Game of Round 8 "Поедатели жареного" VS "Homo Homini"
rebellious (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Wlk777 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), SoD, 2SM4d(3), 217

On the second day I spotted a "teapot" behind the gorgons on snow through the forest - one day's movement from town (with Fly, of course). :eek: All thoughts were on it. On the first week I took the secondary town, built a citadel there. In my own town - standard - unicorns in the fort. As for externals - dwarves and centaurs (the path to the other secondary was guarded by mages behind a horde; I got there on the second week, recolored it from blue (inside there was already a portal with redeemed manticores). I cleared the Dragon Utopia guard on the grassy secondary - a horde of Magma Dragons, took an angel from the Conservatory and 8 Wyverns, and with dwarves, pikemen, skeletons (from Charna) went inside. It was a 2-level chest, gave helm +4, +4, and what I really wanted - Wings! Meanwhile, I see a picture of Shakti fighting Titans at the ГO. The Titans held out, 5-9 remained. I rush for the teapot, while Shakti goes to the sandy treasure zone - there were a Dragon Utopia, a Dragon Fly Hive, and a Conservatory visible. On the fourth week, Shakti comes to me again with a pathetic army. I attack. I kill almost all, but the opponent's Elemental summon for 80 bodies and very good defense make me frantically think how much money I have in the bank to buy back at the right moment. Having lost a horde of elves (all), a pack of horses (all), about 150 centaurs, 2 angels (out of 5), and a dozen pegasi, I finally fled (with dwarves and dendroids). But there is a horde of archers in the secondary, and Charna is working. Plus, wax is accumulating in the dungeon. I fly to the treasure zone on lava, to the long-spotted Dragon Utopia - a 3-level - Gladius and Titan's Helm plus Red Orb. Now the opponent is not scary. I gathered some troops on the snow, scout heroes took the towns from the blues. But Shakti again reclaimed his main town and came to me. Kyrre was also about to head to the opponent, attacked. After the discovery, most likely, of Kyrre's Sphere of Suppression, the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game.

If I understand correctly, the tournament organizers don't have the time or desire to monitor the tournament and update the results table.

I apologize. I will, of course, maintain the table, but since I'm not very good with HTML tables (:o), I won't edit the table from the second post. I promise to upload a temporary Excel version soon (as soon as I get to my computer) ;) Then I'll ask someone to make changes to a more visually appealing table.

If I understand correctly, the tournament organizers don't have the time or desire to monitor the tournament and update the results table.

I sincerely apologize, but I don't have enough time to keep track of everything. As soon as Tanya fixes the HL version, I will immediately duplicate it in a nice format.

7th round. Deep-Fried Eaters VS 3 Bears
zloi_romantik (Blue, Castle, Valya, Valya) def FireToSky (Red, Stronghold, Gurni, Brissa) 132 sm ka
The most idiotic game of my life, the outcome of which was decided by the typing speed of the phrase "I surrender" on the keyboard :D At the moment I was typing it, I got distracted chatting on ICQ, and imagine my surprise when I read that the opponent had surrendered first :eek: :D :D :D. The thing is, after the final battle, in which Valya lost all her troops but also decimated almost the entire Barbarian army, neither side had any troops or money left :)
As for the game itself — Valya had Expert Archery, Leadership, Armor, and Logistics. On the second week I took a Griffin Conservatory without upgrading it and decided to force the issue, so I went through a secondary hero towards the opponent's presumed lands, didn't quite make it, and ran into Brissa with insane shooting for 250 :eek:, who killed a ton of my meat. No way out — I went to the castle, but couldn't handle it, no money to ransom, left 3 Pits, a couple of Demons, a couple of Hounds alive, and ran away :(
I decided to run around a bit more, thought about buying some troops in Rampart, but then reconsidered and decided not to continue, when suddenly news of the capitulation arrived. I would have offered the opponent a draw instead of surrender, and he would have agreed without a second thought...
Thanks for the game, and even more for the unexpected result :D
P.S. That's some luck, freeing such a powerful Brissa from a prison :)

>>Round 7. Fried Eaters VS 3 bears
Wow, the opponent got lucky... thanks for the game.

Round 13. Fried Eaters vs. Witches
Palach (as I understand, he played for Loser) blue Barbarian Kreg against AYMAN, red Tower Aine, 217 skill points.
He upset his opponent with a generator; the blue player has four paths, the red player has two.
Thanks for the game.

Palach (as I understand, he was playing as the Loser) – blue Barbarian Kreg against AYMAN, red Tower Aine, 217 skill points. There's nothing to say. It was a complete disaster. I summoned a Necromancer and did everything I could, but it was probably impossible to win. Kreg had 5 Mermaids and 4 Draconians (for the blue player), so it was a total mess. Thanks for the game!!!!!!!

