week - slow roads were distributed, I took the external dwelling of Gremlins and Mages, had money, Nagas in the Stronghold appeared, almost reached the Inferno secondary town in the Underworld. There is no Slow in the Tower; I hope it will be in Inferno. Scouted Consu for 3-4 Angels. Took about 5 Crypts.

In the second week - took Inferno, there was no Slow there either; already got defeated to buy back in the Tower, but then I thought I'd enter the Shrine as a Luck hero—successfully, Slow is available. Bought back in Inferno again, took the Shrine, got defeated into the Main town. Took the Maxi-Hive and Peppers behind same Vivas, losing 1 Core Naga. There was no morale, which would have been good. And there was no money left for cover in the form of Gargoyles, only 9 Golems, single units of Gargoyles and Gremlins, and 5 Core Nagas. Then I took Consu-Three. In the Inferno secondary town, there are exits to 2 Treasuries, one of which seemed Poor after being revealed by a Scout. Went to the other.

In the third week - took the Evil Bow there, discovered a Sword +5 for All behind the Nagas; here I made a mistake and decided that near Inferno there must be another Passage to the Treasury, a faster one. However, there was no one to scout since Orcs blocked the way. Took the Hive on 6 and got defeated into the Inferno secondary town, thinking there was a Passage. But it wasn't there. Went back to where I was defeated, and since Logy was never offered until the end of the game, I only reached the Sword for All at 142. On the way to the Sword in Pandoras, I gained Experience and Magic of the 1st Floor.

In the fourth week - took the Sword, revealed the map by Air and Earth. I see that it's possible to get through Misha's not-yet-occupied secondary town to the Inferno Treasury above, and many Stars and Voids are glowing there, which suggests Dragon Utopia dwellers. Went there, arrived only at the beginning of the next week.

In the fifth week - having broken through the Treasury Guard, I see a Dragon Utopia dweller and Boots of Resistance; took the Naga-Bank there on 6 to buy up. Misha is already there too, judging by the Shields. Took this Dragon Utopia-Two (Red Ball and Wings), flew to where the Shields are, almost reached an untaken Dragon Utopia dweller and Gurny, who settled nearby in the Gold Mine with a crowd of Thunderbirds. On his turn, Gurny takes the Dragon Utopia dweller and leaves; I fly to the Book of Fire, there is another Dragon Utopia dweller, but it's already been defeated. Got defeated into the Main town.

In the sixth week - at first I thought about going to that poor Treasury that glowed in the Inferno secondary town on the 2nd week; several Stars and a Library were glowing there, but then I decided to grab Misha's Capital, which by calculations could have been taken from his respawn. But the lack of Logy took its toll, and I fell 3 cells short of Gurny in the Capital with a small army. On his turn, Misha attacks. Misha has - 21 Gr. Bull, 140 Gr. Riders, 20+ Birds, 34 Vivas, Lizards and Orcs + 3 to Speed. I have - 400+ Gremlins, 66 Gr. Mage, 3 Angels, 20 Nagas, 18 Vivas, 40+ Golems. Misha casts Mass Haste, Birds get morale; having withstood the onslaught with the remnants of the army, Niella casts Armageddon, after which Misha has left - 7 Birds, 6 Gorgons, 11 Vivas, 20 Raiders. I have - 160 Gremlins, 12 Nagas, 20 Golems. Misha casts something on the Nagas, but the Nagas resist; Misha buys out. Then Gurny buys back and attacks again with single units, killing all Nagas with an explosion; Niella in response casts Armageddon, and everyone dies. On the next turn, via Heroes 5, I dig up Gurny in the Tavern, inform Misha, and they grant me the victory.

Thanks to Misha for an interesting game!

04.04.2010 SpiriTT (red, Castle, Turis, Charna) def Psyche_7 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 8mm6a, 123 WT
On the first map: cavalry in the Citadel in the capital, vampires in the Citadel near the Necromancer's computer, which was killed on day 4. On day 7, the external dwelling of green dragons was taken, still had enough money left for buying up. 8 heroes.
On the second map: managed to buy out the external dwelling, capture 2 Dwarf Cottages, and enter the underground. Main hero level 11.
The opponent surrendered due to lack of time for the tournament. A real pity.
Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Confirmed. Thank you for your time and the tournament.

wowa (Necro, Goshka) def redwhait (Castle, Valka) 144@Mini-Nostalgia, medium roads, WT with TE features disabled

for both of them this game turned out to be the last in this tournament
for personal reasons I am withdrawing from further play, the opponent will announce their decision in the response report

about the game itself: Necro specifically on this template – imho a gift from the opponent, there will always be plenty of time to ramp up, and the power to take the utop he will gather clearly earlier than other towns – maybe with the exception of Dungeon, but that one still needs good rolls, while Conflux with its fixed birds has clearly dropped lower
the opponent, by the way, bet on Conflux, taking it as his neighbor, but after building the birds, he realized their growth was by no means from SoD, and they also died quite a lot – still the weakest of the 7th-tier, and the upgrade allowed in WT/TE was never reached

I, despite a couple of losses (in the Griffin Conservatory and when my own castle was being recaptured by the computer with a cart that I didn't notice) and very long roads (on the surface there were compact 5 respawns with villages, while underground – where my start was – only 3 respawns) managed to get ahead of the opponent in might
at the start of month 4, I upgraded my 7th-tier; the plan was to build greens in the ramp I had chosen (which I took specifically for converting unics and drakes))))) which, with at least two treasure zones found in the central treasure zone, would have been pretty nice ;)
but it didn't come to that – on his 144, the opponent, having obtained the key TE spell books – Water and Fire – breaks his own GO, and gets caught by Goshka, who had been hanging around in that treasure zone for a day or two with bracers, uber-might, and doubled mana from the Dungeon he had taken for that purpose
parameters were roughly equal, but Goshka's library for FF was better: 3 books excluding Fire and Expert Elemental Magic except Air

the end of the tournament for both participants was marked by an Armageddon with nearly 1K damage :D :D
GG, thanks to my opponent for the game, and to the organizers for the tournament :)

Yes, I already played. There were mistakes, for example, one bird didn't take the external dwelling, he lost a good loot, and also an artifact +2 to speed.
The 4th hero barely got going, took 4 Dragon Utopia, they gave him books of fire and water, and a bunch of other useful things. He met a strong Goshka at the center, forgot to remove the vulnerability medal, and cast Armageddon :)

Thanks for the game and the tournament, I'm leaving too...

Miner, fast roads, 3 stacks + hidden unit +1 speed +2 to hits = 165 troglodytes, cons 2 immediately, then 3, and a rush on the blue player. The black player didn't even have time to cast a spell, but he ran away and hid for a week. During that time, he gathered a treasure of 28 ducks, cons 2, and finished him off in the castle.)))
Thank you for the game.
