Sorry everyone!
The draw will not take place today!
Due to the situation with Looser and technical difficulties. Everything will be fine tomorrow!

The draw is postponed indefinitely, as the story with Looser apparently hasn't ended.

The draw has been postponed indefinitely.

AK made a decision and announced it, giving them an unreasonably long time to justify themselves (although, I think everything is obvious there anyway) - what's the point of these hesitations?
Let's have the draw, shall we? :)

Take it, sign for it. Good luck to all!!!

We saved game 141 with Cash. Is there still a chance for us to compete, or is it pointless – will "=" still be at the top of the table?

We played a game with Cash and got 141. Do we still have a chance to compete, or is it pointless since "=" will remain at the top of the table?

Kostya, I can still play today; I haven't left yet. Join me on ICQ. I might fall asleep, so send me a message.

of course you can!!! and you should! the score will remain the same if you don't finish before the next round starts!

Kash (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def KостяN (blue, Conflux, random, Brissa, Dragon), Mini-Nostalgia, 142

I won't write much, I played poorly as usual.
We spawned next to each other, so we could see each other's castles from the scouting posts.
On the first day, I ran a long way towards the Barbarian, didn't make it, took Inferno, there was only a Dragon Utopia at the respawn and a treasure zone that seemed a bit far.
On the second day, we run to the Necromancers underground, in their treasure zone I see several Dragon Fly Hives and a КЗ behind the Magic realm, and I notice the Griffin Conservatory at the respawn too late. There was nothing special to take the Dragon Fly Hives with, because I stupidly lost 2 horses, I get destroyed and take only the level-2 Griffin Conservatory on day 127.
I get destroyed back into the treasure zone, collect 24 Wyverns in groups of 4-6, give 2 for the spell book, give the bracers for the green area, run to what I thought was a Dragon Utopia, but that turned out to be in another treasure zone. Another swear word, I get destroyed into Inferno and run into their treasure zone, there is a +6 sword and +5 shield and a level-3 Dragon Utopia on day 137 with a chalice, sandals, and a mana hat, I get destroyed from it back into Inferno and fortify.
Day 141 gives us a fifth-level hat, +4+4 attack/defense, something else, we fly home through stables and a well, attack the next day. Low on troops, but parameters are noticeably higher than what Dragon has, plus bracers and КЗ.
Dragon on his turn stands with 9 angels and 6 archangels.
Day 142 I get intercepted during the march.

Thanks for the game, and I got lucky again

Alright, I finished him off. I'll write a short summary now.

Well done!!!

Kash (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def KостяN (blue, Conflux, random, Brissa, Dragon), Mini-Nostalgia, 142

Played Conflux online for the first time (don't think I trained much in single player either, maybe once a long time ago at most). I played poorly from a template perspective - I didn't go "hunting" for the AI as early as possible and even the 1st day wasn't enough to reach the center by that deadline:o :o :o . As a positive for myself, I can barely count only the stretch from 111 to 121, where I farmed gold in 4 crypts and some side areas for birds in the Citadel, without losing any of the 15 air elementals, and took an external dwelling of Dwarf Cottages with one of the candidate main heroes - Octavia with Tactics and Air. Though the external market helped a lot - traded a couple thousand there on 117. And on 121, dumping all resources to zero, I managed to buy all the birds, psychos + a few others - took a Dwarf Cottage-30 with gr. stack for 1 pixie, not a bad fight for such a noob:D. There was also a moment on week 1: I was thinking whom to buy and make the main hero - Dragon or Edric? both have identical skills it seems, but then I remembered an important nuance that swamp dwellers rule in terms of chance for useful skills - and that decided my choice;) (the fact that I lost anyway in the end is not Dragon's fault:) ).