5th round
"WITCHES" vs "Knights of the Apocalypse"
1.5.2010 RomarioGrom (blue, Conflux, random, Lacus, Greendan) def OUTLAW (red, Castle, Vale, Vistan) 2SM4d(3) 127

Started without air elementals and didn't get much of an army, but there was a Dungeon under the Castle from which some cannon fodder arrived, enough for the first week. On 113 I opened the view spell and revealed a sizable chunk of the red player's territory, decided to play. I had nothing to break into secondary mines, so I only took 1 crypt and scrounged up some birds. By the end of the week I found the entrance to the underground (see secondary) and decided to try a rush. Greendan already had Earth expert and had enough mana. 2nd I took the Medusa Hive(6) and a Dragon Fly Hive for the same amount of Wyverns, then around 40 Minotaurs (for a chest with level 3 magic :( ) went into the subway, captured the Dungeon, nearby a helmet +3 knowledge, then through the Naga(4) pool and towards the red player. Greendan, 3 2 9 9, also had Air expert, added 2 Efreeti from the camp and decided to storm the Castle. The Fireball was long, even though I quickly shot down the birds, the Castle's cannon fodder held out and allowed me to win through attrition. A rough rush, but the main thing is the result :)
Thank you Igor for the game!!! :smile20:

Round 5
"WITCHES" vs "Knights of Apocalypse"
1.5.2010 RomarioGrom (blue, Flaks, random, Lakusa, Grindan) def OUTLAW (red, Castle, Valya, Vistan) 2SM4d(3) 127

I yawned openly during the game, and as a result, my opponent wrote that he was taking Conflict, and I, stunned, reviewed the logs and saw that I hadn't crossed it out :smile08:.
I chose all the remaining resources and got a decent generation, but my opponent quickly broke through my secondary line. In the first round, I painted the Dungeon, but I didn't have enough movement to take the Swamp (empty) on turn 117. I painted it on turn 121, where 7 lizards were already sitting)). At home, I had horses and griffons in the Stronghold. On all 3 resource points, there were no cons or hives, only a few archers and swordsmen. As a result, when Grinya broke through to my Dungeon, I had to meet him only with my native mob. However, Vistan was well-leveled with defense (exp) -12 and attack 4, so 4 birds per attack took down 10-11 archers :D, but 70+ mana and an archer with 120 hit damage allowed me to defeat my opponent, leaving him with 9 ice elementals.
Thank you for the game!!

9th round 1-1
"Knights of the Apocalypse"-"Fried Food Eaters"
2.05.2010 SpiriTT (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def злой_романтик (red, Castle, Vala, Charna) 8mm6a, 124
I took all the resists; the opponent still had 113. Out of 4 generations, 3 had double build for red — brutal. I was pretty scared, but nothing to be done, no resists left, generation was playable — so we started.
There was a teleport near the castle; on the first day I took a crypt and a couple of treasure chests — Kyrre hit level 4 immediately with Air Magic. The losers scattered and revealed a Griffin Conservatory, another crypt, and an experience stone.
Then an external dwelling of dragons was revealed!!! Very good! But it was guarded by 50+ pegasi, so I decided to leave it for week 2. Also found a Golden Bow behind 50+ demons! I fought my way to the green swamp — but there was a block of 19 Grand Elves, decided to skip it and look for purple — there was Rampart there. (Well, if the opponent had double, why should we be worse =)) I took Spirit of Oppression, revealed a Pandora's Box guarded by 20+ Pit Fiends, broke through to purple and took it; there I immediately cleared the Hive guard — a small Dragon Fly Hive, disappointing...
I fought off the purple player and sent him to the other world.
In the castle, there were Unicorns in the Citadel with a Marketplace. The computer had Dendroids in the Fort (with Pegasi). On day 121, I took the small Dragon Fly Hive, then grabbed a Ring +1 Health. Then pink popped out and broke the chain. Damn it... well, no matter, we run with Kyrre, kill him, next turn split and take Dwarf Cottage — Crypt — Griffin Conservatory — Pandora's Box. Then ZL Naga Bank, Dragon external dwelling, and to the Dragon Fly Hives and into the breached treasure zone... Kyrre was level 11.
But the opponent merged his troops and surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

2. 05.2010 SpiriTT (blue, Rampart, Kir, Kir) def zloy_romantik (red, Castle, Valya, Charna) 8mm6a, 124
Confirmed. Charna arrived, and I decided to level her up, but the skeletons seemed to gather awkwardly, and then at the most inopportune moment, I received antimoral and moral from the neutrals:mad: I had to flee, and I passed the troops along the chain to a player who was supposed to take the Companion's castle, but 14 griffins and 8 cruisers, along with archers and pikemen, showed him what's what:(

Round 8 Game "Fried Eaters" VS "Homo Homini"
rebellious (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Wlk777 (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), SoD, 2SM4d(3), 217

It happened. That's more or less how it went; there was an external dwelling of cats and КЗ for 100+ mages... I took it at the start of the 3rd, but the map was very poor in cons and hives; in the middle of the 3rd I broke 1 ГО (under 20 gold dragons), they fell easily although besides 17 gr cats there were almost no troops. Then at 3 AM I had a momentary lapse of reason and with 40 mana decided to hit those same 17 cats and change under 20 titans—a total wipeout, saved a day :smile05: . Loss of tempo for at least a week, during which Kirya opened the home Dragon Utopia with wings, and my parameters, which had grown quite a bit after the 2nd Dragon Utopia, no longer helped; from that same home Dragon Utopia, Kirya got money for redemption—the last chance was gone. Thanks for the game.

