11th round
"3 Bears" - "Knights of the Apocalypse"
15.04.2010 numOne (red, swamp, Wystan, Wystan) def OUTLAW (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 133

After all resets, fast roads appeared, 2 Dragon Utopias and 2 Griffin Conservatories were revealed at the respawn. I push through to the grass, capture Conflux, the road to another secondary is blocked by GO. I win a chain +4, Wystan with Earth magic, at home 1-6, no level 4 in the Citadel.
I start the second week at the Stable, Medusa dwelling on day 8, Imp dwelling, scout heroes clear external dwellings of lizards and ducks on the side, I buy all of them - go to the swamp to take the Griffin Conservatories. Checked the first one - max, no spell book, but I really don't want to turn back, check another nearby one - min, take it and start on the second. Wystan is already well-leveled, 7 8 4 2 with Expert Armorer and Archery. I go in and clear the response stack with flies, angel, and the ducks hit the bottom left; I managed to hide the lizards in a corner. I exit losing the Gnoll cows and 2 ducks, but I have 5 angels in hand! Scouts reveal another Griffin Conservatory near Conflux, I break through there, buy a spell book, destroy it - a triple. Zydar takes the Imp dwelling and Naga Bank.
On day 131 after the Stable, I break through, take a Naga Bank at level 4 near the capital, another Griffin Conservatory min, I enter a Dragon Utopia. There was hardly any retaliation - almost all the ducks were killed, but I got Gladius, Wings, and Cape of Air! I position myself before GO (rust dragons) with no mana. For retaliation, I bring in Storm Elementals and Water Elementals. The rust dragons fell, then ancient Behemoths. I take the blue capital and immediately hit Shahter standing on Efreeti (21 of them!). I also could have reached the scout hero with ducks and Troglodytes, but Igor surrenders.

Thanks for the game!

Round 11
"3 Bears" - "KNIGHTS OF APOCALYPSE"
04/15/2010 numOne (red, swamp, Wistan, Wistan) def OUTLAW (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 133

The generator practically buried the secondary towns in the basement – both Inferno and Necropolis. In the first, I took Inferno, grabbed a nest of ifrits, and placed them in the fort, with dwellings 1-3 and a portal. In the second, I took the Hive (6) and cleared the revealed metro. One path led to the opponent's home town, but I didn't want to go through the swamp, and it didn't work out anyway... The second metro led to the opponent's secondary town in the dirt, with a passage to the mega treasure on lava nearby. I think I made a mistake by going to the underground treasure, losing 3 days, where all I got was a vial +2 health, 2 nests of ifrits, and a Hive (4).
An overview of the land showed that the treasure was small, and further progress was blocked by a group of 10-19 red dragons. I went back home and planned to dive into the metro to the treasure on lava the next day. But on his turn, Wistan breaks through the gate and catches the Miner with 21 ifrits, and the rest of the army is nearby with the scout. And even if the Miner had his entire army, Wistan's stats would have decided the outcome. Overall, it was a one-sided game :smile27:
Thank you for the game!!

Round 5
"3 Bears" - "Many in One"
FireToSky (blue, Necropolis, Goshan) def Decontaminator (red, Conflux, Tunar, Tunar), 2sm4d(3), 133
Thanks for the game!

The opponent played very aggressively:smile20:, unlike me:smile35! As a result, a non-critical army crushed the elemental troops along with their castle!:smile34:
Thank you for the game and the experience.

Got up from the underground like a cobra in front of a TOURIST :) And it all started so well, scouted 4 Griffin Conservatories, there would have been 8 angels, but what the hell is going on, one gryphon conservatory for 12 Wyvern and that's it..... I'm in shock!!! That's not fair :)
Thanks for the quick game......

7 тур
"3 медведя" - "Поедатели жареного"
17.04.2010 numOne (red, swamp, Wystan, Wystan) def Looser (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 127

After all the resurrections, Wystan came with 4 Lizardmen; fortunately Alkin with Flies was sitting in the tavern — it worked out fine to spread out. On the first [month], I dig up 6(!) Gnoll huts, beat 5 Crypts (2 pre-max and 1 max), painted the Dungeon in the basement and the Barbarians, beat the Chain+4, Wystan got Water and Log, bought the Book, home 1-6, without 4 in the Castle.
On the second [month], I break a level-3 Griffin Conservatory, a level-8 Hive, advance through the swamp toward the passage to the opponent's secondary [town], picking up a Crypt along the way, a Medusa Fountain at level 10, max Dwarf Cottage, mini Griffin Conservatory. Just as I came out onto the grass, Valeska attacked me.
Wystan 10 9 6 5(50), Ice Bolt at 140.
32 Lizard Warriors, 4 Angels, 9 Cows, 9 Ducks, units of Flyers.
Valeska 12 8 2 4(30)
17 Grand Elves, 25 Marksmen, 1 Angel, 4 Cavaliers, 32 Dwarves, 70+ Skeletons and 5 Peasants.
With magic I mow down the shooters, deal with the rest in melee; Valeska couldn't escape — GG.

Thanks for the game!

I don't know which turn it is
Lomat vs 3 bears

Kebazavr (Blue, Conf, random, money) def Van (Red, Dunge, Mines, Mines) 2sm4d(3) 132

Took all the rests and the central respawn with 2 air external dwellings and one each of water and mind. Cons, no hives, there are 2 crypts and 3 exits to the fluorics. Painted the external dwellings on the first turn. At home, storm and mind were upgraded in the citadel. Also in the Dragon Utopia zone at my place. In the end, I painted those fluorics, which allowed me to buy out levels 6, 7, 2 on the market; the rest faded in the capital, where it was enough to repel the red attack. Thanks.