After the Dwarf Cottage, nothing interesting happened: a prison with Alamar 5th (subsequently carelessly fed to the AI), a mini-tree (the only one found all game). AI-Dungeon, where there was an immediate Whirlpool and 60 mana (around 124). Town portal home, leveling up on a treasure chest (though there was no money - there was even a serious question about whether to build or not a Castle on 127:eek: !), Griffin Conservatory without checking (was ready to eat any...) - it turned out to be a 3, also fought decently even with the artifact - lost 1 pixie, just like in the Dwarf Cottage (birds had less than 30 HP left - lucky there were no moral bonuses for the chickens:rolleyes: ). And it seems by 127 I was sitting in an empty swamp, where the stupid AI chickened out and didn't even set up a Magistrate:mad: .

On day 3 I ran around a dull treasure zone with 2 external dwellings of green dragons and 20000 experience as the useful stuff - and at the same time SIX(!!!) prisons:smile21: :smile35:. Then I broke into a dungeon where the noobs found another Griffin Conservatory. But I wasted a whole day and a half there - a chain of 7-8 heroes simply couldn't reach it, let alone connect. There were also 3 griffins there. All that was left was to go to the center through some "several" rusted (locations?), thankfully with Offense-Defense-Earth-Tactics, thought I should break through fine... But I got myself caught out like a total noob. And even full Meat would not have saved me without Anti-Magic - 7 Implosions on 2000 and no full Meat:) .

Thanks, Vit, probably not likely as you said "you'll get your revenge" - that's unlikely:D, I think I'm playing worse with each game, while you're playing better - that's the impression I get...

Jumped out of a teleport and caught Pyre, who passed the loot to a scout hero and escaped, but the scout hero didn't get far)).
Thanks for the game

Satyr (blue, Swamp, Bronhild, Bronhild-Lacus) def SpiriTT (red, Citadel, Crag, Crag) Jebus Cross, 134 D

Without all features, only GS and morale disabled + rebuilding.
We chose all rests. On 111 I fan out, on the road to ГО a broker from lotuses crosses for a prison. I lose my Wyvern in a max crypt, solid start :cool:. I smashed 3 more crypts, took a secondary Ramp, a pocket of basilisks. I see 2 pockets of Wyverns for 10-19 tier Cyclops and 20+ Djinns, forget it. I got Log and Earth. On 114, after buying a Hydra, I hit 27 crosses, they nibbled decently, but in the prison is Lacus level 10, expert Tactics and Logistics, cool.
On 115 I attacked a pocket of Wyverns for 20+ Vampires, there were over 40 of them :eek:. I was a bit taken aback, they killed 6 Basilisks and a Gorgon, Gnolls were hit hard. I finished off the basilisks in the pocket. Then I saw a club +5 near the pocket behind a hill :D.
116 killed a horde of Harpies and took a mini hive, almost no Gnolls and Lizardmen left. 117 Lacus hits a horde of Lizard Warriors and takes an 8-size hive. I sacrificed all remaining army, only 15 Wyverns and a Hydra left. A scout painted another Wyvern pocket. 1-7 in the castle.
On 121 I killed a horde of Griffins for a shield +5. I run for the remaining 2 hives. On 122 Bronh hits Vampires for a library, but still no level 10, and the army is already gone, I skipped a bit of movement; Lacus took another Dragon Fly Hive at 8.
123 another hive at 8, can't return in time, I buy Basilisks; Bronh reaches level 10 on a horde of Devils, visits the library and scatters on scouting, buys a book for expert Earth; on the second try there's leather. In the ramp, I built Slow on the second try, a bookworm scattered there and back, I schooled Bronh in Oil.
124 on the way home I smacked a Dwarf Cottage, Naga, and Bronh without losses against a ГО of Wyverns. Then 30+ Naga Queens for +3 to all. From here, I don't speed up until 127, afraid of getting smacked. Farming in the Treasure Zone, I only found 1 relic, but I took Boots of Speed and КЗ from Nagas, also a Helm of the 5th and a Pendant of Courage, and those same Nagas, but from a horde, and I cleared 2 Dragon Utopias, which gave good stats, but again only Wyverns and Hydras remained in the army :).
At the end of 127, I scattered home to replenish mana; one central castle was blocked by 2 GO of Angels, the other by a hundred Cyclops for КЗ and a shield +12 :smile04:.
131 full buying, upgrade Wyverns and Hydras, the army goes to Lacus; he hits the Cyclops, takes Inferno as secondary; there Bronh buys himself out and takes another Dragon Utopia behind a horde of Cyclops near the reds' respawn. It gave Wings; I have 3 Tomes, except Fire; I'm short +1 to all for Alliance :cool:. Packed to the brim.
132 Bronh and Lacus chew through 6-8 Pandoras, almost all for experience, only 120 Devils gave something. On 133 Lacus takes another Dragon Utopia, a couple of hives; Bronh moves towards the reds, took another Dragon Fly Hive. 134 Crag is very close, hitting a GO in no-road terrain; I attack, there are 14 Grey, but mind-blowing stats and 3 Tomes do their job without issues.
Thanks for the game.