12th round
"Knights of the Apocalypse" - "Nebuchadnezzar"
3.05.2010 SpiriTT (blue, Rampart, Kyr, Kyr) def mals (red, Castle, Valeska, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 144
Ugh... The neutrals wore me out! After all the resets, it gave slow roads. Funny generation. The guard of the secondary mine was standing 2 tiles away from the secondary mine itself =) (gold golems). By the end of the first week, I had 1-6 at home without 2 in the citadel, 2 more ramps, elves placed in one. Next to the second one - Griffin Conservatory strong, which turned out to be max.
Well, I thought the layout was favorable - got to win))) 121: almost the entire army of week 2 lost to 50+ knights with morale. For the Pandora's box, 10k experience. Out of the army, 27 grand elves and 1 unicorn. I bought heroes from the first secondary mine, went into the treasure zone, and there I took 2 external human cavalry dwellings with the leftovers.
And then a clever trick.
127: All heroes except Kyr moved, Kyra captured the second external cavalry dwelling. Few moves left, and something made me force it))) no idea what to call it.
Anyway, on 127 with an army of 1 unicorn, 13 dwarves, 4 cavalry, 9 centaurs, and 27 grand elves (9 mana), I went at a horde of dendroids, and there were naturally 73+15 growth dendroids. They guarded Boots of Speed and a +5 Shield. 23 grand elves remained... I don't know how I managed to pull it off... when they approached the corner with the grand elves, 2 stacks got morale and they blocked the grand elves - couldn't get out... Distracted with the cavalry and then spent about 10 minutes manually finishing off the last 3 stacks.
Alright. 131: attacked the guard of the hive - 17 unicorns. And what? 6 blindings in a row from the same stack!!! In short, I came out with 2 cavalry and 10 grand elves.
Then I transported the elves, took 2 naga banks, skipped turns waiting for 141 or the moment when I would be killed. On 141, I took the max Griffin Conservatory. Destroyed it and took the Dragon Utopia for 2 keys on the Book of Fire, Titan's Shield, and Ogre's Club. On the same turn, Tazar somehow managed to lose his entire army in the max Dragon Utopia. I don't know how the opponent managed that - from the saves, he took it on the first try without trouble. Still had leftover pokemons: 4 cavalry and an angel. The reds surrendered. If Tazar had beaten the Dragon Utopia, I would have surrendered. There was a Titan's Sword, and the КЗ necklace of Tuol.
Thanks for the game and the time.

Round 12
"Knights of the Apocalypse" - "Nebuchadnezzar"
05/03/2010 SpiriTT (blue, Rampart, Kir, Kir) def. mals (red, Castle, Valeska, Tazar) 2sm4d(3), 144

Confirmed. Playing at night doesn't lead to good results. Thanks for the game.

"Contact Noobs" - "Fried Food Eaters"
Deriel Linch (Red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Clavius, 5 7 6 4) def злой романтик (Blue, Castle, Valeska, Tamika, 6 11 6 4) 2sm4d(3), SoD, 141.
Week 1 Day 1-5 in the castle +1000
I enter the tavern and see 30+ skeletons having fun there behind three pushed-together tables, led by Clavius) since this necromancer is savvy in economics, he can afford such feasts with friends every day) after thinking a bit, I decide to take him as main hero, even despite the fact that the *friends* are a bit unaccustomed to walking on rocks..
On Wednesday (113) I break a 40-stack of berserkers with expert necromancy, and the cute faces in our army become 80+; later that evening, scout Orin brings us a stone that mysteriously raises the morale of goblins and hobgoblins, and that can't help but please))
On Thursday I see a passage to the grass behind 50+ dwarves, I beat them and a bit further down the road we encounter some disappointment - a block of medusae guarding a Dragon Fly Hive, presumably 40+... well, it happens, I thought, and went to collect skeletons on a small patch of crookedly generated grass... there were some gold issues, so birds are built in the castle.
Week 2 Day 1-5 in the castle of the necro secondary
Harvest week)
2-3 splits and by the end of the week we have 500+ skeletons at our disposal.
126-127 Clavius gets home (to Necropolis), Veil of Darkness and transformer are built.
132 - about 150 goblins are turned into skeletons (a procedure not for the faint of heart)) and I go to the treasury
134-135 the opponent emerges from underground and runs across the wasteland to my capital, I check him... he has 350+ skeletons.
136 - I get wiped in the necro and make a tricky move - under the Veil I leave a scout with 500 skeletons and Clavius's candle with a puny army. The opponent seems to have fallen for it and holed up in my capital.
141 - FB
I have mass haste and mass slow
Tamika only has mass haste

champions 9, orcs 21 (enough cas to take down a single one)
Round 1 - the gates are busted, mass haste, removing retaliation from skeletons and angels. The opponent also casts mass haste, kills 70+ skeletons with champions (they fall from retaliation) and adds with angels
Round 2 - mass slow - angels fall from bows.
then with a strike I kill the opponent's skeletons with my cute faces and gg.
Thanks for the game