Kebazavr (Haven, random, Monk) def Van (Dungeon, Shaft, Shaft) 2sm4d(3) 132
It was a good game, thanks for playing.

Homo Homini vs. Contact Noobs

bRitvo4kA (blue, Stronghold, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) def BA/IEHOK (red, Tower, Nella, Nella), Mini-Nostalgia, 237

The angelic power was impressive, so I decided not to get involved and bought my way out.

-Nella has a Cloak of Nullification. A successful blind attack on the angels in the 1st round, and I finish them off with lightning. I managed to turn the tide in my favor, and Nella buys her way out.
-an innocent victim is Crag, packed with relics.
-I haven't seen this many angels online before. We exchanged imps; I had fewer - 2700, while Nella had 3300. But thanks to the health potion, I had an advantage in terms of units. I put on the Shackles, because I had no choice; if Nella runs away, she'll be back next week with a pack of angels, and then I'm done for. The opponent casts Armageddon for 1900; 25 lizards (thanks to the potion) and some remaining efreets survive. I resurrect the angels and win.

Thanks for the game!

Breaking vs e pluribus unum

Kebazavr (Red, Castle, Valya, Nagash) def Decontaminator (Blue, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) 2sm4d(3) 134

Blue took all the rests, I'm on 111 and off we go. Spawned average, but with bows' necromancy and native fort after as it turned out. Have Nagash and in the very first fight lose 5 bows to morale, total together 32 gave. On first took native fort, scouted a Dragon Utopia and GG was already predetermined. Home built cavalry in Citadel, in fort swords. Then on 121 Nagash hits a box behind a crowd of gray ogres, it's empty (magic apparently, but need money. As a result on 124 ate a Griffin Conservatory through without checking, pity it was 3, Nagash on Air Expert, bonus dungeon fort with double mana and bolt for 225 in total = rush, but without logistics barely peck peck and thank God Blue holed up in their capital - there was a bolt execution with Expert Ballista. Thank you.

I'm writing in this thread because that main thread on Castle is closed.

There is a substitution in the "Breaking" team. Instead of Volland, Hardcore(366640044) will play in the lineup. I ask the organizer of this tournament to take note. Everyone who hasn't started with Volland, contact Hard; the first will finish his started games. Thank you.

"Contact Noobs" - "Vampires"
18.04.2010 Vernik(Red Rampart Kieri Kieri) def Kash(Blue Necropolis Gosh Gosh) 8mm6a 144
thanks for the game :smile14:

Thank you too :)

On the first, I barely got Liches in the Citadel, crawled in the underground and through the snow, fought with everything and a lot, Gosh and Vokial finished the week both at level 6. Killed a Snow Ape, slightly unfinished actually, and at the start of the second it put Vokial in the tavern for a couple of days

On the second, what Gosh was doing, he probably didn't understand himself either, because when he was level 12, Vokial and Tamika were level 10) Took 2 Griffin Conservatories with 3 Angels each, made skeletons up to about 400, Gosh stalled with 127 before the Utoba

131 a two-slot with +5 to all and a shield +/- , then initially moved very correctly toward the reds, but the snow confused him. Couldn't take it, returned, found two weak neutral creatures, doubled mana in a dungeon and gave it back, took another two-slot in the center - a Teapot +6 and Boots

141 from the stable on an Angel bought himself off from the neutral, bought himself back home to learn Chain Lightning, on the Utoba I had to crash into Conflux on the same Angel (left not a single unit at home). Another major blunder - I was sure that Tan would pass Animate Dead from Tanta, it dawned on me too late that without Wisdom nothing can be passed, started leveling Tan, but didn't make it.. In the final I could have pulled it off if I had any worthwhile magic - Anti-Magic on 900 skeletons, or Animate Dead on them. But as it was, with just Chain Lightning.. Plus I messed up pretty badly, three misclicks alone.

Denis, good job, beat everyone like that. gg

BA/IEHOK (red, Fortress, Brokhild, Brokhild), Jebus, 114 On turn 113, I took the Pandora artifact for 29 mummies and upgraded Ivor, production of earth and expert logistics + wisdom, and anticipating a successful future, I pass the turn. From there, I received a "lucky" message – I was attacked by gold units:eek:, there were 50 of them, and I got my butt kicked:smile11:.... Thanks for the quick game.... You'll definitely get your revenge at the Wastelands tournament on the Portal, where should I collect money for advertising the tournament:D

Why did you insult the guys like that? :smile52:

Round 9 Smash vs "Unity in Diversity"

Kebazavr (Red, Castle, Valia, Nagash) def Dekontaminator (Blue, Swamp, Vistan, Vistan) 2sm4d(3) 134
Thank you.

When Nagash emerged from the metro on my respawn point, Vistan had just broken through into the swamp tier. I was even happy, although there were some bad omens: I lacked slow and haste, while Nagash had good combat and especially magical stats, and he also cut off the supply of reinforcements from the capital. Without reinforcements, Nagash boldly advances on the second tier for 3 weeks. I decided to play it safe :D - I split Vistan to the second tier, traded, bought almost everything, and built a Castle, waiting:smile10:. But :smile53: the red mage was on top of his game :smile17: :smile20:.
Thank you for the interesting game and experience.