01/05/2010 Van (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) def Hermit (red, Inferno, Pyra, Pyra), Panic 135
He teleported in, caught Pyra, who passed on the loot and fled, but the loot didn't go far)).
Thanks for the game.

That's how it was. My home base was very poor. There was very little money. After building a Fire Lake and hiring two Efreet, I broke through to the Necropolis base through a horde of lizards with acceptable losses. It turned out to be small, and further passages to the villages were guarded by many Medusas, almost a horde, a pack of Efreet Sultans, and Royal Cyclops. On the second turn, I barely managed to gather an army and, after defeating the Medusas and then the Cerberuses, I captured two villages. Pyra didn't get any particularly useful skills... :( On the third turn, I already had some money from the villages, so I hired a few more troops and, after defeating a pack of Efreet Sultans, I attacked the Snow base and captured a Rampart village there. Then, after passing through many Demons, I reached the middle of my opponent's territory. The turn was almost over, and suddenly I saw Valeska with a group of Angels, as it turned out, 7 of them. And she also had Boots of Swiftness. I wasn't ready for such a turn of events... I captured a Rampart village nearby, attacked it, killing one Crusader, but losing 16 Centaurs. A scout took the army to the Snow base village, and there were still many resources to exchange them for money and hire another hero to take the army to a safe place, but the seconds were ticking. :( I didn't have time. Valeska in her boots reached the loot. There wasn't enough money for a ransom.

Thanks for the game.

Gomunguls (Red, Stronghold, Crag, Crag) def SpiriTT (Blue, Swamp, Tazar, Tazar) 8mm6a, 1.2.5
We took several restarts, then started... decent spawn, immediately several heroes scattered across the respawn! On turn 3 I blundered and attacked not with the main hero but with a scout hero... and lost the army... wanted to surrender, but Artyom gave auto (thanks!)... we play on, I reveal Boots Speed and Stable. With Crag I leveled Attack and Earth Magic to Expert, on turn 3 I built Dwellings and by the end of the week the Castle! I revealed an external dwelling of Dwellings, but didn't attack, the guards were decent... on week 2 I busted 20 Wyverns with a growth stack and captured the external dwelling... then I killed nearly 100 Water Elementals and on day 2 I approached the Dragon Fly Hive... turned out to be max, I lost a few birds there... then I grabbed another max Dragon Fly Hive! And on 1.2.3 having 24 Wyverns, the question was — either run to the gray player or go for 2 more Dragon Fly Hives and break the Dragon Utopia... but then Tazar jumped out of the portal and then back... I rushed in there... had 500 experience left to Expert Air Magic... I kill an enemy scout hero and replenish my spells... Tazar is not there, next turn. Tazar kills my scout and the army leaves with the scout while Tazar gets wiped... I run in the direction everyone went and into the portal... there I reach the Capital, where Tazar is without an army...
Thanks for the game!!!
